Nelson from Akzo Nobel present interesting concepts for non-aerosol styling sprays (on page 40 ff.) and Andrea Tomlinson from BASF shows what styling formulations have to offer to meet the hair care requirements from dif- ferent consumer archetypes (on page 44 ff.). From a marketing perspective, creating products with an- ti-pollution and detox effects is gaining in importance – not only in Asia. If you want to find out what hair care ingredi- ents might be helpful to serve these marketing claims, our article from Angela Kleiner from Croda and Sederma will provide some stimulating ideas (on page 16 ff.). If, on the other hand, packaging is a topic that falls more into your field of expertise, our packaging market survey will be useful. The newly updated survey lists at a glance which supplier offers what packaging components or ser- vices and will also show you each company’s most impor- tant product group or service. You will find this practical guide on page 32 ff. Hoping that you enjoy these topics as well as the rest of the wide variety of information we have compiled in this ­issue. Sincerely yours, Angelika Meiss Senior editor, COSSMA The focus of this issue is cosmeceuticals. Yes, we are aware of the fact that this term in the past has been much debated. Webster’s dictionary defines it as fol- lows: “a cosmetic preparation that has pharmaceutical properties”. It was the dermatologist Albert Kligman who in 1984 coined the term which combines cosmet- ics and pharmaceuticals. He defined cosmeceuticals as “a topical preparation that is sold as a cosmetic but has performance characteristics that suggest pharma- ceutical action.” The idea was that cosmeceuticals should promise more of an effect than normal cosmet- ics products, but due to their entirely cosmetic purpose not be marketed as pharmaceuticals. But even though this explanation might seem plau­ sible from a marketing point of view, the industry ex- perts as well as legal bodies came to the conclusion that there is no need for introducing cosmeceuticals as an in-between substance class, maintaining that a new substance class would tremendously compli- cate rather than simplify this situation. Prof Dr Karl Linter from Kal’Idées shows the complexity of the ­issue on page 10 f. Another legal issue in this magazine is ISO 17516 – a new standard for microbiological limits in cosmetics. Noelle Nussbaum from BAV Institut explains its main characteristics as well as the main differences in com- parison to the previous limits on page 46 f.. For people busy working on new product concepts for 2016 and beyond, our event reports on In-Cosmet- ics Asia (on page 26 ff.) and the SCS Formulate (on page 30 ff.) describing the latest ingredient launches might prove a useful source of inspiration. The topic of hair styling in this issue is taken up from different perspectives.
