Healthy scalp for beautiful hair
Lubrizol Life Science Beauty (LLS Beauty) has launched its first active ingredient for hair, leveraging Lipotec Active Ingredients expertise to deliver a new solution for scalp care. Seascalp biomarine ingredient is proven to minimise the accumulation of sebaceous lipids and strengthen the skin barrier function for a healthy scalp with less itchiness, greasiness and inflammation. Beautiful hair begins at the scalp, but when it gets out of balance, producing high levels of sebum and triggering skin inflammation and barrier dysfunction, people are more prone to experience scalp discomfort.
Seascalp biomarine
ingredient is a biotechnological solution ideal for a daily hair care routine to soothe the scalp and minimise the presence of flakes while preventing its reappearance.
“Our team at LLS Beauty is continuously looking for new ways to help consumers live a more beautiful, healthier life and we’re excited to now be able to offer our first active ingredient that targets the scalp, where healthy hair begins,” said Elena Cañadas, global marketing director, LLS Beauty.
Research has shown the
efficacy of the leave-on formulation. In an in vivo study, a group of men and women with dandruff applied either a serum with 3% Seascalp biomarine ingredient or a placebo serum once every two days for 28 days. At the end of the study, the visible presence of flakes was reduced 40.5%, greasiness was minimised by 26.7% and participants reported enhanced scalp comfort.
Sustainability efforts recognised
AAK received a 2019 Sustainable Beauty Award and was named winner in the Sustainability Pioneer Category for the social impact of its Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing programme in West Africa. The award was presented to Lisette Townsend, global business development manager, and Laura Schlebes, sustainable multi oil manager, at a reception hosted by the organisers, Ecovia

undertaking ethical sourcing long before it became fashionable in the personal

care industry,” said Amarjit Sahota, founder and President of Ecovia
Intelligence. “AAK Personal Care is a deserved winner of the Sustainability Pioneer Award because of the positive impact of its Kolo Nafaso programme, which is providing income to over 230,000 women shea collectors in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Ivory Coast.” The AAK Kolo Nafaso
direct sourcing programme provides the women shea collectors engaged in the programme with access to pre-financing, training and logistical support.
Hybrid makeup with results
According to recent findings from The NPD Group’s 2018 Makeup In-Depth Consumer Report, nearly all US women using makeup, or 90 percent, reported using makeup with skin care benefits. Majestem Drypure from
Sederma brings anti-ageing and protecting benefits to makeup, as this powder version of Majestem is an eco- designed, pure lyophilised plant cell culture extract,
without excipient, and is easily dispersible in powder makeup or powder format skin care. Effective right from the first application, Majestem Drypure, incorporated into a loose powder, has been demonstrated in vivo to provide immediate protection against oxidation. In the longer term, it improves the quality of the skin and reduces lines while protecting against pollution damage.
