In-Cosmetics 2014, paso firme hacia el futuro


Apreciados Srs.
Todavía con la resaca de in cosmetics, en Hamburgo, llegamos con esta nueva Newsletter del mes de Mayo. Biophil, integrada en la estructura del grupo IDEA, disfrutó de una edición bastante animada. Parece que el sector sigue con paso firme hacia el futuro. Biophil dispuso de dos stands, el común con el grupo y otro denominado IDEA, más enfocado a propuestas en el campo de la cosmética decorativa.
Varias de nuestras representadas disponían de stand propio donde presentaron sus novedades. Shandong Freda, nuestro fabricante exclusivo de Hialuronato de Sodio, con nuevas referencias entorno al hialuronato de sodio/ácido hialurónico, ARKEMA, con sus excipientes sensoriales, que han ampliado gama complejados con activos, que han dado óptimos resultados en los test in vivo. Brasca, por su parte, presentaba su gama de mantecas no hidrongenadas y de fracciones tecnológicas del aceite de oliva, Solvay (en nuestro caso representamos la división de silicas oral care), Doosan con todas sus variantes de Ceramidas biotecnológicas y esfingolípidos. Merece Doosan una mención especial, porque ganó el premio a la innovación tecnológica entre los ingredientes presentados en la Innovation Zone, donde los fabricantes presentan sus novedades más técnicas y/o novedosas. En este caso se trató de la Ceramida-3 hidrosoluble, que facilita enormemente su incorporación en los productos cosméticos, a la vez que evita los habituales problemas de recristalización de las Ceramidas sintéticas.
En la linea de nuevas distribuciones Biophil Iberia parte con una nueva empresa : ALGEA, que propone activos provenientes de algas marinas con prometedores test de eficacia y certificaciones ecológicas de máximo nivel.

REGULATORY 13/02/14 - Ot-Public consultation on fragrance allergens


Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products provides that perfume, aromatic compositions and their raw materials shall be referred to, in the list of ingredients on the packaging, as 'parfum' or 'aroma'. However, 26 fragrance allergens listed in Annex III of the Cosmetics Regulation shall be mentioned in the list of ingredients in addition to the term 'parfum' or 'aroma', if their concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products. Moreover, Annex II lists substances which are prohibited in cosmetics, including some fragrance allergens.

In June 2012, Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) adopted a new opinion on fragrance allergens in cosmetic products (SCCS/1459/11).

They updated the list of fragrance allergens that the consumer should be made aware of when they are present in cosmetic products, while confirming that the 26 fragrance allergens currently regulated for individual labelling are still of concern.

Among fragrance allergens established in humans, SCCS identified 12 chemicals and 8 natural extracts of special concern as each of them gave rise to at least 100 reported cases of contact sensitisation.

Finally, SCCS indicated that three fragrance allergens (HICC, atranol and chloroatranol) should not be used in cosmetics. 

So, following the SCCS opinion, there are several areas in which further scientific work is needed, in particular the refinement of the dermal sensitisation Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), for which work is ongoing.

In addition, in the areas where SCCS opinion already provides sufficient basis, EU Commission propose to amend Annex III and Annex II of Cosmetics Regulation in order to ensure adequate consumer information and to protect the consumer against the strongest allergens.   

All interested parts, including authorities of the Member States, manufacturers of cosmetic products, producers of the substances concerned and relevant industry and consumers associations, are invited to submit their comments on the proposed measures and on their possible economic impact by 14th May 2014 at the latest.
