Sustainable developments | No matter what business you look at, our resources are limited. Of course, this also applies to the packaging area in the cosmetics industry. With plastic packaging in particular, the question of resource-saving techniques and processes therefore plays a major role. Dr Matthias Prox talks about current developments.
Plastics | Recycled materials are playing an increasingly important role for brands and customers alike. Paolo Glerean talks about the possibilities of recycling plastic for the cosmetics industry.
Material | The pressure from consumers but also from politics is increasing: cosmetics brands must find ways to make their plastic packaging more sustainable. But changing virgin material to recycled raw materials poses challenges. Özlem Ece Tugal and Jakob Settele talk about their experiences and development results.
Survey | The coronavirus pandemic has driven digitalisation forward. Formulators can count on ever more extensive digital support from raw material suppliers. Existing tools and their functions were expanded. A short survey shows a few examples of how the market is currently developing.
Fermentation | Preservatives help extend shelf life. As consumers increasingly demand natural ingredients, new solutions are needed. Anna Crovetto presents a new way of containing the proliferation of bacteria and fungi in headspace.
Personal hygiene | Body odour is unpleasant, and most people try to prevent it with the help of antiperspirants. Functionalised calcium carbonate has the potential to become a natural alternative to the commonly used aluminium salts. Julia Ivanov reports on promising study results.
Moisture source | Mosses have great potential as cosmetic ingredients. Especially with aloe- moss, it has been shown that it cannot only increase the moisture content in the skin but also has a positive influence on its distribution.
Invaders | To ensure consumer safety and the shelf life of cosmetics, product purity is essential. But despite great care, bacteria, yeast, and mould can get into the products. Dr Bernhard Fellenberg explains which are the most common in cosmetics and what a contamination can cause.
Market | There has been an increasing demand for products that promise to keep the skin microbiome healthy and regenerate. Accordingly, a lot of energy is invested in the development of new products. Sreedevi Kakkad gives an overview of the current developments on the market.
Solid forms | The trend towards solid forms for cosmetic and personal care products is gaining momentum. Combining these formulations with skin microbiome-friendly formulations poses a particular challenge for the development of new products. Dr Nora Schiemann explains the role that beads can play in this.
Ratio of bacteria | The microbiota of the skin is a unique ecosystem for everyone, whose role in metabolic, immunological, and neurological functions is now well established. Petra Schlegel knows what effects an imbalance in bacteria can have on the health of the skin, and how the balance can be restored.
