Determination of the quality of sea buckthorn oils and extracts methods, based on the content of lipid antioxidants
Sizova N.V., Ph.D., individual entrepreneur, Tomsk
The work considers an alternative method for assessing the quality of sea buckthorn oils and extracts, based on the yield of biologically active lipid substances with antioxidant activity. An assessment of the content of antioxidants was made by microcalorimetry using the registration of the heat of a model cumene oxidation reaction with of sea buckthorn oils and extracts, obtained by various technologies. The concentration of antioxidants consisting of a complex of tocopherols, triterpenoids, polyprenols, lipophilic acids and other compounds is a good criterion of the quality of the biological value of oils. It has been shown that the extraction of sea buckthorn fruit with sunflower oil is not an effective way to extract biologically active substances. The method used in the work to assess the quality of the extracts allows to select the highest quality ingredient for introduction into a cosmetic product

A sustainable and modern alternative to Lanolin
Dr. Ibarra F., Business Director Personal Care, IOI Oleo GmbH
Sustainability and natural origin of raw materials remains a dominating trend in the cosmetic industry. It is well known that the concept of sustainability embraces three pillars that must not be seen separately. Ecological, economic and social aspects have to go together and only then the true meaning of sustainability is achieved. In this article, we draw your attention to Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 that fits well into the three dimensions of Sustainability. This is the most popular Lanolin- Replacer in the world of cosmetics since many years. It is not a 100% plant derived raw material and it was originally developped as a functional specialty ingredient and not to specifically follow a green trend. However it perfectly fits into current trends for safe, high quality and sustainable ingredients that nevertheless must be competitive.

Acylsarkosinates in cosmetics, hygiene products, household and industrial chemicals
Merkulov DA, Ph.D., specialist of the technical and consulting support service, Revada LLC
Acylsarcosinates are anionic nitrogen-containing surfactants from the amidocarboxylate class. These compounds are highly soluble in water and organic solvents. They are close to fatty soap, by their properties, but are more resistant to the action of acids and hardness salts. They have a high foaming, wetting and emulsifying ability. Acylsarcosinates are low-toxic, dermatologically mild surfactants and are well biodegradable. They are used in shampoos, hair conditioners, shower gels, bath foams, liquid hand soaps, makeup removers, shaving foams, toothpastes, face powders and other cosmetic and hygienic products. They are effective in household detergents.
