News A highly purified skin tone ­mediator Sederma | Mediatone is a highly purified active ingredient designed to brighten the complexion with a tailor-made approach for ethnic skins. It provides dark skin with a global brightening effect while lighten- ing hyperpigmented spots on medium skin tone (Asian). Mediatone acts as a skin tone mediator to achieve a fairer and more even complex- ion. From the nucleus to the melanocyte environment, it acts all along the melanin pathway. It regulates the genetic pigmentation and coun- teracts the stress-induced pigmentation and melanin transfer to the keratinocytes by reducing the melanocyte dendricity. www.sederma.fr Self-emulsifying silicone fluid Wacker | Belsil PF 200 is a new phenyl silicone fluid for water- based formulations. Its high refractive index enables the formula- tion of shampoos, conditioners and hair sprays that enhance shine and gloss and produce a soft feel. It is self-emulsifying in water and readily miscible with cosmetic oils and esters, thus facilitating transparent formulations. Belsil ADM 8301 E is a silicone emul- sion specifically developed for hair treatments. In addition to lend- ing hair a natural, silky softness, and making it easy to comb, the new emulsion also helps prevent hair from losing colour and pro- tects it from heat damage caused by blow dryers. www.wacker.com The novel phenyl silicone fluid for water-based formulations has a high refractive index Organic ethanol Earthoil | The company launched an organic, fair trade (Fair For Life) alternative to petro-ethanol, which is produced sustainably from organic sugar cane at a family-owned facility in the San Anto- nio region of Brazil. Using technology designed to maintain the ecological and social harmony of the surrounding environment, the plants for the ethanol production are grown, harvested and processed according to a tightly controlled, holistic system. A cru- cial part of this approach is the elimination of crop burning prior to harvesting. By replacing this traditional - but environmentally dam- aging - step with biological pest controls, soil rotation and conser- vation techniques, the biodiversity in the region benefits and manufacturing advantages are gained. www.earthoil.com www.treatt.com Cuticle smoothing ingredient mending split ends Croda | Croda has revealed new data proven to seal split ends and provide long-lasting, consumer-perceivable repair with its cuti- cle smoothing ingredient Crodabond CSA, see page 30 f. It keeps split ends sealed through multiple shampoo washings, even when used in a rinse-off system, while delivering consumer-perceivable shine and smoothness. The ingredient adheres to lifted cuticles, cementing them down and smoothing out the hair fibre. Its high refractive index, in combination with its smoothing action, contrib- utes to shiny glossy hair. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photographs were utilised to show the long-lasting repair action of the ingredient over a number of shampoo washings. In addition, consumer testing showed the treatment resulted in hair that looked shinier, smoother and felt smoother over several washes, indicating a long-lasting effect. www.crodapersonalcare.com S So La the ics be glo mic die sen Ch ing pro imp tur ski an ha las be imp str rat die an hig bri she www Ingredients Asian skin Dark skin A tailor-made approach for ethnic skin to brighten the complexion photos:Sederma photo:Earthoil photo:WackerChemie photo:AfricaStudio,Shutterstock.com Harvesting a sugar cane-derived alternative to petro-ethanol The ingredient ad- heres to lifted cuticles, ­cementing them down and smoothing out the hair fibre T0 T3 weeks T0 T4 weeks PRODUCTION  INGREDIENTS NEWS 48 l COSSMA 11 I 2015 COS1511_48_IngreidentsNews.indd 48 27.10.15 14:55 COS1511_48_IngreidentsNews.indd 4827.10.1514:55
