NEWS DIGEST New pigment adds glamour
Merck has introduced a new effect pigment for the cosmetics industry: Ronastar Lapis Jewel. The pigment gives colour cosmetics for the eyes and nails the look and feel of this semi-precious stone. It is ideally suited for stunning eye shadows and brilliant nail polishes with intense blue sparkles achieving a certain glamour factor. Following Ronastar Golden Jewel and Ronastar Copper Jewel, the new Merck product continues
the jewel series of effect pigments for exquisite cosmetics. The pigment consists of calcium- aluminum borosilicate platelets, coated with special metal oxides and iron blue. Its sparkle in cosmetics is based on a particle size of 20 µm to 200 µm that creates innovative light reflections. Ronastar Lapis Jewel is easy to use in cosmetic formulations and meets the requirements of the European REACH regulation.
Focusing on lineless eyes
DSM Personal Care has announced the launch of its new multifunctional anti-ageing peptide complex, Syn-Eye. This innovative product further extends DSM’s Syn-Peptides product range, in response to consumers’ desire to have lineless eyes.
Eye care products are the second best- selling product form in the facial skin care market, after face care creams. According to market estimates, the eye care market has grown by 300% in the last decade driven by increased consumer demand for fast-acting, reliable eye care products.
Building on its longstanding experience in facial products designed to help maintain a youthful appearance, DSM now introduces a 4-in-1 complex for eye care. Syn-Eye combines the latest DSM Syn-Peptide technology with superior bioactives in a multifunctional product aimed at meeting the consumer’s high expectations for eye care. A clinical study carried out over 30 days on a group of 30 volunteers demonstrated fast and visible results. Within only 7 days, Syn-Eye visibly reduced the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the eye. After only 14 days, the skin around the eye contour was visibly brighter. The ingredient helped to improve skin texture,
making the delicate skin around the eye look smoother. Apart from the visible results, the clinical study has shown very high consumer acceptance in all key aspects of eye care. All ingredients contained in Syn-Eye are listed in the Inventory of Existing Cosmetic Ingredients in China (IECIC), alongside the peptides contained in Syn-Coll, Syn-Ake and Syn-Hycan peptides, indexed earlier.
Goals for sustainability
DuPont announced its 2020 Sustainability Goals as the next step in its more than 25-year commitment to sustainability. The centerpiece of the new DuPont 2020 Sustainability Goals is a company-wide commitment to embed sustainability into its innovation process and R&D pipeline.
The new 2020 goals further a progressive and comprehensive sustainability strategy at DuPont, which now also includes DuPont’s Food Security Goals, along with updated footprint goals addressing greenhouse gases, energy, water and waste that build on a longstanding focus to reduce the impacts of company operations. “We are continuing on our sustainability journey at DuPont by challenging all new products in our innovation pipeline to contribute to a safer, healthier, more sustainable planet by 2020,” said vice president, DuPont Safety, Health and Environment and Chief Sustainability Officer Linda J. Fisher. “Innovation and sustainability remain two of DuPont’s greatest strengths and represent significant growth opportunities for DuPont, while creating value for our customers, the marketplace and society,” Fisher added.
China regulation compliance achieved
Renovage now complies with the Chinese regulation for cosmetic ingredients. Renovage is a high-tech global anti-ageing ingredient from Sederma that acts on the four dimensions of skin ageing: surface, depth and time. In order to control the skin’s functional and structural ageing, Renovage ensures full activity of
catalase, a key player in genomic stability, which leads to cell lifespan extension by one third. The efficacy of Renovage was studied for six months. After the first month, results were already visible on major signs of ageing: skin sagging, age spots, redness, dryness, dilated pores and roughness.
After six months, the skin texture was dramatically improved with a reduction in the main lines by 47%, the age spots by 42% and the pore dilation by 26%. Renovage is an oil- soluble ingredient that can be incorporated in facial oils and creams to provide protection against external and internal ageing factors.
