UNTIL MILAN
CORPORATE EDITORIAL
Rachel L. Grabenhofer
Having just experienced one of the largest snowstorms to hit the Midwest
in decades, I can barely think about hot summer beaches or sunscreen. Right
now I’m staring out the window at hip-deep mounds of snow; now I know
what Europe and the eastern United States experienced in previous weeks.
However, as the recent meetings of the International Society of Cosmetic
Dermatology and American Academy of Dermatology remind me, summer is
not the only time for sunscreen. So whether you’re in the South and soaking
up the sun’s rays on a beach, or in the North and blinded by its reflection off
the snow, you can all use a little sun protection.
This issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine carries a truly sunny disposition, as several of its features are relevant to sun care formulating. For
instance, McCormick, on Page 164, discusses the current SPF test method
and how it underestimates the protection afforded by mineral sunscreens. On
Page 172, Pissavini et al. explain how to interpret SPF test results statistics,
to ensure that products meet the desired SPF claim.
In addition, Dayan et al. look at sun protection in a new light on
Page 186, with the introduction of a fractionated melanin to protect skin from
high energy visible light. Abrutyn’s monthly column “Formula Anatomy
Deciphered” on Page 142 examines the components of sunscreen formulas
as well as recent patents and products in this category. Finally, to inspire
formulators with new product concepts, the annual Sun Care Formulary is
included in this issue, beginning on Page 218.
Besides protecting skin from sun exposure, this issue discusses repairing,
soothing and even slimming the skin via cosmetic actives—rounding out
the In-Cosmetics issue with a nice variety of formulation-focused content.
And speaking of In-Cosmetics, at the show in Milan, Cosmetics & Toiletries
staff is excited to announce a new venture in cosmetic chemistry education:
the Complete Cosmetic Chemist training program.
