Taiyo Kagaku responds to diversifying sun care needs

 Taiyo Kagaku is making comprehensive proposals to meet diversifying needs for functions and dosage forms for sun care.  Sunsoft No.818SK-C is a polyglyester with excellent W/O emulsifying power and powder dispersibility, and has a natural origin index of 1, making it suitable for natural sunscreen formulations. Furthermore, by using it together with a specific polyglyester owned by the company, it is possible to design a formulation that has excellent viscosity stability while maintaining low viscosity.  In sun care products, restrictions on the use of silicone are progressing, mainly overseas, from the perspective of environmental friendliness and safety. Therefore, silicone-free formulations are focused on materials and technologies that enhance UV protection and contribute to the realization of good usability and stability.

Kao confirms that it is difficult to feel irritation by suppressing the adhesion of fine particles to the skin

 By suppressing the adhesion of fine particles such as dust and pollen to the skin, Kao raises the 5Hz current perception threshold for skin that is sensitive to things coming into contact with the skin, making it less likely to cause irritation. confirmed to be The results of this research were announced at the 5th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Photodermatology. Invisible fine particles such as dust and pollen float in the air, and the effects of these fine particles on the skin can make the skin look dull and cause problems such as rough skin. . In particular, it has been reported that skin with a weakened barrier function becomes prone to itchiness when air pollutants adhere to the skin. In addition, a survey conducted in Japan, China, and Thailand on people with sensitive skin revealed that pollen and air pollution are also considered to be factors that make the skin sensitive. The company has developed a technology that suppresses the adhesion of fine particles to the

Yamagata Gravure Proposes Environmentally Friendly Refill Container Inner Lid Film

 Yamagata Gravure is proposing eco-friendly and sustainable specifications for the easy-peel inner lid film for cream product refill containers. In addition to the composition of recycled polyester film for the new film, biomass-type printing ink and laminating adhesive are also used, and we are actively approaching users who are considering environmentally friendly packaging materials. In addition, we are proposing aluminum vapor deposition film as an alternative, which is lighter than the aluminum foil used as an intermediate material for the conventional inner lid film and has a beautiful welding finish. We also make proposals. The inner lid film is mainly used by being welded to the container mouth of the refill inner case for the purpose of maintaining the quality of the contents, reducing the volume, and preventing tampering. At present, jars of the type in which the inner case is fitted into the outer case are recognized as eco-containers, and the number of manufacturers adoptin

Dendrobium extract is promising as a cosmetic material

 Dendrobium, an orchid family plant widely distributed in Thailand and Laos, is used in both traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for health promotion and anti-aging. The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemical composition and biological efficacy of stems, leaves and flowers of D. sulcatum for cosmetic and cosmeceutical applications. Phenolic chemicals such as flavonoids in D. sulcatum phytochemically, and antioxidant, antilipid peroxidation, antiglycation, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tyrosinase biology using DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS assays Academic usability was evaluated. The results showed that the phenol content was higher in the stem and leaves than in the flowers, and the leaf extract showed the highest flavonoid content. Similarly, the antioxidant, antilipid peroxidation, and anti-inflammatory activities of the extracts were also higher in stems and leaves, with leaf extracts exhibiting the greatest anti-glycation properties. Anti-tyrosinase assay of the extract

"LIMEX Pellet", which uses limestone as the main raw material, is adopted for cosmetics containers developed by KENDO, a subsidiary of LVMH.

 “LIMEX Pellet” made from TBM Co., Ltd., whose main raw material is limestone, has been adopted for “Ole Henriksen” cosmetic containers sold by LVMH affiliated beauty company “KENDO”. It is said that 12 billion cosmetic containers are discarded annually worldwide, most of which are not recycled. By using LIMEX Pellet, which contains more than 50% of inorganic substances such as calcium carbonate, in conventional plastic products, we can expect to reduce the amount of petroleum-derived plastics used and greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, throughout the product life cycle. LIMEX Pellet can be used as an alternative material for ABS and polypropylene, which are petroleum-derived plastics used in many cosmetic containers, and can be processed with existing molding machines. In addition, LIMEX is material recyclable, just like products designed with a single material. To date, many efforts have been made to recycle LIMEX products in collaboration with businesses, consumers, and local

Athenia discovers that 'sirtuin 3' is involved in melanin production

 ATTENIR has been conducting research on blemishes, which is one of the top skin troubles for adults, and found that the longevity gene Sirtuin 3 (localized in mitochondria that produces cellular energy and By focusing on the longevity gene that has the function of removing active oxygen generated during production, it was discovered that when "sirtuin 3" accumulated damage in the past and decreased, it produced excessive melanin. It was found that skin with a lot of melanin has less melanin and has a sense of transparency. This suggests that increasing the amount of "sirtuin 3" may be an approach to suppress the occurrence of new spots on adult skin. In addition, we discovered that the unique functional ingredient "Sirtulyzer S3" derived from bilberry leaves has the effect of increasing "Sirtuin 3". The research results will be widely applied to skin care products in the future.
