Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday T-1 HEALING AND PROTECTING THE SKIN NATURALLY: A Unique Panel Tuesday, September 9 | 10:30am-12:00pm What does healing and protecting the skin naturally really mean? From Functional Cosmetics containing more and more Natural Ingredients to the Beauty from the Inside approach that created the fast growing segment of Nutraceuticals, our global market has become a rather dynamic place. Our session will provide answers to this question by highlighting three of the most relevant topics: natural hydration as the most basic beauty principle, beauty food ingredients that have come full circle and are increasingly popular for use in topical cosmetic applications, and beauty foods taken to the next level to provide increased protection against sun exposure. A 30-minute panel discussion will complete the session by further exploring each topic and entertaining your questions. 10:30am-10:35am _____________________________________________________________________________________________ T-2THE SKIN: Infant, Adult Men & Adult Women Tuesday, September 9 | 10:30am-12:00pm This is very interesting and unusual session dealing with a rarely debated topic: Men’s Skin! It is about time somebody told us what men’s skin is all about! How does men’s skin age differently from Women’s skin, and what specific skin problems do men have to deal with during their lives? During this session we will have the opportunity to listen to the point of views of both a dermatologist and author, Dr. Neal Schultz, and a cosmetic scientist, David Boudier from SILab, who will describe in different terms the various stages of the aging process in men skin. The third speaker, Ben Minerath from Kimberly Clark Corporation, will take us through the whole life span of our skin by reviewing, in detail, the various stages of maturation and aging ranging from infant to adult. 10:30am-10:35am _____________________________________________________________________________________________ T-3STEM CELLS: The Fountain of Youth Uncovered Tuesday, September 9 | 12:30pm-2:00pm Research is always based upon the wish to move the limits of human knowledge. While this need motivates generation of new scientific results in all industries, it is paramount in the rapidly changing, demanding cosmetic industry. This exponential increase is no doubt based upon the fact that with the aging populace yearns for extending longevity and maintaining their appearance, or recapturing actual youthful nature. Our industry’s focus on skin aging is literally and figuratively skin deep. While we are learning about the aging of skin, the largest organ in the body, more fundamental questions arise about what lies beneath the surface. New challenges are appearing; new calls to action to more fully understand how all our cells age; how they are disturbed, injured and repaired? New questions cry out for answers. Can we repair aged cells; what are the biochemical and physiological pathways that are necessary to be understood in order to achieve such repair ability? What are the influences of our internal clocks on chronological ageing phenomena? Can we extend the life of our cells, would that extend tissue life and how? This session will provide current answers to such questions, point the way for future work, and add new understanding essential for future cosmetic developments. 12:30pm-12:40pm _____________________________________________________________________________________________ T-4RESOURCES: Sustainable, Recoverable, Natural & Academic Tuesday, September 9 | 12:30pm-2:00pm This session provides access to untapped resources. It includes a novel approach to adding cosmetic activity value, exploration of the sustainability concept in personal care, a powerful introduction to the tools needed for painting the right academic consultant and a close look at converting your personal care waste into environmentally friendly products. 12:30pm-12:35pm _____________________________________________________________________________________________ T-5NEW CONCEPTS & THEIR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Changing The Course of Your Research and Product Development Tuesday, September 9 | 2:15pm-4:50pm In this time of technological advancement, scientists have a better understanding of the changes skin undergoes during the aging process. This new information has challenged the skin care industry to seek out and create ingredients to counteract or slow down specific aging processes that lead to the appearance of "aged" skin. In this session, you will learn of new ingredients to firm and tighten the skin and how to protect your discoveries with imperative intellectual property management. 2:15pm-2:20pm _____________________________________________________________________________________________ T-6SUPER-ACTIVE NATURALS FOR SKIN TRANSFORMATION Tuesday, September 9 | 3:15pm-5:15pm The saying "we are what we eat" is very true. Foods that we ingest not only affect the way that we feel, but also the way that our skin looks and feels. The skin reflects the state of the body's health and looks its best when all cells in the skin's layers are properly nourished and hydrated. All you need to do to understand the "buy-in" of our culture about this concept, is to look around at the supermarket shelves and the cosmetics counter. What you will see is multiple companies talking about nutritional benefits to general health and the skin from the foods, drinks or cosmetics we choose to use. Many cosmetics companies are teaming up with food companies to bring internal products to the consumer. These include products such as nutritional supplements or drinks that affect the appearance of the skin and delay the appearance of aging. This session will look at some of the ways companies are using nutritional materials to affect the skin and achieve inner and outer beauty. As a bonus, there is a unique talk on Super-Active Peptides based on bioactive amino acid fragments useful for targeted anti-aging activity! 3:15pm-3:20pm _____________________________________________________________________________________________ |
