PRODUCTION NEW INGREDIENTS NEWS Ingredients Functional fillers against wrinkles Merck I Ronaflair Flawless is a new functional filler from Merck which works against wrinkles. The substance takes advantage of a visual trick: spherical particles roll into and fill out the wrinkle, dispers- ing light evenly in all directions. The interplay of light and shadow that generally highlights these imperfections is minimized to give the skin an overall even appearance. The new functional filler is composed of silica spheres coated with titanium dioxide and iron oxides. The uniform shape of the substrate and the sophisticated coating technology lead to an excellent soft focus effect. Featuring balanced transparency, it maintains the skin’s natural appearance. A pleasant skin feel provides a high comfort level when wearing the product. Its ease of use is valued in powder formulations as well as in foundations and emulsions. www.merck4cosmetics.com photo: Merck The uniform shape of the silica spheres and the coating technology lead to the required soft focus effect photo: Sergiy Kuzim, Shutterstock.com ©2014 Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. tell me more airproducts.com/takeflight Expect amazing new things from high-water formulations.

New biopolymers from the superfood garden peas Moisturisation for the skin and hair Croda I The number of body care products that draw on the “superfoods” concept has, in recent years according to Mintels GNPD data base, more than doubled. The two new biopolymers Hydrosativum P and Crodasone P come from the superfoods cate- gory and are both derived from the superfood Pisum sativum which is popular for its high protein content, unique assortment of phyto- nutrients and antioxidant properties. Both biopolymers are rich in glutamic acid, asparaginic acid, arginin and lysin, which have impor- tant properties for skin and hair. The Hydrosativum P biopolymer supplies the skin intensively with a strong moisturisation, it is anti-irritant and so is also suitable for scalp care products. It becomes anchored into various types of hair of dif- ferent ethnic origins, hydrates the hair in areas of varied air moisturi- sation and increases its flexibility to avoid hair breakage. The Croda- sone P copolymer protects the hair’s cuticles from excess heat and styling damage. Thanks to its complex polymer structure, as it dries the ingredient forms a protective and conditioning film. The results of tests and studies show that the copolymer in a spray formulation re- duces hair breakage due to heat by about 49%, and in a conditioner system by 38%. www.croda.com COS1409_28_News_GB_COS1409_28_News_GB 25.08.14 13:19 Seite 28
