Educational Hour Topic: COTTON THISTLE EXTRACT: THE NEW ORGANIC RESTRUCTURING ACTIVE INGREDIENT Education Hour Speaker for May Meeting TOPIC: COTTON THISTLE EXTRACT: THE NEW ORGANIC RESTRUCTURING ACTIVE INGREDIENT
ABSTRACT:
Cotton thistle is a wild plant commonly known for its stimulating and cardiotonic properties as well as for its ability to prevent rickets in children. From this plant, a new natural active from Gattefossé research was designed for enhancing skin barrier function and repair epidermal damages. To address cotton thistle extract repairing activity on cutaneous tissue, we studied immunostaining of various differentiation markers on skin biopsies. Immunostaining was carried out on skin samples after topical application of the active. Some skin biopsies were stripped before application. These studies revealed that treatment with the active regulated epidermal differentiation. Involucrin, Loricrin and LEKTI (lympho-epithelial Kazal type related inhibitor) proteins were stimulated in the treated stripped skin samples. Regeneration of the epidermis and enhanced collagen I synthesis were also demonstrated on burned and normal treated skin samples respectively. In vivo substantiation confirmed the powerful repairing efficacy. Tested on damaged skin after strippings, the active exhibited a significant recovery of the skin barrier parameter. Taken together, these results point out that this new fair-trade solution from Gattefossé can help maintain a good skin homeostasis, moisturization and barrier effect in skin care applications.

Dinner Hour Speaker for May Meeting TOPIC: The Global Melting Pot of Hair: A Discussion of Hair Types and Formulating Considerations for Meeting Changing Consumer Needs
ABSTRACT:
Developing hair care products for various regions can be difficult as consumer needs are often different. As our populations continue to meld, targeting these consumer needs may become even more difficult. We will discuss various hair types, demonstrate product performance differences on these different hair types and explore the population in the LATAM region further. We will also discuss how to best address the global melting pot in the future, allowing for products that answer consumer needs.
