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

AZELIS
STAND N20
Anti-pollution beauty products will be Azelis’

hydration, and act as an antidote to pollution,
stress and fatigue.

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

Mauritius enable Dermscan to offer
manufacturers studies in sunny environments.
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

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

ultra-sensitive skin; prevents IR-ageing by
protecting from infrared-induced heat stress;
and improves the skin’s tolerance towards
irritants in cosmetic formulations.
SEDERMA
STAND KK40
