2014: The NYSCC Year in Review… by Steve Neidenberg, NYSCC Chair
ur Chapter’s dedicated volunteers filled this past calendar year with many wonderful opportunities for us to come together, learn, and socialize. We had eleven major events in 2014. The only months without a meeting, symposium, or social event were January, August, and November. In February and May we actually had two events. For the first time in many years, we added an extra special event in December to support and complement the Annual SCC Scientific Meeting in New York City. As you might imagine, there is always much behind-the-scenes work involved in planning and organizing each of these events. On the pages that follow there is a brief summary of the year with acknowledgments and gratitude given to the cadre of volunteers and speakers who participated in making each one of our events special. If you would like to be part of one of these committees in the future (check out the 2015 Events Calendar in this issue) you will find it extremely rewarding and fun to give something back to the industry that keeps us gainfully employed. We can always use more help and new ideas. If this is something that you are contemplating, I invite you to contact a board or committee member to find out more. Our annual Suppliers’ Day is the largest and most anticipated trade show for the personal care industry in North America. The proceeds from this mega-event allow us subsidize our educational events, making them affordable for our members. The activities of the National organization and its eighteen regional chapters are scientific, educational or charitable in scope. Much appreciation goes to the volunteers and paid professionals that make Suppliers’ Day so successful year after year. Specifically, I would like to thank Danielle Kennedy (Kobo Products), Sandy Chapin (Allured), Juliana Rumbaugh (Lonza), Jeff Crume (Lubrizol), Gillian Ratto (L'Oréal), Victor Low (Lonza), Carolyn Curtin (Curtin Productions), Karl Bitner (Albert Kemperle), Andrea Guerrero (Gattefossé USA), John Carola (Protameen), Monica Haltrecht (Lubrizol), Debbie McCarthy (Kobo Products), Josh Wolfman (All Ingredients Plus), Judi Grossman (IFC Solutions), Doug Krysiak (Croda), Alison Griffin (EMD Chemicals), Jim Lynch (Ultra Chemical), Sharon Martin (Mary Kay Cosmetics), Sylvain Maur (Lucas Meyer Cosmetics), Stephanie MacDonald (Dow Corning), and Kyle Gormley (EES Cosmetic Solutions). Administratively, this year the New York and other chapters became incorporated to protect our financial assets and our volunteers from liabilities. Thank you to my entire board for their input and cooperation with our legal representation to draft the necessary documents and put them into effect. Also, we updated our By-Laws to reflect how we currently operate today. Thank you to all those involved. (Continued on page 4)

Ethan Glor Kinetic Facilitation of Interfaces in Thin Entangled Polymer Films
Abstract:
A
morphous polymeric materials are used in a wide array of technologies ranging from organic electronics to structural components of airplanes. As many of these technologies trend towards nanometer length scales, it is imperative to have a fundamental understanding of the properties of polymer glasses at the length scale, geometry, and environment of the application. Recent work in polymer physics shows that the structural relaxation time near a free surface of a thin polystyrene film is significantly different from that of the bulk polymer. This can have a large influence on their properties. For instance, studies have shown that polystyrene thin films exhibit a decreased glass transition temperature (Tg) as the thickness decreases below 60 nm. A puzzling aspect of this phenomenon is that most studies indicate that there is no molecular weight dependence on Tg reduction in supported films, while the same phenomenon in freestanding polystyrene films shows strong molecular weight dependence. In this study, we use cooling-rate dependent Tg measurements to indirectly probe the relaxation dynamics of thin polystyrene films, and show they are directly influenced by the dynamics of the free surface. Furthermore, we show that the relaxation dynamics of supported polystyrene films slow down slightly as the molecular weight of polystyrene is increased.

Elizabeth Kaufman The Effect of Generation on Cellular Uptake of Dendrimers
Speaker: Topic:
PTFE Additives for Personal Care Products
Beauty is More Than Skin Deep
Abstract:
P
oly(amide)-based dendrimers have shown potential as scaffolds for cell delivery agents when used in conjunction with the peptide gH625, a peptide encompassing 625–644 residues of the glycoprotein H of herpes simplex virus 1. The peptide has been shown to transport cargo across cell membranes as well as have mild antiviral activity in vitro. Dendrimers were chosen as a scaffold due to the modular nature of their synthesis. The synthesis of mono-functionalized dendrimers has been explored and optimized by our research group. It has been shown that when covalently attached to the termini of a second-generation (one having 18 termini) dendrimer scaffold, the chosen peptide enters cells more efficiently. Varying the generation of dendrimers may give dendrimer-based delivery systems an advantage over traditional linear polymeric systems. An array of dendrimer scaffolds with varying termini onto which the active peptide can be attached was synthesized. For comparison testing, linear analogs to the first and second-generation dendrimers were synthesized. Cell studies are planned to determine the most efficient transmembrane transport system.

n NYSCC Ski Trip – February 7, 2014 This year’s NYSCC Ski Trip took place on February 7, 2014 at Windham Mountain in New York. Cathy Piterski and Gillian Ratto organized the event, which was a great success. There were thirty-five NYSCC members who participated in the event amounting to over ninety SCC members including those who participated from the Long Island chapter. All had much fun and no one got hurt, which is always a good thing at a ski event.
n Joint Meeting with the Chinese-American Cosmetics Professionals Association – February 19, 2014 The February 2014 NYSCC monthly meeting was the second annual joint meeting with the Chinese-American Cosmetic Professionals Association (CACPA). After a rescheduled date due to a snowstorm, the meeting was held on Wednesday, February 19th at the China Bowl King restaurant in Edison, NJ. In honor of the Chinese New Year (Year of the Horse), the meeting was organized as a traditional Chinese banquet consisting of table service for a twelve course meal. Our speaker was Dr. Sue Feng, Revlon Vice-president of Global Color Cosmetics, Skin Care and Third-Party Manufacturing. Dr. Feng’s presentation addressed the market trends in Asia with specific examples of the hottest and fastest growing topics and how they became success stories in the Asian markets. There were 92 guests in attendance. I would like to thank all of the NYSCC & CACPA volunteers that assisted with this event. Special thanks need to be given to Brian Hom (Ruger Chemical), Sue Feng (Revlon), Evelyn Su (Sino Lion), John Carola (Protameen), Amy Marshall (Altana), and Judith Bernabe (Gattefossé USA) for being so responsive and flexible when Mother Nature decided that February 5th was not a good day to go out for dinner. n NYSCC Rheology Symposium – March 19-20, 2014 The response to the Chapter’s first full-day rheology symposium in 2012 was tremendous. The topic was of such great interest to our members that the turnout exceeded our expectations and the capacity of the Liberty Science Center. Unfortunately, we had to close registration at 225 attendees leaving many disappointed. This year the Rheology Symposium Committee planned a more ambitious two-day symposium at a new venue, the campus of Princeton University, with an auditorium seating capacity of 300 persons. Attendance topped 250. The first day gave attendees the option to choose between taking one or both condensed half-day S.C.C. Continuing Education Courses (Denis Laba taught Cosmetic Rheology and Dr. Robert Lochhead taught Gums, Thickeners and Rheology Modifiers) and listening to 16 experts give short 10minute talks similar to the popular Ted Talks on the Internet. On the second day we learned from eight more subject matter experts giving more in-depth and detailed talks each about 40 minutes in length. The symposium’s keynote speaker was Robert Bianchini, Ph.D. (VP Innovation Merck) who presented “The Importance of Rheology to a Successful Product Development Plan.” The symposium also included a Social Gala Reception on the first evening and an evening Educational Program on the second day. People who could not break away from work for one or two full days could register just for one or both evening programs if they chose. Scheduled for the first evening was Gary Agisim (Pfizer) to present “Stick it to the Stick: Insights and Advances in Lip Balm Structure and Testing Methodologies.” Dr. Robert Lochhead graciously accepted a last minute invitation to talk on the history of polymers of acrylic acid and other extremely interesting topics when Gary had to cancel due to illness. We sincerely hope our good friend Gary recovers quickly. The SCC is fortunate to have him as a past president of the SCC and prolific scientific contributor for so many years. On the second evening Dr. Trefor Evans (TA

Evans LLC) presented “Use of the Viscoelastic Properties of Hair in the Elucidation of its Complex Structure.” In total, the committee gathered over 28 industry and rheology experts for us. Thank you to all of the presenters who came to share their knowledge. Participation by instrument vendors demonstrating their rheometers and ingredient suppliers presenting scientific posters further increased our knowledge and also helped defray costs. We are always appreciative of their support for our Chapter events. Thank you to entire Rheology Committee for their efforts: • Chair – Joseph Albanese (3V Inc.) • Co-Chair and Instrument Vendors – Daphne Benderly (Presperse) • Catering – Daria Long (Inolex) • Poster Session - Steve Fantano (Mobius Sales Group) and Bruce Kaduk (3V) • Peer Review – Roger McMullen and Timothy Gillece (both of Ashland, Inc.) • Hotel and Travel – Jenna Jelinski (Extracts & Ingredients) • Registration – John Carola (Protameen) Lastly, we would be remiss if we did not also thank and acknowledge the support and sponsorship of our host, Professor Dr. Robert Prud’homme of Princeton University. With his endorsement the university waived their normal $15 per person fee for the two-day use of campus facilities. Thus cutting the NYSCC’s costs by about $3,700. n Plant Science Seminar – April 23, 2014 A seminar on Plant Science for renewable actives was held April 23, 2014 at the Seasons in Washington Township, NJ. The attendees had an opportunity to learn about the power of plant science and unique actives ingredients that can be generated. Dr. John Greaves (Kemin) presented on the power of plant science. He demonstrated how Kemin’s specialty crop improvement (SCI) initiative is focused on breeding specific clonal lines and cultivars of a number of plant species with optimized hyper-accumulation of specific bioactive molecules for use in food, nutrition, health, personal care, and household applications. Dr. Satish Nayak (Kemin) discussed the role of plants in producing antioxidants to counter negative oxidative reactions. By using novel methodologies he demonstrated how these antioxidants can be extracted from various biological sources such as plants and algae for use by humans in various applications such as foods, medicines, and cosmetics. Thanks to our speakers and to those committee members that made this a very successful seminar! • Program Chair – Cathy Piterski (Essential Ingredients) • Seminar Chair – Marsha Bro (Kemin) • Media Chair – Johanna Gigliotti (Soliance) • House Chair – Andrea Guerrero (Gattefossé USA) n Cosmetics in Contemporary Brazil – May 12, 2014 A daylong seminar on Cosmetics in Contemporary Brazil was held May 12, 2014 at the Renaissance Woodbridge. The 200 attendees appreciated this educational extension of the Suppliers’ Day experience. A member of the rising economic powers, otherwise known as the BRIC nations, and a significant emerging market, Brazil is Latin America's largest economy and the fifth largest country in the world with a population estimated to be about 200 million. Brazil is a major consumer of personal care products and fragrances. As more companies need to reach new markets, a greater understanding of consumer preferences, important product types, and regulatory issues in this vast and growing market is essential. The program was packed with interesting speakers and topics. The international theme of the May seminar began in 2013 with a program on Chinese regulatory affairs and continues in 2015 with a program on the Indian personal care industry. Experts from the target country give special insight into a key emerging market and these seminars have made the week of Suppliers’ Day an even more valuable destination for our industry. Special gratitude is due to Steve Herman (Continued on page 6) (Fairleigh Dickinson University) for organizing this event. V O L U M E

n NYSCC Antioxidant Symposium – June 5, 2014 On June 5th, the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists hosted the first ever Antioxidant Symposium at the New York Academy of Sciences located in Building 7 of the recently constructed World Trade Center Complex. Among the splendid views from the 40th floor of one of the World Trade Center towers, there were over 240 attendees present at the event. The scientific program consisted of a series of 15 lectures throughout the day and a concurrent poster technology session including 18 participant companies and institutions. There was equal representation from finished goods companies, suppliers, and academic institutions for both the poster session and podium lectures. In the early part of the day, lectures by Drs. Roger L. McMullen and Edward Pelle set the pace for the symposium. This was followed by heated discussions on the influence of dietary phytochemicals on skin health. After lunch, the keynote lecture was delivered by the eminent Prof. Dr. Jean Krutmann of IUF – Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine, who discussed the damaging effects of infrared radiation on the skin—a novel technological area within the field of antioxidants. Later on, an intriguing presentation by Dr. Karen Burke, affiliated with Mt. Sinai Medical Center and a practicing dermatologist in New York City, was well received for its scientific merits and insight into pioneering antioxidant technologies. There was also an introduction to the business side of antioxidants presented by Mr. Nikola Matic—a market analyst from Kline & Company. Poster prizes were given for 1st and 2nd place—two prizes in each place. The two 1st place prizes of $1,500 were awarded to Dr. Diana Change of Rutgers University and Drs. Ed Pelle and Qi Zhang of Estée Lauder Companies. The two 2nd place prizes of $1,000 were awarded to Dr. Jean-Marie Botto of Ashland Specialty Ingredients (Vincience Skin Research Institute) and Mr. Julian Silverman of City College of New York, CUNY. The NYSCC Antioxidant Symposium was also attended by the IFSCC Praesidium—the governing body of the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists. Twice per year they meet together to discuss important IFSCC issues. This year they elected to hold their spring meeting in New York City in conjunction with the NYSCC Antioxidant Symposium. In addition, the IFSCC sponsored one of the symposium speakers—Dr. Martina Meinke from Klinik fur Dermatologie, Berlin, Germany who spoke about: Changes in Cutaneous Radical Scavenging Activity after Topical and Systemic Application of Antioxidants. All attendees of the event went home with a program booklet containing all of the symposium presentations and poster abstracts as well as a textbook entitled Antioxidants and the Skin. Throughout the day, the auditorium was at full capacity. There was not a free seat in the house, not even during the closing remarks of the symposium. Overall, the day was a great success. It was one of the best events ever put together by the NYSCC. The NYSCC Executive Board would like to express its sincere gratitude to the planning committee for this event: • Chair – Roger L. McMullen, Ph.D. (Ashland, Inc.) • Poster Session – Bret Clark (Ashland, Inc.) • Hotel and Travel – Yelena Zolotarsky (Sensient) • Registration – John Carola (Protameen) • Publications – Daphne Benderly, Ph.D. (Presperse) • Catering – Jenna Jelinski (Extracts & Ingredients) • Adviser – Joe Albanese (3V) n Golf Outing – July 28, 2014 This year’s golf outing was a big hit with record breaking attendance at the event. This year we played at a new location, The Royce Brook Golf Club in Hillsborough, NJ. There were a few special new components to the outing. First, we dedicated one of the Closest to the Pin awards to Alan Farer (Coty) and renamed it the “Alan Farer – Go For The Green” prize. Second, we had a fund raiser for Ken Lesenko (RITA) dedicated to his

grandson. The funds raised—about $1,000—will help offset the cost of future medical procedures for Ken’s grandson who was the victim of a burn accident. Many thanks to Alissa Frontauria (Energizer), Kathleen Landherr (S.M.A. Collaboratives), Kevin O’Brien, and Chair John DeNoia, Jr. (John R DeNoia Jr & Associates) for making this event a success. n NYSCC Culinary Event – September 18, 2014 The 6th Annual Culinary Event was another big hit as guests prepared scrumptious appetizers such as Caramelized Onion Quiche, Wild Mushroom Truffles, and Salmon Croquette from this year’s French menu theme. All 121 guests also enjoyed Bistro Steak Au Poivre and Ratatouille entrees and for dessert, a Classic Tarte Tartin. This success is largely thanks to committee members, Andrea Guerrero (Gattefossé USA), Amy Marshall (Altana), and Danielle DeWolf (DeWolf Chemicals), who chose a great venue, MidTown Loft, complete with a terrace with a full 360-view of Manhattan. Thanks is also due to the caterer, My Cooking Party, who have over the years provided a truly memorable hands-on cooking experience for the NYSCC.

n Sun Exposure Symposium: Implications & Protection of Skin – October 15, 2014 This year’s Sun Exposure Symposium, held at The Pines Manor in Edison, NJ, was another great success for the NYSCC in 2014. There was much participation from industry and academia. There were eight speakers, twenty-one vendors, twenty-five poster competitors, and 238 meeting attendees that participated in a lively and highly interactive full day event. The global experts presenting at this symposium shared their recent findings and strategies, expanding attendee’s knowledge of how to innovate their way to consumer desirable, regulatory compliant sunscreen products. Our sponsors made it possible to distribute two books and gift bags to all meeting attendees, and present awards to the poster competition winners. Special thanks go out to the entire committee for the event: • Chair – Laura A. Spaulding, Ph.D. (Mane USA) • Poster, Sponsors – Geng Li, Ph.D. (Energizer Personal Care) • Poster, Sponsors – Tao Zheng, Ph.D. (Energizer Personal Care) • Catering – Jenna Jelinski (Extract & Ingredients) • Speakers – Yun Shao, Ph.D. (Kobo Products) • Hotel and Travel – Yelena Zolotarsky (Sensient) • Publications – Roger L. McMullen, Ph.D. (Ashland, Inc.) • Registration – John Carola (Protameen) • Advisor – Joseph Albanese (3V) n 2014 December Holiday Party – December 11, 2014 Every year, the Society of Cosmetic Chemists holds its Annual Meeting and Technology Showcase in New York City inviting all members from the global cosmetic industry to come out to Manhattan. The event has always been highlighted by supplier-hosted dinners, suite parties, and cocktails. A yearly party by a supplier has always been one of the main attractions, always held at either Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock Café. A few years back, this party was cancelled. This year, the New York Chapter of the SCC decided to fill that void and invite all SCC members for a membership appreciation party to support and encourage networking and interaction between all SCC members. This party is completely sponsored by the New York chapter for all SCC members. This event could not have been a success without the planning and participation of our committee members: Alissa Frontauria (Energizer), Giorgino Macalino (Avon), Kristina Kannheiser (Ariel Laboratories), Joseph Dunn (Rossow USA), John Carola (Protameen), Judith (Continued on page 8) Bernabe (Sensient), and Michael Sharphouse (Ardmore).

Mr. Burns? Is That You?
…by Donald Koelmel y rough count, after 40 years in industry, I’ve averaged about one new supervisor a year. And no heart attacks, substance addictions, nor mental breakdowns—yet. Having experienced such a broad spectrum of personalities and styles, and despite my complete lack of any degrees in Business Administration, Psychology, or Philosophy, I feel extremely well qualified to opine on today’s topic: Boss versus Leader – How to Tell them Apart. It pretty much all comes down to behaviors. A Leader is NOT someone like “The Leader” from The Simpsons’ 1998 “The Joy of Sect” episode (you really can learn a lot from cartoons). That particular evil, brainwashing, dominating movementarian cult figure demonstrates quintessential Boss behavior. A genuine Leader encourages you to think for yourself, but not so much about yourself. True Leaders tend towards selfless goals. Selfishness is a top Boss priority. WD-40 Company (yes, they make that spray lubricant that’s in your toolbox) is a remarkably successful small company (no, I do not own their stock). I recall an interview with Garry Ridge, their CEO, where he described his company’s culture and how company managers viewed employees. “I am not here to grade you,” he said. “I am here to help you get an A.” A true Leader enables you to be your very best and emphasizes what could be tomorrow. A Boss defines you by scorekeeping, relishing every opportunity to remind you of past failures and shortcomings. Don’t forget, that Dunce of the Decade trophy has your name on it. A Boss loves certain communication tools, such as instantaneous soapboxes, bullhorns and multi-page, larger-than-life-sized font e-mails. And let’s not forget those mandatory, lock-the-doors, gather-around-thecozy-campfire, droning-on staff meetings. A Leader will have none of this drama. Straight up, eye-to-eye, with respect is a Leader’s way. Sadly, many are plagued with a Boss. What to do with your Mr. Burns? Simple. Fire da bum! You deserve better. Upgrade. Get yourself a Leader.
