Sabinsa’s Cococin CG is obtained from coconut (Cocos nucifera) and is standardized to contain at least 30% total carbohydrates and free amino acids. It is used in hair care formulations and in rejuvena- tive topical preparations. It is rich in proteins, amino acids, sugars, vi- tamins, minerals and growth hormones essential to promote tissue and hair growth. This natural cell-growth promoter has been evaluat- ed for its efficacy as a hair growth promoter, in comparison with Minoxidil as standard. In the study, hair follicles were seen to be trans- formed from the Telogen to the Anagen phase of hair growth showing a response to the topical application of formulations containing Cococin. www.sabinsa.com DSM has demonstrated and visualized not only noticeable skin hydration and TEWL gradients within short distances on the face but also remarkable differences between different ethnicities. DSM with the University of Limpopo in South Africa, Newtone Technologies in France, and AVR Consulting in the UK, have generated detailed hydra- tion and TEWL mapping of the faces of Chinese, Caucasian, Indian and Black African subjects. A special algorithm was developed to au- tomatically detect skin pixels and interpolate a measured value for each of the subjects after superimposing the various bio-instrumen- tal data on the images. As a result, full continuous facial skin hydra- tion and TEWL colour maps are now available for the first time. www.dsm.com With an ever-changing regulatory landscape, Earthoil, the person- al care and cosmetics ingredients division of Treatt, uses cutting-edge methods of distillation to produce low-allergen ingredients, such as low methyl eugenol rose oil and low furanocoumarin grapefruit oil. Removing allergens adds proven benefits to personal care appli- cations. In order to achieve the coveted low-allergen positioning, an additional step is implemented into the production process, which focuses on removing allergens that naturally occur in several widely used essential oils. This physical process leaves the product’s organ- ic or fair trade status uncompromised. www.earthoil.com Lipotec’s Nocturshape which, especially active at night time, is directed at providing anti-cellulite benefit with results in only 15 days. It targets the expression of the circadian protein nocturnin in adipocytes, which peaks at early night. By reducing its levels, it does the lipid accumulation. Moreover, fat reduction was shown to be more effective with this active ingredient than with caffeine.
