Groundbreaking advancements in cosmetic technology: Soaring to uncharted beauty frontiers
Unleashing the Future of Cosmetics: A Glimpse Into the 33rd IFSCC Congress
The cosmetics industry is fresh and invigorating, as science and innovation marry to create breathtaking transformations. Commercial entities and ingredient suppliers engage in a scientific approach towards cosmetics, propelling the field forward at an unprecedented pace.
Collaboration is the heart of innovation, and nowhere is this more evident than throughout cosmetics science. Events such as the IFSCC Congress provide a platform for industries to showcase and share groundbreaking discoveries, often serving as a prelude to the future of cosmetic science. Known as the "Nobel Prize of cosmetic science," this conference not only gathers researchers and scientists but also sets the industry's direction for years to come.
Join us as we explore the current landscape of cosmetic science and the innovations we're excited to share at the upcoming 33rd IFSCC Congress, taking place in Barcelona from September 4 to 7, 2023, with the theme "Rethinking beauty science."
IFSCC Congress: A Journey Through Tomorrow
The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemistry (IFSCC) is dedicated to fostering global cooperation in cosmetic science and technology. With an expansive network of 51 societies from 81 countries and 16,000 members, this organization provides an authentic picture of the industry's evolution and innovation. At events like the IFSCC Congress, notable industry giants, such as L'Oréal and Shiseido, also grace the stage.
Participating in the IFSCC Congress since 1992, companies like Provital have consistently contributed to the advancement of cosmetics science and technology. The shared strategic vision of "scientific positioning" drives Provital to actively participate in these events to network with fellow cosmetic science enthusiasts and strengthen R&D initiatives. Collaboration and mutual growth are key to furthering scientific progress and shaping the future.
The 2023 IFSCC Congress will be an exceptional knowledge-packed adventure, with the program focusing on current trends in technology, scientific research, and the added value cosmetics provide:
- Rethinking science: a closer look at skin, sun, and hair care, featuring leading technologies, new substances, functions, efficacies, and evaluation techniques.
- Rethinking beauty: an exploration of texture, scent, and color, multisensory experiences, added value in cosmetics, and the impact on consumers, marketing, and uses.
- Rethinking nature: a focus on the development of responsible cosmetics, listening to nature's teachings, and offering safer products.
Innovations from Provital for the 33rd IFSCC Congress
Provital has a long history of making the most of these gatherings of cosmetic science pioneers. Their poster on senolysis being recognized as one of the top ten posters at the 31st IFSCC Congress in Yokohama, Japan, in 2020, stands as a testament to their commitment to pushing the boundaries of cosmetic science.
At the 33rd IFSCC Congress, Provital plans to shine a spotlight on their forefront innovations primarily on the effectiveness of their products. From skin circadian rhythm to artificial intelligence, the depth of their research will leave attendees in awe:
AltheostemTM
This first innovation delves into the mysteries of cell senescence, a field with immense potential. Senescent cells, which accumulate over time and are related to visible signs of aging in the skin, are a focus of Provital's research efforts. They have previously identified a vegetable ingredient—extract from Althaea rosea stem cells—that shows senolytic activity in human dermal fibroblast models (HDF). At this year's IFSCC Congress, Provital will share in-depth in vivo study results revealing the rejuvenating effects of this new active ingredient through instrumental analysis and the estimation of apparent age using artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
CircanblueTM
Provital's next innovation takes us into uncharted territory, exploring the impact of blue light exposure on circadian rhythms and its consequences on some skin functions, such as signs of fatigue and aging in the face. A cosmetic science research study observed primary human keratinocytes exposed to blue light and found desynchronization in the phases and amplitude of the circadian cycle curves. The IFSCC Congress will host Provital's study results on a postbiotic ingredient (lysate of the fermentation of Lactococcus lactis) that successfully reverses said desynchronization.
Future of hair science
Advancements in hair care embrace solutions for environmental factors and damaged hair caused by harsh products or treatments. Provital's upcoming innovation addresses these concerns with a natural ingredient–based active extracted from marine microalgae, offering a safer and more sustainable alternative.
Moreover, Provital's research explores hair fiber damage caused by chemical factors that open hair cuticles' scales, leading to structural and compositional changes, making the hair more porous and hydrophilic. Provital has identified a novel fruit extract that protects the lipid surface and prevents damage caused by chemical factors, thereby nourishing, conditioning, and improving the overall appearance of the hair.
Plant endophytes for the future of beauty
In the thrilling world of cosmetic science, the exploration of endophytes holds significant interest. These symbiotic microorganisms, which live in plants and foster their growth and development, have the potential to produce bioactive phytochemicals. This sense of discovery can lead to valuable sources of natural components for cosmetics, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact while offering numerous cosmetic applications.
At the IFSCC Congress, Provital proudly announces the development of a new platform for the isolation and biotechnological production of plant endophytes as a sustainable source of traceable and natural cosmetic active ingredients— a groundbreaking achievement for Provital and the future source of high-quality, sustainable, and effective active ingredients.
Embracing the future of cosmetics science, Provital consistently pushes the boundaries, aiming for a sustainable industry that blends high efficacy with reduced environmental impact. This dedication drives Provital's active involvement in the work of the IFSCC and positions the company as a leader in numerous research initiatives contributing to the advancement of cosmetic science.
- In the field of cosmetic science, Provital continues to explore innovative areas such as artificial intelligence and endophytes, showcasing their cutting-edge research at events like the IFSCC Congress.
- At the upcoming 33rd IFSCC Congress, Provital will present their latest findings on skin-care advancements, including senolysis, skin circadian rhythm, and the use of plant endophytes, promising to redefine health-and-wellness and lifestyle industries through science.
- The future of beauty science is sustainable, and Provital's focus on natural ingredients and biotechnological production of plant endophytes is a testament to this, making them a key player in the global cosmetics industry's commitment to technology and health-and-wellness.
