Published: 3-Apr-2017

This year’s in-cosmetics Global, the world’s largest cosmetics ingredients-based trade event, is being held in SPC’s hometown, London, UK, from 4-6 April at the ExCeL venue. In this article, SPC brings you a synopsis of some of the new features, and novel ingredients and services being offered at the eventt


This year’s in-cosmetics Global exhibition is moving from its usual continental European location to take place in London, UK.

Attendees can expect a host of new concepts and features from the event, which runs from 4-6 April at ExCeL, including a Make-up Bar, sponsored by BASF, which will let visitors try new formulations in the eye, facial, lip and nail make-up segments.

Also new is Sustainability Corner; this will display a selection of environmental and social initiatives to highlight how the industry is moving beyond mere compliance to a more fundamentally sustainable model.

Key topics to be discussed in this year’s seminar programme include digital beauty, Brexit, sustainability and halal beauty. And returning features include the Innovation Zone, the Formulation Lab and the Sensory Bar.

Additionally, the show will bring together 800 exhibitors under one roof. In anticipation of in-cosmetics Global 2017, SPC asked exhibitors what they would be focusing on:

AAK
STAND F20
AAK will demonstrate the suitability of its Lipex L’sens and Lipex SheaLight in products for naturally-textured hair. Lipex L’sens is a highly polar, semi-solid emollient that provides body to both hair and formulations, while Lipex SheaLight is a high-spreading, low-viscosity emollient ester, suitable for cold processing, sprayable and clear styling formulations.

ACTIVE CONCEPTS
STAND NN10
Active Concepts is presenting ProCutiGen Vegan Thermal Shield. It prevents the thermally-induced damage that breaks the cysteine bridges of the hair, making it porous, weakened and prone to breakage. Rather than focusing on repairing broken bonds, ProCutiGen Vegan Thermal Shield creates a de novo cuticle on the hair to stop damage happening in the first place.

AJINOMOTO
STAND F20
Ajinomoto will launch new additions to its aminobeauty family of products: Ajidew N, a series of natural amino acid-derived humectants; Amihope OL, an amino acid-derived texture modifier and functional ingredient; and Amisoft ECS-22W (glutamic acid-derived) and Amilite GCK-12H (glycine-derived) anionic surfactants with excellent foaming and moisturising properties for sulfate-free cleansing systems.


ALCHEMY INGREDIENTS
STAND JJ71
Alchemy Ingredients will showcase its Sucragel gel-to-milk technology, which is currently being buoyed up by Asian trends and ‘low surfactant’ formulations. It will additionally be bringing a new natural, formulator-led emulsifier system to in-cosmetics Global. Alchemy is represented in the UK by Alfa Chemicals.

BASF
STAND HH30
In London in April, BASF will present two new actives. Oligolin is a 100% natural hydrolysed linseed extract, which acts as an anti-ageing ingredient in skin care products. In vitro, Oligolin stimulates epidermis thickness, tones up the dermal epidermal junction and re-densifies the dermis. In vivo, it visibly contributs to a healthier skin and significantly improves skin hydration and firmness. Collalift 18, meanwhile, comes from the bark of African mahogany (Khaya senegalensis) and has been developed to improve skin’s elasticity and visibly reduce pores, lines and wrinkles.

BITOP
STAND SS72
28Extremoin from Bitop is a natural and multifunctional ‘urban protection’ ingredient. A blend of two stress-protection molecules, ectoin and hydroxyectoin, it acts before damage occurs, safeguarding skin’s cells from pollution-induced damage and ROS formation.

DR. STRAETMANS
STAND N60
dermosoft decalact sebum is the new solution for oily and blemish-prone skin from Dr. Straetmans. It is a mild, active-ingredient blend that tackles multiple skin imperfections simultaneously. An in vivo study proves a reduction in the excessive production of sebum, which leads to a decrease of enlarged and clogged pores.

DSM
STAND K40
DSM is launching several new products at this year’s show. There are two new broad spectrum ingredients in its Parsol line. Parsol Shield boosts UVB and UVA protection across the full range of application forms at low concentrations, while Parsol Max II continues protection into the blue light spectrum.

STAND F50
Mibelle Biochemistry will promote two new actives. The first, InfraGuard, tackles the effects of infrared, specifically IRA, on the dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue, while the second, SensAmone P5, is a novel neurocosmetic ingredient. Sensitive skin is characterised by overactivity of the TRPV1 receptor, leading to stinging and itching. A protein in the venom of sea anemones acts as an inhibitor of this receptor, but is too large to penetrate the skin. Mibelle has developed a five amino acid peptide that is composed of just the TRPV1 inhibitor sequence of this protein.

MICRO POWDERS

NAGASE
STAND BB38
New from Nagase is Extremosio, a novel active that reverses the ageing process within skin cells.

NAOLYS
STAND CC11
New from Naolys is LightWaves Defense [JS+M], a new plant cell complex made from native cells of Indian jasmine (Jasminum sambac), containing not only its own active molecules but also γ-mangosteen (a natural molecule extracted from mangosteen) to fight damages induced by three types of solar rays.

SILAB
STAND FF20
