Fragrances in focus at SEPAWA Congress
The annual SEPAWA Congress is one of the key dates in the calendar for operators in the detergents/cleansers, cosmetics and perfumery industries in Europe. The lecture programme for the 2018 Congress, taking place from 10-12 October in Berlin, will cover a number of different topics in these sectors. With a total of 150 oral and poster presentations, all delegates have the opportunity to receive a comprehensive overview over the developments, innovations and new technologies in the formulation of Home and Personal Care products. On the exhibition floor, over 260 companies display their ingredients and services. Visitors can discuss raw materials and formulation techniques, connect with their suppliers and find new business partners.
A special focus at this year`s
SEPAWA Congress will be on fragrances. In the session ‘Fragrances: Science, Regulation and Market’, how the reception of fragrances can influence our senses and even our health will be investigated. As a special feature and with the assistance of the HTW School Berlin, a Fragrance Fashion Show will take place showcasing the collection of fragrances specially created for this event on the evening of Wednesday 11 October 2018. SEPAWA will present three innovation awards in October. These awards are intended to encourage companies from the detergents/cleansers, cosmetics and perfumery industries to develop innovations, implement them and make them accessible to consumers. The awards are
designed to give an impetus to active management of ideas in companies. The Award Ceremony will take place on Thursday 11 October 2018 from 19:00 hrs during the After Events in Convention Hall I. Take a break from two exhausting days at the congress and enjoy some extraordinary food and a bit of entertainment at SEPAWA’s popular After Event. The organisers will have
treated your nose to a Fragrance Fashion Show at the Get-Together, now is the time to embark on an exceptional culinary delight. After an official opening and award ceremony for the SEPAWA Innovation Award, the Estrel’s head chef Peter Griebel and his team will be presenting culinary treats from around the world.
Minerals optimised for colour cosmetics
Based on high purity calcium carbonate, newly launched and Natrue-certified Omyaskin minerals, from Omya, comply with the most stringent regulatory and quality standards. Thanks to a sophisticated and patented technique, the tailor-made particle composition of calcium carbonate and hydroxyapatite offers high porosity and large surface areas. The outer layer forms a lamellar structure, while the core consists of a network of interconnected pores. This enables Omyaskin to improve the effectiveness of end products and additionally ease the production process. The minerals absorb oil and water so that cosmetic applications feel less greasy, while maintaining hydration. Moreover, the ingredient is an

efficient mattifying agent and it reduces drying time. Creamy products benefit from
better spreadability because their texture is smoother, while compact powder products are enhanced because Omyaskin has compressibility comparable to kaolin, magnesium carbonate and talc. It also offers superior
white pigment quality, which supports the coverage of decorative applications. Just ten per cent added to a formula optimises opacity by up to 42 per cent. Omyaskin can also be combined with TiO2
for even higher
performance in terms of coverage.
In response to the need for evaluating beneficial compounds and formulations, Straticell developed a panel of 3D in vitro human reconstructed epidermis (RHE) models that efficiently reproduce sensitive skin features and the associated morphological and functional aspects of a disrupted epidermal barrier associated with such inflammatory environments. The models are fully characterised through functional and gene expression assays. Straticell has identified key biomarkers involved not only in epidermal differentiation and inflammatory response of the keratinocytes, but also in other cellular processes and functions associated with lipid homeostasis and itching. Newly identified biomarkers were validated by qPCR and used to design specific TaqMan Low Density Arrays (TLDA) to study in a more targeted approach the expression of 96 genes involved in barrier resilience towards Th2 or Th17 stimulation. The relevance of both the Th2 and Th17 RHE models to screen for beneficial effects of test compounds has been confirmed by assessing tissue response after treatment with different benchmarks selected for their known properties to recover the epidermal barrier, targeting lipid metabolism, keratinocyte differentiation and inflammation. Straticell’s data should encourage dermo therapeutic and cosmetic research to use standardised and reproducible RHE models to assess new candidate compounds targeting sensitive skin and inflammation-dependent barrier defects.
