8 NEWS Systemic microbiota approach
After providing natural solutions from the marine world to protect the skin from deleterious effects, the R&D department of the Greentech Group has focused on hair loss (alopecia) using a systemic approach including the study of the Wnt / β-catenin cell signalling pathway, key to the hair cycle and the study of the scalp microbiota. Due to its hot and humid
environment as well as its richness in sebum, the scalp contains many yeasts, particularly from Malassezia species involved in the occurrence of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and alopecia. Among these bacteria, the most common are C. acnes and S. epidermidis but there are also local populations that synthesise vitamins and nutrients
suffering from alopecia and evaluated whether molecules such as terpenes and the polyphenols family, that are found in the plant world, could modulate this microbiota. Greentech’s ingredient, Hairline, was born. Hairline reduces the C. acnes/ S. epidermidis ratio, which is strongly increased in the case of alopecia, causing microinflammation. Besides this, it rebalances the M. globosa and M. restrica ratio. In vitro studies have shown
essential for hair growth. The link between alopecia and imbalance of the scalp microbiota has been little investigated. Thanks to a metagenomic
study, Greentech characterised the scalp’s microbiota of people
an important action on the inhibitors of the Wnt pathway, the key to hair growth. These results are reflected in user satisfaction: 77% of them observed a slowing down of hair loss while 81% noted an acceleration of hair growth.
Congress taking place as planned
The 67th SEPAWA CONGRESS will take place from 28 - 30 October 2020 in Berlin at the Estrel Congress Center. In addition to the standard
measures, such as disinfectants and the provision of mouth and nose protection masks,
the organisers are planning further precautions to protect the health and planning security of all participants. The Estrel Congress Center
benefits from large, open spaces, allowing the event to adhere comfortably to any possible government rules for distance
and conduct with additional space if required. State-of-the- art exhaust air systems and generous premises guarantee an optimal air exchange and fresh air supply. Personal Care will publish
further details on SEPAWA nearer the time.
Active offers more than just CBD
CBD is generating increasing interest in the world of cosmetics. This major cannabinoid, which is found in hemp, is said to have numerous health benefits (like anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, reduction of pain sensation) and also offers a diverse and very interesting spectrum of effects in the skin. Lipobelle Pino C, from
Mibelle Biochemistry, is a phyto- complex with encapsulated CBD that has been designed for cosmetic applications. CBD is encapsulated in order to improve both its formulability in

cosmetic products and its bioavailability into the skin. It is then combined with a Swiss stone pine extract which fights inflammation in a complementary way. In doing
so, this combination potentiates the anti-inflammatory and regenerating effects of cannabidiol (CBD) when topically applied. Lipobelle Pino C has been
shown to: reduce inflammation in skin cells following a strong oxidative stress; accelerate tissue regeneration after a wound; improve the skin tone by reducing the content in haemoglobin and melanin in the face; smooth the skin in different areas (cheeks – eye contour area – forehead); relax facial tension.
