The cosmetics industry continually provides products that elevate beauty, boost confidence, and deliver pivotal skincare advantages Yet, it’s imperative to underscore the significant responsibility this industry holds: safeguarding the health of consumers and the environment In recent times, the cosmetics arena has witnessed a series of transfor mative events, primarily driven by evolving regulations that have mandated a rethinking of traditional formulations and ingredients. These transformative events stem from heightened regulatory pressures to eliminate hard-to-replace ingredients, such as ethoxylated compounds, sunscreens, and silicones. Additionally, challenges arise from retailers, consumers, and NGOs urging the removal of non-easily substitutable ingredients, including preservatives, colorants, and chelating agents A notable obstacle is the constraint on testing, especially as the industry grapples with innovation amidst bans on animal testing and the absence of adequate alter natives. There’s an industry-wide push towards sustainability, seeking to ensure products are environmentally friendly without compromising on perfor mance, affordability, or sales. Amidst these challenges, potential solutions are considered. The exploration of alter native ingredients is paramount, focusing on both current options and forecasting future innovations A spotlight will also be cast on the transfor mative power of technologies like AI, elucidating its role in ingredient sourcing, product development, and safety evaluations. Attendees of this roundtable discussion can anticipate a wealth of insights They will acquire an in-depth grasp of the shifting dynamics of the cosmetics industry, empowering them to make well-infor med decisions and produce safer, more efficient products
The discussion will also delve into the potential of disruptive technologies like AI, aiding attendees in optimizing their operations Furthermore, participants will gain clarity on current and upcoming regulations, ensuring they remain agile in their responses. The event also promises ample networking opportunities, fostering new professional relationships and collaborations In essence, this roundtable serves as a compass, guiding stakeholders through the intricate maze of the cosmetics industry. W ith Perry Romanowski at the helm as the moderator, participants are set to embark on an enlightening jour ney, comprehending the industry’s past, present, and potential future trajectories

Sunscreen Formulations: Misconceptions and Future Direction for Innovation
June 3, 2024
8:00 a.m. –
6:00 p.m.
Chart House
Weehawken, NJ
The age of the Inter net has accelerated the spread of misinfor mation Further, it enables virtually anyone to become an author of inaccurate infor mation that can be transmitted to roughly 60% of the world’s population who have access to digital technology. False and misleading information has impacted every aspect of society including health care and the beauty industry Digital rumors and inaccurate data have caused numerous segments of society to become distrustful of science and scientific experts. The safety and efficacy of sunscreens is currently a hot topic that is subject to such misinfor mation, resulting in distrust of scientists responsible for ensuring the safety of skin care products. Social media assertions have ranged from claims that sunscreens are ineffective to allegations that they contain a cocktail of toxic ingredients which may cause more har m than benefit for the health of people In this symposium, we will address several controversial issues in the sun care space including concer ns about estrogens in sunscreen products as hor mone disruptors; the possibility that sunscreens penetrate skin at dangerous levels; and details surrounding environmental impacts of sunscreen use

The Rapid Advancement of Science Misinformation: How Serious Is It, How Can We Detect It, and What We Should Do as Scientists When We Encounter It
William L. Goodfellow (Principal Scientist and Practice Director, Exponent, Inc , Alexandria, VA)Misinfor mation has become an influential and growing problem within science communication. These can be simple online posts, an overstatement of sound bites in press releases and journal article abstracts, and maybe the most troubling, the known or unintentional agendas driven by pundits or other parties. Misinformation can also be deliberate and purposefully misleading or perhaps even more common, unintentional, or taken out of context and repeated for public consumption While it is often thought by scientists that we do not need to bother responding to misinfor mation when it is observed, it can be an important activity because it doesn’t allow misinfor mation to be the only message heard One possible contention is that infor med scientists are better equipped to continually address situations when science misinfor mation is encountered. As scientists, we also
(continued on Page 44)
encounter more entrenched and often deliberate misinfor mation through the wide-spread outbreak of predator jour nals (i e , rapid publication, lack of policies, broad scopes), that appear to have editorial boards or peer-review processes, but they do not exist. Many of these outlets publish articles that have clear advocacy agendas, using the opportunity to hide under the perceived cover of peer-reviewed literature. Science is under attack. Peer-reviewed papers are being retracted or labeled as “fake news ” . Often this pressure seems to be generated by social media networks without adequate facts or justification Scientists are blocked from speaking to the media, research funding is reduced, publication opportunities are denied, and policy decisions are being made that can under mine our ability to further explore the issue from a scientific perspective These decisions may be in direct conflict with the scientific evidence. What is even more disturbing is that some people and even some scientists seem to think that this is proper behavior They argue that the peer-reviewed science literature is flawed, that scientists do a poor job of self-correcting our mistakes, and these behaviors are needed steps toward progress.
As scientists, we can more effectively utilize our peer-reviewed jour nals, scientific annual meetings, focus topic meetings, and curated workshops to continually look for ways to provide forums and publishing opportunities citing, sharing, and building on relevant and accurate science infor mation that has been tested and continues to be cross-checked through the exchange and assessment of our scientific peers. However, the best way for us to address misinfor mation in science and its communication to decision makers is to identify examples when we encounter them and provide opportunities for discussion as to how to guard against the use of misinfor mation when it is observed Two categories of actions can be taken, one being preemptive pre-bunking of scientific misinfor mation and the other de-bunking of scientific misinfor mation when it is encountered This presentation’s goal is to provide examples where misinfor mation has been observed and provide potential resolutions when it is encountered. These examples can serve as “best practices” that we can effectively implement to address misinfor mation in science communication

Bioavailability of Ingredients from Topically Applied Product – Relevance of In Vitro Methods to the Design and Characterization of Sunscreen Products Throughout their Product Lifecycle
Sam Raney, Ph.D. (Associate Director for Science in the FDA’s Office of Research and Standards, Chief Scientific Advisor for topical product bioequivalence issues in FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs FDA)
The relative bioavailability of ingredients from topically applied semisolid for mulations may be important to characterize in various situations. For example, when comparing different for mulations of a product, it may be important to assess whether there is a difference in the rate and extent to which an active ingredient per meates into the skin This is a common situation in generic drug product development, and efficient in vitro methods have been developed to assess the quality and perfor mance characteristics of topical semisolid products This presentation will discuss the results of recent research that helped to elucidate the relationships between the physical and structural properties of a topical semisolid product and the rate and extent to which active and inactive ingredients per meate into the skin. The presentation will encourage attendees to consider the potential relevance of these in vitro methods to the design and characterization of sunscreen products throughout their product lifecycle (including refor mulations)

Why Modifying the Surface of Zinc Oxide is Important for Reducing Whiteness, Improved Aesthetics, and Higher SPF
Yannick Rigg (Technical Marketing Manager, V izor Sun, Middlesex, New Jersey)
The growing reliance on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide stems from concer ns surrounding the regulatory and environmental aspects of organic UV filters However, this shift has brought to light various challenges associated with these particulates A key aspect of addressing these challenges involves enhancing the performance of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide through manipulating formulations to improve effectiveness, efficacy, and transparency.
An essential aspect of the solution entails modifying the surface of these metal oxides to enhance dispersibility, minimize agglomeration, and improve transparency Ultimately, this leads to enhanced absorbance and scattering properties, resulting in higher SPF per unit of these oxides By carefully selecting surface modifiers and refining coating methods, achieving this solution becomes feasible
This presentation will delve into the nuances of coating these particles, with a particular focus on zinc oxide. You will discover how various coatings and coating methods can imbue the resulting material with a diverse range of functional properties, and how these properties significantly impact the perfor mance of your for mulations in ter ms of SPF, aesthetics, and minimizing whitening effects
n Yannick RiggMr. Rigg is one of the Technical Leads at Vizor, the zinc oxide company that has delivered several innovations in the sun care space. At Vizor, he was one of the earliest employees and was responsible for the research and development that went into creating the two patents that the company currently holds He continues to lead the innovation efforts and supports both research and data initiatives in partnership with 3rd party testing laboratories, as well as researchers globally His experience spans 15 years across various R&D functions, including but not limited to material coating technology. He is a scientist by discipline and has a master’s degree in Atmospheric Science When he is not pouring through data or putting in long hours in the lab, he enjoys travel, classic cars, and New York sports
Results of Sunscreen Evaluations for Skin Absorption of UV Filters
Yang Yang, Ph.D. (Research Staff Fellow, FDA-CDER-Office of Phar maceutical Quality)
Sunscreen safety has been under the spotlight of the U S FDA in recent years Sunscreen products are for mulated to act locally following der mal application to protect the skin from UV damage However, a series of clinical studies conducted by the FDA revealed that certain chemical UV filters were detected in systemic circulation. Therefore, the FDA recommends sunscreen developers to submit clinical data before marketing new products. This presentation will give an overview of FDA inter nal studies on sunscreens, including in vitro testing method development, in vitro-in vivo correlations, and critical quality attributes that affect the absorption of chemical UV filters These studies infor m the stake holders on what to consider when conducting sunscreen research to shorten the development time required to market safe and effective sunscreens for millions of users

Designing Mineral-Based Sunscreens— A Design Strategy to Create Zinc Oxide-Based Products That Consumers Want to Use
Jeroen van den Bosch (Managing Director, Uviva Technologies GmbH, Duisburg, Ger many)
Mineral sunscreens, in particular zinc oxide-based versions, have gained in popularity in recent years This is partly a result of the U S FDA’s classification of only TiO2 and ZnO as ‘GRAS’ filters, and of these two, only ZnO provides true broad-spectrum protection. Zinc oxide-based sunscreens also fit into a more natural and safer sunscreen space that is finding its way into all types of SPF products
Working with zinc oxide however, also poses several challenges It is not always easy to for mulate, is not a simple “drop-in” product, and testing mineral-based sunscreens poses its own list of challenges In addition, many mineral-based products on the market today are aesthetically non-pleasing, driving consumers to not use or reapply these products In some cases, it is recommended (e g , by influencers) to apply lower amounts than advised to avoid a white cast, which brings along a myriad of health and safety concerns
This presentation will give an overview of different elements that are key success factors for developing well-perfor ming zinc oxide-based sunscreens, including choice of the right grade(s), for mulating guidelines, testing principles, and several design strategies to create stable and high perfor ming SPF products with the right level of UVA protection for global compliance. And, not unimportant, creating products that are aesthetically pleasing so that consumers will want to use them and reapply regularly
n Jeroen van den Bosch
Jeroen has been involved in the development of ultrafine zinc oxide products, applications, and regulatory approvals for close to 25 years He started his career in an R&D capacity at Umicore where he focused on the development of a range of zinc oxide products for sunscreens and industrial applications and the development of dispersion and particle sizing techniques for nano-sized materials From R&D he moved into various business development roles with a focus on sunscreen applications and has been responsible for the growth and development of what later became EverCare. He is now heading up Uviva Technologies and offers innovative suncare products to the market Jeroen was one of the driving forces in the Cosmetics Europe consortium responsible for the approval of zinc oxide as a UV filter in Europe back in 2012 and has been involved in various discussions and working groups at the European level
Evaluating Sunscreen Impact on the Environment: EPA’s Path Forward
Sandy Raimondo, Ph.D. (Senior Research Ecologist, U S Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development, Gulf Ecosystem Measurement and Modeling Division, Gulf Breeze, FL)
Recent concer ns about the potential toxicity of sunscreen active ingredients (UV filters) on aquatic organisms led to a National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report evaluating the state of the science on the environmental impacts of UV filters. The NASEM report, released August 2022, recommended the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conduct an ecological risk assessment (ERA) of marketed sunscreen UV filters in aquatic environments Following a review of the NASEM report, the EPA has deter mined that robust, quality data are lacking for a defensible ERA Much of the data published on the effects of UV filters on aquatic organisms
(continued on Page 48)
are based on non-standard test designs, endpoints with limited interpretability, are not applicable within the U S EPA ERA framework, and do not adhere to best practices nor follow the EPA’s data quality standards
This presentation will provide a summary of the challenges for conducting an ERA with the current state of the science and provide an overview of the EPA’s next steps in ensuring robust, quality-assured data will infor m defensible assessments of UV filters in the environment The presentation includes an overview of the ERA process for non-risk assessors to understand what to expect from an assessment of UV filters in marine systems.

Addressing Limitations, Challenges and Next Steps in Determining the Environmental Risk of Sunscreens
Carys L. Mitchelmore, Ph.D. (Professor and Interim Director, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Solomons, MD)
Sunscreens are important for human health but contain chemicals which may enter the environment either directly or indirectly during and/or after use, such as the active ingredient UV filters The 2022 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report called for the U S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct an environmental risk assessment for all UV filter active ingredients contained in sunscreens marketed in the U S Since that report, an increasing number of studies have been published that have focused on the environmental detection and impact of UV filters to an array of freshwater and marine organisms.

Dr Mitchelmore is a Professor and the Interim Director at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, Maryland Her expertise is in environmental health and aquatic toxicology and her research emphasis is on understanding exposure, fate, and effects of pollutants in resident organisms Research is directed towards the detection of chemical contaminants in various environmental matrices and understanding their routes of exposure, uptake and bioaccumulation, metabolism, mechanisms of toxicity, and implications to organism and ecosystem health Research includes toxicity testing for application to environmental risk assessment, regulation, and management activities and providing solutions to applied environmental problems Recent investigations have focused on the chemical partitioning, fate, and effects of organic UV filters (active ingredients in sunscreens) in numerous invertebrate and vertebrate species, but especially in sensitive and understudied corals.
Dr Mitchelmore has served on numerous National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Committees, including the recent study “Review of Fate, Exposure, and Effects of Sunscreens in Aquatic Environments and Implications for Sunscreen Usage and Human Health (2022)”. Dr. Mitchelmore received her Ph D from the University of Bir mingham (U K ) in 1997 investigating the metabolism and effects of organic contaminants to aquatic organisms
Sun and Skin: Impact of Ultraviolet and Visible Light on Structure and Function
Buu Duong, M.D. (President and Co-Founder, Sūneco Technologies) and Ross Lane Pearlman, M.D. (CEO and Co-Founder, Sūneco Technologies)
Electromagnetic radiation from the sun profoundly impacts the structure and function of human skin The impact of solar radiation on cutaneous tissues is a function of wavelength and frequency The primary endogenous chromophore of higher frequency ultraviolet light (UVB) in the skin is DNA. UV-induced DNA damage in skin accelerates photocarcinogenesis resulting in clinical disease including cutaneous malignancies Sunscreens are an essential tool for primary prevention of skin cancer UVA is less energetic than UVB but penetrates directly through the epider mis and into the der mis. The effects of UVA on skin include free-radical damage, immunosuppression, and modification of gene expression The clinical result of these changes is described as photoaging and presents as dyspigmentation, volume loss, and fine lines. Understanding of the impact of visible light including blueviolet light on skin is evolving and remains controversial Emerging evidence suggests that blue light may induce melanogenesis and exacerbate skin conditions related to hyperpigmentation such as melasma. There remains a critical need for innovations that facilitate broad-spectrum photoprotection and development of sunscreen technologies to promote skin health

Microbiome Friendly, 24/7 Protect + Repair for Improved Skin Health
Ratan K. Chaudhuri (President and CEO, Sytheon, Parsippany, New Jersey)
While suncare focuses predominantly on protection against erythema, the emphasis of photoaging simultaneously encompasses both skin protection plus skin repair In this regard, current sunscreens have many shortcomings, especially in the U S market To address these shortcomings, and better maintain skin’s overall health, sunscreens need to be

supplemented with ingredients that can uphold the philosophy of “24/7 protect + repair skin”
Acetylation is an essential reaction in the body for reprogramming proteins and for regulating and transcribing DNA. For example, with histone, a family of basic proteins that associates with DNA to for m chromatin, acetylation activates genes whereas deacetylation silences them Taking this as a lead, we leveraged acetylation to create a well-defined small molecule inspired by nature as an innovative new ingredient for skin care, called acetyl zingerone
In this presentation, we chronical the multiple properties of acetyl zingerone as a single skincare ingredient within a formulation to: (1) help manage overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through multiple routes as an antioxidant, physical quencher, selective chelator, oxidase inhibitor, and antioxidant defense system booster; (2) fortify protection after UV exposure to stop against the type of epidermal DNA damage that correlates with development of skin cancer; (3) modulate matrisome genes/proteins and generally nurture the integrity of the extracellular matrix within the dermis; (4) reduce senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity and reverse senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) (senomorphic); (5) boost pro-longevity AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) which is responsible for cellular energy homeostasis and function as a metabolic tumor suppressor; and (6) balance skin microbiome.
Acetyl zingerone is also photostable and can sustain its properties during UV exposure, in contrast to α-tocopherol and many other cosmetic ingredients. All these properties help translate use of acetyl zingerone into measurable clinical benefits that improve the visual appearance of photoaged facial skin and that strengthen skin’s own defenses against sun damage
Overall, our findings suggest that addition of acetyl zingerone to skincare for mulations can provide a translational step forward towards development of more efficacious and multi-targeted products to treat and prevent the consequences of intrinsic and sun-induced skin aging, thereby to promote longevity of skin health
