NEWS By using the Interceptor G2 from BASF, a mother and child in Africa receive much needed protection from mosquitoes

CHEMIPOL’S PRESERVATIVES NOW AVAILABLE LOCALLY CHEMPURE HAS RECENTLY been appointed the local agent for Chemipol SA – a manufacturer and supplier of biocides, additives and process chemicals which is based in Spain. This development further diversifies Chempure’s offering to the personal care and cosmetics industry.

Chemipol SA has over 30 years’ experience in microbiology applied to the personal care, chemical and food industries. It offers a wide range of preservatives for microbial control in personal care formulations. These include the Biopol classic preservatives and Biopol classic active ingredients, and the Sensicare C and Sensicare M preservatives with improved eco-toxicity. It also produces innovative preservative-free antimicrobials, which include the Sensicare FP antimicrobials and Sensicare NAT natural antimicrobials.

The Sensicare range enables formulators to develop cosmetics with a reduced concentration of preservative ingredients without compromising the protection from harmful microorganisms. Thanks to the reduced presence of preservatives in a finished formulation, the possible undesirable side effects such as sensitisation are reduced while raw material incompatibility is also minimised.

BASF TAKES MALARIA PREVENTION TO THE NEXT LEVEL THE INTERNATIONAL CHEMICAL company has received a recommendation from the World Health Organization (WHO) for Interceptor G2. This is a long-lasting insecticidetreated mosquito net based on chlorfenapyr, which is a completely new insecticide class for combating mosquitoes for public health. This is the first WHO recommendation in more than 30 years for a product based on a new insecticide class.

Working with the Innovative Vector Control Consortium (IVCC) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in a collaboration lasting over a decade, BASF’s scientists successfully repurposed chlorfenapyr to be effective on mosquito nets and meet stringent WHO performance thresholds for public health.

Dave Malone, IVCC technical manager, comments: ‘The collaboration with BASF

cosmetics. Acacia will represent Tinci throughout the South African market and in neighbouring African countries.

Since 2008, Acacia has been supplying speciality products to the food, agriculture and industrial market sectors throughout southern Africa. The company has well-developed infrastructure with warehousing and distribution facilities in all major centres in South Africa. The addition of a personal care division aligns with Acacia’s strategy to supply its customers with a broad range of quality speciality products.

Tinci produces a wide variety of personal care raw materials, covering the skin, hair and oral care segments. It also offers a small range of cosmetics preservatives. The following products are carried as ex-stock items: • a nti-dandruff agent (Zinc Pyrithion 48 percent) • c arbomers (hair gels, hand sanitisers, clear gels, oral care and body washes) • c ationic guar conditioners (Guar Hydroxy Propyl Trimonium Chloride 13S, 14S) • c ationic conditioners (Polyquaternium 7, 39, 47) • c ationic cellulose conditioners (Polyquaternium 10) • t raditional emulsifiers (Ceteareth 6, 20, 25)

Stavros Nicolaou, senior executive of strategic trade development at Aspen was present at the signing of the accord with Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Yuri Trutnev.

‘The collaboration aims mainly at reducing the number of deaths associated with thrombosis which is relatively high in Russia compared to rates in the EU,’ comments Nicolaou.

Aspen has been established in the Russian Federation since 2013, where it is a leader in the state-funded and medically critical fields of anti-thrombosis and anaesthesiology. Aspen employs over 150 qualified specialists in its operations throughout Russia and the Far Eastern Federal District. One of the main pharmaceuticals in Aspen’s Russian portfolio is the life-saving injectable anti-coagulant, Fraxiparine (Nadroparine Calcium). This low molecular-weighted heparin encompasses unique manufacturing technology and boasts a best-inclass efficacy and safety profile.

The first phase of Aspen’s technology transfer for full-cycle manufacturing of Fraxiparine has been completed at the Russian biopharmaceutical company, Nanolek, in the Kirov region.

‘This collaboration is significant from a South African perspective, as it underscores the confidence countries around the world have in Aspen’s scientific capabilities and begins to profile South Africa as a global pharmaceutical player. Up until now, South Africa was

onsumers’ brand loyalty continues to dwindle with beauty shoppers seeking newer and more exciting sensorial experiences.

Their impact on texture varies and is dependent on their molecular weight, polarity, chemical composition, etc. Sensient’s Natpure Feel M-Eco is an example of a natural emollient that combines the conditioning and moisturising benefits of esters while providing a silicone-like lightness upon application.

Gelling agents, also known as thickeners or stabilisers, are ingredients that dissolve in one phase to form a weakly cohesive structure, modifying a product’s rheology. Going beyond the simple adjustment of viscosity, modern thickeners can deeply transform a texture to create unexpected experiences for consumers. Covacryl AC, a sodium polyacrylate gelling agent, can create stringy serums, which are popular in Korean beauty.

PMMA beads. This creates an instant soft focus visual effect on skin. To demonstrate the concept, Sensient created an aqua powder lipstick using treated powders and spherical cross-linked PMMA beads (see Table 1 for the guideline formulation).

This loose powder contains 82 percent of the hydrophilic phase and turns into a fresh cream upon application.

Water based makeup Combining hydrophilic pigments and hydrophobic treated talc is another way to create a unique texture. Sensient shows this concept in a unique body ornament formulation (see Table 2) where a wet brush is used to create an emulsion between pigments treated with phytic acid and the hydrophobic coating on talc.

The phytic acid used in this pigment treatment is derived from rice bran (see Figure 1). It is GMO and allergen-free. The treatment mechanism is based on the formation of chelate compounds from the reaction between the active groups of phytic acid Sensient’s watercolour makeup is inspired by tattoos and henna body art

and metal atoms on the pigment surface. This natural super-hydrophilic surface treatment makes it easy to formulate water based makeup products.

These PHY surface treated pigments disperse fully in the water phase without mixing or grinding.

Full colour strength develops faster, shade adjustment is simpler and higher pigment load is possible. No significant viscosity increase is observed up until a pigment load of 50 percent into the water phase. These benefits lead to enhanced stability in water gels or O/W emulsions with the additional advantage of no difference observed between the mass and payoff shade.

Sensient keeps increasing its offering of texturing ingredients. This is in recognition of formulators’ growing challenges to create makeup products with innovative textures, which meet consumers’ needs for unique, pleasant and surprising beauty products. •

The Floraesters reduce breakage, frizz, comb force and dyeing time while increasing conditioning, heat protection, colour retention, hair dye intensity, quat performance, hair’s smoothness and softness, as well as volume.

According to Floratech, there is a synergistic effect between glycerin and Floraesters K-20W Jojoba or Floraesters K-100 Jojoba. Due to their unique chemistry, the interaction between these ingredients results in better hydration performance and can boost long-lasting moisturisation in both leave-on and rinse-off products.

Improved hair conditioning Floratech has evaluated the potential of Floraesters K-20W Jojoba and K-100 Jojoba to improve hair conditioning as measured by wet comb force. Wet comb force measurements were taken at baseline and post-test article treatment. Test articles included shampoos with or without 2.5 percent Floraesters K-20W Jojoba and conditioners with or without one percent Floraesters K-100 Jojoba.

The results revealed that wet comb force was reduced 48 percent on hair tresses treated with a combination of a shampoo with Floraesters K-20W Jojoba and a conditioner with Floraesters K-100 Jojoba, compared to the shampoo/ conditioner combination (see Figure 1).

The swatches underwent eight treatment cycles (wash, rinse, condition and rinse) using shampoos and conditioners with or without 2.5 percent Floraesters K-20W Jojoba and one percent Floraesters K-100 Jojoba respectively.

Change in colour (ΔE) from pre-treatment was measured after every two treatment cycles.

The results showed that the wool swatches dyed with commercial red or brown permanent hair dyes retained up to 19 percent more colour (test article D) when treated with a shampoo containing 2.5 percent Floraesters K-20W Jojoba and a conditioner containing one percent Floraesters K-100 Jojoba, compared to the performance of a placebo shampoo and conditioner (see Figure 2). •

HAIR CARE

The root of revitalisation A loss in hair density is considered a sign of ageing. Diet, stress and hereditory factors can cause hair to weaken and eventually fall. Vincience BiotHAIRapy from Ashland offers a solution to help protect and combat the visual effects of ageing, thinning hair.

A

shland’s roadmap to beautiful hair is based on BiotHAIRapy biofunctionals, which consists of patented ingredient systems inspired by key biological

markers associated with hair growth, density, strength and colour. The portfolio has been developed

by Ashland’s Vincience research centre, which is represented in South Africa by Millchem.

Maintaining hair density over time is one of consumers’ most valued attributes, yet it remains one of the most elusive. To meet consumers’ needs for denser, stronger and healthier hair, Ashland’s Vincience research centre has produced an ingredient extracted from yeast, which is inspired by

Table 1: Panelists saw reduction in hair fall when using the Dynagen biofunctional formulation versus the control formulation

key structured proteins.

Dynagen biofunctional This patent-pending yeast extract is designed to nurture essential markers to help minimise hair fall and strengthen the hair follicle while nourishing the hair root. By targeting specific protein markers, in vitro studies have shown that Dynagen biofunctional may help protect and combat the visual effects of ageing, thinning hair. It may also help with the reinforcement and stability of the hair follicle.

The ability of Dynagen biofunctional to minimise hair fall was evaluated in a clinical study. A consumer-perceivable anti-hair fall benefit was shown in the study results; hair felt stronger, thicker and healthier (see Table 1). Trichogram methodology (anagen to telogen ratio measurement) confirmed that the formulation with Dynagen biofunctional delivered a significant anti-hair fall effect. Within

A complete range of dye and soft-pigmented inks are available as well as specialised inks for bottling applications including caustic washable inks for glass and plastics.

DELIVERING PRODUCTIVITY The launch of the Linx CSL60 laser is designed to take on the challenge of achieving highest quality codes on ultra-fast packing lines with difficult to mark substrates. It combines a powerful processor and 60W laser tube with Linx’s unique Visicode system. This assists in the production of crisp, clear codes on difficult-to-mark materials such as glass and PET at high speeds. It further enables manufacturers to meet all compliance requirements and provides effective brand protection and enhancement. The laser incorporates a powerful processor able to relay messages from the control unit to the marking head quickly, which ensures that line speeds are unaffected. As a result, up to 70 000 packs can be marked per
