NYSCC Rheology Symposium — Practical Considerations and Demonstrations
I
November 15th • Cook Campus Student Center • Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
n continuing with tradition, the NYSCC will be hosting its biannual Rheology Symposium this year. This is a great event that promises to provide a cornucopia of educational information bringing rheology and cosmetic science together. At this year’s symposium we plan to give attendees the opportunity to see “rheology in action.” Several instrument suppliers will demonstrate case studies to highlight test methods and data analysis relevant to cosmetic product development. This format is designed to encourage attendees to learn from the demonstrators and from each other. In addition to the practical demonstrations, invited speakers include Dennis Laba (review of rheological terms), Rhyta Rounds (product packaging), and Professor Christopher Macosko of the University of Minnesota (sensorial properties).

Speaker Abstracts and Biographies…
A Brief Review of Rheological Terms
T
– Dennis Laba
o understand Rheology, you have to understand the language of the Science. Words like shear stress, pseudoplastic, and viscoelasticity are not typically used in every day conversations, but when formulating cosmetic or personal care products, an understanding of these terms can make the difference between developing a good product and a successful product. A number of basic rheological expressions will be reviewed, so that more complex concepts discussed later in this symposium may be more quickly understood.
• Biography Dennis Laba is currently the Director of Regulatory Affairs and QC at PRESPERSE Corp., located in Somerset, NJ. He has over 35 years of experience in the cosmetic industry with many of them in technical roles. He has authored a number of professional papers, edited a book on rheology in Marcel Dekker’s Cosmetic Science and Technology Series, holds a number of US Patents, and was a contributing author in the latest edition of Harry’s Cosmeticology. He earned his B.S. degree in Biology from Rutgers University, and his M.S. degree in Industrial Pharmacy from Long Island University. Mr. Laba is a Fellow of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, and has held previous technical and marketing positions with Elementis Specialties, Reheis Chemical, and Block Drug. ™
Time Dependent and Accelerated Flow Shear Effects: The Product Packaging
A
Nature’s Science. Our Technology. Your Beauty.
– Rhyta S. Rounds
consumer's positive experience in dispensing a product depends on a sound marriage of rheology with container design/selection. This is not a trivial relationship and can cause a number of problems in the launch of a new or improved product. Frequently this is due to the misunderstanding of the nature of the product and a misidentification of the relevant rheology attributes, since there are many to consider. Time dependent shear effects are critical, especially transient flow at flow inception. Rheology is a very practical flow simulation tool. Designed properly with the flow objective in mind, rheology metrics can guide the design and selection of product packaging. This is especially true for nonNewtonian formulations that are complex structured fluids or soft solids, as these materials can exhibit rich time-dependent shear effects, especially at flow inception. Whether developing a model for computational flow dynamics or estimating flow resistance during flow through the package geometry, understanding the flow resistance as a function of time and shear rate or shear stress is key. We will review the transient flow behavior of various cosmetics and discuss experimental errors and artifacts confounding these studies. Examples will be provided of stress growth functions and accelerated flows in the appropriate experimental ranges, simulating dispensing conditions, with a discussion of the dimensionless Deborah and Weissenberg numbers. The breadth of experimental ranges will be explored as these are set by the ultimate consumers.

heology can relate the stress and strain response of liquids and soft solids to their structure and performance. We will define basic rheological measurements and show examples how they can be used to guide formulation development and product quality. For example, the elastic modulus of chewing gum needs to be in a particular range at 37 °C for a consumer acceptable mouth feel. On the other hand, extensional strain hardening is critical for good performing bubble gum. As another example, the viscosity at high shear rates relates to the perception of smoothness in rubbing on face cream and is used along with modulus to control production.
• Biography Christopher W. Macosko, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. He (and the students in his group) create multiphase polymer microstructures via process flows and chemical reaction. They carry out research on polymer blending, polyurethane foaming, dispersion of nano-filler in polymers, and creation of nanoparticles for drug delivery. Macosko has also been active in developing new rheological test methods and their applications. Professor Macosko is the author of the popular text: Rheology: Principles, Measurements, and Applications. The Macosko Group has produced over 420 publications and has been home to nearly 100 Ph.D. and M.S. students, post-doctoral scholars, and visiting scientists.

ustainability is a wide reaching term that covers many aspects of the cosmetics and personal care industry. This event aims to explore several aspects of sustainability and how they pertain to our responsibilities both as scientists and businesses. Green chemistry can reduce pollutants and lower the energy needed to make products. The repurposing of products originally considered waste not only reduces our footprint but also helps our bottom lines. Finally, understanding the commitments we have to customers to create products that improve both their lives and the world around them allows us to discuss the aspects of sustainability that reach beyond the products we create.

Moisturization Through the Ages – Geoffrey Brooks
I
will discuss some of the highlights on the important dynamics of how water works within the skin and hair in relation to water in the environment, and what the cosmetic industry has done to enhance the skin’s appearance by topically applying products. I am very proud and honored to speak on the same platform as Dr. Sylvia Earle who has spent a life-time understanding the dynamics which help to keep our oceans (70% of the planet!) healthy. Up to 60% of the adult body is water, and the skin contains 64% water. As we are terrestrial beings, we live in a very thin atmosphere. Globally, it contains only 0.04% of the world’s fresh water. Not much!!! It is measured by humidity, and your hair and skin are moisturerized when it is saturated (100% RH). Under desert conditions (10% RH), your skin and hair are dried out! External environmental moisture is very important. My previous experience includes working for Beecham (UK) on Brylcreem (about 50 years ago), which was described as the best moisturizing hair cream! I also worked on several skin care products (e.g., Margaret Astor) and understood the importance of moisturizing the skin to relieve dryness and provide a fresher look. Unfortunately the improved appearance of skin and hair was only transitory. Much effort was put into making the effects provided by moisture in your product, and from the body, last longer for greater consumer satisfaction. Moisturization was one claim we were allowed to make for our products, and perhaps the only real claim we are allowed to make now. Temporary relief of dry skin with a moisturizer is not treatment with a drug! Over the years, science has provided a good understanding on how best to moisturize the skin, how the skin uses moisture, and how the skin regulates itself to provide optimal homeostasis. Utilizing a good understanding of the functioning of the skin’s own master regulators (cytokines), it is possible to design analogs which will help optimize this process by up-regulating aquaporins (the cell’s water channeling/optimization mechanism) and other extra-cellular matrix components. We will discuss how these and other approaches can be used to more effectively provide the consumer with greater satisfaction.

Geoffrey Brooks Geoffrey Brooks graduated from the University of London with a B.Sc. in Chemistry in 1966. Initially, he went to work for Beecham in Product Development on haircare products (Brylcreem, Silvikrin), then on bath products (Vitabath, Badedas, Midas), and later he helped introduce the Lancaster cosmetic line into the U.S. In 1974 he joined Croda in Technical Sales and Marketing, introducing new proteins, emulsifiers, hair conditioners, and waxes. In 1984 Geoffrey co-founded Brooks Industries, and functioned as CTO – Brooks Industries, introducing many innovative cosmetic ingredients, including yeast extracts, plant proteins, liposomes, and other advanced effective skin delivery systems. Brooks Industries was later sold to Arch Chemicals and provided the basis for their cosmetic specialty chemical business. From 2001 to 2008 he functioned as a roving technical scientific ambassador within Arch in an effort to provide cross business opportunities. In 2008 he joined Solazyme, Inc. in San Francisco as VP & General Manager for Nutrition and Personal Care. Two years later Geoffrey "retired”! However, he still kept very active, helping the University of California market their patented cosmetic peptides. He has also assisted personal care ingredient and nutritionally inspired start-up companies. Most recently, he has served as scientific advisor to Botaneco (located in Calgary, Canada) on their novel seed extraction technologies, which gently release the constituent bio-components in an environmentally friendly manner. The focus has been on utilizing agricultural products which have a very low water footprint, something increasingly important in a warming and changing world.

razil, Russia, India, and China are collectively referred to as the BRIC countries, and are among the fastest growing developing markets in the world. Collectively, and Brazil individually, are culturally diverse, and major consumers of personal care products and fragrances. Brexit has been an earthquake that has set the entire European continent rolling in terms of currency fluctuations, intercountry relationships, and many other facets, too numerous to mention. It will affect how markets interact and develop enormously over the years. As more companies are embracing globalization to reach new customers in new markets, a greater understanding of culture, consumer preferences, important product types, and regulatory issues in these vast and growing markets is essential.

Cosmetic Chemistry: What’s Food Got to Do With It? by Cherie Buziak he NYSCC held its annual Culinary Event on September 12th at the Midtown Loft and Terrace in Manhattan. If you’re not familiar with what or who the NYSCC is, the acronym stands for The New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists. The NYSCC is a local chapter of the global organization called the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC). Consider, respectfully, that members of the SCC are a group of mad scientists, biochemists, and raw materials specialists, along with a crew of testing specialists who work behind the scenes formulating and contemplating the next big innovative beauty product. They are a creative bunch that aligns with product marketers and key corporate teams to help bring to market the next beauty enhancing product. You may ask yourself, what’s food got to do with cosmetic chemistry? The answer is: A lot. Here’s a sampling of how food and food items impact the beauty business:
T
n Inspiration: The culinary arena is one sector that the beauty industry scours for new ideas and ingredient inspirations. Cosmetic formulas that use naturals, organics, raw food ingredients, and the sort, for the most part, found their roots in culinary cuisines. Not only are ingredients borrowed, a variety of food textures can influence a cosmetic product aesthetic. Think of the texture of jello as inspiration for a cooling eye-gel, yogurt as inspiration for a creamy cleanser, or whipped cream as inspiration for a cushiony face foundation. n Cosmetic product benefit: You know all of those seeds, herbs, plants, fruits, vegetables, and oils we eat? Well, if you dig deeper into studies, you’ll likely find that when harvested and refined properly, they are beneficial in beautifying the skin when formulated into cosmetic products. The raw materials that chemists use, even if they are natural in origin, must be carefully selected, with key components of the materials extracted, filtered, and processed so that they work well within the formula and are safe for skin in the long term. n Trends: Yes, trends. The lifestyle and ingredients that tend to trend in the culinary world generally marry to the trends in the world of beauty. For example, there is a strong Asian influence in cosmetic beauty from Korea and Japan occurring right now. What was for dinner at the NYSCC’s culinary event? An Asian influenced cuisine of course! So, stop for a moment, and think about your beauty items in your personal space right now. Is there a specific natural ingredient highlighted on the front label of your body wash? Is your hair care product enriched with an exotic nut oil or butter? Is that lip product infused with a fruit extract? Chances are, the inspiration of those ingredients came from the food industry before being used in your cosmetic product.
