Natural cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals-based skin and hair care formulations that are based on superior delivery systems offer exciting marketing opportunities for new business development. The topical delivery of natural cosmeceutical and nutraceutical ingredients offers challenges unique to specific ingredients and their mode of “biological” function. Formulation technologies for skin and hair care utilizing a number of currently popular natural cosmeceutical and nutraceutical ingredients that includes phytosterols, ascorbic acid, hydroxy acids, skin brightening agents, anti-aging agents, anti-acne agents, sunscreens, trace metals, hair removal (depilation), and hair loss / hair graying prevention will be discussed. Project managers, marketing gurus, corporate strategy planners, sales, R&D, QC, ingredient suppliers, raw material innovators and regulatory personnel should find this technical-marketing oriented presentation a must to attend.

A recast regulation governing all cosmetics products sold in the European Union eventually will supersede European Council Directive 76/768/EEC on the Approximation of the Laws of the Member States Relating to Cosmetic Products and its many amendments. Enforcement is not expected to come into effect before 2012 at the earliest; however, significant data requirements will be required in the Product Information Files (PIFs) mandated in Article 11 of the recast regulation. A PIF is required for all cosmetic/toiletry products that are on sale to the public. This session will provide a summary of the regulatory and data requirements soon to be mandated for sale of all cosmetic products and every ingredient found therein.

Recent demographic statistics project the worldwide senior population of people 65 and older will increase from 483 million in 2008 to 974 million by 2030. It has been well established that aging is the result of both chronological causes (genetic, wear and tear), as well as lifestyle causes (sun exposure, imbalanced nutrition, smoking, obesity, etc.). Many studies conducted with volunteers in the last 30 years have emphasized the importance of balanced nutrition in warding off the signs of premature aging. Yet, the end result is deteriorating health, with serious ramifications in well-being and general appearance. Use of conventional cosmetic products also is less frequent among seniors because of lower esteem, reduced social activity and limited income. Over the last few years, cosmeceuticals and nutricosmetics have also been marketed by many food and cosmetic companies. Antioxidants (carotenoids, polyphenols), enzymes, omega-3 and omega-6 oils, proteins, polysaccharides, certain minerals and vitamins are among the key ingredients for improving wellness and beauty. Seniors’ basic needs, scientific data supporting cosmeceutical and nutricosmetics ingredients and marketing requirements for success in this growing category will be reviewed in detail.

• Speaker: Jana Cary Adams, executive vice president – marketing and member services, Personal Care Products Council

While cosmetics and personal care products are often all about fun and beauty, successfully developing, packaging, branding, marketing and selling them is hard work. With a patchwork of federal and state regulations, not to mention international regulatory schemes and a barrage of consumer resources, navigating your way through takes patience and a lot of information. Attend this session to hear Jana Adams identify the top ten issues anyone in or trying to enter the cosmetic and personal care industry needs to know.

• Speaker: Leylha Ahuile, senior multicultural analyst, Mintel International Group Ltd.

Recent research from Mintel International suggests Hispanic women feel underrepresented in the beauty and personal care aisle. Over half of survey respondents said they would like to see more personal care products designed just for them; 64 percent would like more hair care products created specifically for Latinas. Hispanic women are especially concerned with the box or bottle their favorite products come in. Latina women are younger than the average U.S. female population, and 62 percent of the Hispanic female population has yet to enter their peak earning years (35+). As a result, Mintel believes Latina purchasing power is definitely on the rise.

Skin care is about skin health … right? Wrong. Nutricosmetics is as much about the mind as it is skin. It is vital to closely interpret the cultural nuances in an international marketplace, otherwise your product may lose relevance in this highly stylized, highly sophisticated niche market. Mind the Gap will explore the gaps in consumer acceptance that divides Asian consumers from European shoppers and American customers from the rest of the global marketplace.

• Location: Congress Center, Marco Polo 801, Level 1
• Speaker: Evelyne Bismuth, PharmD, business development manager – U.S./Latin America, Alban Muller Intl.

The United Nations declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity. The world is thus invited to take action to safeguard the variety of life on earth. What are the upcoming challenges the cosmetic industry will have to face in the future? The beauty industry needs to educate consumers on the lifecycle of cosmetic products in order to reduce their environment impact. During this session, Dr. Bismuth will stress the need to seek creative new ways to improve our “eco-conscious” practices, including how we source new ingredients, package materials and should expand our commitment to sustainability.

• Speaker: Karen Young, CEO, The Young Group

The worlds of high-tech skincare and medicine continue to converge. The global graying population, boomers’ reluctance to age, increasingly efficacious dermatologic procedures and technologies, physicians continuing to launch their own skin care products ... all this adds up to a significant shift in the cosmeceutical industry. This could point to major growth or major regulatory challenges. Where is it headed?
