TClimate Change and Ingredients Sourcing

…Giorgio Dell’Acqua

he acceleration of climate change driven events is creating increasing pressure on the environment and living organisms that depend upon it with consequences that will be hard to fix or reverse in the future Every living organism that is exposed to environmental changes is impacted. We need to understand the overall scenario to put in place effective actions to mitigate the changes that will affect the environment as we know it and the way we source natural ingredients for cosmetic use. The call for action is now

Global War ming

We exist in a thin layer of the atmosphere, up to seven miles above sea level. Life has been preserved for millions of years with the right conditions of temperature and air, mostly nitrogen and oxygen, but also greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide that when released in the atmosphere contribute to stabilize the right temperature for living organisms However, since the industrial revolution in the late 1800s, increased bur ning of coal, oil, and natural gas has caused more carbon dioxide to be released in the atmosphere, eventually trapping the heat with the consequence of increasing the earth’s temperature a process referred as global war ming Extreme weather has also triggered melting of glaciers and polar ice caps as well as contributed to sea level rise. In the U.S., greenhouse gas emissions linked to global war ming have been associated with transportation, electricity production, industry, residential/commercial heating, and agricultural practices 1

Climate Change and Its Effect on Plant Growth

A plant needs water, air, sunlight, optimal temperature, and the right soil to properly grow. Climate change is affecting all these elements except for sunlight While most of the water on earth is saltwater from the ocean, only 3% is fresh water (glaciers, groundwater, lakes, rivers, etc ) A war mer climate is causing increased water evaporation, eventually trapped in the atmosphere Cycles of rain are altered leading to dry areas becoming drier and wet areas wetter. Plants find it difficult to adapt to these changes and in dry areas, far mers need more and more ground water to sustain irrigation

As the level of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, plants grow faster; however, weeds also do so and become difficult to control Plant-feeding insects are proliferating due to the decrease in plant nutritional value and increase in sugar content when plants are grown in a higher carbon dioxide atmosphere This decrease in nutritional value is a concer n for the human diet but also for other uses (such as cosmetics and supplements) as their ingredient quality is affected Plants contain less protein, zinc, iron, and vitamins, especially B vitamins 2,3

Temperature changes during nighttime or daytime alter the nor mal growth of plants and their reproductive (continued on Page 6)

Letter from the Chair …Amber

Ican’t believe we are already halfway through this year, with the first six months being amazing, culminating with our 45th Annual Suppliers’ Day on May 1st and 2nd Our main event shattered all records in attendance, education, and engagement Please read the full recap in this issue and watch the highlight reel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2ZNLBNq7QE) to relive all the excitement and energy our incredible industry radiated under one roof at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

The NYSCC continued to promote cosmetic science and innovation after the event with our sponsorship and presence at the WWD CEO Beauty Summit in Miami. We networked with more than 300 C-level beauty industry executives and powerhouses and were inspired by speakers that included Kris Jenner, Tommy Hilfiger, Anastasia Soare, and Courteney Cox Themed “Expanding Minds and Creating Opportunities,” we will be able to apply what we lear ned in the months ahead

We also participated in two face-to-face events with students and faculty at on-campus chemistry and STEM programs The NYSCC spoke about careers in cosmetic science and shared literature on the Chapter’s resources and SCC National membership. Additionally, the new NYSCC Inter nship Program has officially kicked off with nine undergraduate students starting summer internships with seven companies across our industry Read more about our new Outreach Committee activities and Inter nship Program in this issue of Cosmetiscope.

Continuing our record-breaking streak, the June 3rd Sunscreen For mulations Symposium was our best attended monthly program to date. This full-day session addressed misconceptions as well as future innovations in this important product category and had posters and tabletops as part of the program

Please plan to join us on June 27th, when NYSCC celebrates Pride with an online webinar focused on diverse beauty rituals Participants will be able to delve into the fascinating world of cultural beauty routines and their connection to the current beauty market in North America Thank you to our Diversity and Inclusion Committee for spearheading this important conversation

This summer, I hope to see many of you at our upcoming social events the annual Golf Outing on July 29th and Fishing Trip and Seafood Boil on August 10th These fun-filled activities are a great way to relax and reconnect with fellow members and peers

Educational programming picks up again in September with Skin Care Inclusivity: Caring for Melanated Skin as well as future programs on Oral Health and Beauty and Pet Care and Grooming NYSCC Suppliers’ Day will also be on the road again supporting sister chapter events as well as the IFSCC Congress in Brazil and SCC Scientific Meeting and Showcase in Los Angeles

Please save the date and stay tuned for exciting details about our 70th Anniversary Gala and Education Night on November 16th at the iconic Plaza Hotel. This is one celebration you do not want to miss!

W ith so much more planned for the second half of this year, we are always looking for volunteers, please reach out if interested in becoming more involved with the NYSCC Chapter

Enjoy the summer!

See you soon!

45th Annual NYSCC Suppliers’ Day Achieves Record-Breaking Attendance

Our 45th Annual Suppliers’ Day came to a successful conclusion May 1st and 2nd at the Jacob K Javits Convention Center in New York City. Showcasing thousands of ingredients and raw materials on a sold-out exhibit floor that housed in excess of 103,000 net square feet of exhibits while attracting 11,085 registrants representing 72 countries, Suppliers’ Day 2024 enjoyed nearly an 8% increase in overall attendance more than a 35% increase since its move to New York City in 2017

“The beauty community truly showed up for Suppliers’ Day with our theme ‘Inspire Innovate Celebrate ’ evident end-to-end at the Javits Center,” said Amber Evans, NYSCC Chair “Every element of product development was on display and optimism and excitement for growth and innovation in all product categories was high ”

In addition to an exhibit floor that featured 567 exhibiting companies including 139 new exhibitors, the unique inclassroom technical and marketing education programs of Suppliers’ Day attracted 523 conference delegates, its largest audience to date Popular programs included the Scientific Advisory Committee curated courses on hair, biotechnology, and nutricosmetics, as well as sessions on fragrance, opportunities and challenges in the cosmetic industry, Chinese innovations, microbiome, and fragrance.

stages. W ith increased heat some plants grow faster, requiring farmers to better manage irrigation, planting, harvesting, etc. However, extreme heat is har mful to plants, especially during pollination, and the yield can decrease dramatically Many plants like winter exposure and war mer winters can reduce yield or select out many plant varieties In general, because of increasing heat, the plant cultivation geographical map is shifting, moving northward

Finally, climate change is also affecting the quality of the soil, which is essential for life development Healthy soil is a living system that sustains plants, animals, and humans.4 It contains billions of bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, spiders, and many other organisms which interact together and with the plant’s roots Soil contains organic matter, often derived from living organisms but also from plant decay (humus) This organic matter is vital for life and absorbs water optimally The symbiosis between the soil and the plant’s root is very important, and it helps keep the plant healthy. The quality of the soil translates to the quality of the plant and its products. Massive deforestation for land cultivation is depleting the soil and carbon is released in the atmosphere instead of being kept in the soil

Some Examples of Plant Disruptions

Many plants providing ingredients for our cosmetic products grow in coastal zones, such as 70% of coconuts trees These zones are threatened by rising seas Moreover, scientists studying coconut plants have shown a negative impact on growth by rising temperatures.5 The cultivation and yield of lavender, jasmine, and rose in Grasse, France has been seriously affected recently by more extreme weather, including droughts.6 These plants are indispensable to produce essential oils for the fragrance industry. Medicinal plants are more and more popular in our industry due to a wellness push Numerous species of medicinal plants grow on mountains and many of them are difficult to cultivate War mer temperatures are threatening most species, pushing species to adapt and grow at higher altitudes to remain viable with species not able to adapt and possibly in danger of disappearing 7 Basic life is also changing in the ocean. Phytoplankton and algae are declining due to a war mer ocean and efficiency in photosynthesis is affected 8 W ith declining fishing and algae availability in the arctic sea due to climate change effects on temperature and El Niño driving the jet stream northward, global sourcing of omega-3 has been challenged with main production shifting to indoor algae cultivation and fer mentation 9

Conclusions

Climate change is real and we as an industry need to work with our suppliers to sustain our ingredients sourcing Development of climate change resistant species, vertical and cellular far ming to balance the pressure on cultivation and wild picking, and optimization of plant usage by improved extraction and process methodology are urgently needed to reduce the demand on the classical supply chain and implement a more sustainable use of resources
