un protection claims are no longer just confined to beach products any more. These NYSCC Culinary Event days all types of skin care products make 3 SPF claims with the protection coming from NYSCC Symposium Agenda various types of sun filters such as organic and inorganic ones. At the same time, it has been 4 uncovered that sun damage is not just limited to NYSCC Symposium UV light, but can also be attributed to high Event Location energy visible (HEV) light. This makes it very 4 important to understand the link between skin NYSCC Symposium health and sun exposure. Also, knowing the Registration Information regulatory status of the sun filters and the 4 formulation nuances helps in building an efficient system which “Extends Your Invisible Umbrella”, NYSCC Symposium thus letting you enjoy the sun for a longer period Speaker Abstracts of time. and Biographies This symposium promises to address the 5-9 topics of skin health, HEV protection, formulating NYSCC Sustainable with inorganic sun filters, and the regulatory Cosmetic Science Seminar status of the sunscreen filters.

ven though this Summer has not been the sunniest in the Tri-state area, I hope you have been wearing your sunscreen, as we all know UV rays are not blocked by clouds! I cannot believe it is September, and despite it still being the height of vacation time, at the NYSCC we have been busy planning for a very eventful Fall. As summer fades away we will still be quite engaged with the effects of the sun and skin care at our next full-day educational symposium “Extending Your Invisible Umbrella” on Wednesday, September 12th. This important program will take a deep dive into skin health, HEV protection, formulating with inorganic sun filters, and the regulatory status of sunscreen filters. A new alliance with MakeUp NY (https://makeup-in-newyork.com/events/conferences/) will allow us to offer technical and educational programming to the contract manufacturing/finished goods market at their event on September 13th. Touching on the hottest trends in ingredients for skin care, color cosmetics, and skin physiology, leaders from NYSCC’s Scientific Advisory Committee will discuss natural ingredients, use of polymers, and innovations combatting digital pollution. The NYSCC will continue supporting its sister organizations by participating at the SWSCC Suppliers’ Day on September 19th in Irving, TX. If you are out West, please stop by the NYSCC Suppliers’ Day booth and say hello. In September, the NYSCC has even more fun and interactive events planned including its popular Culinary Event on Wednesday, September 20th, and sponsoring the 30th IFSCC Congress in Munich, with this year’s NYSCC Educational Program and Suppliers’ Day winners scoring comp tickets to attend the event and be immersed in its theme, Cosmetics: Science for Beauty and Lifestyle. Coming up in October on the evening of the 17th in New York City, we will be hosting a press conference and reception to update our media partners on what is planned for Suppliers’ Day 2019, which takes place May 7th-8th at the Javits Convention Center. We have new programming, reaffirmed old partnerships, and confirmed some new ones. Our plans to expand and enhance our reach continue to be realized, and we thank all committee members for their continued support as we think and act creatively to achieve our goals. The popular educational symposium about what is new in sustainability (NYSCC Sustainable Cosmetic Science Seminar) will take place on October 23rd at one of our Chapter’s favorite venues, The Chart House in Weehawken, NJ. Marc Cornell is the symposium chair. A lot more is in store for our chapter members as we finish out the year with another fantastic educational event planned on November 7th entitled NYSCC Skin Barrier Disruption and Inflammation Seminar, which is chaired by Carine Mainzer. Of course, the year cannot end without a special event planned in December to coincide with the SCC’s 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting and Technology Showcase. Stay tuned for details as planning has just begun. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and enjoy the last bit of Summer, because the NYSCC has you covered!

our skin is considered the window to your soul. It is a protective barrier which is constantly under chemical and physical attack from the environment. As we age, the skin loses its ability to ward off toxins from entering our bodies. In this presentation we will first discuss basic skin structure and function and then examine the effects of sun as an agent of extrinsic skin aging. Finally, we will explore how aging and sun exposure may lead to structural damage and skin dysfunction. n Laurie

Sunscreen Regulations in the USA – Nadim Shaath, Ph.D. (Alpha Research and Development)
T
he lack of adequate regulations still festers in the land and is not being properly addressed by the FDA nor the recently approved Sunscreen Innovation Act (SIA). More than three years after it was signed into law by President Barack Obama, the SIA was supposed to amend the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to establish an expedited process for the review and approval of over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreens. Since 1999, the FDA has not approved a single new active ingredient in sunscreens despite the fact that at least a half dozen other UV filters exist in Europe and the rest of the world that adequately protect against UVA radiation. The SIA created a process through which sunscreen manufacturers could get the so-called eight pending TEA (Time and Extent Applications) approved through an administrative order, and that order would then be added to the Final Monograph. When the FDA was finally forced by SIA to approve the ingredients that were introduced over a dozen years through the TEA process, they summarily rejected all eight! Further, the FDA proposed additional complicated and controversial testing for adopting new ingredients into the U.S. market. Now, the U.S. Congress is debating an amended OTC (Continued on page 6)

Formulating Zinc Oxide Under the Current FDA Labeling Requirement – Carolyn Ortiz (Kobo)
T
he primary and secondary particle sizes of zinc oxide (ZnO) have been shown to have a great effect on its attenuation of UVA and UVB. However, their effect on the critical wavelength (CW) has not been studied thoroughly, and this understanding is needed for achieving a CW of 370 nm for claiming broad spectrum protection. In this work, ZnO of various particle sizes were tested as sole or cosunscreen actives. It is clear that the particle size of ZnO has a strong impact on its UVA and UVB attenuation pattern. Unlike in vivo testing where an optimal size range exists for a high UVA score, CW always increases as size becomes larger. When combined, organic sunscreens in high SPF products’ optimal particle size for in vivo score was found not to be as effective for critical wavelength and very large particle size needs to be used for achieving broad spectrum protection. However, when ZnO is used combination with titanium dioxide (TiO2), a broad spectrum SPF 30+ product can be readily formulated. After all, due to the particulate nature of ZnO, the effect of size on SPF, CW, and aesthetics should be considered in formulation strategy. n Carolyn

Enhanced Protection in Sun Care: UV and Beyond – Rhythm Sharma (Croda Inc.)
T
he short-term damaging effects of UV radiation to skin are well recognized by the reddening, blistering, and burning that occurs as a result of over exposure to sunlight. New regulations for sunscreens have built on the requirement for good UVB protection (Sun Protection Factor) by including the requirement for UVA protection. In Europe, the minimum UVA protection is one third of the total SPF, while in the U.S. the FDA has incorporated the 370 nm critical wavelength test into regulation. The long-term effects of exposure to UVA radiation have been linked to skin aging, wrinkling, and vascular and lymphatic damage. More recently, scientific investigations have focused on the effects of longer wavelength radiation, such as high energy visible light (HEV) and infrared radiation absorption by skin. This talk presents results to demonstrate the effects of UVA, UVB, and HEV light absorption on synthetic skin substitutes using a novel technique based on electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Skin substitutes, containing the ESR spin trap DMPO, were placed in an ESR chamber and irradiated with band widths of light across the UV and HEV spectrum. Skin protected by an inorganic UVA filter showed a 70% reduction in the formation of the protein radical-adduct compared to skin protected by the same sunscreen

composition without UV filter. Infrared radiation has become of interest due to studies highlighting the contribution it plays in accelerated skin ageing and oxidative stress. The final part of this talk aims to dissect the contribution infrared radiation plays on biomarkers of molecular damage when compared to complete solar light using primary human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Interestingly, keratinocytes and fibroblasts demonstrate cell dependent differences to damage induced by infrared radiation, particularly oxidative damage. Initial data suggests that different cell types in the skin have different sensitivities to wavelengths within the solar spectrum and knowing these will allow better complete skin protection to be developed for the future. n Rhythm

Blue Light: Extending the Horizon of Sun Protection into the Blue – Luciana Uttembergue (DSM)
E
verybody knows how important it is to protect our skin from the sun's harmful UV rays: but what about the harmful effects of blue light rays? Skin today is increasingly exposed to stress from many sources. Consumers are exposed to blue light every day, and nearly everywhere—whether from the sun or, increasingly, as artificial light from electronic devices. Blue light is a color in the visible light spectrum that can be seen by the human eye and is responsible for the blue of the sky. It is adjacent to ultraviolet in the spectrum of sunlight, high energy, and has a wavelength ranging from 400 to 500 nm. In recent years, blue light has come indoors, where it is emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TV screens, and the effects of this exposure on skin are still relatively unknown. However, new research shows blue light from our electronic devices can have adverse effects on skin that are similar to sun damage. This new evidence presents an important opportunity for the personal care market as very few commercial products currently exist to address this claim.

Formuating with Zinc Oxide – Juan Brito (BASF)
Z
inc oxide is an ingredient known to soothe and protect skin. It is an effective inorganic UV filter and is commonly used in sunscreen formulations because of its ability to protect against both UVA and UVB light, making it a robust broad-spectrum filter. Formulating sunscreens with zinc oxide can also be challenging. It is critical to obtain a uniform dispersion of zinc oxide for “broad-spectrum” protection, meeting the FDA guideline for the critical wavelength of 370 nm. Obtaining a stabilized zinc oxide emulsion is also important. Vital tips and tricks to formulate an optimized formulation with zinc oxide will be presented. (Continued on page 8)

Particulates Offering Multifunctional Benefits— Boosting UV Perfromance and Soft Focus – Kristina Kannheiser (Presperse) and Daphne Benderly, Ph.D. (Presperse)
T
here is a great desire to boost the UV performance of a formulation without adding additional UV filters. This desire is driven by cost savings, aesthetic considerations, and regulatory constraints as well as potential for post-production adjustment. In the study to be presented, many different particulates were tested in vitro, and were found to give UV performance boosting properties as compared to a placebo system. Some of these particulates are not traditionally used in sun care applications, but are found in other market segments, providing an opportunity to translate functionality from one segment to another. In addition to UV performance boosting, these powders were evaluated for soft focus potential. Formulations containing these powders were evaluated for reduction of wrinkle appearance using high definition photos from a Visia-CR booth and analyzed using VAESTRO software.

UPF: How Protected Are You? – Kacie Murdoch (CRL Suncare)
S
olar UVR levels in parts of the United States can reach extreme UV index levels, especially during summer. Everyday items, particularly clothing, should ideally have SPFs of at least 40-50 for adequate all-day protection of people with fair skin. A major step towards quantifying the benefits of textile UV protection is the calculation of an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). A relatively new rating designation for sun protective textiles, it represents the ratio of sunburn-causing UV transmittance (UVA and UVB), which indicates how much of the sun's UV radiation is absorbed by the fabric. We investigated five categories of popular outdoor products to assess their UPF rating; sunglasses, hats, umbrellas, tents, and window shades revealed robust, reproducible absorbance data that can better inform consumers so that they may make better informed decisions to protect themselves

and their families from dangerous UV radiation. Manufacturers of these products make a variety of anti-UV claims, but products within each of these categories exhibit considerable variation in material, color, and thickness. All of these are factors can impact a product’s ability to absorb UVR. With more than 20 years of experience in the sun care product testing industry, CRL put these claims to the test using a proprietary UPF testing protocol to examine the performance of several products in each of these categories. Our goal is to increase awareness about the importance of moving beyond typical outdoor garment testing. We hope this data will encourage manufacturers to develop products with higher UV absorbing potential and empower consumers to purchase products that exhibit high UPF ratings. n Kacie

UV and Sun Health, Behavioral Insights from Wearable UV Dosimetry – Peter Kaplan, Ph.D. (Shade)
With strong roots, we’re green and growing.
A
lthough ultraviolet light is considered the leading environmental cause of skin aging and skin cancer, most reports of consumer UV behavior are noninstrumental, based on interviews and surveys. The advent of accurate, connected, and affordable UV dosimetry makes it possible to observe actual consumer behavior including variations in day-to-day exposure, the number and duration of exposure events, and the real-time collection of data on sunscreen use. In this talk we will review available instruments and standards as well as instrument accuracy and approaches for their use. We will then review clinical experience from studies conducted using the Shade system. Study 1, conducted at Northwestern University, compared the accuracy of surveys to wearable data. Results indicate that recollection is often inaccurate, erring on the side of recalling exposure events that did not happen as often as forgetting events that did. We will also preview some preliminary data on the distribution of daily exposures from Study 2, which is ongoing at Weill Cornell. These will be compared to the behavior of consumers who purchase and use personal UV dosimetry as a tool to manage their exposure. The populations these data report on are strongly UV avoidant for reasons of personal health (prior treatment for melanoma, cancer scares, and photosensitivity due to autoimmune disease). Nevertheless, UV binges are commonly observed. In addition, the time of day of peak UV exposure is generally separated by several hours from the time of morning grooming when sun protection is usually routinely applied, a fact with obvious implications for sun health. We conclude by reviewing key gaps in consumer data including behavior of children and healthy adults as well as stratification by skin type and ethnicity. We are at the beginning of harnessing the potential of wearable devices to inform and improve our UV health.
