Welcome to the January issue of Personal Care Global – happy new year! In this edition, there is


an interview Dr Katerina Steventon, a UK-based Czech skin care scientist, consultant, practitioner and brand owner.


Katerina believes strongly that skin care


contributes to a person’s sense of wellbeing - whether that is a mental perception or a physical reaction – and the future of skin care is a closer relationship with health care. This message was echoed at the recent 8th


Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference in London, of which Katerina is the programme director. Delegates heard consumers may want skin

science & technology at Unilever beauty & personal care, meanwhile said skin care products could evolve to be preventative rather than restorative, much like UV sun care protection.


These technologies, which might be anti-


oxidants and anti-inflammatories, could fall under a general ‘cell energy’ category of products designed to intervene at the molecular level to prevent skin damage. Tucker-Samaras also sees a rising trend for


“beauty from within” supplements. “What you put in your mouth has a really big effect on your skin, whether that’s through diet or supplementation. It seems like consumers may more ready to accept this than a decade ago,” she added. Proctor & Gamble principle scientist Dr John


Oblong meanwhile spoke of a mindshift in the general anti-ageing research community where quality of later life is increasingly seen as, or more, important as simple length of life. Skin care products could therefore be


designed to tap into this “health span” trend, he added. “We’re seeing a tremendous shift of


technology identification in that space. Could that make its way to the skin care research field? Potentially and there’s some work that’s already being work done…that could be an interesting new frontier.” Whatever the future may hold, it is clear


the largest personal care finished product companies in the world are looking closely at filling the gaps between cosmetics, wellbeing and overall health. Enjoy the magazine.
