Formulating with Botanicals
When it comes to providing product benefits and claims, botanicals play an integral role. However, formulating challenges arise when attempting to make a safe, high quality and aesthetically pleasing
product. Many factors impact botanical selection and formula base, including the botanical’s color, odor,
source, formula base, efficacy, safety and stability. Learn a few of the challenges of formulating with botanicals,
and discover solutions to address those challenges. |

Grapefruit Seed Extract: Promising Botanical Anti-Microbial or
Empty Promise?
Grapefruit seed extract (GSE), sold both as a dietary supplement and anti-microbial preservative,
has been called everything from a miracle to a hoax. Proponents claim it is an effective anti-microbial.
Research to date has not verified the activity of natural GSE, but has yielded some surprises. This presentation will explore the controversy surrounding this ingredient,
and its future in the marketplace. |

Organic Cosmetic Standards — Fact or Fiction?
The food industry has had organic standards in development or in regulation for decades. Over that
period, the cosmetic industry has been moving strongly to the use of more natural ingredients and to
more ingredients from the organic food industry. Claims for cosmetic products made with organic ingredients
range from unnoticeable to absurd and blatantly false. In an attempt to rein in the organic
cosmetic claims, several committees and organizations, including the Organic Trade Association, have
worked to develop organic cosmetic standards. This presentation will provide a brief history of the development
of cosmetic standards, and will compare some of the existing standards to show how they
would affect cosmetic product claims and formulations. |

Natural Ingredients with Biological Activity
Botanical extracts have been used for centuries by shamans and medicine men to treat many skin conditions
and illnesses. Personal care companies, since their inception, have also been using plant extracts.
Today, many companies base their entire product line on botanical extracts. New methods of
extraction and characterization of the compounds found in botanicals have increased the variety and
quality available for companies to formulate with. This presentation will cover some representative botanicals
and their folklore, and identify the active constituents and some of the assays used to provide
substantiation for their biological activity. |

The Role of Bioactive Plant Extracts
in Cosmeceutical Products
Diverse factors including UV light, atmospheric pollution, infections, hormonal status, metabolic diseases, psychological
stress and even the natural process of aging contribute to temporary or permanent pathological changes in the
skin. Fortunately, there are many bioactive plants and plant extracts with the ability to combat these changes. Aloe
vera, for example, has long been regarded as “nature’s gift” for burns and wounds, and its soothing and moisturizing properties have afforded aloe a leading role in many cosmetic products. As science has begun to elucidate the many biological actions of aloe, evidence now supports
the topical uses of aloe for treatment of burns, wound healing, inflammation and the role of the immune system in skin health in cosmetics and
cosmeceuticals. There is also a whole class of safe and effective compounds sourced from such plants as turmeric, potato, coconut and black
pepper that may secure skin health topically and internally. |

a permanent element in Western health care education and the health care system. In 1984, Dr. Badmaev established the Badmaev Natural
Drugs Foundation to promote Indo-Tibetan medicine in the West. In 1985, he founded and headed the Laboratory of Applied Pharmacology
at the New York State Institute for Basic Research to provide the basic research techniques of Indo-Tibetan medicine.

Skin Effects of Natural L-Hydroxyproline
with Topical & Oral Administration
L-Hydroxyproline is an endogenous amino acid that is a primary constituent of collagen (approximately 10-15%),
connective tissues and bones. It plays an important role in the formation and stabilization of collagen’s triple-helix
structure. Recent studies have shown when topically applied, L-hydroxyproline can moisturize skin from within, activate
cell turnover, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance skin elasticity. This presentation will review a patented combination of hyaluronic
acid, L-hydroxyproline and vitamin C. In addition to studies on topical use, new findings exploring oral supplementation of L-hydroxyproline
will be reviewed, providing the cosmetic, food and dietary supplements industries with new tools to help consumers maintain youthful
skin. |

Biomimetic Phytosterols with Moisturizing and Soothing Properties
for Skin, Scalp and Hair Care Applications
Phytosterols are a class of lipid-like compounds found in all plants, and are structurally similar to cholesterol. In plants,
phytosterols play an important role as a structural component of cell membranes, a role that is played by cholesterol
in mammalian cells. In human skin, cholesterol is a major component of the stratum corneum lipidic cement in humans,
thus helping to maintain a proper skin barrier function. Due to their structural similarity to cholesterol, phytosterols can
act in a functionally similar (biomimetic) way to help strengthen the barrier function of the skin, providing protection and locking in skin moisture.
Phytosterols have been shown to reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), and have a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect due to their cell
membrane stabilizing and leucotriene inhibiting properties. |
