WHY IN-COSMETICS GLOBAL IS THE EVENT THE INDUSTRY GOES TO FOR INNOVATION AND INSPIRATION One of the main reasons why in-cosmetics Global continues to grow in popularity throughout the workd is because of the specific problem-solving discussions you can hold face-to-face with ingredient suppliers from all over the world.

International Cosmetics News | April 2017

A PLATFORM FOR LEARNING AND INNOVATION… Education was fi st introduced at in-cosmetics in 1995 with the launch of the Technical Seminars. Originally called ‘Exhibitor Seminars’ and more recently ‘Innovation Seminars’, these have proved hugely popular.

The first Marketing Trends presentations were launched at the start of the new millennium when the show took place in Barcelona. This was followed quickly by what is now the most popular area of any in-cosmetics shows, the Innovation Zone.

Designed with time-poor and inquisitive visitors in mind, this area helps visitors fi d all the latest products in one place.

Today, the zone attracts up to 75% of visitors to discover brand new, innovative personal care ingredients.

and consumer insights for formulators, R&D and regulatory professionals.

With over 450,000 unique web users, 33,000 social media followers and 75,000 e-newsletter subscribers, in-cosmetics also delivers a multichannel platform for the industry with access to expert presentations, webinars, reports, whitepapers, interviews and blogs.

THE BEGINNING… The in-cosmetics story begins in 1990 with the launch of the fi st exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham, England.

That year 80 exhibitors and 900 visitors met to discuss and discover personal care ingredients, laying the foundations for everything that has happened since.

THE GROUP'S SECOND SHOW IS LAUNCHED… 2008 saw the Group's first foray into Asia with in-cosmetics Asia staged in Bangkok. 2017 will mark the event's 10th anniversary and during that time in-cosmetics Asia has fi mly established itself as the leading Asia Pacific event for personal care ingredients.

Over the next few years, as both events grew in popularity and size, the original European show passed the benchmark for large scale trade exhibitions, surpassing 10,000m2 of fl or space. With original expectations exceeded, we took the opportunity to honour excellence within the industry.

In 2011, in-cosmetics held its fi st awards recognising lifetime achievements during the Innovation Zone Best ingredients Awards Ceremony.

The 700 exhibitors at the show are truly international, hailing from 46 countries across the globe in 2016

NORTH AMERICA 05% SOUTH AMERICA 02% REST OF THE WORLD 02%

ASIA 10%

EUROPE 81%

Now in its 27th edition, in-cosmetics's flagship event has gone from strength to strength and has in recent years re-branded to refl ct its Global appeal.

International Cosmetics News | April 2017

VISION • Connect personal care industry suppliers with cosmetic manufacturers from over 120 countries • Drive new product development, enabling manufacturers to source the newest products on the market • Showcase the latest personal care innovations and formulation technologies • Anticipate future market changes, revealing the latest customer and market insights • Provide global forums for personal care industry professionals to network with key decision-makers • Deliver unrivalled education to create a business-focused learning experience

EXPO

BECOMING A ONE-STOP-SHOP… In 2013 they added further show zones to appeal to new audiences and meet the growing needs of the industry. First

came the introduction of the ‘Fragrance in Cosmetics’ zone and then the ‘Testing and Regulation’ zone launched to respond to the increasing need to understand the complexity of regulation and necessity for compliance.

In 2017, in-cosmetics Global returns to London with 800 of the world’s leading suppliers showcasing their personal care ingredients and innovative technologies.

The event welcomes 95% of the world's leading suppliers such as BASF, Dow, Croda, Ashland, Solvay, Evonik and many more.

GLOBAL EXPANSION…

Th s zone has multiplied in size since its inception and refl cts its importance for the market. A year later, in-cosmetics's first-ever ‘Market Focus’ shone a light on Brazil, currently the 3rd largest cosmetics market in the world. It was no surprise then that in the same year we expanded the Group's portfolio for a second time, launching in-cosmetics Brazil in Sao Paulo.

Now in its 4th edition and re-branded in-cosmetics Latin America, the two-day exhibition brings together more than 200 international exhibitors of ingredients, fragrances, testing, lab equipment and regulatory solutions, who meet with over 3,000 Latin American cosmetic manufacturers.

Since 2015 the in-cosmetics Group has grown signifi antly in regards to new geographical areas and its services.Now looking ahead to its third edition, in-cosmetics Korea was launched next in 2015.

The personal care industry has been growing significantly in this region and the 2016 edition of the show saw a huge rise in visitors and exhibitors.

Following quickly behind was a new type of event, moving away from the trade show format to focus on a conference education programme.

The Formulation Summit launched in 2015, too, providing new insights, solutions and strategies for developing products and welcomed a host of prestigious

brands. The North America show was launched in 2016 as the newest sourcing event for the region dedicated to personal care ingredients.

After a successful launch in New York in September 2016, in-cosmetics North America returns for a second edition, at a new venue, the Javits Center. Since 1990, in-cosmetics has established itself as the platform for some of the most exciting ingredient launches in the personal care industry around the world.

An ability to adapt and anticipate to changes means that, through in-cosmetics, a global audience receives unrivalled access to the latest raw materials, testing services and learning opportunities in order to achieve their ambitions.

company a signifi ant head start. The reasoning here is that human ancestors used to have more energy, health, and vitality. By looking at some of the foods and ingredients they consumed, Organic Healthcare is looking to deliver the same benefits to its users.

Ms. Rodgers has said that her company relies on the work on the Rambam, and other preeminent Jewish scholars who lived up to 1000 years ago, to create its products. Production work is done by skilled artisans at the company’s main factory in Galilee, Israel.

Organic Healthcare’s Anti Nail Fungus to Sell in US Stores O r g a n i c H e a lt h c a r e , an emerging brand that manufactures 100% bio-organic products, has said that one of its latest releases will soon be available in US stores. This can be seen as a move by the new company to increase its market foothold.

Currently, Organic Healthcare products are available in online markets such as Amazon.com. However, there’s been an increasing push by the company’s management to capture the still large market that shops in local stores rather than online.

Organic Healthcare was established sometimes last year. The brand aims to deliver highly useful healthcare products based on naturally occurring herbs, seeds, and plants.

While a lot of other healthcare products brands are relying on modern science and the latest research, Organic Healthcare chose to do the exact opposite. The company relies on ancient knowledge in healthcare to create its products.

According to Priscilla Rodgers, the brand manager at Organic Healthcare, this unique approach has already given the

L a s t w e e k , O r g a n i c He a lt h c a re announced that it was looking for a distribution partner who could market its products in Northern America. It appears the company settled on the Market Group for this position. The Market Group is based in New York City and has established itself as a premium distributor and marketing fi m. So far, the company has marketed a lot of products in the local cosmetics scene.

It introduced the popular Gold Standard Tanner to the US and a number of other top-notch brands. Organic Healthcare is hoping that by contracting Market Group, its Anti Nail Fungus and other releases will conveniently stock in US stores.

“Our company has been working hard to have our products available in local US stores. The motivation behind this goal is the fact that a big percentage of cosmetics consumers still shop locally in stores and supermarkets. We want to have Organic Healthcare products stocked in supermarket stores so we can tap into this market.

Already, we have appointed Market Group as the sole distributor of our products inside the US. We are hoping that with this move, more customers will be able to access our products,” said Ms. Rodgers.

London Calling: Natural Actives to Create a Buzz at in-cosmetics Naturex has strengthened its personal care portfolio with the introduction of Tillandsia to its Eutectys botanicals range. Also known as Angel’s Hair, Tillandsia is a plant that grows on other plants, often taking root on the limbs of trees, creating large structures that hang from the branches. It obtains moisture from run-off water that falls onto its stems and leaves. This is subsequently stored in its plump tissues, where it stays until required during dry periods.

Naturex has harnessed these properties to benefit human hair in the form of a new active – Tillandsia Eutectys – which has been proven to enhance hair suppleness, increasing its manageability by reducing friction and making it easier to comb. Like every other ingredient in the Eutectys collection, this new active is produced using Eutectigenesis, a patented extraction process that involves Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NaDES).

STUDIES SHOWCASE CHERRY BLOSSOM BENEFITS Meanwhile, Naturex has released the results of two double-blind clinical trials involving its Cherry Blossom Eutectys active.

The ingredient, which has also been rebranded as Eliorelys, was shown in the studies to improve signifi antly the appearance of the skin of subjects aged 40-50 and 51-60 years old who were already showing signs of photo-ageing.

The results demonstrated firstly that

Naturex sources, manufactures and markets natural specialty ingredients for the food, health and cosmetic industries. As the Natural Maker, the company actively supports the global shift to natural by directly addressing key consumer expectations through an offer built on two main focus areas: My Natural Food and My Natural Selfcare.Naturex’s portfolio includes colors, antioxidants, specialty fruits & vegetables, phytoactives, and numerous other plant-based natural ingredients, designed to help its customers create healthy, authentic and effective products.

Eliorelys has protective effect against photo-ageing. It was subsequently shown that the topical application of Eliorelys delivers skin repair benefits, too, with levels of carbonylated proteins and MDA (markers of lipids oxidation) signifi antly reduced versus a placebo.

The researchers observed a reduction in photo-induced skin damage after 28 days of applying a cosmetic formulation containing Eliorelys, while skin texture was also improved after 56 days.

Tillandsia Eutectys and Eliorelys will take centre-stage for Naturex at the forthcoming In-Cosmetics exhibition, which will be staged at London’s ExCel from 4-6 April 2017.

Among other products, Naturex will demonstrate the potential of Tillandsia Eutectys in a new concept haircare product called Flexi Hair Cream. Exhibiting on Stand NN20, Naturex will also showcase Chakah Honey, a new addition to its

Super Honeys collection – a line of readyto-use cosmetic honeys fi st unveiled in January 2017.

ANCIENT SUPER HONEY REDISCOVERED Chakah Honey has never been used in the modern cosmetics market, and was only recently rediscovered by Naturex sourcing experts working in the Yucatan region of Mexico, the cradle of the ancient Mayan civilization. The Maya used the bark or leaves of the Chakah tree as a basis for their traditional medicine.

And Chakah Flower Honey is a treasure-trove of health benefits. It delivers a moisturizing activity that, although traditionally well known, had not previously been scientifi ally demonstrated.

But more importantly, in vitro research has shown it to stimulate and protect the mitochondria, the energy reservoir of human cells, making Chakah a super-active energizing cosmetic honey.

Covestro at in-cosmetics Global in London POLYURETHANE FILM FORMERS FOR INNOVATIVE COSMETIC PRODUCTS Covestro will be showcasing innovative beauty solutions based on polyurethane raw materials of the Baycusan brand at in-cosmetics Global in London from April 4 to 6, 2017 (stand M20).

Both innovative and versatile, these film ormers have proven effective in numerous cosmetics applications, for instance in formulations for skin, hair and sun care products, and for decorative cosmetics.

This year, our exhibition focuses on the skin care of mature skin and an extra-waterproof sun care,” says Dr. Jane Sum, who recently took over management of the Cosmetics segment at Covestro. “This skin type puts special demands on daily skin care. This also includes a durable and compatible sun protection.”

GENTLE DAILY CARE In the area of mature skin care, Covestro has gathered new fi dings and developed new formulations proven to have a skin-fi ming effect. The effect is a result of Baycusan® C 1004, which acts like an invisible barrier against environmental influences. At the Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients (PCHi) trade fair in Guangzhou, China, Covestro cosmetic expert Xiaohui Xiong recently won an innovation award for this achievement.

Minor wrinkles are typical of mature skin but can be unflattering, particularly when there is strong contrast between lighter and darker areas. Covestro is developing formulations with a smoothing effect that hides wrinkles thanks to Baycusan C 1005, a polyurea powder.

ABOUT COVESTRO With 2016 sales of EUR 11.9 billion, Covestro is among the world’s largest polymer companies. Business activities are focused on the manufacture of high-tech polymer materials and the development of innovative solutions for products used in many areas of daily life.

SKIN-COMPATIBLE SUN PROTECTION Covestro has developed high-quality formulations based on its raw material Baycusan® C 1000 to protect sensitive skin. Larger amounts of UV absorbers responsible for sun protection can cause skin and eye irritation. The company has shown recently that the film former reduces the migration of UV absorbers to the skin surface, thus avoiding eye irritation.

The cosmetic products may even contain lower amounts of UV absorbers, but still offer effici t protection against moderate solar radiation by means of SPF boosting. Thanks to the excellent stabilization of Baycusan C 1000 it is suffici t to use lower amounts of emulsifie s. Th s reduces the risk of skin allergies.

FUN IN THE WATER WITH LONGTERM SUN PROTECTION There are just a few months to go before the swimming season begins again, and effective sun protection is a must. But 20

children and surfers in particular are not happy when their sunscreen washes off after the very fi st swim and needs to be reapplied.

without losing its vibrancy. The multi-talented raw material Baycusan C 1008 lends hair care products a triple advantage by protecting, repairing and styling hair. It forms a micro-thin film around each individual strand that protects hair against humidity. It is therefore very effective in controlling and preventing frizz. At the same time, the polymer protects hair against heat, such as when using a hot straightening iron.

Now there is a solution to this problem: Covestro has developed extra waterproof formulations for the beach using the film former Baycusan C 1004. They retain at least 50 percent of their sun protection factor for more than one hour with repeated exposure to water.

The sun protection products are easy to apply and absorb quickly. They are also resistant to sweat. Because the skin is not sticky, sand does not adhere to it and children don’t complain about that unpleasant, itchy feeling.

The sister product Baycusan C 1010 is characterized by a strong hold. Covestro could also show that it protects the hair fiber against particulates. Thus both products offer triple protection – against heat, humidity and environmental influences.

ENJOY YOUR SEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLORING LONGER Covestro is presenting a new Baycusan C 1008 application at in-cosmetics Global, which supports semi-permanent hair coloring. The film former enables a unique and intensive color coverage.

The color lasts for at least two shampoos

NEW GENERATION OF NAIL POLISHES Consumers are increasingly asking for environmentally compatible solutions for nail polishes. Covestro is thus also introducing film formers for low-odor, waterborne nail polishes at the trade fair in London.

The Farsali Unicorn Essence Just Dropped on Sephoraand It's Already Sold Out REMEMBER WHEN WE ALL WENT GAGA FOR THE SHIMMERY, DO-IT-ALL FARSALI UNICORN TEARS LAST YEAR? WELL, IT'S BAAAAACK. AND THIS TIME WITH A NEW MONIKER—IT'S NOW CALLED FARSALI UNICORN ESSENCE—AND A NEW PLACE TO SHOP.

BY SARAH KINONENSARAHKINONEN

Th e s pa r k l y a n t i o x i dant-spiked serum-primer-highlighter hybrid just dropped last night on sephora. com, giving you one more place to shop the Instagrammer-favorite treatment. (It was previously only available on the company's website.)

But before you race over to the online beauty mecca to add a bottle to your virtual cart, be forewarned: It's already sold out. (Sigh.)

To be perfectly honest, I'm not at all surprised at this multipurpose elixir's popularity. Just a few drops of the water-based serum—which is made 26

with superfood fruits açai, blueberry, and goji berry to fi ht off free radicals— can solve a laundry list of skin concerns.

For starters, it can be used as a hydrating premoisturizer treatment when gently dabbed into the skin, as a primer to smooth skin before applying foundation, as an eye-shadow primer before you get your smoky eye on (meaning, yes, the elixir is eye-safe), and as a liquid highlighter to accentuate your chiseled cheekbones and Cupid's bow.

Needless to say, this stuff is magic.

Hence its name, Unicorn Essence. Also, it goes without saying it's one of the prettiest-looing serums we've ever laid eyes on. (Serums in general are kind

of nasty-looking, no?) Want in on the goods? We've reached out to Sephora for an update on when you can expect a restock, and will update you as soon as we hear back. In the meantime? Get sneaky. The product is still available on the brand's website for $54.

And if you've already got a Sephora haul saved in your cart, the brand's cult-classic gold-fl cked dry facial oil, the Rose Gold Elixir, is still in stock (at least for the time being) at sephora.com.

Which is one way of saying that in these fi al days of winter—praise be—if you're still chasing a luminous glow, this might just be your new go-to.

Anti-aging ingredients help promote fi mer skin, so you’ll see fewer wrinkles as skin takes on a brighter, more even appearance.

Apply a pea sized amount to the face in the morning as your last step before applying make-up. Recommended for use over your daytime SPF moisturizer for enhanced sun protection.

Q. WHY A STYLING RANGE? Because this is the creative part of any range and allows us and our clients to produce styles they really want. It needed to be effective so we could use it on photo shoots and shows but also we wanted products that are simple to work with and give great results for all hair types.

In other words – products we could really depend on.

SHEER BLONDE BRILLIANTLY BRIGHTER BLONDE PERFECTING TREATMENT (RRP £9.99) The John Frieda Sheer Blonde Brilliantly Brighter Blonde Perfecting Treatment is a weekly, five minute treatment that adds a shimmery overlay of light-refl ctive, pearlescent tones for brighter, beautifully blended blonde. Inspired by photo dye technology in collaboration with a leading photography and imaging company– experts in the fi ld of developing clear, vivid and durable colours – this revolutionary treatment has been in development for over fi een years.

Reveal Your Brightest Blonde with John Frieda Sheer Blonde The new John Frieda Sheer Blonde Brilliantly Brighter range increases the natural luminosity of blonde hair for a natural looking, perfectly blended, brilliant shine. Each product in this collection contains patented John Frieda technology which when combined, will allow blondes to discover new depths; perfecting the hair from within for brilliant reflection and shine, and providing a translucent colour effect that adds layers of shimmery pearlescence to enhance your blonde shade with every movement. Amazing colour. Every. Single. Day. SHEER BLONDE BRILLIANTLY BRIGHTER ULTRA ILLUMINATING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER (RRP £6.99 EACH) The new Brilliantly Brighter shampoo and conditioner contain John Frieda’s patented technology to penetrate and perfect the hair from within, improving each strand’s reflective capabilities and resulting in a noticeable luminosity.

Hair damage from dying, bleaching or

styling can create microscopic pores in the hair which can make hair look dull – much like the flaws and imperfections which prevent a diamond from shining its brightest. John Frieda’s patented Blonde Perfecting Technology shrinks these pores, so that the now mirrorsmooth hair surface and transparent hair fiber can refl ct and transmit light more clearly for blonde hair that shines brilliantly brighter.

Each product in this collection contains patented John Frieda technology which when combined, will allow blondes to discover new depths; per fecting the hair from within for brilliant refle tion and shine, and adds layers of shimmery pearlescence to enhance your blonde shade with every movement.

A truly innovative launch, this Perfecting Treatment pioneers John Frieda’s new Rainbow Dye technology which deposits blonde dye molecules onto the hair’s surface to create a flawless colour ‘veil’ around each fiber. The combination of blonde tones and the unique distribution of the molecule in a ring around the hair refl ct light in a perfectly blended, multi-tonal hue, which shifts with the hair’s natural movement to create a pearlescent shine from every angle. The dye molecules penetrate deeply into the outer layers of hair, but without a chemical reaction (hair is not artific ally lightened) so there is no risk of damage or signifi ant change to the base colour of your hair.

A more subtle result than salon foil highlights, but retaining exceptional shine and multi-dimensional colour, this is a treatment to brighten to your most naturally blended, beautifully brilliant blonde.

SKIN CARE

Hydra-Essentiel Range DULL, DEHYDRATED SKIN? QUENCH FROM WITHIN. Water is essential for life and also our skin. Heat, cold, pollution, stress and sudden changes in temperature and humidity can all take their toll on our skin’s hydration levels. After studying climate and its impact on skin hydration, in 2017 Clarins Research has highlighted a new dehydration factor linked to our modern lifestyle – the sudden changes in temperature we are exposed to on a daily basis.

UP TO 17 THERMAL SHOCKS A DAY Whatever the weather, our comings and goings from indoors to outdoors, expose us every day to changes in temperature and humidity. When we go out, travel on buses or trains, shop in an air- conditioned store, after a workout in the gym, we are exposed to as many as 17 thermal shocks a day, and so is our skin.

Sudden changes in temperature and humidity impact the skin’s natural water retention systems. The skin’s natural hydration capacity is diminished, less water is retained and the skin becomes dehydrated. It looks dull, lacks radiance and feels rough and uncomfortable.

80-70-13… THE VITAL STATISTICS OF PERFECTLY MOISTURISED SKIN Hydration is the skin’s most important requirement and a woman’s top beauty priority. Well- moisturized skin is skin

Water is essential for life and also our skin.

Heat, cold, pollution, stress and sudden changes in temperature and humidity can all take their toll on our skin’s hydration levels. After studying climate and its impact on skin hydration, in 2017 Clarins Research has highlighted a new dehydration factor linked to our modern lifestyle – the sudden changes in temperature we are exposed to on a daily basis. that not only has enough water reserves via the microcirculation at dermal level, but also has effective natural water retention systems thanks to “sponge molecules” at all its levels and an effective barrier function. Skin which is ideally hydrated will have 80% water in the dermis, 65-70% in the epidermis and 13% in the corneal layer.

THE IMPACT OF THERMAL SHOCKS ON THE SKIN’S MOISTURE BALANCE For the fi st time, Clarins Research has

demonstrated via two innovative studies, the impact of sudden changes in temperature and humidity on a daily basis, on skin’s hydration.

1. CHANGES TO THE SKIN’S PROPERTIES In vivo study: evaluating the short-term clinical effects of thermal shocks on the skin. A panel of 35 women were placed in a climate-controlled environment which reproduced daily thermal shocks.

From the 1st thermal shock Whether hot or cold, the appearance of the skin and how it felt changed: there was visible redness, it was rough to the touch and felt uncomfortable.

2. REDUCTION IN WATER-RETAINING “SPONGE MOLECULES” Ex vivo study: understanding the impact of daily thermal shocks on water retention systems at all skin levels.

At corneal layer level The production of dead cells increases, leading to rougher skin.

At epidermal and dermal level Water retention is affected by a reduction in “sponge molecules” or their precursors: Reduction in the synthesis of HAS2, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, the major “sponge molecule” of the skin found in the epidermis and dermis.

Reduction in the synthesis of proteoglycans, “sponge molecules” of the dermis.

THE ANSWER… The Organic Leaf of Life: a fascinating example of self-hydration. In its native Madagascar, the plant manages to remain full of water despite being exposed to sudden changes in temperature.

its pale green, fle hy leaves filled with water. Or rather filled with a hydrating sap, a nourishing liquid that means the plant is known as a “succulent”. It is this ingenious survival strategy that Clarins researchers decided to investigate.

Organic leaf of life extract powers the skin’s natural hydration at all skin levels, by boosting the production of water-retaining “sponge molecules” such as hyaluronic acid. Despite intense sun, major variations in temperature between night and day and very low rainfall, the leaf of life is incredibly resistant and still keeps

ORGANIC LEAF OF LIFE ENCOURAGES THE NATURAL HYDRATION OF THE SKIN After close analysis of the components of the leaf, in vitro tests were carried out by researchers at Clarins cell biology laboratory. They revealed the exceptional capacity of organic leaf of life

extract to boost the natural synthesis of water-retaining “sponge molecules” at all skin levels. The skin’s capacity to retain water is restored thanks to organic leaf of life extract which naturally boosts both the expression of genes at the origin of water-retaining “sponge molecules” and the direct and natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid, a major “sponge molecule”, in the dermis and epidermis.

By helping the skin to restore its own various water reserves, organic leaf of life extract encourages optimal skin moisturisation. That’s self-hydration!

SKIN CARE

Water is essential for life and also our skin. Heat, cold, pollution, stress and sudden changes in temperature and humidity can all take their toll on our skin’s hydration levels. After studying climate and its impact on skin hydration, in 2017 Clarins Research has highlighted a new dehydration factor linked to our modern lifestyle – the sudden changes in temperature we are exposed to on a daily basis.

Even when water retention is perfectly restored, the skin can still appear dull and show signs of discomfort. The pollution in today’s world, both outdoor and

indoor, damages the hydrolipidic film, weakens the skin and reduces its capacity to retain water. To provide skin with extra protection, Hydra- Essentiel moisturisers contain Clarins new anti-pollution complex. Just opening your window or walking into your house brings in pollution from outside, which adds to the pollution already generated by household activities. Th s link between the air inside and outside was the catalyst for the fi st study carried out by Clarins Research on the impact of four major types of pollutant which affect our indoor and outdoor environments : exhaust fumes, particles, formaldehyde and cigarette smoke.

THE MAIN HARMFUL EFFECTS OF POLLUTION ON THE SKIN ARE: • WEAKENING of the skin’s barrier function: skin is rougher, less radiant, it becomes dehydrated.

• OVERPRODUCTION of free radicals: considerable damage to cells.

• ADDITIONAL AGEING breakdown of the extracellular matrix, bad cohesion between the dermis and epidermis.

In 2017, Clarins enriches its anti-pollution complex to deliver a triple action against indoor and outdoor pollution, both day and night.

Organic Leaf of Life enables the skin MAINTAIN water reserves thanks to mucilage, the plant’s “sponge molecules”. Like hyaluronic acid, the skin’s “sponge molecule”, mucilage is composed of polysaccharides with hygroscopic properties.

It can trap up to 95% water in the parenchyma, a kind of dermis in the plant, and produce this sap which is a substance characteristic of succulent plants.

LIMIT water loss via customized photosynthesis. To incorporate the CO2 necessary for photosynthesis, plants have stomata, small orifices on the underside of the leaves. The leaf of life, unlike a non-succulent plant, opens its stomata at night when temperatures fall and there is less moisture loss from the leaves, and then closes them during the day. Th s process is a wonderful example of ecological adaptation to photosynthesis aimed at limiting the plant’s moisture loss.

OPTIMISE the barrier function thanks to the cuticle, a waxy deposit on the leaf surface. The external surface of the leaves of the plant is covered in a waxy deposit called the cuticle. Composed of fatty acids, these hydrophobic cuticular waxes form a barrier resistant to diffusion of water and water vapour from underlying levels: cells in the epidermis and parenchyma are protected from dehydration.

PERFUME

Get ready for the shock introducing Black Opium Floral Shock Fresh, invigorating, BLACK OPIUM FLORAL SHOCK hits like a burst of fragrant fl wers, cold as morning dew, hard-hitting like that first jolt of esp esso when you first ake up. Like nothing that has come before, yet with the comforting familiarity of the coffee note found in the original Black Opium, Black Opium Floral Shock takes your breath away with a unique tension between sun-baked eroticism and a cool froideur all of its own.

A new sweet freshness - of freesia notes, the soft- reen citrus of bergamot, and the delicate a roma of sugary pear - is wrapped with the soaring sensuality of golden gardenia accord and an absolute of orange blossom. Warm, like the sudden intensity of winter sun through the window, it is both loving and sensual.

But before you can bask in the heat, the shock of ice-cold espresso coffee accord - the grounding force of the founding member of the Black Opium fragrance family - and the sultry, mysterious note of white musk. Like a shaft of white, bright light it strikes at the heart; cool and mysterious, instant gratifi ation ensues.

Resistance is futile; return is inevitable.

"It's about being innovative, smelling something tota lly unexpected, something that surprises a nd that we want to smell again! When we fi st launched Black Opium it was shocking because of its overdose of coffee, which wa s elegantly balanced with enveloping fl ra l notes.

It felt transgressive; it delivered in terms of adrenaline and excitement - something tha t was so familiar (coffee) ta king on a new and unexpected addictive quality that wa s exquisitely feminine."

What is the shock value about Black Opium Floral Shock?

"Black Opium Floral Shock continues the tradition of presenting something so new a nd different that it crea tes a ripple effect in the world of fragrance. Here we have the black coffee accord combined with a fresh mineral accord, two fragrance facets which have never been associated before! The floral notes add the feeling of a sea breeze, which balances with the fl ral heart of the fragrance, enriched with vibrancy and zest using unique qualities of jasmine and orange blossom. It's truly an innovation."

Boutique beaut y br and, C O D E B e au t i f u l , h a s revealed its European expansion plans for 2017 after appointing distributors in four new territories, following their successful launch into the UK and Ireland.

After launching in the UK market late 2014, the brand has gone from strength to strength, growing its product range and amassing a dedicated customer base.

The brand, CODE Beautiful, is all about creating must have hero products for women, pushing manufacturing boundaries to create products that are better to anything out there and leading the trend of multi-purpose niche hero brands.

Known for working with leading fashion retailers, high-end pharmacies, and premium independent beauty salons, CODE Beautiful’s expansion plan has centred around partnering with local distributors in each new territory.

They’ve sought out partners who have substantial experience, a thorough understanding of the premium cosmetics niche market and of course a little bit of like-mindedness. In Ireland, the brand is now stocked in Harvey Nichols, Meaghers and CARA as well as many premium independents, with positive word of mouth and social media driving sales. In Spain, Sweden, Denmark and France key partners have been chosen to rapidly grow the brand, utilising the same community style social media growth and working with important ‘seeders’ or early adopters to drive awareness to the ‘cool kids’ who then sell to the masses.

“We are delighted with the company’s strong performance over the past year. Our European expansion will be a huge success following a tried and tested growth model and we’re extremely excited about developing the brand further globally in the coming months, and the launch of more hero products in 2017,”

Our European expansion will be a huge success following a tried and tested growth model and we’re extremely excited about developing the brand further globally in the coming months, and the launch of more hero products in 2017.

Code Beautiful Successfully Launches in Europe said Creator, Sarah Cross. The brand’s two new problem solving products are set to launch in March and promises to keep to the company’s vision of creating hero products, which today’s beauty lover won’t be able to live without.

Sarah has extensively researched the beauty market, taking inspiration and learnings from South Korea which is steaming ahead to lead the global beauty market.

believe CODE Beautiful should remain focussed on originality and independence, ensuring we maintain our authenticity. We see 2017 as a key year for the brand and will continue to drive new product development and our global presence.”

Following on from their expansion, the boutique brand has also recently signed an exclusive deal to go into travel retail in the Nordics (for markets: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland).

TEN MINUTE TAN BY VITA LIBERATA

The Intelligent

Tanning Solution Tanning just became even easier with Ten Minute Tan from the world’s leading non-toxic, luxury tanning brand, Vita Liberata. Ten Minute Tan is the new, organic pre-shower tanning lotion and ultra-hydrating skin treatment that is absorbed in just ten minutes, developing over the next 4-6 hours to create a beautiful, natural glow.

As the tanning actives are quickly absorbed before being rinsed off in the shower, there is no risk of transfer onto your clothes making it the most fussfree tanning option for busy lifestyles.

TEN MINUTE TAN: KEY INGREDIENTS • Matrixyl 3000 mimics the appearance of broken down collagen, causing your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, for a plumping, smoothing effect.

• Rose is rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, which are quickly absorbed by the skin to help with tissue regeneration and smooth the surface of the skin.

• Neroli has a toning, tightening effect, and shrinks pores and blood vessels to smooth the skin’s appearance. It also has a stimulating effect on skin cells, helping regenerate skin and improving elasticity.

• DHA, the effective tanning active, gradually deepens to a flawless, streak-free golden glow.

need to worry about streaking or smearing which can occur in hot climates if you are sweating or swimming, and you can apply SPF as usual within 30 minutes of application.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: • Apply generously to your skin with long, elliptical movements. A tanning mitt is not required, but wash the palms of your hands immediately after application.

• Wait at least ten minutes and then shower, careful not to use any moisturising shower products which can affect the complex blend of ingredients. The active ingredients in Ten Minute Tan will develop gradually over 4-6 hours.

• Can be applied daily to build colour to desired depth.

Q&A with Madeline Poole, Sally Hansen's Global Colour Ambassador From The Perspective Of A Manicurist, Why Is There A Need For A Product Like Moisture Rehab?

A lot of people suffer from brittle, dry nails that break and chip easily. Many want to grow their nails out to keep up with the trending shapes and try different nail styles; however, their nails may be damaged from using gels or dry from day-to-day activities like dish washing.

Moisture Rehab is a great product for delivering moisturisation overnight to address issues of breakage, weakness and chipping.

What In General Makes Nails & Cuticles Dry? A lack of moisture, which can damage the keratin. Moisture can mean either the amount of liquids you’re consuming or the amount of moisture you’re applying topically to the nail and cuticle.

Are There Any Recent Trends That Have Contributed To Dehydrated Nails & Cuticles?

Gel nails have their downfalls, unfortunately. They can cause damage to the nail plate and weaken nails, causing dehydration.

Have You Noticed An Increase In Dehydration Or Damaged Nails In The Last Few Years?

What I’ve noticed is an increased awareness of the health status of nails. People are paying closer attention to their nails and therefore are more concerned with taking care of them.

How Does A Product Like Moisture Rehab Improve Colour Lay Down?

Moisture Rehab has a lightweight overnight formula with acai, black orchid and algae leaving your nails smoother and more hydrated so that when you eventually apply colour the application is much smoother.

Does A Moisturised And Strong Nail Bed Help A Manicure To Last Longer?

Absolutely! Not only does it look better, moisture allows your nails to have more flexibility. With fl xibility you can avoid breakage and chipping.

INTERVIEW

Why Do You Focus On Treatment Products As Part Of A Manicure?

I think a painted nail only looks as good as the nails they are on. Healthy nails are a better canvas to start on so the fin shed product looks that much more beautiful. A healthy nail is smoother and can grow out longer to achieve different shapes.

What Do You Find Special About Moisture Rehab As Compared To Other Treatment Products On The Market?

I like that Moisture Rehab is an overnight product.

I a lways li ke a pro duct you’re intended to sleep in like overnight face creams.

What Differences Do You Notice In The Condition Of The Nail After Using Moisture Rehab?

If you have any ridge issues this could be a great product for you. Ridges are caused by extreme dryness under the cuticle. Using this product regularly delivers deep moisture to cuticles and nails making them stronger.

When And How Should Consumers Use Moisture Rehab?

Moisture Rehab is intended to be used overnight.

Apply onto bare nails and gently massage. It can even be used over an existing manicure as a conditioning treatment.

Q&A with Ginger Coners, Senior Director, R&D-Nail category for Coty What causes dry nails and cuticles?

Some people have naturally dry nails and cuticles. Additionally, daily exposure to soaps, shampoos, and even water can strip natural oils, leaving nails and cuticles dry and in need of a moisture boost. Ironically, overexposure to water can have a drying effect on nails and cuticles. Similar to applying body moisturiser right after bathing, applying Moisture Rehab helps to lock-in and retain moisture.

How can consumers know if they have dry nails and/or cuticles?

A classic sign of dry nails is their tendency to crack, split or break due to brittleness. Plus, they appear visibly dry. Hard, “crunchy”, ragged cuticles can be indications of dryness.

What is so special and unique about moisture rehab?

Moisture Rehab contains a concentrated complex of orchid, acai, algae and humectants to help instantly increase nails moisture and help improve overall nail and cuticle condition.

How did you choose each of these particular actives and what does each do for nails?

The orchid, acai and algae extracts were chosen for their known moisturising benefits, and the humectants were chosen for

their powerful ability to retain and lock-in existing moisture.

Why is it better to have a moisturising product that works overnight?

Multitasking! Moisture Rehab works to condition dry nails and cuticles while you sleep.

How does moisture rehab differ from a traditional cuticle oil product?

Traditional cuticle oils are exactly that: oils.

Cuticle oils have their place in a manicure regimen, but Sally Hansen wants to provide customised options. Moisture Rehab is non-oily and easy to use overnight, with no worries of product transfer to your bedding.

How does moisture make nails stronger and more resilient?

Dry, brittle nails can crack and break, and dry cuticles tear and are unsightly and uncomfortable. A moisturised nail is flex ble and not brittle, helping to with stand breakage.

A moisturised cuticle sets the groundwork for optimized nail growth potential.

How does this moisture rehab improve colour lay down?

If your bare nails are properly conditioned and moisturised, they will provide a smooth canvas for your manicure. A smooth manicure not only looks beautiful, but the gloss

Why is treatment important for the overall manicure?

Treating your face before you apply makeup will help give you a more elegant makeup result. Similarly, a treated and conditioned nail lays the groundwork for a beautiful manicure.

Is it possible to apply colour right after applying moisture rehab/do we need to remove moisture rehab before applying colour?

For maximum results, apply Moisture Rehab the night before you plan to manicure your nails, and then rinse your nails prior to manicuring. During the life of your manicure, Moisture Rehab can be applied directly over your manicure as a conditioning treatment.

Can moisture rehab also be used for pedicures?

Absolutely! We sometimes forget that our toenails require the same care and treatment as our fi gernails. Using Moisture Rehab the night before your pedicure will help to achieve a beautiful, conditioned pedicure.

DAVIDOFF Horizon Extreme

Live the adventure to the extreme with the new Davidoff orizon fragrance Inspired by the strength of mountain heights, DAVIDOFF Horizon, captured the freedom of adventure and the thrill of achievement in a refine , classic masculine fragrance that balances the duality between earth and sky. Now DAVIDOFF Parfums introduce DAVIDOFF Horizon Extreme, an intense interpretation of the signature fragrance.

This powerful, new version takes the classic masculine into more extreme territory, exploring the strength of the original fragrance with an addictive Woody Ambery accord. Going beyond the journey to the horizon of the first fragrance DAVIDOFF Horizon, DAVIDOFF Horizon Extreme takes us right to the very summit, motivates us to overcome possibilities, live life more intensely, accomplish any dream.

THE FRAGRANCE For a solid and determined man with no ties, no limits, with DAVIDOFF Horizon Extreme master perfumers Olivier Pescheux and Jacques Huclier pushed contrasted scents to their maximum to create an addictive eau de parfum and a profoundly individual signature.

Top notes of Rosemary and Ginger still fl at on the wind, joined by rich masculine notes of tough, spicy Nutmeg and Sandalwood. Extremely intense base notes are reinforced with a vibrant accord of Amber and Cedarwood. More extreme, more woody and warmer than DAVIDOFF Horizon, the potent ensemble will lead to thrilling sensations.

L’Oréal Commits to Empower Women in Fighting Climate Change L'Oréal announces that it will become a founding partner of the "Women4Climate" global initiative to contribute to the empowerment of women leaders in fig ting climate change. The news was announced today during the launch conference organized by C40 Cities in New York at Columbia University and headed by Anne Hidalgo, Paris Mayor and C40 Chair.

L'Oréal will mentor young women who develop solutions to limit the impacts of climate change, in each city of C40 that participates in the program.

The Group will mobilize leading women from its own teams to support future leaders and to strengthen their leadership capabilities. L'Oréal will support research on gender-specific consequences 74

of climate change, by funding university chairs around the world. Alongside the C40 Cities, L’Oréal will also contribute to select and fi ance projects that respond to gender-specific challenges in fighting climate change.

“At L’Oréal we consider it strategic to engage with C40 women mayors to empower the next generation of women leaders in fi hting climate change. Th s

commitment reflects two of L’Oréal’s major orientations: gender equality and climate protection”, said Alexandra Palt, L’Oréal’s Chief Sustainability Officer.

“Women will play a critical role in tackling climate change. It is our responsibility to empower and support them.”

“The private sector is a key partner in the effort to empower women and fight climate change. L’Oréal is the fi st corporate partner to support the Women4Climate initiative and I am delighted by this cooperation”, declared Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris and Chair of C40.

C40 Cities connects 90 of the world’s biggest cities, representing more than

International Cosmetics News | April 2017

650 million citizens and one quarter of the global economy. Created and led by cities, C40 aims to tackle climate change and drive action that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks, while increasing the health, wellbeing and economic opportunities of urban people.

The current chair of the C40 is Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo; and three-term Mayor of New York City Michael R. Bloomberg serves as President of the Board.

L’ORÉAL’S SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS As the world’s leading beauty company, L'Oréal is committed to gender equality.

Women account for 46% of the Board and 58% of L’Oréal’s brands are headed by women. Women have also an important role in the supply chain of L’Oréal at the heart of communities that produce the raw materials of plant origin used

by L’Oréal.

Th s is the case of the sustainable sourcing of shea butter from Burkina Faso that benefits to 35,000 women, or argan oil which comes from a network of cooperatives established in Morocco with 600 members. These programs already include adaptation strategies in order to help these women to limit the consequences of climate change on their livelihoods and revenue. L'Oréal is also committed to a systematic effort to drastically reduce its CO2 emissions. L’Oréal reduced its CO2 emissions in 2016 by 67% in absolute terms from a 2005 baseline while the Group's production volume rose by 29%.

L’Oréal has thus confi med its ability, for over a dozen years, to combine economic growth with a fi m commitment to climate protection.Th s performance has been acknowledged by CDP, an independent organisation that measures and evaluates companies' sustainable development strategies and achievements.

Lush joins call for British father’s return from death row Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics are joining forces with human rights organisation, Reprieve, to call for the release of a British father who is being held illegally on death row in Ethiopia.

On Friday 10th March 2017, a campaign will launch in Lush’s 102 UK shops and run until Monday 20th March – Andy Tsege’s 1000th day on death row.

Mr Tsege’s ordeal began in June 2014, when Ethiopian forces kidnapped him at an international airport and secretly ‘rendered’ him to the country. A father of three from London, Mr Tsege is a prominent figu e in Ethiopian opposition politics and has previously spoken out against human rights abuses in the 76

country. In 2009, while he was living in London with his family, a court in Ethiopia put Mr Tsege on trial in absentia and sentenced him to death.

Mr Tsege’s partner and children in London, who are being assisted by Reprieve, are calling on the British Government to secure his return home.

However, Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has so far refused to seek Mr Tsege’s return to the UK, saying that he cannot ‘interfere’ in other countries’ judicial systems. To help raise awareness of

Mr Tsege’s story and Reprieve’s campaign for his return home, Lush are launching Buy One Set One Free (£3.95), a limited edition bath bomb fragranced with the spicy Smell of Freedom scent and containing a photograph of the Tsege family, which appears when the product is dropped in water.

Th s bath bomb will be on sale in Lush’s UK shops and Lush.co.uk throughout the campaign and all proceeds (minus VAT) will go directly to Reprieve. Visitors to Lush shops nationwide will also have the opportunity to sign Reprieve’s petition

International Cosmetics News | April 2017

calling on the Foreign Secretary to secure Mr Tsege’s return. Nearly 30,000 people have already signed the petition for Mr Tsege’s freedom, while several MPs have raised the case in Parliament.

Mr Tsege’s ordeal takes place in the context of a wider crackdown on dissent in Ethiopia, where journalists, bloggers and political protestors have been arrested.

Maya Foa, a Director at Reprieve comments, “Andy Tsege and his family have been through a horrifying ordeal since 2014. It’s shameful that, three years on from his kidnap, Andy is still held illegally on death row. Boris Johnson must urgently listen to the growing call for him to seek Andy’s return home to London.”

Hilary Jones, Lush’s Ethics Director adds,”Perhaps none of us are safe to travel if our Government are willing to sit on their hands when a British Citizen is snatched and imprisoned with no international legal process involved. It is up to all of us to defend our rights and demand that British passport holders can travel safely, knowing Government protection is with us every step of the way”.

ABOUT REPRIEVE Reprieve is an international human rights organization which assists people facing the death penalty, as well as the victims of other extreme human rights abuses.

Reprieve’s London offic can be contacted on communications@reprieve.org.uk, or on 00 44 207 553 8140. Further information on Reprieve website: www.reprieve. org.uk/case-study/andargachew-tsege/ ABOUT LUSH Lush is a manufacturer and retailer of fresh handmade cosmetics with shops in 49 countries. Lush campaigns for many issues across the spectrums of human rights, animal pro- tection and environmental preservation.

Th s is Lush’s third campaign in support of Reprieve. In 2008, they launched the “Fair Trial My Arse” campaign to raise awareness of the plight of detainees held without charge or trial in Guantánamo Bay.
