The Ingredient List

t may sound like a far-fetched connection, but the ingredients in our beauty and grooming products say a lot about our society’s cultural movements. In the 1970s, for example, during an early wave of modern environmentalism and the decade when the Sperm Whale was officially named an endangered species, jojoba oil began getting major attention from cosmetic manufacturers. Jojoba oil, as it turned out, was an ideal substitute for Sperm Whale oil—a hugely popular beauty ingredient that for obvious reasons swiftly began losing its superstar status. Today, as North Americans embrace another wave of environmentalism— one that I hope will have enduring effects on our consumption patterns and behaviour—the beauty world is seeing an influx of products made with ingredients that are deemed natural, organic or free of unwanted and potentially harmful chemicals. It seems that more and more, the salon client is not only demanding performance from professional products, she’s demanding that they reflect her values as well. This A to Z guide of the “elements” that make up modern-day beauty products is designed to help you make sense of all the latest buzz ingredients and product trends, whether they are green-driven, performance-driven or made to fill a void in the market. We solicited the help of product developer and consultant Doug Schoon, formerly of CND and now the founder of Schoon Scientific. An internationally-recognized scientist, author and educator with over 30 years experience in the cosmetic, beauty and personal care industry, Schoon gives critical background knowledge and shares his thoughts and opinions. I think you’ll find his insights fascinating. And to give you a little eye candy, our A to Z guide also features some of the most awesome hair shots I’ve seen so far this year: an 80s-inspired collection courtesy of JPMS editorial director Lucie Doughty. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I do. Write me at morella@beautynet.com and let me know what you think.

re you getting the usual today?” Although this is a perfectly fine question to hear from the barista at your fave coffee shop, does it really work to ask it when you’re behind the chair offering a beauty service? Think about it: are you taking the time to find out whether your regular clients were happy with their last haircut, colour service or pedicure? Or are you whisking them to the basin and mixing the same colour formulas after merely asking, “Are you getting the usual today?” This is the difference between good and mediocre service. Your client isn’t coming into the salon for a $2 coffee. A highly personal service is being offered—a service that should be tailored to individual needs. And it all starts with a thorough consultation and good communication. Many beauty pros think consultations are for new clients. However, the consultation is not only about getting the first service right; it’s also a casual way of measuring your clients’ overall satisfaction with the salon experience. What’s more, not asking and listening to a client can lead to consumer dissatisfaction. Sadly, most clients don’t even complain when they feel ignored by their stylist; they simply switch salons. In reality, so much comes down to an effective consultation—asking the correct questions, listening and responding to ensure you’ve reached a consensus. Here’s an old saying: there’s a reason why God gave us two ears and one mouth. I laughed when I heard this and immediately got the message— maybe because I’m a pretty big talker myself. Sometimes we’ve just got to put a sock in it! The next time your client sits in your chair, pay attention to your own behaviour and communication skills. Who’s doing all the talking? Are you really listening? Are you offering the service your client wants? Let me know how it goes. Go to our blog at salon52.ca and join me in the conversation.

elemen elements an A to Z guide to beautyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest essential ingredients

From antioxidants and ceramides to pearl proteins and the newest silk complex, we break down the brightest stars in the latest generation of beauty products. Along with some of our all-time favourite ingredient innovations, a few up-andcoming Canadian-made lines and the hottest ionic tools, our elements guide has everything you need to stay au courant. july+august 09 < s a l o n

A antioxidants Each with its own special power, antioxidants are like mini superheroes, constantly fighting to counteract an evil adversary: destructive elements known as free radicals. Harmful by-products of cellular respiration, free radicals attach themselves to our cells’ DNA, causing cellular breakdown and damage. Also found in pollutants, radiation, cigarette smoke, herbicides and other hazardoussounding substances, free radicals can be counterbalanced with antioxidants, which essentially neutralize their toxic side effects. According to Doug Schoon, founder of Schoon Scientific, “The theory is, if you put something on the skin or hair that will block the free radicals— almost like a little Pac-Man—it’s going to protect the skin and hair from being altered or changed.” However, he warns that antioxidants are not a magical ingredient that will take 10 years off your clients’ face or hair. “What antioxidants can do is prevent future damage, but they’re not going to reverse existing damage that has already occurred.” Still, prevention is half the battle, so here’s our nod to the latest and greatest antioxidantrich goods.

e extracts (ĭk-străkts')

Pick up a hair or skin care product, scan to the ingredients and chances are—amongst the ethylhexyl palmitates—it contains some sort of extract. When you take a substance and apply methods like pressure, distillation or treatment with solvents to completely dissolve the material, the liquid mixture left over is an extract. If you take a bag of tea and place it in hot water, for example, the colour, taste and aroma that dissolve in the water is an extract. Natural extracts are commonplace in many beauty products, and here are a few of our new favourites.

The Sulfate Debate

PRO SULFATES

AGAINST SULFATES

The myth of the big bad sulfates began with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which was shown to be irritating for people with sensitivities when used in high concentrations. However, according to Doug Schoon, founder of Schoon Scientific, people who are sensitive to SLS are in the minority not majority. “Even if you’re allergic or sensitive to sodium lauryl sulfates, that doesn’t mean you should avoid all sulfates,” explains Schoon. He adds that not only are there hundreds of kinds of sulfates, they are all around us in nature, so it would be mighty difficult to avoid them completely. A sulfate that is popping up in many products is sodium laureth sulfate, which is gentler to the skin and hair and less likely to cause irritations. Schoon sums it up by saying, “If you have known sensitivities, you should avoid sulfates, but I don’t think the word ‘sulfate’ itself automatically means something is dangerous.”

Jim Markham, founder of Pureology, had a close friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and found products with sulfates highly irritating. Markham created a sulfate-free formula to meet the needs of this close friend and introduced it to Pureology in 2001. Today the company still uses a zero-sulfate formula. Marie-France Morand, marketing manager with Pureology, says, “Sulfates are commonly used in beauty products because they are inexpensive and plentiful. However, regular sulfates can be very harsh cleansing agents, irritating the scalp and hair and causing colour to fade. At Pureology, instead of using sulfates to clean the hair, we use a formula naturally derived from coconut, corn and sugar.” Morand adds that although this formula is gentler, it still offers the same rich lather that a lot of shampoos derive from sulfates.

G grains (grāns)

Nourishing and wholesome, grains can be just as nutritive in our beauty products as they are in our meals. Hydrolyzed wheat proteins—wheat protein molecules that are broken into small pieces to be water-soluble for better absorption into the hair shaft—are a common element in conditioners because of their strengthening and moisturizing qualities. Rice bran is a natural exfoliant in skincare, and the oil derived from bran is an emollient, which softens and soothes

skin and can prevent split ends. According to Schoon, gluten allergy sufferers should not be negatively affected by the presence of wheat or oats in their beauty products. The process of absorption through the skin is very different than through the digestive tract, so the gluten in hair and skin care items should not be an issue. Nevertheless, for celiac or glutenintolerant clients who would prefer a gluten-free option, see page 30.

H homegrown (hōm'grōn')

Dorothy Gale was right when she said, “There’s no place like home.” Luckily, Canada is home to a host of companies that are making waves in the U.S. beauty industry and abroad. Wayne Grund, director and founder of Surface Hair, claims the advantage of being from the Great White North

is that “Canadian stylists are held in high regard globally, both as artists and business people.” For these homegrown heroes, the hardest sell is actually here in Canada. Berardino Alberico of UANS says, “The only drawback to being Canadian is in the Canadian markets. In the international market, it’s a plus.”

I ionic (ī-ŏn’ĭk)

Ionic technology is a mainstay when it comes to professional styling tools. Blow-dryers, ﬂatirons, curling irons and even brushes all feature the frizz-reducing, shineenhancing element, but how does it work exactly? Hot air is loaded with positive ions and can wreak havoc on our hair cuticles causing dullness and breakage. Styling tools with ionic technology produce negative ions to offset this effect, helping to reduce drying time, lock in moisture and smooth the hair shaft. You’ll often see it used in conjunction with tourmaline, a crystal which emits an optimum level of negative ions.

This newest curling iron heats hair quickly thanks to dual ceramic heaters. Far-infrared heat and negative ions also help preserve moisture leaving hair silky smooth. Info: kqcbeauty.com

keratin

Jojoba oil became a popular beauty ingredient when it replaced the once ubiquitous whale oil as a more natural and cruelty-free alternative. “Penetrating easily, this oil has a lot of fatty acids in it that work by sealing the surface of your skin and hair, allowing your body’s natural moisture content to increase,” explains Schoon.

Found in everything from turtle shells and goose down to your hair and nails, keratin is a naturally occurring protein consisting of long chains of thousands of tiny amino acids. So what’s the advantage in cosmetics? Primarily used in hair products, keratin acts like putty, filling holes in hair fibres.

Made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, lipids are typically found in fats, oils and waxes. Lipids are also the main building block of plant, animal and human cells. According to Schoon, 15 to 16 per cent of our skin is made up of lipids, which function to keep the skin

soft and ﬂexible. Schoon compares lipids penetrating the skin to putting leather conditioners on a purse—they maintain its supple feel and pliable nature. They also seal in hair and skin’s moisture and provide a layer of protection against environmental damage.

Q10

Image Skin Care Ageless the Max

Small but mighty, Q10 is a super element with the power to become a household name. Coenzyme Q10 is naturally produced and is in every single cell in your body, strengthening and protecting from free radicals. Sound great? There is a downside: scientists have found that Q10 levels drop considerably in people over 30. As Q10 levels decrease, the body slows down production of collagen, elastin and keratin, leading to aging skin and hair. The good news? Q10 is easily absorbed into hair and skin, does not cause allergic reactions and combats the signs of aging.

vitamins

When consumed, vitamins are nutritional supplements that can have far-reaching beneﬁts for hair and skin. In cosmetics, however, vitamins are used for their excellent antioxidant properties, preventing the formation of or neutralizing free radicals. They also improve the performance of beauty products by keeping added ingredients balanced. The most widely used vitamins in cosmetics are vitamin A, C, E and provitamin B5.

Vitamin A Known for its ability to normalize skin cell growth, vitamin A decreases facial lines and wrinkling and can help improve collagen density, skin elasticity, tone and texture.

Vitamin C

2 ISO Color Preserve

Vitamin C protects from oxidant damage, has skin-lightening and anti-inﬂammatory effects and improves elasticity. It can reduce UV-induced free radicals and regenerate vitamin E, another potent antioxidant. When applied after sunburn, vitamin C has been known to reduce redness 50 per cent sooner than in untreated areas, and other inﬂammatory conditions like psoriasis and eczema have also shown clinical improvement after being treated with this popular vitamin. In addition, vitamin C has been found to stimulate collagen synthesis and reduce dark pigmentation of the skin (age spots).

Vitamin E A popular antioxidant, moisturizing and rejuvenating ingredient, vitamin E is often described as “the protector,” mainly because of its ability to quench free radicals. Studies have shown that vitamin E reduces UV-induced redness, sunburn cell formation and lipid oxidation and has excellent moisturizing effects.

Provitamin B5 Provitamin B5 or D-panthenol has been used for years in hair care products because it functions as a humectant, increasing the water content of hair and improving its elasticity. D-panthenol is inactive but is readily converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, which then becomes an important component in the energy cycle of the cell. Panthenol can also attract water into the upper layer of the skin, becoming effective as a moisturizer and softener. Moreover, panthenol can also enhance skin regeneration.

X x-factor (x-ˈfak-tər)

Whenever you read up on the latest colour formulas, there’s almost always mention of a patented complex technology, or what Salon Magazine’s dubbed the “X-Factor.” Here we break down exactly how these colour technologies work.

Goldwell: Coenzyme Technology

ISO: Triplex C and Tri-Active Technology

x x 54

ISO’s colour line i.Luminate features the patented blend of Triplex C and Tri-Active Technology. Triplex C, a mixture of vitamin C, beeswax and lecithin, adheres within the cuticle layer and locks colour in for up to 20 shampoos. Tri-Active Technology is formulated with three active components—moisturizers, vitamins and proteins. These positively charged ingredients are instantly drawn to repair the negatively charged (or damaged) areas of hair. The results are conditioned hair and scalp and increased moisture retention, creating longer-lasting colour.

Joico: Quadramine Complex Featured in Joico’s colour line and all Vero K-Pak products, the Quadramine Complex promises to turn dry, damaged hair into a full, healthy mane via a hydrolyzed keratin protein reconstructing agent. Having positively charged amino acids allows this patented formula to quickly seek out and fix damaged areas of the hair.

L’Oréal Professionnel: Ionène G Incell Complex This complex, found in the Majirel, Diacolor and Color Supreme lines, promises shiny, long-lasting and even colour. The first active ingredient is the Ionène G molecules, which attach themselves to hair’s surface and then penetrate deep within the heart of the cuticle to reinforce inside the cortex. Incell is a lipid molecule that attaches itself to and fills the gaps inside the intercellular cement of the cuticle, thereby strengthening the hair. Working together, these two ingredients treat and condition hair from the inside out…literally.

Schwarzkopf Professional: Color Crystal Complex SKP’s colour line Igora Royal gives vibrant colour by way of the Color Crystal Complex. How’s it work? Micro-fine particles (a.k.a. colour

s a l o n > july+august 09

precursors) infiltrate deeply to fill the hair’s cortex. The small size of these fine particles guarantees the colour pigments will fasten to the cortex fibre. The results? Great coverage and long-lasting, intense colour your clients will love.

Sebastian Professional: Color Shine Acid Complex

Wella Professionals: Triluxiv Technology

When Sebastian Professional relaunched its semi-permanent colour line Cellophanes, it made its debut with a thicker, proteinenriched formula. Part of the formula’s key to success is the Color Shine Acid Complex, which deposits non-oxidative pure dye pigments on the hair shaft, seals the cuticle for intense shine and infuses hair with conditioning proteins.

With the relaunch of Wella’s Koleston Perfect (KP) range of colour came the advent of a new technology: Triluxiv Technology, a threephase process to keep colour clients looking fabulous. Phase one is the colour navigator, which prepares the hair structure and balances it for even distribution. Phase two is called colour intense and means that this formula activates immediately, creating more vibrant, longer-lasting colour. Finally, there’s the shine guard, a lipid coating that forms a protective film around the hair, resulting in a healthy shine.

Goldwell’s colour lines Topchic and Colorance are both formulated with Coenzyme Technology, which boasts brilliant, even colour results that last. This system works to protect hair during colouring, neutralizing free radicals, minimizing damage and increasing the binding power of colour pigments.

Remembering Guy Mascolo On May 6, at his Dallas, TX home, Toni&Guy cofounder Guy Mascolo passed away from a heart attack. Internationally known for the company he formed with his brother Toni, Guy was 65 at the time of his death. Highly respected in the hairstyling world, Guy was also known to family and friends as a compassionate man with a love of football, the guitar and painting. He is survived by four children, Guy Junior, Zak, Emanuella and Zara.

Calling all Shoeaholics Milano Software introduces the Win a Year’s Worth of New Shoes contest. President Paul Pagliaro wanted to show appreciation to an industry that has been supporting Milano for many years. “We wanted to give something that everyone in this industry loves. Shoes!” explains Pagliaro. The contest runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 and is open to management, staff or students in the beauty biz. Log on to milanosoftware.com today and you could win 12 new pairs of shoes, a prize valued at approximately $3,000.

There’s been a lot of action with the Redken family these days. The company has relaunched its Color Extend line with the addition of a new product (see Shine Enrich, p. 23), splashy red packaging and updated formulas to ensure even longer-lasting, vibrant colour. A fan favourite among colour clients, Redken’s Color Extend also recently won the 2009 Elle Canada/Elle Quebec Beauty Award for Favourite Shampoo and Conditioner. On the environmental front, Redken is also doing a promo for the month of June to recognize Canadian Earth Week from May 31 to June 6. If clients purchase two Redken curl products, they will save 15 per cent and receive a complimentary limited-edition tote bag and Curl Perfection Hair Tricks Tip Guide. S
