Formulations for textured hair
Clariant’s The Curl Project goes root to tip in targeting textured hair with the moisture and specific care curls crave to be their natural best. This new regimen of inspirational care formulations puts consumer needs for frizz control, manageability and repair top of the attention agenda, and is proven to deliver results. “Whether you have a head full
of tight curls, loose waves, spirals, zig-zags, coils or a mix, it’s often a challenge to access the very specific care that different types of textured hair require. Thankfully, times are changing and brands are starting to bring these hair care needs mainstream. Currently, there are only a few ingredients available that can really perform the demanding job, not making it easy for brands to create formulations that consumers will believe in,” said Lynna Pili, segment marketing manager, Personal Care – North America. The Curl Project introduced by
Clariant North America aims to fill the gaps to take textured hair care to

the next level, providing inspiration in the form of six market-relevant formulations. These formulations prioritise sustainability and efficacy potential and equip formulators with market data, claims studies and format ideas centred on a variety of natural active and functional ingredients. The resulting six innovative formulations are both creative in their inception and are also substantiated on study-critical hair tress curl types 3, 4, and 5 (standard, loose to S type, etc.)

First CBD producer in Italy
Indena has been authorised by the Italian Ministry of Health and Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) to produce cannabinoid-based cannabis extracts. Indena will produce pharmaceutical grade cannabidiol (CBD) for the global market for clinical and commercial use. Indena is the first company

in Italy to receive authorisation from the Ministry of Health to manufacture cannabinoid- based cannabis extracts. The approval process continued and Indena has also received authorisation from the AIFA, making it one of the few companies in the world able to
produce cannabidiol (CBD) for the pharmaceutical market. CBD is an active ingredient obtained by extraction and isolation from the inflorescences and aerial parts of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). Indena uses registered
varieties of hemp with a THC level of less than 0.2% in accordance with European standards. It also guarantees a residual THC content of less than 0.02%, well below the limits defined by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and by DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). This approach enabled Indena to promptly submit the DMF (Drug Master File) for this product to the FDA.

Maskne solutions supported by testing
With the increasing “Maskne” phenomenon and the requirement of anti-acne solutions, StratiCELL has decided to expand its range of in vitro testing related to Cutibacterium acnes. The in vitro testing provider opened last year its MicroBIOS Platform where its 3D skin models are colonised with living cutaneous strains such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. aureus and Cutibacterium acnes. To support its customers in defining anti-acneic properties, StratiCELL offers a double complementary testing approach: define the impact of cosmetic actives on the bacterial growth on one hand, and on the response of the epidermis to this inflammatory
context on the other hand. Colonisation by generates an inflammatory reaction which can be characterised in particular by an increase in interleukins and other pro-inflammatory molecules such as COX-2, TNF-alpha, or the defensin HBD-2. The ability of an active ingredient to reduce this inflammatory status can therefore be objectively assessed by monitoring expression of these key biomarkers, at the gene level and at the protein level. Generated data could clearly support the introduction of innovative actives fighting the C. acnes inflammatory threat on the dermo-cosmetic market.
