Dinner Hour Speaker: Robert Fletcher
Dinner Hour Topic: Achieving High UVA Protection Using FDA Approved Sunscreen Filters
Educational Hour Speaker: Rebecca James Gadberry
Educational Hour Topic: STRESS RELIEF FOR TODAY’S SKIN Education Hour Speaker for February Meeting TOPIC: STRESS RELIEF FOR TODAY’S SKIN
ABSTRACT:
New research explains how emotional and psychological stress contributes to acne, rosacea, aging, cellulite and skin sensitivity. Learn how the body’s stress chemistry influences skin’s fitness, how to recognize skin that’s under stress, then discover the new ingredient and treatment modalities proven to get signs of stress under control.
BIO:  Pick up a jar of skin care made in the United States and there’s more than a good chance Rebecca James Gadberry has some connection to the product inside. As the instructor of Cali-SCC’s popular cosmetic ingredient courses at UCLA Extension during the past twenty-three years, a well-known speaker at tradeshows and conferences in all venues of the cosmetic industry, and the chairman and CoCEO of YG Laboratories – a prominent manufacturer of high performance skincare in the U.S. – Rebecca has directly influenced thousands of individuals, from cosmetic chemists and product developers, to brand presidents, marketers, educators, estheticians, magazine editors and even YG’s competitors. In the past thirty-five years, this award-winning journalist, educator, researcher, entrepreneur and esthetician, has published well over 600 articles about cosmetics and their ingredients, developed over 1200 cosmetic products for brands throughout the world, and is considered the leading ingredient authority in the professional skincare industry. Her blog, My View From the Test Tube, launched this month at rebeccajamesgadberry.com. It discusses skin care ingredients, trends, skin biology and skin care business concepts with beauty professionals and consumers. Dinner Hour Speaker for February Meeting TOPIC: Achieving High UVA Protection Using FDA Approved Sunscreen Filters
ABSTRACT:
Consumers are becoming more educated about the dangers of UVA rays and as a consequence are looking for increased UVA protection in their sunscreens. Regulatory bodies around the globe are reacting to this and are demanding quantifiable, photostable UVA protection on future sunscreen labels. This puts a great deal of pressure on the formulator, who now has to achieve high SPF and high UVA without compromising aesthetics, while using a limited filter tool box. This presentation will briefly review the regulatory changes proposed by the FDA, and what these changes actually mean for the formulator on the bench top. We will then analyze the UVA performance of several different filter combinations which could achieve high levels of UVA protection and discuss the pros and cons of each possible combination. Finally we will review the available literature associated with the perceived safety of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology will come under renewed scrutiny in the next generation of sunscreens as the use of zinc oxide is expected to increase dramatically due to its UVA absorbing efficiency. The majority of zinc oxides currently available are based on nanotechnology, which some consumers perceive as being unsafe when applied to the skin. BIO:  Robert Fletcher is a product development specialist for Amerchol, Dow’s personal care business. In this role, he is responsible for leading Amerchol’s sun care research and development projects from concept to commercialization. He is currently located in Midland, Michigan. Fletcher joined Dow in 2000 as a senior physicist in the Advanced Electronic Materials business. In 2005, he moved into product development within Dow Dispersion Sciences before being given the responsibility for developing Dow’s sun care product portfolio in 2007. During this time, he has been responsible for the product development and leading technical and formulation support related to Dow’s introductions of ZinClearTM IM, and SolTerraTM Boost. Fletcher graduated from The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, England, with a bachelor’s degree in chemical physics. He also holds a PhD in organic electronics from the University of Sheffield.
