19 Pluralibacter gergoviae: the bacterium that learns
Barbara Olioso, also known as The Green Chemist discusses Pluralibacter gergoviae, which has been the subject of several recent product recalls, including some household brands. Olioso sets out a number of key lessons for formulators arising from the recalls
25 Redefining anti-ageing for the menopausal consumer
Innosya explores the efficacy of its new active ingredient - produced through precision fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a food-grade yeast strain - designed to restore cellular glutathione pools and to prevent lipid peroxidation related to ferroptosis in menopausal skin
31 Fatty acid furans: platform for structure, sensory performance
The challenge for many formulators is no longer simply replacing conventional ingredients with renewable alternatives but identifying new molecular architectures that enable formulations that are not previously achievable with traditional chemistries. Among the emerging classes of renewable specialty ingredients are fatty acid furans, as Sironix Renewables explains
39 How ascorbic acid derivatives overcome stability challenges
Seiwa Kasei describes a groundbreaking new ascorbic acid derivative that effectively addresses the key challenges of stability and formulation associated with ascorbic acid and its derivatives
45 How solid bars are redefining personal care
Solid shampoo and conditioner bars have rapidly moved from niche shelves to mainstream beauty conversations. Yet as solid bars gain in popularity, misconceptions related to performance from their earliest iterations continue to linger. Bradford Labs debunks some of the myths
49 Novel senopreventive peptide for skin ageing

56 Integrating cosmetic actives into fragrance concentrate
Expressions Parfumées describes a study to develop a cosmetic active that could be integrated directly into a fragrance concentrate while preserving (i) olfactory integrity, (ii) physical stability and compatibility across diverse perfume architectures, and (iii) measurable biological activity at low use levels typical of fragranced cosmetics
61 Upcycled coffee oil: circular beauty in action
Spent coffee grounds are an abundant by-product and a valuable source of cosmetic-grade coffee oil rich in linoleic acid, diterpenes, tocopherols and phytosterols. Caffe Inc. presents the efficacy of coffee oil as an anti-ageing cosmetic active and its sustainability profile
67 The remarkable power ofHaberlea rhodopensis
Innova BM highlights the important role of plant- derived bioactive substances and extracellular vesicles (EVs) in maintaining cellular balance, supporting tissue repair and alleviating age-associated structural and functional changes, and explores the effects of its patented biotech Haberlea rhodopensis in vitro culture extracts
73 Combining adenosine and silicium for scalp and hair care
The evolving paradigm of skinification in hair care recognizes the scalp as a dynamic and hormonally responsive tissue, which balance directly influences hair follicle homeostasis and hair fibre quality. Exsymol highlights the dual activity of a novel silicium– adenosine complex capable of modulating sebum production while promoting hair growth in a minoxidil- like effect
79 Integrating recombinant PDRN and humanized elastin
Uniproma discussing the limitations of animal-derived PDRN and conventional elastin materials, the technical advantages of recombinant production, and formulation-relevant performance data including safety, collagen stimulation, anti-inflammatory effects, hydration, wrinkle reduction, firmness improvement and broad formulation stability
