TOPIC: Amino Acids in Personal Care Formulation

ABSTRACT:
Amino Acids are the foundation, the building blocks of life. Their use in personal care formulation can add a number of benefits to the end product. Amino Acids and their derivatives can add conditioning, anti-oxidant effects, repair, moisturization to the skin and hair. In this presentation we will discuss some of the basics of amino acids and derivatives, the benefits that can be expected, and how to formulate with them to best effect in both hair and skin care applications.

Dinner Hour Speaker for January Meeting

TOPIC: Global Trends in Health and Wellness

ABSTRACT:

My presentation is entitled "Global Trends in Health and Wellness." The trends were identified by a European trend watch company called Promostyl. It focuses on four different areas of consumer imagery as it relates to product concepts - playtime, mutation, origin and purity. The trend is presented and explained, with accompanying colors, images and ideas, and then 4 to 5 finished products currently on the market are described which reflect that trend. Many of the products are from smaller, niche European companies, which are not so frequently seen here in the US.
