Effect of a peptide in cosmetic formulations for hair volume control
ConclusionCaucasian hair showed higher volume than Asian hair when submitted to both relative humidity conditions. The incorporation of the peptide into the climate control formulations, a base (mostly composed of water ≈ 94%) and an ethanolic, was found to reduce the volume of Caucasian hair tresses. The presence of the peptide improved the hair volume change more than 60% in high relative humidity conditions.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Determination of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes in personal care products by gas chromatography
ConclusionThis report demonstrates that an approach to determine cVMS levels in personal care products is to perform an emulsion break on the sample, isolate the nonpolar phase from the emulsion break and treat with a silylation reagent to abate potential in situ formation of cyclics during the course of GC‐FID analysis. Round robin studies conducted in laboratories representing multiple siloxane manufacturers demonstrated the reliability of the GC‐FID method when measuring cVMS in PCPs down to circa 0.1%.This article is protected by copyright.

Understanding the effects of topography on skin moisturization measurement via 2 dimensional capacitance imaging
ConclusionsWhile the 2 dimensional moisturization mapping systems can be used like a conventional electrical skin measurement device giving a simple overall reading of skin moisturization for the test area, their true value over existing electrical measures comes from its ability to isolate the skin itself from areas which are not in contact with the sensor.This article is protected by copyright.

Conventional sunscreen application does not lead to sufficient body coverage
ConclusionIn most cases, the usual sunscreen application routine does not provide complete body coverage even though an extra light sunscreen with good absorption properties was used. On average, 11 % of the body surface was not covered by sunscreen at all. Therefore, appropriate consumer education is required to improve sunscreen application and to warrant effective sun protection.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Terminalia ferdinandiana Exell. Extracts inhibit the growth of body odour ‐forming bacteria
ConclusionThe low toxicity of the T. ferdinandiana leaf extracts and their potent growth inhibition of axillary and plantar malodour‐producing bacteria indicate their potential as deodorant components. Résumé ObjectifLes extraits de T. ferdinandiana sont des inhibiteurs puissants de la croissance de nombreux agents pathogènes bactériens. Ils peuvent également inhiber la croissance des bactéries productrices de mauvaises odeurs et donc être des composants déodorants utiles, bien que cela soit encore à tester. MéthodesLes extraits de solvants provenant de fruits et de feuilles de T. ferdinandiana ont été étud...

Gel Network Shampoo Formulation and Hair Health Benefits
ConclusionsThe formation of a stable gel network was confirmed in the formulated shampoo and it was demonstrated that this gel network is important to deliver cetyl and stearyl alcohol into hair. The presence of fatty alcohol inside hair was shown to deliver a hair strength benefit via cyclic fatigue testing.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Forearm skin aging: characterization by instrumental measurements
ConclusionMeaningful differences in the biophysical characteristics of the extensor and flexor faces of the forearms were detected. Because the non‐invasive instrumental measurements correlated with clinical findings, they may represent useful tools to assess efficacy and safety of skin aging treatments in clinical research.This article is protected by copyright.

How a working day ‐induced‐tiredness may alter some facial signs in differently‐aged Caucasian women
ConclusionA normal working day induces, in the studied women, slight but detectable changes in some facial signs that vary (location, intensity) according to age. Résumé ObjectifsEvaluer l'influence d'une journée de travail sur certains signes cliniques du visage de femmes françaises caucasiennes. MéthodesDes photographies standardisées de la totalité du visage de 111 femmes de différentes classes d’âge ont été prises avant et après une journée de travail. Les photos ont été soumises, en aveugle (matin ou soir), à un panel de 10 experts afin de quantifier cliniquement la sévérité de 8 différents sign...

Physical Mechanical characterization of cosmetic formulations and correlation between instrumental measurements and sensorial properties
ConclusionThe raw materials strongly influenced the physical, texture and sensorial parameters. Finally, the UV filters showed a greater influence on the results of the formulations than the chicory root extract. In conclusion, the association of the mentioned methods allows the correct choice of ingredients and their combinations.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

A dissociation in judgements of confidence in people with dandruff based on self ‐reports compared to reports from other observers
ConclusionsThese findings reveal a difference between explicit and implicit measures of self‐esteem in men compared to women with dandruff. Résumé Objectifil n'est pas clair dans quelle mesure les évaluations effectuées par d'autres personnes correspondent à des autoévaluations d'estime ou de confiance. Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons comparé les mesures de confiance chez les participants avec et sans pellicules. Méthodesles participants avec des pellicules ont des résultats significativement différents par rapport aux témoins sans pellicules en ce qui concerne la mesure de la qualité de vie ave...

The chemistry, function and (patho)physiology of stratum corneum barrier ceramides
Abstract Research on understanding of the chemistry, function and (patho)physiology of stratum corneum (SC) lipids and especially ceramides has evolved over the last two decades. This has been made successful through the application of separation techniques that have become increasingly more sophisticated, and it has become increasingly evident that our understanding of these molecules remains in its infancy. Thirteen classes of ceramides with over 300 and possibly up to 1000 distinct ceramide species have been identified suggesting an exquisitely subtle relationship between the types of ceramides and physical and chemical...
