CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC

T

HE LUNATIC FRINGE, be it Tea Partier or Occupy Wall Streeter, holds sway in the US these days. While neither side can offer a reasonable solution to debt crisis or class warfare, both sides have managed to grab media attention (“journalists”love an easy story), and nightly news reports and Sunday talk shows are filled with the back and forth of “he said, she said”that ultimately leads to nowhere. But business folk, no not the guys in the corner office mind you, but the people doing the actual work, creating new products, visiting customers and the like, don’t see the world in black and white. For them, there are no clear-cut winners and losers. Instead, they measure their responses with phrases such as“cautiously optimistic,”an ambiguity that can drive reporters mad, but in these uncertain times seems so apropos. In late October, we got a dose of that optimism, when the European debt crisis seemed to be easing, US unemployment levels appeared to be falling, economic growth was revised upward and pundits began suggesting that maybe Christmas wouldn’t be so bad after all. There was plenty of reason to be cautiously optimistic, indeed, and the HAPPI staff found that optimism at trade shows such as the Society of Cosmetic Chemists’ Suppliers’ Day, sponsored by the California Chapter and Interclean 2011, which is put on by the International Sanitary Supply Association. Suppliers’ Day, for example, set a record in both the number of attendees and exhibitors. Meanwhile, most Interclean exhibitors noted that resilience is the word that best describes the industrial and institutional cleaning market. To find out how what’s new in I&I, turn to our coverage that starts on p. 79. Also this month, we report on the similarly stable personal cleanser category (p 67). In contrast, the fine fragrance category has experienced more ups and downs than a roller-coaster enthusiast.To find out what’s in store for the market during the all-important holiday selling season, turn to p. 55. And if IP and R&D is more your thing, check out Robert Lochhead’s insightful look at advances in hair care polymers (p. 89) or read more about Croda’s new rheology modifier (p. 92). We hope you enjoy this edition of HAPPI, as always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

ALTERNATE BEAUTY CHANNELS ARE BOOMING

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries on shopping networks are booming, according to Kline & Company. Above, Mally Roncal, founder of Mally Beauty, is on-air with QVC program host Albany Irvin.

•

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries through alternate channels have exploded, growing by nearly $1 billion since 2005, according to the latest Beauty Retailing USA 2010 report by Kline & Company. More double-digit growth is expected as consumers are increasingly drawn to the convenience of at-home shopping to meet their beauty needs. Posting 25.4% growth from 2005 to 2010, e-commerce sales are leading the way, followed by home shopping networks like QVC and HSN posting a CAGR of nearly 20%. Similarly, infomercials for brands such as Hydroxatone, Proactiv and Sheer Cover, bolstered by industry veteran Guthy-Renker

and its multi-media celebrity-endorsement approach to marketing, have recorded sales growth in excess of 17%. “Consumers are spending more time at home, either by virtue of unemployment, telecommuting, or merely a desire to save money by not going out so much,” noted Karen Doskow, consumer products industry manager at Kline. According to Doskow, instead of running out to the store to buy their beauty products, they’re watching home shopping channels and infomercials to learn the latest on new products or searching online sites to get more information. Consequently, brand marketers are exploring new tactics to build online buzz.

Daily deal sites, such as Groupon, LivingSocial, and so-called“flash sale”sites such as HauteLook, Rue La La and Gilt Group, are fueling e-commerce sales by creating awareness and enticing interest about new products or services by offering one-time discounts in order to create trial. Doskow also noted that the bricks-andmortar front is far from lagging. “Beauty has become the new revenue sweetheart in the traditionally slow-growing drug store channel as pharmacies reinvigorate their beauty offerings to lure customers with a more upscale, specialtystore look. For example, Walgreens’acquisition of Duane Reed and its high-end Look boutiques is expected to promote growth for both the chain and the channel. Meanwhile, CVS, Rite Aid, and others are offering new and improved customer loyalty programs and expanding shelf space for their beauty merchandise,”she said. Furthermore, Kline’s study reveals that as brands increasingly look to leverage mobile and e-commerce to create seamless and ubiquitous purchase options for their customers, single-channel marketing is being rendered less and less viable. “We expect a great deal of cross-channel promotion that will drive solid growth over the next five years,”predicts Doskow. “The internet and mobile technologies

Are Daily Deal Companies Here To Stay? • With email messages promising halfprice sushi, 66% off laser rejuvenation treatments, and $10 to spend at Whole Foods, daily deal companies like Groupon and LivingSocial are trying to tempt cashstrapped consumers in this web-driven, but stagnant economy. And despite recent news reports questioning the long-term viability of these companies and others like them, a new study from researchers at Rice University and Cornell University shows that daily deal companies are more popular than ever among consumers. “The key finding is that there is no ev-

idence of waning interest among consumers of daily deal promotions,”said Rice University’s Utpal Dholakia, co-author of “Daily Deal Fatigue or Unabated Enthusiasm?” “In fact, the more deals purchased by an individual, the more enthusiastic they seem to be.” Dholakia, a professor of management

at Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business, and Sheryl Kimes, professor of hospitality management at Cornell University, examined consumer perceptions of daily deal promotions.The researchers surveyed 973 respondents in August; 655 were daily deal users and 318 were not. The new study shows significant opportunity for growth among consumers, as only 16.7% of the research panel’s population has used daily deals before, and the majority of non-users (90.6%) haven’t bought a deal because of awareness or access issues. “We see significant further opportunity for trial and use of daily deals by current non-users,”Dholakia said. Overall, daily deal customers tend to have little interest in being seen as different or “fringe” in their shopping patterns, are not very careful with their personal finances and do not think about spending issues all the time. They are interested in trying new products and services to have

new experiences to talk about and influence others. They are attracted to a deal because it is a deal, and are likely to be less sensitive to the actual terms of the offer made by the merchant. “All of these psychological characteristics indicate that the underlying motivations for purchasing daily deals are complex and multifaceted, having to do with more than just saving money,” Dholakia said. The study brings into question a basic belief held by most in the daily deal industry. “There is a theory that consumers must be offered deep discounts (50% percent or more) to be interested in daily deals,”Dholakia said. “Our research shows that a significant number of consumers will continue to buy the deals even if the discounts are slightly smaller. This is a significant finding because my previous research showed that businesses find huge discounts to be unsustainable. The industry seems to be operating under the opinion that deep discounts are the only way to be successful, but that’s not the case.” The study was funded by Cornell’s Center for Hospitality Research and Rice University.

Beauty Brands and Brand Loyalty • Beauty brands like Mary Kay, Estée Lauder, Crest Whitestrips and Maybelline accounted for nearly one-third of the 2011 edition of the Brand Keys 100 Loyalty Leaders, an annual survey conducted by Brand Keys, the NewYork-based brand, customer loyalty and engagement consultancy. “Brand loyalty has always been primarily driven by emotion,” said Robert Passikoff, Brand Keys founder and president. “The rankings on the 2011 index make it clear that more than ever consumers seek to emotionally connect with brands that actually stand for something, and to connect with each other too.” The 2011 Brand Keys Loyalty Leaders List includes 528 brands in 79 categories.The top-50 ranked Brand Keys Loyalty Leaders is comprised of eight general categories. Beauty brands account for 32% of the most loyalty brands, according to the company. “The ‘emotional engagement’that women share with their favorite beauty brands is very powerful,”said Amy Shea, Brand Keys executive vice president for brand development.“But that emotional resonance extends to technology too, as consumers seek to customize their life experience more than ever.” Among the beauty brands in the top 100 that saw the greatest losses in loyalty were Chanel cosmetics and Eucerin skin moisturizer. “Some brands have, of course, suffered loyalty losses as consumers shifted to less expensive brands that had considerable meaning,”said Shea.“But brands that understand that real emotional connections can serve as a surrogate for added-value can create stronger loyalty bonds no matter the economy. The complete 2011 rankings can be found online at the Brand Keys website. More info: http://brandkeys.com/awards/leaders_11.cfm • November 2011

On completion, Unilever intends to launch a mandatory tender offer to acquire the remaining shares that are not part of the initial agreement, at such time and on terms mandated by Russian law. In other news, Unilever has unveiled its expanded production facilities in Indonesia, which it says will help drive sustainable growth for the company in developing and emerging markets.

FORMALDEHYDE IS UNSAFE IN HAIR STRAIGHTENERS • At its 120th meeting in Washington, DC in September, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (CIR) reached its final conclusion on the safety of formaldehyde and methylene glycol as used in hair straightening products and found them to be unsafe under present conditions of use. CIR, an independent, non-profit body of scientific and medical experts that assesses the safety of ingredients used in cosmetics in the US, initiated the review at the request of the Food and Drug Administration, the Professional Beauty Association and the Personal Care Products Council (the Council). The panel noted that the safety of methylene glycol and formaldehyde in hair straightening products depends on a number of factors, including the concentration of formaldehyde and methylene glycol, the amount of product applied, the temperature used during the application process, and the ventilation provided at the point of use. The panel concluded that under present practices of use and concentration, formaldehyde and methylene glycol are unsafe in hair straightening products. “CIR reached its conclusion after a comprehensive review of the available safety data and information and a robust discussion of this difficult and complex issue. We support the panel’s findings,” said Jay Ansell, Council scientist and vice president of cosmetic programs.

Candle Recalls For Dollar Tree, Katie Brown The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with retailer Dollar Tree Stores Inc., Chesapeake, VA, and importer Greenbrier International Inc., Chesapeake, VA, have voluntarily recalled approximately 117,000 glass votive candleholders. According to the CPSC, the glass votive candleholders can shatter while in use, posing a fire and laceration hazard to consumers. The firm has received one report of the glass votive candleholder shattering. No injuries have been reported. This recall involves frosted or clear glass votive candleholders with French vanilla scented candles. The votive candleholders are 2 1/2 inches tall. Model number 976127 and date code 1010 are printed on the bottom of the glass votive candleholder. The SKUs were sold at Dollar Tree, Dollar Bill$, Deal$ and Dollar Tree Deal$ stores nationwide from December 2010 through April 2011. They were manufactured in India. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission also announced a voluntary recall of Katie Brown 12-piece tea light candle sets from Meijer Inc., of Grand Rapids, MI.

NSF International Expands Standards • NSF International’s American National Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients (NSF/ANSI 305) has been expanded to allow plant-based ingredients that are certified to European Union (EU) organic regulations. As a result, companies formulating personal care products for compliance with the NSF/ANSI 305 Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients standard are now able to source from both US National Organic Program (NOP)-certified ingredients and EU-certified ingredients suppliers. The NSF/ANSI 305 standard promotes the widespread use of organic agriculture beyond the food sector. Similar to USDA NOP regulations, the NSF/ANSI 305 standard defines labeling and marketing requirements but specifically for personal care products (e.g. oral care and personal hygiene products) that contain organic ingredients. It also establishes requirements for

agricultural ingredients and methods of extraction based on the final product’s label claim. EU organic regulations EC 834/2007 & EC 889/2008 define requirements on organic production and labeling of organic products. NSF/ANSI 305 is the only consensus-based standard for personal care products containing organic ingredients. The American National Standard was developed based on balanced participation from key stakeholder groups including: regulators, personal care manufacturers, trade associations, product retailers and other stakeholders from the organic and personal care products communities. “NSF/ANSI 305 opens up new growth opportunities for personal care companies whose products contain organic ingredients and speaks to the globalization of the cosmetic supply chain. Allowing equivalent EU-certified ingredients will harmonize NSF/ANSI 305 with global organic production without any loss of organic integrity,”said Jane Wilson, standards director of NSF International, a US standards development, testing and certification organization committed to protecting the environment and public health. With the increasing interest of global harmonization, companies certified to other international standards, such as the NaTrue European standard, will move closer to complying with NSF/ANSI 305. Companies which certify their products to the NSF standard demonstrate to consumers, retailers, health care practitioners and regulators that certified products have been independently evaluated to meet the standard requirements. The NSF/ANSI 305 personal care logo identifies personal care products that have achieved certification to the standard. Aiming to provide a standardized way to define and report the environmental and human health hazards associated with a chemical product and its manufacturing process impacts, NSF and the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI) also recently developed an American National Standard, NSF/GCI/ANSI (American National Standards Institute) 355 Greener Chemicals and Processes Information Standard.

“California is expected to have 8,250 new cases of melanoma in 2011, or approximately 12% of the estimated 70,000 cases nationwide,” said dermatologist Ann F. Haas, MD, FAAD, past president of the California Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. “Melanoma incidence rates have been increasing for the last 30 years, but have been growing most rapidly—3% per year—since 1992 among young women ages 15 to 39. We encourage other states to follow California’s lead and help slow the incidence of potentially deadly skin cancer by prohibiting the use of commercial tanning devices by minors,”added Haas. SB 746 replaces the current law, which requires 14-17 year olds to obtain parental permission to use a tanning bed. Currently, children under 14 are prohibited from using tanning beds. The new bill will take effect Jan. 1, 2012. More info: www.calderm.org

California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed Senate Bill 746, which prohibits minors from using tanning beds.The legislation makes California the first state in the US to have such a ban on the practice for those under the age of 18. Studies show that exposure to UV radiation from artificial tanning devices is associated with a 75% increased risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, and non-melanoma skin cancer, such as squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, according to a statement by the Governor’s office. Nearly 30 million people in the US, including 2.3 million teens, use tanning booths annually despite warnings from public health agencies about their potential to cause skin cancer. 34 • happi

ANOTHER NATURAL PRESERVATIVE AND MUCH MORE IN THE NEWS

I

for my semi-annual review of various newspaper articles relating to the cosmetic industry. The first item is about a possible new preservative to prevent bacterial contamination—oil from coriander seeds. This spice, widely used in Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean cooking, is called cilantro when fresh leaves of the plant are used. For years, researchers have suggested that the oil can act as an antibacterial agent, but it was a recent study, published in The Journal of Medical Microbiology, that describes how it works. It was found that coriander oil damages the membrane of bacterial cells. This blocks the cell from essential processes like respiration, and ultimately leads to the organism’s death. The researchers tested the effect of coriander oil on 12 different bacterial strains, including E. coli, salmonella and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Most of the bacteria were killed by solutions containing less than 1.6% of the oil. With further testing, this oil might one day be widely used as a food or cosmetic preservative. T IS TIME

Not So Smart Two companies fromTexas claimed that their smart phones could cure acne.They advised their customers to hold the display screen next to the area of the skin to be treated for a few minutes while the app was activated. Called“AcneApp”and“Acne Pwner,”these apps claimed to be able to cure your acne by using blue and red light therapy. AcnePwner, which was on sale for $0.99 on the Android Market was downloaded approximately 3,300 times. AcneApp was on sale at the Apple App Store for $1.99 and had approximately 11,600 downloads. The Federal Trade Commission disagreed with the wild claims and the two companies agreed to stop making claims and agreed to pay fines—AcnePwner’s developer paid $1,700 and AcneApp’s developer paid $14,294.The cases are the first that the FTC has filed targeting health claims in the mobile app marketplace. The makers of Clearasil probably breathed a sigh of relief. In another skin care revolution, an Associated Press article highlighted a natural product that is being used as a skin scrub or exfoliant—it’s called salt. Ahava, a beauty company from Israel, gets its salt from the Dead Sea, which also contains minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium, which are believed to be soothing and relaxing. A finer grade of salt will polish, not scratch the skin. Allure published a home recipe for a salt scrub as follows: • 1 cup almond, sesame, olive or vegetable oil • 1 cup kosher, table, or Epsom salt. Heat oil in microwave oven for 45 seconds. Add salt until a paste is formed.

It affects nearly 2% of the global population and has no universally effective treatment. Sometimes the hair regrows, sometimes it does not, and sometimes the regrowth falls out years later. Researchers at Columbia University found eight genes that are involved in the mechanisms of this strange disease. One of them acts like a beacon for the body’s killer immune cells. In people with alopecia areta, this gene is over abundant in hair follicles, leading to rapid hair loss. On a related note, skin product sales to men now top $200 million a year, according to Time. Of course, not every man—particularly a fighting man—is into makeup.That’s why Michele Probst, founder of Menaji Cosmetics, ships her products to soldiers in packages that are disguised to look more like cigar boxes than compact cases. It’s all part of her strategy to appeal directly to men and that means never referring to products as makeup. “The M word is cancer to us,”Probst told Time.“We are skin care that looks good.”•

Eyeing the Market In Italy, color cosmetics sales rose 2.7% last year to nearly $1.5 billion, according to trade body Unipro. Color cosmetics are the third largest sector in the Italian cosmetics and toiletries market. Eye products, in particular, contributed to this growth, putting on an impressive 29.6% to total $240 million, but sales of lip products slid 9.8% to $90 million. Mascaras were also a focus in Italy when it came to NPD and much emphasis was put on both wand design and formulation with mineral and organic ingredients coming to the fore a lot more. Collistar’s LashPlump Complex incorporates bamboo extracts, which adhere to the lashes, giving them a thicker, more voluminous appearance. This product has been popular with consumers probably also because it comes from a home-grown company, as the Italians are very loyal to domestic companies when choosing their color wares—Deborah and Pupa are two other good examples here.

The panel included Dr. Reynold Tan from the FDA, Dominique Moyal from L’Oréal, Mike Brown from Boots LLC, Joe Stanfield from Suncare Labs, Olga Dueva-Koganov from Akzo, Joe Stanton from Dermatest Australia and me. The controversial topics, each handled by two speakers, one arguing for and one against, included the following questions: 1. Are in vitro SPF methods viable? 2. Does a critical wavelength of 370nm or higher provide adequate UVA protection? 3. Should SPF be labeled as tested? 4. Should SPFs be limited by limiting the amount of sunscreen allowed in a product? 5. Should SPF be capped at 50? The answers to all those questions, as well as the abstracts and bios for the speakers are available from the Florida Society of Cosmetic Chemists.1 Dr. Tan, the person in charge of sunscreen regulations at the FDA, participated in both the Florida Sunscreen Symposium and the HAPPI webinar.

dosage forms in their various forms. Q. What is the status of the existing inventory that may be at retail beyond 6/17/2012? For direct selling companies, can“non-compliant products” that enter the US before June 18, 2012 be sold until expiration or only until June 2013? A. This question should be directed to the FDA’s Office of Compliance.This is a question of when a product is introduced into interstate commerce. OTC sunscreen products covered by the OTC monograph system that enter interstate commerce as of June 18, 2012 must comply with the sunscreen testing and labeling requirements in the 2011 sunscreen final rule. Q. Are there any updates on the dosage form of “wipes” or “towelettes?” A. We do not currently consider “wipes” or “towelettes” eligible for inclusion in the OTC sunscreen monograph. See the 2011 ANPR on dosage forms for FDA’s explanation. Q. What is the process for a manufacturer of an ineligible dosage form that does not fall within aTEA to receive marketing authorization? Testing requirements? Approval process? (Follow-up question: What do we need to do to continue packaging SPF in a wipe form?) A. The only recourse for these manufacturers is to submit a Time and Extent Application or a New Drug Application for their product.The manufacturer could submit a citizen petition to amend the monograph, but citizen petitions require that the amendment apply to drug conditions for drug products eligible for inclusion in an OTC monograph. Therefore, the manufacturer would have to demonstrate that its product is eligible for inclusion in the OTC 44 • happi

sunscreen monograph. Q. Is bar soap an eligible dosage form? A. The only dosage forms that FDA currently considers eligible for inclusion in the OTC sunscreen monograph are oils, lotions, creams, gels, butters, pastes, ointments, sticks and sprays. In order to be eligible for inclusion in a monograph, all of the drug product’s conditions of use, which include its active ingredient, strength, route of administration, specific OTC use or indication and dosage form, must have existed in the OTC drug marketplace on or before May 11, 1972. Q. How should makeup mineral powders with SPF be treated from a regulatory testing and labeling point of view? A. Labeling with an SPF value implies that the product is used for protection against happi.com

Q. If TiO2 is used as a pigment/opacifier, at low concentrations (~0.1%) and not claimed as an OTC active, can it still be used in an SPF formula with avobenzone? A. In this drug product example, the TiO2 must be considered to be an inactive ingredient in compliance with 21 CFR 330.1(e). That regulation requires that inactive ingredients must not interfere with the effectiveness of the drug product or with suitable tests or assays to determine if the product meets its professed standards of identity, strength, quality and purity. The TiO2 must also not be intended to furnish a drug effect or activity, in compliance with the active ingredient definition in 21 CFR 210.3(b) (7). Dr.Tan’s answers to the questions are most helpful. Unfortunately, they address only a limited amount of the many inquiries that have surfaced since their announcement of the Final Rule. There has been a range of responses to the FDA’s Final Ruling. Already, several sunscreen manufacturers have expressed displeasure over the FDA’s proposed limitation of the SPF to 50+ that is in line with most other international regulations. Johnson & Johnson, Energizer Personal Care and others have submitted public comments in opposition to this rule. J&J said in its comments filed last month, “By capping the SPF at 50, many consumers will no longer have the choice to use higher protection levels that they currently find suitable for their individual needs. Higher SPF sunscreens are safe, effective and are an essential cornerstone of helping to keep the public protected from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.”2 Members of the Personal Care Product November 2011

Council (The Council), however, seem to be divided on this issue. Farah Ahmed from The Council indicated that many companies represented in her trade organization are neutral on this issue. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has formally responded to the FDA’s Final Rule announcement by supporting the government’s position on capping the SPF at 50+. EWG, however, criticized the Final Rule for not being comprehensive.3 With postponements of the comment period and with this heated debate still brewing, the finalization of the Proposed Final Rule (capping of the SPF) and the ANPR (decision on the spray products) will probably be delayed allowing both sides of these issues to submit their data and supporting material. Some observers remain wary. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), who had previously proposed legislation in Congress that would require the FDA to finalize the sunscreen

regulations (including the SPF proposal) within 180 days, has issued a statement through his press secretary, Chip Unruh, in which he states,“We’re watching it closely and don’t want this process dragged on any further than it has.”4 New advances in our understanding of sun protection also surfaced during the past few months. A number of reports were published in professional journals, trade magazines and on the internet, including a study from Kings College London led by Antony Young. He found that UVA rays are more carcinogenic than previously realized. Dr. Young wrote, “The damage seemed to increase as it went through the epidermis, and we think that it is due to a form of backscatter. In other words, the damage goes through and it is somehow reflected back.”5 They also found that sunlight streaming through windows may increase the risk of

skin cancer. Windows filter out the sunburn-causing UVB rays, yet allows 100% of the UVA radiation through. The research also highlights the dangers of using a sun tanning bed, which emits mostly UVA radiation. In October, the Governor of California, Jerry Brown, signed into legislation a new law that prevents minors under the age of 18 from using tanning beds.6 Recently, researchers at Rutgers University and Washington University published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that suggest that topical caffeine may help lower the risk of UV-induced skin cancer. They found that caffeine inhibits a protein enzyme found in skin, thereby protecting against skin cancers. The study suggests that caffeine would be beneficial in sunscreen formulations to increase skin protection against UV-induced skin cancers.7 Another study by researchers from

The Sunscreen Filter

King’s College London, in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Maine, discovered a natural compound produced by coral that could be suitable for use in sunscreens. Dr. Paul Long from King’s College stated, “We already knew that coral and some algae can protect themselves from the harsh UV rays in tropical climates by producing their own sunscreens but, until now, we did not know how.”8 Coral is generally found in shallow waters and therefore naturally produces a type of UV filter for protection from the sun’s UV rays. It is this natural sunscreen that scientists hope to synthetically re-create for human use. Other noteworthy topics that appeared recently included an article entitled“FDA Rule for broad spectrum labeling: Key substrate findings” by Heliosun Labs9 and another entitled“Antioxidants in sunscreens for improved ROS protection,”

jointly authored by the researchers at the University of California-Riverside and Merck Consumer Care.10 During the past few months, interested parties came to the table to discuss the current and future state of sunscreens.The debates are far from over, however, a constructive dialogue has begun. Our industry has the infrastructure to present, discuss and act upon the best proposed changes. FDA, The Society of Cosmetic Chemists, academic investigations and consumer watch groups have had numerous opportunities to add perspective to a heated debate. •

Breakthrough Active Naturals

Grow in Personal Care Sector Two hot topics, anti-aging and naturals, combine to create a dynamic growth sector in the global personal care market. Imogen Matthews • In-Cosmetics

W

HILE GROWTH in the global personal care market has been affected by the economic downturn, consumer demand for naturals has remained strong. Satisfying this demand, though, is very much a case of balancing contrasting needs, including the desire for scientifically proven ingredients alongside more natural products. Euromonitor confirms that growth in personal care ingredients is slowing and forecast to grow at less than 2% per annum through 2013. The recession has certainly impacted product choices, while growth has been restricted due to the maturity of certain markets in developed countries. One area that is bucking the trend is natural/organic personal care products, although it remains a niche market. A much greater opportunity is coming from mainstream brands that are adding botanical extracts to their products. An example is L’Oréal-owned Vichy, which has incorporated rhamnose, a naturally-derived active ingredient found in a Brazilian plant, into its newest Liftactiv Derm Source anti-aging range. With seven pending patents, as many clinical studies and two in vivo studies, this ingredient was chosen out of 50 potential ingredients byVichy scientists for its ability to stimulate activity in what it terms the“superficial”dermis, described at the compartment of the skin that helps regenerate youthful characteristics, such as firmness and smoothness. As demonstrated by this example, even

November 2011

with natural ingredients, the science is still extremely important. According to Euromonitor, natural products won’t succeed unless there is enough scientific evidence to convince increasingly demanding consumers. Its research suggests that antioxidant ingredients from naturals, such as polyphenols, plant extracts and ACE vitamins, are one area that is continuing to develop, due to widespread consumer recognition of their role in natural protection. An interesting development noted by Euromonitor has been a strong focus on ingredient blends and blending of multiple agents, rather than the use of a single active ingredient. One recent significant launch that reflects that trend is La Roche-Posay’s Derm AOX anti-aging serum, which is said to be the first serum to tackle both oxidation and glycation, believed to be the twin causes of older-looking skin. The product combines a blend of active ingredients to achieve this, including vitamin C and pycnogenol (pine extract) to act as antioxidants and carnosine to inhibit the glycation process and maintain skin suppleness.

Botanicals Dominate According to Anna Ibbotson, industry manager for chemicals and materials practice at Kline, botanicals dominate the ingredients market due to their natural happi.com

positioning and the extensive range of products available that address almost any skin care related functionality. “Botanical suppliers are periodically launching new products, therefore expanding the already wide range of products available,”she points out.“They are looking to new sources for a combination of efficiency and a positive image in the mind of the consumer. Differentiation between different products is done on their source and efficacy data linked to a particular product.” Through its long-term analysis of“truly natural” versus “natural inspired” formulations, Kline has discovered that a number of brands have improved their formulations to become more natural. They include Avalon Organics, Aveda, Jurlique, Korres, L’Occitane, The Body Shop and Tom’s of Maine. However, one of the main challenges facing companies wanting to include active naturals in their formulations is that the consumer does not always know the difference between what Kline describes as truly natural, pseudo natural or natural inspired products. happi • 49

• Active Naturals

Nancy Mills, industry manager, consumer products practice, Kline, explains why:“This is because of lack of awareness in general, although this is reversing at different rates in different regions, confusion about natural certifications and the varying legal requirements for labeling. For example, in China and India, full ingredient disclosure is not required by law.” A further challenge facing companies is the cost of formulating efficacious products naturally, which is still high compared to not using natural ingredients. This is especially true for certain categories, such as hair care. “The consumer doesn’t know what to choose. Even if he or she is willing to pay more for natural products, they don’t know if it is worth it and why in many cases,” maintains Mills.“So formulating truly naturally is not always paying off for marketers, even though Kline believes that in the medium- to long-term it will.”

Specialty Actives & Anti-Aging Specialty actives, such as surfactants and rheology control, continue to outpace personal care ingredient growth, according to Ibbotson. “Historically, activity was the most important purchase criteria, but as consumers become more‘savvy’they want an ingredient with a natural source,” she explains. “Animal-derived products in most categories are less desirable than something that is plant based.” According to Kline, European consumption of specialty actives for personal care applications is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of approximately 4.6% by value for the next five years. For this growth estimation, price fluctuations are not taken into consideration and are held constant over the next five years. According to Kline, the overall specialty actives market is expected to take advantage of the general growth of the personal care industry.

Anti-aging actives account for almost two-thirds of total European consumption of specialty actives for personal care, notes Kline, with sales estimated at approximately $212 million in 2010. “In terms of finished products, antiaging ingredients represent the best opportunity for specialty actives due to their important share of the personal care market, but also due to their usual higher price compared to other product types,” concludes Ibbotson. As one of the most important themes in personal care, anti-aging is likely to continue to be a key focus for formulators, according to Euromonitor’s research, suggesting that further scientific research into the most effective ingredients, many of them natural, is inevitable. • In-Cosmetics 2012 will take place April 17-19 in Barcelona.

HallStar Combines SCIENCE & NATURE With the acquisitions of Biochemica and B&T, Hallstar is bringing serious science to the natural personal care segment. Tom Branna • Editorial Director

H

ALLSTAR CHAIRMAN,

president and CEO John Paro is confident that his team is creating the right formula for success. The recent acquisitions of BioChemica and B&T S.r.l, gave HallStar entry into the fast-growing natural personal care business. At the same time, the company will impart its strong sciencebacked heritage to the newly-acquired businesses. Of course, BioChemica and B&T provide plenty of growth opportunities for HallStar, which has been a leader in the global ester business for decades. “By entering the natural ingredient segment, we can increase sales to existing customers by 40%,”Paro said.“And we are bringing HallStar-type science into the natural space.” Both BioChemica and B&T are natural ingredient suppliers, but Paro is quick to note that each has expertise in very different types of products. For instance, BioChemica offers a broad range of exotic butters that formulators are putting into hair and skin care products both for the unique benefits of the individual butters and as natural replacements for hydrocarbon based emollients. “They’re easy to use in formulations,” he explained. “We offer a wide range of natural and vegetal derived butters from the tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia.” B&T, in contrast, has a rich heritage in olive oil. Its line of products includes liq52 • happi

“Photostability is not only a sun care issue. Rather, photostability expertise needs to be applied to any skin care or hair care ingredient which is subject to light or photodegradation.” —John Paro uid crystal/PEG-free emulsifiers, mild surfactants, stabilizing agents, emollients and active ingredients all derived from proprietary olive-based chemistry. Moreover, B&T researchers are performing claim-substantiation tests on a wide range of natural ingredients, which comhappi.com

plements what BioChemica and, ultimately, HallStar, can offer personal care product formulators. Most importantly, customers are already reaping the benefits from the acquisitions. “The early returns are more gratifying than we thought,”said Paro.“There’s been a lot of cross-fertilization of HallStar customers wanting a BioChemica butter or a B&T customer wanting a HallStar photostabilizer.”

The Right Fit It’s that seemingly limitless combination of opportunities that excites the HallStar CEO. After all, HallStar’s expertise in photostability of sun care ingredients is widely known. The company made its mark on the personal care industry years ago when it demonstrated that avobenzone was a photo-unstable sunscreen filter that must be stabilized with other ingredients, such as HallBrite PSF, an organomodified silicone that quenches the triplet excited state. Most recently, HallStar launched SolaStay S1 (INCI: ethylhexyl methoxycrylene), which photostabilizes the combination of octinoxate and avobenzone and is said to work up to 1000 times faster than octocrylene to protect against a loss of absorbance. Now, the company wants formulators to use its technology to photostabilize other ingredients. “Photostability is not only a sun care November 2011

issue. Rather, photostability expertise needs to be applied to any skin care or hair care ingredient which is subject to light or photodegradation,”Paro said. At the recent Sunscreen Symposium sponsored by the Florida Chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, HallStar’s Craig Bonda explained that retinol and retinyl palmitate are highly sensitive to UV radiation, undergoing rapid isomerization and leading to the production of photoproducts. But by incorporating a photostabilizer such as SolaStay S1 into their finished products, personal care formulators can protect their skin care actives. SolaStay S1 has been documented to photostabilize 0.1% retinol or 0.1% resveratrol at a use level of about 4%. Greater photostability means there is less potential for photoproducts and, presumably, toxicity. Incorporating photostabilizers into certain compounds can also reduce manufacturing costs, as Paro noted that some lightsensitive materials are currently manufactured in dark rooms, which adds to production expenses. “We want to get the message of photostability into the skin and hair care markets, which are so much larger than the sun care market. It increases the market that we can serve,”he said. To ensure that its message is heard, the HallStar team is reaching out to dermatologists and their related societies. Paro said that dermatologists are concerned by the problems of photostability of skin care products and are eager for solutions. “We have initially targeted the dermatology channel with these new findings, and have already seen some early launches of hybrid sun care products with anti-aging claims, all enabled by SolaNovember 2011

Stay. We now intend to leverage these early successes into the larger sun and skin care brands.”

Global Opportunities As it expands its portfolio, HallStar is also expanding its global footprint with Centers of Excellence. The Chicago center focuses on photostability and formulation; the Italian center is focused on naturals and the Akron, OH center is focused on customer care. In the coming months and years, Paro expects to grow the personal care business aggressively in Europe, Brazil and China and has the funds to put market development resources, including formulating expertise, in all three places. At the same time, the company’s global manufacturing footprint strategy enables HallStar to manufacture personal care esters throughout the world. About 75% of HallStar’s nearly $200 million in annual sales come from the US. Revenues are evenly divided between personal care and polymer additives. As it heads toward 2012, the company’s three-pronged strategy for growth in personal care— photostabilizer sales, natural ingredient sales, and market development and penetration—is firmly in place. “We have a threeyear strategy laid out and the resources to back it up,” said Paro. “We have a plan to increase our investment happi.com

globally and move forward with confidence.” Paro said he’s proud of the fact that HallStar didn’t make a single layoff during the 2007-2008 recession and is firm in his commitment to maintain his growth plan no matter what challenges lie ahead in 2012. As it integrates the recent acquisitions of BioChemica and B&T, Paro said that his company will continue to seek new opportunities. “HallStar will consider acquisitions to expand key personal care product lines and to increase its global manufacturing footprint.”•

All They Want for Christmas… …is to maintain momentum. Fragrance is showing signs of life once again, but can welcome gains in prestige stick around through the critical holiday season? Christine Esposito • Associate Editor

I

F FRAGRANCE MARKETERS had just one wish this holiday season, it would be for more of the same. After a few years in the doldrums, it appears the ship has finally been righted in the fine fragrance sector. According to The NPD Group, Port Washington, NY, sales of women’s prestige fragrances for the first half of 2011 were up 8% and men’s rose 14% to $684 million and $335 million, respectively. That’s a far cry from numbers reported just a few years ago. “Two-thousand eight/2009 was absolutely horrible.The fragrance world stood still,”Rochelle Bloom, president of the Fragrance Foundation, told HAPPI.“Consumers felt that if they had to give up something, fragrance was it, as opposed to a lipstick or face cream.” But that started to change in Fall 2010—and although the sector has yet to hit prerecession levels and the mass market is still lagging behind (see chart on p. 56), prestige-side gains have been steady and more than welcome by marketers and retailers alike.

Getting Juicy Not only has there been a resurgence category wise, there’s been a shift in where consumers are spending their dollars when it comes to fragrance. According to Karen Grant, vice president and global beauty industry analyst at NPD, consumers appear November 2011

more interested in actual EDTs and EDPs than they had been in the recent past. “We see growth in juices,” she said, noting that while gift sets remain big, “that isn’t where the growth is.” Some view the sea of gift sets on department store counters during the holiday season as an impediment, not an incentive. “Brands know how to make fragrance extremely appealing visually, but anyone who knows me, knows that I have always believed that piling up gift sets upon gift sets at counter during the season is literally counter-productive,” said Bloom. “Those piles of gifts do nothing to appeal to the consumer and I would venture to say down-grade the very essence of fragrance as a work of art, a fashion accessory and an affordable luxury purchase.” Yet, the Christmas holiday season is critical for fragrance marketers; companies invest time and resources into specially packed arrays and other collectibles designed to make them an easy gift option. Estée Lauder, for example, is offering the Good Fortune Metal Compact and Solid Perfume Compact Collection, part of its yearly limited-edition offerings. The items are ornamented with semi-precious stones—think agate, malachite, lapis and rose quartz—with Estée Lauder’s Beautiful, Youth-Dew, Sensuous, Pleasures and White Linen fragrances. happi.com

Jingle G is the newest fragrance from Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers collection.

Even venerable Chanel has rolled out fragrance “luxuries” that it calls ”ideal for gifting.” It is offering demi-parfums of its five most-celebrated scents—No. 5, Coco Mademoiselle, No. 19, Allure and Coco— in a deluxe gift box that is priced at $120 (see more holiday offerings on p. 58).

Her newest scent, Diane, which hit counters in mid-September, opens with notes of frangipani and also features violet leaves and base notes of myrrh, musk and patchouli. Meanwhile Elizabeth Arden has teamed up with John Varvatos and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s Rocawear on the men’s side. According to Varvatos, John Varvatos USA is a scent for those who “challenge perceptions of reality, because they are the ones who open up doors we never knew existed.” Working with Givaudan senior perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, the juice is said to boast“a game of contrasts,”specifically a mix of warm woody notes with unexpected freshness that conveys a relaxed attitude with masculinity.Top notes include red ginger essence from Laos, juniper berries and cedrat from Sicily.

Grammy nominated Trey Songz has been tapped to serve as the scent’s frontman. Coty, too, has been casing the runways for inspiration. The beauty firm recently inked a new deal with Elite, the wellknown modeling agency. Announced in September, executives from Coty Beauty and Elite will team up on an international fragrance launch that will include a comprehensive media campaign as well as synergies with the Elite Model Look Contest. Details are still currently in development and will be announced closer to the launch, according to Coty. “The marketing behind the Elite Mod-

The first scent to don the Mercedes Benz name is hitting the streets.

INCC Group, it will be available at selected specialist retailers in the first quarter of 2012. The juice, which was composed by perfumer Olivier Cresp of Firmenich, combines woody notes with floral freshness, according to the German luxury automobile maker. Top notes include Calabrian bergamot, lemon essence and Italian mandarin. The middle note features a warm, spicy mix of bourbon pepper, nutmeg, violet and galbanum resin. The base note provides a spicy finish to the perfume and includes American cedar wood, vetiver, grass and patchouli.

jasmine, plum, patchouli and oak moss. Givenchy Dahlia Noir, the first fragrance developed under the creative direction of Riccardo Tisci, has a multifaceted composition including mandarin, pink pepper, mimosa, sandalwood and vanilla. Prada Candy, with notes of musk and caramel, is feminine, sweet, sophisticated and comes in a bottle that features joyful colors and the iconic pink Saffiano leather stripe with raised gold Prada letters. Another luxury fragrance firm, Bond No. 9, has rolled out back-to-back scent stories this fall. The first, I Love NewYork, features a trio of juices. I Love NewYork for Her, in a pink bottle, is a pastry gourmand of rich vanilla frosting. The opening notes—mandarin zest and a blueberry muffin accord— segue into roses, pink peonies and patchouli with a drydown of musk, vanilla bourbon and soft leather accord. I Love New York for Him, in a blue bottle, has opening notes of grapefruit zest, juniper berry and ginger, with midnotes of lavender, geranium and leather and base notes of sandalwood, musk and amber. Lastly, in a black bottle, I Love New York for All is gourmand at its heart: coffee beans, cacao, and chestnut. Initially it energizes with bergamot, lily of the valley and pepper, and

has base notes of patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla, according to the luxury fragrance house. On the heels of I Love NewYork comes New York Amber, which hit counters on Nov. 1. According to Bond, founder Laurice Rahme has taken this legendary old-world classic and transformed it into a “self-assured, highly seductive, highly persuasive metro-perfume.” It is billed as a shared male-female blend, which has musky, earthy, honey-like tree resin as its key ingredient and a liquor-gold color. Its starter spice notes—saffron, nutmeg and white peppercorns—are lightened up with zesty bergamot. A classic bouquet of rose, jasmine and osmanthus takes over, with lingering base notes that include amber, oud, sandalwood, musk and myrrh. And, as this article headed to press, news broke of a new Andy Warhol scent from Bond, its sixth in the series.

Whether or not mass market fragrance gets its groove back remains to be seen, but the resurgence of prestige fragrance couldn’t have come at a better time with the everimportant holiday season heating up. Big picture-wise, analysts including Deloitte and Accenture have predicted mild gains for retailers this holiday season, tamped down a slow economic recovery, continued uncertainty and shoppers who are faced with higher prices for everyday staples like food and apparel. Still, September retail sales numbers (the most recent at press time) were mainly positive, with Saks, Target and Bath & Body Works among those posting gains. According to Accenture’s annual consumer holiday shopping study, 72% percent of US consumers expect their holiday spending to be “careful” or “controlled” in 2011.The million-dollar question is whether or they will buy scent as a gift for their friends and family—or for themselves. Bloom is cautiously optimistic about the prospects. As she told HAPPI,“…going into 2011 holiday season we see definite signs of life. While not massive growth, I think we might see a growth between 3 and 5%, which would certainly be encouraging.”• November 2011

SINK or Swim? Marketers try to boost sales of bar soaps and body washes with innovative ingredients, alluring packaging and savvy campaigns. Melissa Meisel • Associate Editor

VEN THOUGH SOME household budgets may be tighter these days, consumers are staying loyal to their tried-and-true bath and body products— as evidenced by the maintenance of the personal cleanser category in the marketplace. After all, fashion photographer Cecil Beaton once said,“What is elegance? Soap and water.” Being clean never goes out of style. But it takes more than the basic function of freshening up to move a product from store shelf to shopping bag. According to data from SymphonyIRI Group, a Chicago-based market research firm, soap sales at FDMx outlets (excluding Walmart) rose 1.5% to $2.1 billion for the

52 weeks ended Sept. 4, 2011. Deodorant bar soap sales fell 8% to $169.4 million, even with large contributions from leading brands Irish Spring and Dial; while sales of non-deodorant bar soaps like Dove and Ivory rose 3% to $568 million. Hand sanitizer sales, mostly consisting of private label brands, plunged 35% to $92.7 million, while heavy-duty hand cleaners like Lava fell 12% to $3.4 million. Liquid body washes, led by Axe and Suave, rose 9% to $917.4 million; liquid hand soap, driven by Softsoap sales, increased 3% to $363.6 million. Bath product (bath fragrances/bubble bath) sales rose 6% to $60.1 million. Innovations in the soap, bath and

shower product market revolve around a range of product claims, according to market research firm Mintel in its report, Soap, Bath & Shower Products 2011. For example, natural/organic positioning is a key market trend, with brands offering exotic ingredients such as arnica, milk thistle and seaweed. Multifunctional products, such as Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Crazy for Love 3-in-1 skin and hair wash, are also trending higher in 2011. Extra moisturizing is also popular. For example, Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Deep Moisture body wash is said to feature seven intensive moisturizers, softening conditioners, healing aloe and skin-nurtur-

ing vitamins, according to Mintel. And, vitamin-infused products seek to leverage the health and wellness trend in the 2011 market, such as Jafra Beauty Rituals Ancient Cleansing Oil, which is said to be “elaborated” with vitamins. Accompanying the trend toward using active ingredients within the soap and shower product is the “enabling” delivery system, according to Anna Ibbotson, industry manager, chemicals and materials, Kline & Company. In short, it’s all about millicapsules. “Millicapsules are large enough to be

seen in clear formulations and are primarily used to achieve a perceived marketing advantage by selling a product (for example, a shampoo or body wash) that contains suspended colored balls,” she told HAPPI. “Several colors can be displayed in a product and this enables the finished product to stand out in retail displays and shelving, therefore attracting consumers through this instant eye appeal.”

People, Places & Things Now more than ever, successful I&I companies have the right mix of personnel, categories and effective products. Tom Branna • Editorial Director

A

T FIRST GLANCE, the industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning market would seem to be hurting. After all, the global economy appears shaky, no major health threats are boosting interest in disinfectants and sanitizers, and the once strong green movement appears to have lost some of its momentum. And yet, most major players in the category are upbeat about 2011 results and 2012 prospects. They are confident that they’ve found the right balance that includes an aggressive sales force, product mix and new product launches to remain ahead of Procter & Gamble Professional’s Comet disinfecting bath cleaner, Spic n Span 3-in1 disinfectant and the competition for the foreseeable future.

Ecolab purchased Nalco to provide solutions to the 50% of its customers who require help with water issues.

Building Businesses And more frequently, company executives are discovering that they need to find new ways to generate revenue in this uneven economy. For example, Ecolab made a bold move earlier this year by acquiring Nalco, a purchase that gave the world’s largest I&I player entry into the fast-growing water treatment business. In a conference call with analysts, Ecolab CFO Steve Fritze noted that water is central to Ecolab’s strategy. “Over 50% of our customers require help with water,”he explained. “Food and beverage is a huge consumer of water, along with hotels, restaurants and health care.“ Fritze told analysts that water scarcity issues have closed food and beverage plants in some countries. It’s no wonder, then, that he said the Nalco acquisition has enabled Ecolab to expand its business opportunity from $57 billion to more than $100 billion. “We have the wind at our back in terms of macrotrends,”he insisted. Ecolab has identified five pillars of growth: • Extend corporate account leadership globally (and) take a disproportionate share in corporate accounts; • Develop a leadership position in emerging markets. Win in China and Brazil. In fact, Ecolab is already No. 1 in China; • Become water, energy and waste experts in its market; • Build healthcare to be a core business; and • Expand global business centered around Europe. At the same time, Ecolab is now better positioned to help its existing customers make good on their promises. “Look at the sustainability pledges made by food and beverage makers—they don’t have all the solutions, but Nalco is a leader there,”Fritze told analysts.

The Deal Is Sealed Not quite so clear is Sealed Air’s $4.3 billion acquisition of Diversey, which was closed last month. Although company executives maintain that the move gives the bubble wrap maker further opportunities into the area of food safety, some observers say that’s a bit of 80 • happi

a stretch. After all, they reason, just how closely allied are Cryovac and hard surface cleaners? Still, the Sealed Air brass is confident that their acquisition will be a boon to the company, shareholders and, of course, end users. “Today marks the beginning of an exciting new era of opportunity for Sealed Air, our employees, and the customers we serve,” said William V. Hickey, president and chief executive officer of Sealed Air when the deal closed on Oct. 3.“We are now a global leader in protection with inventive solutions in food safety and security, facility hygiene and product packaging that protect what we eat and drink, where we go, and the valuable goods we ship.” According to Hickey, the company is committed to deliver solutions that improve safety, efficiency and sustainability using its extensive infrastructure, world class manufacturing principles, expanded R&D capabilities and the tremendous expertise of its global team. “We are excited to bring forward innovative solutions that will create measurable value for our customers, enhance the quality of life for consumers, and provide a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.” Although not as celebrated as the acquisitions by Ecolab and Sealed Air, Swisher Hygiene has been making plenty of purchases of its own during the past couple of years, bringing a host of small I&I companies under the its aegis. Last month alone, Swisher announced six acquisitions, including L&F Sales, Santec Services, Guardian Environmental, A.C.M. Services, West Coast Laundry & Warewashing and Gulf Coast Laundry Services of Mississippi. It’s all part of the Swisher’s objective to be a single source provider of essential hygiene and sanitation services and products to its customers through multiple distribution channels. To achieve that goal, the company is committed to a rapid expansion of market share through acquisitions and organic growth. The company estimates that in the US there are more than 3,400 chemical service providers, 2,000 linen and facility service providers and 38,000 waste collection companies. According to Swisher, many of these businesses are acquisition opportunities in new markets or tuck-ins for existing markets.

Green Keeps Going

New product systems make it easier for hospitals to reduce the down time necessary to maintain flooring.

What’s New? While a few I&I marketers have placed bold bets in 2011, most industry executives say they remain cautiously optimistic about the US economy heading into 2012. At the recent International Sanitary Supply Association’s ISSA/Interclean tradeshow, marketers highlighted an array of new products that ran the gamut from floor care to hand care to hard surface cleaners which executives maintain help their customers get the job done right the first time—and for less cost than traditional products. For example, Ecolab promoted its Maxx Durable floor finish program. Launched in May, the line contains a patented polymer that offers durability and crosslinking, but remains strippable to reduce down time. “Customer reaction has been fantastic,”insisted Brian Leafblad, program leader, institutional HHC, research and development.“It’s a true innovation and it saves money in labor and maintenance so that a hospital, for example, doesn’t have to shut down its emergency room to treat the floor.” According to Leafblad, simplifying cleaning procedures and labor savings, while ensuring better results continue to drive the market. “Floor care is a commodity business,”he observed.“But we are launching innovations and creating value for the end-use customer.” Meanwhile, 3M has introduced Trizact Diamond HX discs for refurbishing stone surfaces including concrete, marble and terrazzo. The discs, which debuted last year, last longer because their cut rates remain higher than competitive products, according to 3M. “You can cut out a lot of maintenance,”insisted Tom Floyd, lab manager, 3M.“Customers are looking for ways to be more efficient. There is interest in anything that does it faster and cheaper.” 82 • happi

Jim Beard,VP-marketing at State Chemical Solutions, told HAPPI that while the growth hasn’t been dramatic of late, green formulations continue to be the wave of the future. During the past year, State has added a green floor finish, green stripper and green truck and car wash. Most recently, the company introduced a penetrating oil that is bio-based. “The green trend is intensifying; most conventional formulas are disappearing because the green formulas work so well,”said Beard. Judy Albazi, president and CEO of Chase Products, certainly agrees with that assessment. Her company launched Green World N, the first full line of green, Design for the Environment (DfE)certified continuous spray products formulated for the jan/san industry. “These products are brand new; we have no competition,”she insisted. Green World N uses nitrogen propellant and DfE-designated “cleangredients.”The line, which includes stainless steel cleaner and polish, dust and mop treatment, glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, furniture cleaner and polish and bathroom and tile cleaner, is packaged in a recyclable steel container and is promoted as containing no harsh chemicals, no fumes, no perfumes and no color additives. Just as important, Green World N provides effective cleaning. “Green is all about perception and there is a perception that green doesn’t clean,” said Albazi. In contrast, she insisted that Green World N works and exceeds all of California’s clean air requirements. At ISSA Interclean, Orbio Technologies, a unit of Tennant, rolled out Orbio 5000-Sc, which it maintains transforms water into an effective multi-purpose cleaning solution. Softened tap water and salt flow into a charging cell, where electricity is applied to create separate alkaline and acidic streams.The alkaline solution is stored and the acidic solution is removed. The solution that remains (sodium hydroxide) attacks organic soils during cleaning, according to company executives. “There are cost-savings and environmental benefits,”said Karla Leis, VP/GM, Orbio Technologies. “People want cleaning in a proven, sustainable way.” The company maintains that Orbio 5000-Sc replaces most daily-use conventional cleaners such as all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, daily cleaners and carpet prespray cleaners. Cost-savings and environmental benefits are also the reasons behind Betco’s introduction of the SmartValve.This lockable urinal flush valve is said to reduce water consumption by up to 40,000 gallons per urinal per year, which results in annual savings of $200 to $600 per urinal. The SmartValve enhances Betco’s existing SmartScreen urinal technology. The SmartScreen concept is simple, involving a fragrance-impregnated screen with a bioactive enzymatic block to control odors and maintain drain lines. According

to Betco, the SmartScreen and SmartValve is easier to maintain than water-free urinals because the water source is still available for cleaning. Saving money on shipping costs, energy and time is the idea behind the launch of concentrated cleaning products from Earth Friendly Products. The nine-item line will begin shipping in January. Also new from Earth Friendly is a plant-based graffiti remover. Earth Friendly is primarily a retail company, with just 10% of revenues coming from commercial sales. Still the company has posted 20% annual growth for the past five years, according to Luke Bobek, director of industrial and institutional sales. With no MRSA or H1N1 concerns to drive hand sanitizer sales, marketers are looking for

New Hand Care Options

new ways to boost the category.

While worries about the global economy rise and fall, there haven’t been any large scale health scares during the past year that rival the H1N1 or MRSA concerns that made headlines in years past. Still that hasn’t stopped Gojo from launching Purell Advanced instant hand sanitizer. A new, patent-pending formula boosts the performance of the alcohol, while a new humectant helps moisturize skin. Purell Advanced promises to kill 99.99% of a broad range of bacteria. “This is a step-change,”insisted Randy Bakes, global marketing vice president, Gojo.“Purell is fabulous and hard to improve, but bugs are evolving and we need to get even tougher.” Meanwhile, Stoko Skin Care launched the Refresh Foam easyto-install countertop bottle. The design enables cleaning staff to quickly and easily change out product because it fits easily into countertops, is installed under counter fitments once and is refilled from the top forever.

People Persons Of course, a company could offer the most effective, labor-saving products, but if its personnel is lacking, it will continue to play catch up to its competitors. “Our network of distribution is our greatest asset,” insisted Spartan chairman Steve Swigart.“They identify growth opportunities.”

These opportunities for growth have enabled Spartan to thrive for 55 years and expand beyond its jan/san roots. This year, for example, the company is expanding in the warewashing sector. A couple of years ago, it was laundry and five years ago, it was food processing. But no matter what the product category, Swigart insisted that in the end, it all comes down to personnel. “It’s a people business. It’s about knocking on doors, understanding the customer’s needs and being able to sell,” he told HAPPI. Beard of State agrees, explaining that it is critical to differentiate from the competition through service. “You have to be there for the customer, to make sure that everybody using the product has been trained and coached properly, that all the dispensers are working.” To maintain a high level of service, State offers several internet components such as online training programs to certify a particular application such as restroom cleaning to office cleaning to more complex procedures. “It is key to be a learning organization,”he said.“Your people have to be knowledgeable. Our investment is going into employee training.” Even a company with resources as deep as Ecolab realize that its 14,000 sales and service employees are its biggest asset. “We are one of the best selling companies to work for,”insisted Fritze.“Everybody’s job is helping sales become more effective with their customers.” No matter what happens to the global economy, I&I manufacturers remain upbeat about 2012 prospects. “I don’t think the industry will slow down much more than it already has,” predicted Beard. “Because then you cross the line where you can’t function anymore. If you are going to function, then you need our products.” • Looking for a new ingredient for your I&I product? A list of them can be found on p. 86.

Recent Patent Applications

For Hair Care Polymers Recent patent applications reveal interesting advances in technologies relating to the use of polymers in hair care. Learn how polymers can enhance fragrance, impact foam, improve conditioning, aid color retention and more. Robert Y. Lochhead, Willis Byrd, Lauren LaBeaud and Kimberly Page The Institute for Formulation Science, The School of Polymers & High Performance Materials The University of Southern Mississippi

A

T THE INSTITUTE FOR Formulation Sci-

ence, we monitor patents and patenting as part of our current awareness activities for the Partnership for Innovation. In this article we have selected interesting advances that have been reported in recently published US Patent Applications. Rhodia and Procter & Gamble researchers have come up with block copolymers that enhance foam in detergent systems.1 These are block copolymers comprising a cationic block and a nonionic block. A broad range of chemistries are disclosed, but the exemplified polymers consist of blocks of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and hydroxyethylmethacrylate and triblock copolymers that also contain acrylic or methacrylic acids. Block copolymers offer the amphipathic properties of surfactants but on a larger scale. We can expect an increase in the prominence and diversity of block copolymers as a direct result of the introduction of living free radical polymerization techniques. It might be interesting to speculate on the mechanism whereby these polymers enhance foam. Foams are formed when surfactant molecules diffuse to and adsorb at an expanding liquid/air interface. Polymer molecules diffuse slowly—too slowly to adsorb at the expanding interface in the instant before it collapses.Therefore, it is reasonable to deduce that these polymers stabilize foam that is initially formed by adsorption of surNovember 2011

factant at the interface. Foams collapse by two main mechanisms; draining of the liquid and puncture of the lamellae. The foam lamellae are the junctions between two foam bubble cells and the Plateau Border is situated at the triple-cell junction. The Laplace pressure in the liquid components of the foam is inversely proportional to the curvature of the interface.The higher curvature of the plateau border results in a lower pressure in that region, causing the liquid in the foam to drain preferentially from the lamellae to the plateau borders. Based upon this reasoning, it can be understood that drainage can be hindered in two ways, namely by blockage of the lamellae or by blockage at the plateau border. About two decades ago, Des Goddard carefully measured the drainage from foam films and he deduced that polyquaternium24 adsorbed across the lamellar interface and hindered the drainage of liquid from the foam. About 30 years ago, Stig Friberg concluded that certain liquid crystals blocked the plateau border region and thus delayed foam drainage and conferred longer-term stability on surfactant foams. In the case of the Rhodia polymers, hindered drainage of the lamellar liquid could be caused by adsorption of the cationic entities at the lamellar surface with the nonionic and/or anionic blocks in the lamellar liquid.Alternatively, formation of phase-separated coacervates between the cationic polymer and the anionic surfactant could rehappi.com

sult in blockage of the plateau border. Of course, if the interaction of the cationic polymer is strong enough to form“inverse micellar” structures, then the phase-separated particles could cause a local reversal of the curvature in the lamellae, resulting in breakage of the lamellar film and subsequent foam destabilization. This limit could be a reason for the specified maximum cationic charge density in the written description and in claims of the patent application.This type of foam destabilization mechanism has been extensively reported by Peter Garrett. It would be interesting to conduct careful film drainage and phase studies on these systems to understand precisely how they work.

Solid Foams One of our previous articles included P&G’s revelation of easily dissolvable, porous solid shampoos.This line of research has been extended to provide delivery of cationic conditioners that would normally be incompatible with liquid shampoos and enhanced delivery of these actives to the keratin substrate. Another claimed advantage of porous solids is the ability to have one scent for the solid and then to allow a second different fragrance to bloom when the solid was wetted by water.2 The porous solids are made by mixing the surfactants, glycerin as plasticizer and water in the presence of a water soluble polymer. The working example shows poly(vinyl alcohol) as this water-soluble polymer, but the invention is not restricted happi • 89

• Hair Care Polymers

to this polymer; a wide range of synthetic and natural polymers may be used. After a heating and mixing cycle, the porous solid is formed by aeration.

Enhancing Fragrance The aroma of fragrance can be prolonged by encapsulation. It has now been claimed that certain cationic capsules are retained to a larger extent than nonionic capsules.3 The cationic urethane capsules are prepared by reacting 2-hydrazino-N,N,N- trimethyl-2oxoetanammonium chloride with a solvent –free di-isocyanate base on hexamethylene diisocyanate. The capsules are prepared to consist of a core of a urethane protected aqueous phase dispersed in a continuous fragrance oil phase that is surrounded by a crosslinked polyurethane shell.

Enhancing Mildness Isethionates have been known as mild surfactants for at least three decades; they have been the basis of non-soap detergent bars such as Dove. Recently, Unilever researchers discovered that the mildness can be enhanced by including mildness benefit agents that can be flocculated by cationic polymers present in the formulation and delivered as flocs upon dilution of the formulation.4 The preferred benefit agent in this case is petrolatum and the cationic polymers are well known polymers like polyquaternium-10 and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride. This could form the basis of shampoos that are mild to the skin.

Conditioning Shampoos Cationic guar has been a known additive for 2-in-1 shampoos for more than three decades. However, it has now been shown that improved post-shampoo detangling times are achieved by including a small degree of hydrophobic substitution in the cationic guar derivatives.5 The hydrophobe is added by the well-known ring opening of the appropriate glycidyl ether. A conditioning shampoo that contains a conditioning gel phase in the form of vesicles is described by Unilever researchers.6 Cationic conditioners are usually incompatible with anionic shampoos and, as a conse90 • happi

quence, conditioners based upon cationic surfactants are usually applied as separate post-shampoo products. The Unilever researchers prepared a conditioning gel phase by combining a small amount of water, fatty alcohol, a long-chain secondary anionic surfactant (sodium cetostearyl sulfate) and a long-chain cationic surfactant (behenyltrimethylammonium chloride) and subjecting the mixture to high shear to form a stable vesicular gel phase. Prolonged shear causes the lamellar gel phase to“roll-up”into an array of multilamellar vesicles. The gel phase was added to a dilute primary surfactant solution (sodium laureth sulfate) to form a conditioning shampoo, which conferred good wet smoothness on hair. Freeze-Thaw stability can still be a problem for concentrated or vesicular phases.The subject of freeze-thaw stability in this context is addressed by Rhodia researchers who have developed new hydrophobically modified alkali swellable (HASE) in which the hydrophobes are specially designed macromonomers.7

Rheology Modifiers Rhodia also revealed HASE thickeners with improved clarity and improved resistance to salt. These polymers, based upon the conventional methacrylic acid/ethylacetate system have “associative” monomers that are bicycloheptyl polyethers and long chain polyethers.8 It has also been shown that mixtures of certain cationic polysaccharides and anionic HASE polymers can give systems with enhanced viscosity stability with respect to increased ionic strength and also to elevated temperatures.9 Acryloyl taurate thickeners have improved resistance to salt but, according to Shiseido scientists, these polymers have a sticky feel which can be ameliorated by copolymerizing acrylamidomethylpropane sulfonate with hydroxyethyl methacrylate and an appropriate crosslinker.10 Carbomers are crosslinked polyacrylic acid prepared by precipitation polymerization. Carbomer technology was developed by BF Goodrich (now Lubrizol). It is interesting that a BASF patent application is directed to the preparation of carbomers using the same happi.com

monomer, same crosslinker, and same solvent mixture as the BF Goodrich technology. The BASF patent application reveals a quicker process can be realized by the use of two initiators in sequence with a deliberate temperature change during the reaction.11 There are many rheology modifiers available to the personal care formulator, but a recent trend has been directed toward multifunctional polymers, especially to rheology modifiers with film-forming fixative properties. BASF has contributed to this trend by revealing copolymers of acrylic acid, N-vinylpyrrolidone, a cationic monomer (preferably N-vinylimidazole), and a hydrophobic monomer which may be an long chain ester of methacrylic acid having an ethoxylated spacer chain, preferably PEG-25 methacrylate.12 Such rheology modifiers disperse rapidly in aqueous systems of pH 6-8 to yield gels with hair fixative properties.

Hair Pomades Whipped emulsions are divulged by a L’Oréal researcher to provide all the benefits of a pomade but with improved elasticity.13 The products are formed by using two polysaccharide emulsifiers and a gelling agent. One of the emulsifiers is xanthan gum and the other is a mannan polymer (this includes a wide range of polymers including guar, locust bean gum and pectin). The gellant may be carbomer or an acryloyl taurate thickener. Longer-lasting conditioning silicone quaternaries have long been known as hair conditioning compounds. A recent patent application from Evonik Goldschmidt is directed to silicone quats that confer conditioning with longer lasting conditioning through several shampoo cycles.14 The premise is that long-term substantivity to hair requires the conditioning agent to contain a string of cationic charges. Evonik Goldschmidt achieved this by polymerizing cationic monomers and grafting them to silicone backbones. In general, watersoluble monomers polymerized in the presence of silicones yield a mixture of water-soluble polymers and unsubstituted silicones because the two ingredients are incompatible and attachment of the polyNovember 2011

mer chain to the silicone would require appropriate“coupling groups.” Evonik Goldschmidt researchers rose to the challenge by polymerizing the cationic monomers in the presence of silicone polyethers. The ether groups are compatible with the quat monomers and they readily chain transfer to give graft copolymers. Once grafted, the copolymers are quaternized to confer permanent positive charges with enhanced substantivity to hair.The grafts are obtained by polymerizing the readily available monomers, dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate or 3-trimethylammoniopropyl methacrylamide.

Fixatives Biopolymer latex may be produced by crosslinking starch with glyoxal (for example in an extruder) followed by cryogenic grinding. Such biopolymer latexes are revealed by Honeywell to be suitable hair fixatives with the benefit that the polymers are derived from natural and sustainable resources.15

Hair Coloring Conventional conditioning agents are incompatible with hair dye formulations. Dow researchers have revealed that they have resolved the need to simultaneously color and condition the hair by the addition of ethylene acrylic acid copolymers optionally in combination with a metallocene polymerized polyolefin.16 The addition of one percent polymer provided advantages in wet combing benefits. The oxidizing agents used in hair colorants damage hair fibers. Moreover, the rapid kinetics of oxidation can cause uneven coloring of the hair, especially when long preparation procedures are involved such as in selective highlighting. Encapsulating the oxidation precursors with polymethacrylates, poly(vinylacetate)s or shellac results in a more uniform coloring process.17

Conclusions Our review of recent patent applications revealed interesting advances in technologies relating to the use of polymers in hair care: 1. Block copolymers continue to make inroads into personal care products. In this case we identified the proposed use of November 2011

cationic/nonionic block copolymers to stabilize surfactant foams. 2. Solid, easily dispersible foams offer advantages with respect to improved 2-in-1 conditioning over conventional liquid systems and the capability to build in stimuliresponsive fragrance attributes. 3. Super-mild detergent systems are claimed from the inclusion of cationic polymer induced flocs of petrolatum in isethionate-based systems. 4.Vesicular gel phase conditioners can be included in anionic shampoos for 2-in-1 cleaning and conditioning. 5. There are some advances in rheology modifiers mainly around the inclusion of complex hydrophobes within the associative thickeners. 6. The trend toward multi-purpose thickeners continues with a rheology modifier that contains vinylpyrrolidone monomer to confer additional film-forming characteristics. 7. Longer-lasting silicone conditioning of colored hair is claimed from graft copolymers of dimethylaminomethacrylate on a silicone ether backbone. 8. Encapsulation of hair coloring precursors is advanced as a way to achieve more consistent coloring and to mitigate hair damage due to the coloring process.

can be difficult to use, as they need to be dispersed in water and hydrated; they cannot simply be dropped into a formulation. Another commonly used thickener, sodium chloride, common salt, is an inexpensive and accessible ingredient. However, its performance in different surfactant systems can be problematic and unpredictable. For example, salt will thicken a

system up to a certain electrolyte concentration, but once the salt curve is reached, further additions of salt will cause the viscosity to plummet. In addition, some primary surfactants (i.e. sulfates) already contain a level of salt in them, which can vary from one supplier to the next. Therefore, it can be difficult to predict when the formula will reach its salt curve. Salt can

also negatively impact certain aesthetic properties such as clarity and rheology. Too much salt added to a surfactant formula can result in haziness, or an unappealing gellike or pituitous/stringy consistency. Furthermore, salt has very little effect on sulfate-free systems, which can be very difficult to thicken. Although there are many rheology modifiers currently used in the personal care cleansing market, many have a negative impact in one aspect or another of the surfactant formulation. Some of these shortcomings can be related to the ease of dispersion of the ingredient or other undesirable aesthetics. Some of the ideal attributes that a rheology modifier should exhibit include the ability to easily control viscosity and other rheological properties of the formulation, ease of use, good performance across a wide range of surfactant systems, a broad pH range, and high active content enabling the formulator to use lower concentration levels and still achieve positive end results.

L’ORÉAL’S SALES RISE 5% IN THE FIRST HALF • Paris-based beauty giant L’Oréal said group sales for the first half ended June 30, 2011 rose 5% to approximately $14.6 billion. “Organic growth in the first half of 2011 has confirmed the good dynamics of the group, which is further strengthening its worldwide positions, particularly in North America, in Latin America and in Asia Pacific,” said Jean-Paul Agon, chairman and CEO.“The first-half results are up, solid and of good quality. Gross profit is improving, despite the higher cost of raw materials. Operating margin is at a high level, and net profit is growing strongly. At the same time we are continuing to pave the way for the future with our ongoing policy of sustained investments in R&D and advertising & promotion business drivers. Finally, the group’s debt is particularly low.” Gross profit increased by 5.4%, and came out at 71.5% of sales, compared with 71.3% in the first half of 2010. Despite the unfavorable impact of higher raw material prices, the improved efficiency and productivity of the factories, good stock management and finally the positive conversion effect, resulting from the strengthening of the euro, have contributed to this further improvement, the company said. Operating profit, at 16.8% of sales, amounted to $2.4 billion. Research and development expenses have increased by 12.2%, reflecting the group’s “determination to step up its investments in research and innovation and, to a lesser extent, the integration of Q-Med,”said Agon. According to L’Oréal, the professional products division’s profitability has edged down from 21.2% to 19.8%. The profitability of the consumer products division, 20.1%, is slightly down on the first half of 2010, but is considerably higher than the full-year 2010 figure of 18.5%. The profitability of the luxury products division, at 18.9%, has grown strongly. 98 • happi

The active cosmetics division has again recorded very high profitability at 26.3%, the company said.

L’Oréal recently teamed up with “Project Runway” for a limited edition cosmetics line.

Blyth Sees 17% Sales Increase in Q2 •

Blyth, Inc. said net sales for the second quarter ended July 31, 2011 increased approximately 17% to $185.5 million due to significant year-over-year growth at ViSalus Sciences, the company’s weight management/nutritional supplement/energy drink unit, of which it owns 57.5%. Sales increased 13% on a local currency basis. International sales represented 44% of second quarter sales both this year and last year, the company said.

Nu Skin Reports Record Q2 Results •

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. posted record second-quarter results, with revenues rising 9% to $424.4 million. “We are pleased with our second-quarter results and are confident that our performance keeps us on track for another strong year,”said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer. “We continue to fuel our momentum by attracting new distributors, leveraging our exclusive ageLOC product portfolio, focusing on growth in our emerging markets, and consistently improving happi.com

profitability and shareholder value. We are also looking forward to the fall introduction of additional anti-aging products, which we anticipate will continue to drive consumer demand and steady business growth.” Second-quarter revenue in North Asia grew 12% to $183.1 million. Revenue was positively impacted 11% by foreign currency fluctuations. Local-currency revenue in South Korea increased 25%. As expected, Japan reported a 10% year-over-year decline, largely due to the impact of the natural disasters in March. The number of executive distributors in the region was up 6% and the number of active distributors was up 1% compared to the prior year. Revenue in Greater China declined 2% to $79.4 million for the quarter and was positively impacted 6% by foreign currency fluctuations. The decline was due to a very significant ageLOC product launch in the second quarter of 2010 that boosted revenue by approximately $25 million, contributing to a 53% increase reported in the prior year. Local-currency revenue in Mainland China improved 77%, Taiwan was down 8% and Hong Kong experienced a 61% decline. Individual market comparisons for the quarter were impacted by regional convention sales in Hong Kong in the prior year. Both the executive and active distributor numbers increased 14% compared to the prior-year period. Second-quarter revenue in the Americas was $59.8 million, compared to $62.4 million for the prior-year period. Revenue in the US and Canada declined 6% and 14%, respectively, while Latin America improved 21%. The number of executive distributors in the region declined 6% compared to the prior year, while the number of active distributors declined 2%. Revenue in South Asia/Pacific rose 29% to $59.2 million driven by 11% gains in foreign currency fluctuations. Quarterly revenue in Europe was $42.9 million, a 22% improvement.

Executive and active distributor counts in the region increased 7% and 8 percent, respectively, compared to the prior year. “Our strong first-half performance has laid the foundation for what we believe will be a solid second half of 2011,”said Hunt. “We anticipate the largest product launch in our history when we introduce new ageLOC products at our global distributor convention. We also continue to have high expectations for continued growth in emerging markets, particularly Mainland China and South Asia.”

“With its exceptional balance of precious lipids and antioxidants, argan oil is the ideal active ingredient for skin care formulas with a nourishing and anti-aging effect,” noted Marie-Sophie Meisinger, DSM Nutritional Products’ global marketing manager, skin care. DSM Argan Oil is also a natural shine enhancer for the hair, and boosts shine at affordable concentrations when compared with leading market formulations. It offers flawless light reflection and delivers extra shine without leaving the hair greasy. Its natural balance of polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants helps maintain healthy-looking hair, making it particularly suitable for stressed and mature hair. Produced fully in accordance with organic and Fair Trade principles, DSM Argan oil is derived from Argania spinosa, a tree native to southwest Morocco. It is highly suitable for state-of-the-art natural and organic formulations thanks to its specifically gentle cold-pressing process followed by a non-chemical deodorization. It has been recognized for centuries by the Berbers as the“Tree of Life.” More info: www.dsm.com

on the market in terms of stability and moisturizing properties. However, formulators have avoided using the material due to availability issues. Indeed, squalane is mainly sourced from highly controversial shark liver or olive oil, which, due to its interdependence with food oil, is subject to price variability and limited availability. Soliance has partnered with Amyris, a US company with a strong biotechnology expertise, to develop Renewable Squalane: an alternative solution that delivers a stable, Ecocert-approved and reliable source of squalane for the cosmetics industry, according to the company. Blind-test results have shown that there is no significant difference between olive squalane and Renewable Squalane. It is also easily absorbed by the skin and leaves a nongreasy silky touch. With good emollient and hydration properties, Renewable Squalane is the reliable, Ecocert and sustainable alternative for cosmetic formulas. More info on www.soliance.com

Croda Launches Solaveil XT-40W

●

Throughout the day, the hair is exposed to many external aggressions. These stressors can disrupt the cuticle, which forms a protective coating, causing damage to the inner proteins and lipids leading to dull compromised hair. Keracyn, new from Provital, is an active obtained from the leaves of artichoke that is rich in hydroxycinnamic derivatives, which are known to have antioxidant properties. It helps to prevent the opening of cuticle scales and preserves the integrity and health of the hair fiber. It can be added easily to various hair care products, according to the company.

labeling and effectiveness testing released and scheduled for implementation in 2012, broad-spectrum protection is even more important to ensure compliance with the new monograph in which UVA and UVB protection is essential. Croda offers the Solaveil SpeXtra products, a range of broad-spectrum UV absorbers that provide this protection along with great skin feel, according to the company. Products in the Solaveil SpeXtra line can be used as sole UV absorbers in sunscreen products, eliminating the need for complex combinations of filters to achieve broad-spectrum UV protection.

Croda’s newest solution for broadspectrum protection, as part of the Solaveil SpeXtra line, is Solaveil XT-40W.This water based system allows the freedom to formulate light feeling and highly spreadable O/W emulsions with broad-spectrum protection, achieving a critical wavelength of ~380nm, which is well in excess of the 370nm required for UVA protection claims. Solaveil XT-40W contains hydrophobically coated power that offers inherent water resistance, another important element of the new FDA monograph. Solaveil XT-40W is also Ecocert approved so natural formulations compliant with Ecocert standards can be attained. More info: www.croda.com/na/pc

Sales Veteran Retires After Long Career With Clairol Professional John Perry of Procter & Gamble recently announced his retirement, capping an extraordinary 33-year career in the salon industry, all of it with Clairol Professional. Starting in the days when virtually every distributor mounted his own trade show, Perry worked with every major house, bringing Miss Clairol, the Beautiful Collection and later, Wella Color Charm, to stores and salons across the country. A graduate of the University of Minnesota, Perry began representing Clairol in the Midwest in 1978. Finding that he connected with the people in the beauty indusJohn Perry try, he then moved up steadily—to a territory in the East, a management role back in the Midwest, a regional sales position in the Southeast, and finally to director of sales for Clairol Professional in 1994. When P&G Salon Professional acquired the Clairol brand from previous owner Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2001, Perry took on the Wella Color Charm line and established both brands as the open line powerhouses they are today, according to the company. “John has been a leader and a mentor to our entire organization, both open and exclusive lines,” said P&G Salon Professional CEO Reuben Carranza. “He has built an organization that’s creative, agile and absolutely dedicated to the customer. It’s a magnificent legacy.” Perry and his wife, Joslyn, will be returning to their home base in Connecticut to be closer to Perry’s family—including daughter Kirsten and son Reid. A replacement was not named at press time.

Drom Celebrates 100th Anniversary “There’s nothing like the joy you feel when you create an extraordinary fragrance,” wrote Bruno Storp Sr., who founded Drom fragrances 100 years ago. Two generations later, under the leadership of his grandsons, Dr. Andreas and Dr. Ferdinand Storp, Drom is still run by the same family and guided by the same principles of passion, vitality and creative freedom. What’s changed, however, is that Drom has evolved from a local provider of specialized fragrance products into a global player with international reach. It has revenues of approximately $100 million and 350 employees, making it one of top 10 fragrance suppliers in the world. When Storp Sr. founded his company “Bruno Storp – Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Products” in 1911 in Munich, Germany, he came from a long family line of both entrepreneurs and artists like painter Carl von Marr, whose paintings were awarded numerous gold medals, for example, at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. The Storp brothers—the third generation to manage the firm—recall that their grandfather had been a young apothecary who actually wanted to be an opera singer and to work as an artist. Using his new company, Storp dedicated his creative talent to the creation of innovative toilet water, hair tonic, and a soap product that later became known as “Storp’s Floating Soap.” In 1921, Dr. O. Martens joined the company, from which the name DR.O.M. came. Several years later, Storp met Dr. Clemente, a perfumer, which was an important turning point in the company’s history. Drom started developing fragrances and perfumes; Storp also opened a small perfume shop in Munich in 1935 where he sold his own exclusive creations. Drom launched its first international campaign in England in 1931. In 1948, Drom began to focus on bottling, packaging and logistics. Production was modernized and glass gave way to steel—an ingenious move that greatly simplified both production and transport. In 1956, 112 • happi

the firm started exporting products to Switzerland, Austria, France and Scandinavia. In 1970, the company invented a new filling technology— the very first to use gravity—which revolutionized manufacturing in the fragrance industry. The firm also became interested in the production of natural raw materials, and even today it continues to conduct intensive research into raw materials. For example, it patented its own completely natural Pureganic essential oils. In 1977, Drom ventured outside Europe, establishing a production facility and sales office in the US; a fine fragrance studio was opened it the Tribeca district of New York City in 2005. Drom Asia/Australia and Drom Japan were founded in the 1980s “We currently have representatives in 43 countries and production facilities worldwide,” said Andreas Storp, a man whose passion for his work led him in 2004 to personally establish the company’s plant in Guangzhou, China. In 2007 Drom took over a plant in Brazil, redesigning it to meet the company’s requirements. “We’ve succeeded in establishing a traditional family business in new markets. Highly creative people have joined the company, and Drom has an extremely strong position internationally. We also have many promising opportunities in Paris and New York,” asserted Ferdinand Storp. “Drom is like a dynamic startup company that is full of pioneering spirit. We are continuing to capture new markets, launch inspiring projects, and as a result we are experiencing a constant renewal.” Yet at the same time, Drom is staying true to itself. “We feel that it is important to retain our DNA— both in our business as well as in our own lives. As a family business, we need to be careful to not lose our identity.” Dr. Andreas Storp and Dr. Ferdinand Storp

•Employees and supporters of L’Oréal USA Corporate Operations North America, Clark, NJ, raised a record breaking $500,000 at its fourth annual Fore the Children charity golf outing on Sept. 19. The money raised will benefit Children’s Specialized Hospital to support the expansion of its outpatient services, improve access to comprehensive rehabilitation care for children affected by brain injury, spinal cord injury, premature birth, autism, developmental delays and life-changing illnesses. Held at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster Township, NJ, and Fox Hollow Country Club in Branchburg, NJ, the outing drew 780 supporters and included 554 golfers playing 18 holes of golf on two different courses. Attendees also enjoyed silent and live auctions. “L’Oréal USA Corporate Operations North America employees have done an outstanding job on this event. They have really 122 • happi

adopted Children’s Specialized Hospital as their charity of choice," said Morris Lenczicki, L’Oréal USA Fore the Children committee chair,VP corporate operations North America and a trustee of Children’s Specialized Hospital Foundation.“Through our annual Fore the Children Golf Outing and special activities throughout the year, we have shown what can be done to make a difference in the lives of others, and how working together for a special cause brings us closer. This is one of the reasons why community service is such an enriching endeavor.” Major sponsors of the Fore the Children charity golf outing included LA Enterprises, RockTenn, Unette Corp., Albea Group, Alpla, Arkay Packaging, CCL Tube, Century Packaging Inc., Coloredge, DMI-Dimensional Merchandising, IBM Corporation, Packaging Corporation of America, POP Displays US, and Topline Products. •
