Inspired by the Aurora Lights
Croda has unveiled four effect pigments to its existing Ultra Effect series, as part of the Moonshine Effect Pigment product range. Launched in 2018, Croda’s
range of quality borosilicate- based Moonshine Effect Pigments have already proven to provide unique and innovative effects with significant vibrancy, intensity and colour transmission to ensure eye catching results in all types of cosmetic formulations. These four new Ultra Effect
pigments are based on a range of inorganic colourants and are available in an Ultra Shimmer particle size, which is the smallest particle size in the range giving an impressive twinkling effect. It provides greater vibrancy and enhanced chroma to the perceived colour which gives a bold colour immediately in the pigments. Inspired by nature’s Aurora
Lights, these Ultra Effect pigments in Amethyst Purple, Deep Turquoise, Emerald Green and Pebble Grey, are
ideal for creating a twinkling display of shimmering colour cosmetics, that push the boundaries and embrace the trend for trying new experiences. They are also exempt from any animal derived material. Croda has also created four
striking colour cosmetic formulations in the form of three satin pressed eyeshadows and a shimmer eyeliner, to showcase these new Ultra Effect pigments, and help recreate the natural wonder of the Aurora Borealis.

Boosting antimicrobial efficacy and more
The recent pandemic has refocused the world’s attention on antimicrobials. With increasing use of hand sanitisers, the prevalence of dry, irritated hands is a real issue. sensiva SC 50, from schülke, not only boosts the antimicrobial efficacy, it also helps to improve the moisturisation of the skin after use. In vitro tests show a selective
activity on odour causing Gram- positive bacteria. sensiva SC 50 can be used as a deodorant active and it has minimal effect on the microbiome compared to
triclosan, which indiscriminately eliminated all microorganisms. Studies also show that
combining sensiva SC 50 with alcohols and glycols prove a true synergy, boosting preservative and antimicrobial efficacy in finished formulations. As a medium-spreading emollient, ethylhexylglycerin is able to improve the skin-feel of personal care formulations. sensiva SC 50 in combination with glycerin can produce a formulation that feels less tacky and greasy, with improved penetration and lower soaping.
Research papers recognised by SCC
Two BASF scientists were recognised by the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) for the scientific impact of their research papers. Juan Brito, application chemist III, Skin Care and Sun Care at BASF Care Chemicals, North America, received the Society of Cosmetic Chemists Award for his paper entitled ‘Formulating with Zinc Oxide.’ The jury highlighted the paper for the greatest scientific contribution to knowledge in the field of protecting against or ameliorating damage to human skin caused by exposure to UV radiation.
www.personalcaremagazine.com The SCC awarded Philip Ludwig,
technical account manager for Personal Care Actives at BASF Care Chemicals, North America, for his publication entitled, ‘Quorum Quenching: The New Way to Keep Microbiome Under Control.’ The paper presented a promising strategy to protect the skin against opportunistic pathogens and to soothe and reinforce aggressed and sensitive skin. The scientists were recognised
for their research papers during the SCC’s 74th Annual Scientific Meeting & Showcase in December 2020.

Simplifying sun care with innovative solution
Symrise is simplifying the development and manufacture of sunscreen products with its new ingredient. With its combination of UVA and UVB filters, Neo Heliopan Flat offers broad spectrum protection from ultraviolet radiation.
This enables the manufacture
of sunscreen products, such as lotions, creams, sprays and oils with sun protection factors (SPF) from 6 to 50+ without the need to add additional UV filters on top. This helps cosmetics manufacturers because they can use fewer raw materials and accelerate the development and production of sunscreen products. The substance is also suitable
for cold production processes. This saves energy and benefits the environment. Currently, sunscreen products with sun protection factors over 30 are particularly sought-after by consumers. Until now, production was complicated by the fact that cosmetics manufacturers had to combine
several UVA and UVB filters to achieve the desired SPF (Sun Protection Factor). With Neo Heliopan Flat,
Symrise now offers a blend of carefully selected UV filters that uniformly absorb solar radiation ranging from 300 to 360nm and therefore provide optimal protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. This makes additional UV filters unnecessary and simplifies the development and manufacture of sunscreen products with high sun protection factors. “Manufacturing sunscreen
products is considerably easier with Neo Heliopan Flat,” said Simone Peters, senior global product manager Sun Protection at Symrise. “Thanks to our innovative solution, cosmetics manufacturers can save time and resources and, at the same time, achieve the highest effectiveness.”
