Welcome to the January issue of Personal Care Global. Happy New Year! We start the year with a focus on three core topics: anti-ageing, hair care and lifestyle cosmetics. The latter topic includes an article by Kelly Dobos


of the University of Cincinnati, who sets out the principles of working with three classes of colourants - dyes, pigments and pearlescent effect pigments - that can be applied broadly to many types of cosmetic products. This is a typically informative article by Kelly, who I find to be a highly knowledgeable and engaging poster about the personal care industry on Twitter/X. Kelly is well worth a follow at @kellydobos. Elsewhere, there is an article about an


adaptogenic ingredient developed by Gattefossé. Adaptogens are an increasingly hot topic in the personal care space and I expect you will read more about them in the coming months within this publication. Once again, Personal Care Global is the media partner of the Formulation Lab at in- cosmetics Global trade show in Paris and on

page 20 there is an exclusive sneak peak at this year’s proceedings. Also in this issue, I interview DSM-Firmenich


personal care president Parand Salmassinia, who shares her amazing journey from the Middle East to become global head of one of the world’s largest personal care ingredient suppliers. Parand also sets out her aspirations in her role at the newly-merged company. Meanwhile, in the news pages, we cover the


acquisition of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant for $810 million from IFF. IFF acquired the Quebec City-based business


from Unipex Group and the sale price is over half a billion dollars more than the €283m ($305m) it paid for Lucas Meyer Cosmetics in 2015. Often when giant companies like Clariant


acquire smaller firms, the branding gets swallowed up. That would seem a shame with Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, which has a first-class reputation for quality. Speaking to Clariant global personal care vice-


president Michael Haspel at the in-cosmetics Asia trade show, he was well aware that brand value can be destroyed as well as created. I am proud to say this magazine has now


reached Volume 25. Here’s to the next 25 years! Enjoy the magazine.
