You Are What You Eat: Trends in Cosmeceuticals
Consumers turn to every avenue available to them to help them look and feel more beautiful. Thus, we have seen growth in products that claim to enhance beauty from the inside out. Products include dietary supplements, foods and beverages, and have appeared in most regions of the world. However, significant differences exist from one part of the world to another in terms of the ingredients used and the claims made. This presentation will take a look at the development and growth of cosmeceuticals, how they are different in different regions, and what is ahead, for the U.S. market and the rest of the world.

Beauty Supplements – Ingredients, Science, Marketing Strategies and Regulatory Aspects
Over many years, topical cosmetics, toiletries and sunscreens have been the main vehicles for maintaining and enhancing healthy, beautiful skin, hair and nails. Unfortunately, topical use of such products doesn't always provide the expected performance, because of insufficient penetration of the actives, or incomplete protection against environmental stress (UV light, pollution, smoke). In the last few years, a new category of beauty supplements, which enhance beauty and provide year-round protection, has evolved in the form of dietary supplements, beverages and fortified foods. The key ingredients currently being used are carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamins, amino acids and other phytonutrients extracted from fruits and vegetables. Up-to-date scientific data involving these important nutrients will be presented. In addition, the marketing strategies for effective consumer education and successful product introductions will be discussed, along with the ever-changing regulatory requirements in the major markets of Asia, Europe and the United States.

The Keys to Succeeding in the Spa and High-End Beauty Space
In this session, a proven market pro discusses ways to select technology and services that will yield significant returns, how to choose and/or develop your own clinically proven product and how to mesh the world of future skin care with the technology and products of today. These days, a basic facial is simply not enough. As technologies continue to push the envelope, clients crave a better, faster and easier way to maintain youthful skin. The term high-end/luxury will mean something different in the future, with medical spa technologies and products crossing over between luxury retailers and spas. New innovation is the key for those who want to succeed with the results-oriented client.

How to Profit from Discontinuous Change in the Skin Care Category
The Baby Boomers and Generation Xers have fueled the growth of the skin care category for the last 30 years. This growth includes topical products and both invasive and soft surgery as women and men seek to retain their youthful appearance and improve their overall health. The anti-aging segment of cosmeceutical skin care grew to $1 billion in 2008, with a category growth of 79% from 2003-2007. Cosmeceutical skin care products have become the leaders in the anti-aging segment. This dramatic growth has begun to slow down due to a number of issues that are challenging the existing dermatologist and pharma brands: the recession, retail and direct sales execution hurdles, an over saturation of brands that all have high percentages of active ingredients, and lack of innovation to capture customer interest. The next generation of brands, as well as existing brands, need to develop strategies to deal with these issues. Attend this session to hear the company formerly known as ck Calvin Klein beauty’s solutions to the issues that are slowing the growth of this segment.

Speaker: Jeffrey R. Ten, senior vice president, international sales, University Medical Pharmaceuticals Corp.
