Vytrus launch Kannabia Sense PLF - The Microbiota Whisperer

Following on from last year’s triple award winning performance Vytrus are launching the latest addition to their product portfolio, Kannabia Sense PLF. Kannabia Sense PLF is a new natural active ingredient made from Cannabis sativa stem cells that interacts with skin’s microbiota postbiotic generation to modulate the skin neurochemical networks and enhance the feeling of comfort and self-confidence through the Microbiota-Skin-Brain Axis (MSBA). It has been developed using ‘Phyto-Lipidic Fractions’ technology based on a process designed to enrich the cell culture in signalling lipids which activate the positive MSBA.

Kannabia Sense PLF plays a key role in the brain activation through the skin as our ingredient activates the same brain areas as oxytocin. In this webinar watch Vytrus CEO, Oscar Exposito, present this novelty to the cosmetic community.

CLR introduces Cutibiome CLR, “Calibrating the Skin’s Ecosystem”

CutiBiome CLR has been developed to balance the skin’s microbiota for those who have skin conditions caused by Cutibacterium acnes. While C. acnes is a commensal species and certain genetic variants, e.g., phylotype I-A1, are important for the skin, C. acnes can also cause problems. CutiBiome CLR prevents film-forming activity while inhibiting the growth of C. acnes I-A1. These effects reduce sebum, comedones, pustules and pimples, as shown instrumentally and in volunteers.

Other in vivo studies for hair care showed a reduction in dandruff. For four weeks, the ingredient was used three times weekly in a hair tonic. Results indicated similar efficacy to piroctone olamine, the standard used to treat fungal infections and dandruff, and greater efficacy than the standard for reducing scalp oiliness, sensitivity and itch.

INFORMED INSIGHTS INTO FUTURE BEAUTY
Daniel Whitby (Lake Personal Care)

What will the future of beauty look like and how can we predict this? The beauty industry is driven by innovation, not only in formulation and packaging but also in terms of new formats, claims and a need for new ways of engaging with increasingly savvy consumers. As the market grows and we see the emergence of new, often independent brands who are highly mobile and agile, the demand for innovation is relentless. Staying ahead of the curve and being able to identify the breaking trends which will influence the future of product development enables maximum use of resources in the best possible way. Taking extensive research from the latest scientific publications and combining this with analysis of new product launches and global product trends can give us some idea of what to expect from the next generation of beauty. Add in to this key developments in other industries such as healthcare, construction and nutrition, new thinking in marketing and retail and a thorough understanding of consumer needs and we can begin to build a picture of where we may be as we approach the third decade of the 21^st century. In this talk the multifactorial approach described above will be used to provide an informed view of both where our industry is heading and why it is going that way.

Utilising their brand new and exclusive Phyto Lipidic Fraction (PLF) technology platform which extracts the essence of lipids from the plant cell membrane, Vytrus Biotech have created OLEA VITAE ^PLF.

Derived from plant stem cells of Mediterranean Wild Olive tree shoots, OLEA VITAE ^PLF is a powerful revitaliser of mature skin and fights energetic ageing using a new mechanism of action; stimulation of Mitochondrial Synapses.

This hybrid oil replicates the activity of cellular lipids, protecting and optimising the energy of skin cells and increasing production of structural proteins. Tested on menopausal women, OLEA VITAE ^PLF delivered an astonishing anti-wrinkle, firming and repairing effect.

OLEA VITAE ^PLF represents the first generation of biomimetic plant cell membrane lipids, the PLF whose unique composition works synergistically stimulating communication between mitochondria resulting in the formation of the Mitochondrial Synapses, thus igniting the energy and vitality levels of the epidermal cells. OLEA VITAE ^PLF activates energy rejuvenation cycles, helping cells to fight the programmed obsolescence of mitochondria. The final result is skin revival.

It is recognised that mitochondrial activity occurs at night; OLEA VITAE ^PLF delivers an authentic link to circadian rhythms and an overnight / sleep repair claim

New ! starter formulations containing OLEA VITAE ^PLF are available for Micellar Oil, Silicone-Like Matte Gel, Hydroglycolic Gel, Hydroglycolic Serum and an O/W Emulsion.

Last but not least, a bit about our stand - our most sustainable, environmentally friendly and energy efficient exhibition space to date and 95% re-useable. We deliberately avoided a traditional timber / mdf design and the associated dust and huge wastage associated with this type of construction which impacts upon the environment. Our stand was an aluminium display system with printed substrates and a recycled carpet. Construction was quick and easy saving time, the lightweight materials can easily be compacted down into cases which saves on labour and transport costs and minimises pollution. We used LED lighting to reduce our power consumption � even our plants were real and have all gone to loving homes !

Lake Personal Care attended the London Microbiome Meeting on the 24^th of October at St Thomas� Hospital in London.

If you would like further details on Harald�s presentation and the range of CLR skin care actives via Lake Personal Care, please contact us.

Petra Sturgeon and Daniel Whitby from Lake Personal Care attended the two day SCS �Science in a Bottle� event.

The event programme comprised of 24 talks, covering four main themes and attracted an audience of 100 delegates, which included representatives from retailers, brands and academia.

Our supplier partner CLR Berlin was a key sponsor of the event and our team joined John Lofthouse, Director Global Sales and Marketing, at their top table exhibition during the intervals and networking breaks.

John gave a presentation on the new active from CLR, �MultiMoist�, entitled �A New Multifaceted Approach Toward Skin Moisturisation�.

Synopsis

The role of vitamin D, in the skin is well described in scientific literature. Particularly interesting is its role in skin processes relevant to moisture levels. Vitamin D deficiency is common in people suffering from atopic dermatitis, a skin disease that is associated with reduced skin barrier function and skin dryness. Additionally, vitamin D is an important initiator of filaggrin production, which is of particular note in this context, filaggrin being the most important raw material for the production of NMF.

MultiMoist, the latest product to be developed by CLR Berlin, has been shown, in-vitro, to have significant activity in stimulating the efficiency of Vitamin D receptors in skin cells.

In-vivo it was shown through 6 different in-vivo tests to improve the moisture levels in the skin and improve qualities, such as skin smoothness, which are indicators of well moisturised skin.

Daniel's presentation followed this, outlining how digital beauty will help new products meet the needs of the modern consumer.

Synopsis

As the skincare industry shifts away from anti-ageing and the traditional bricks and mortar sales model, new opportunities are arising for the application of technology in the beauty marketplace. The presentation explored the current landscape in terms of the �Quantified Self� trend, explained how augmented reality can drive increased sales, and reviewed a recent study exploring consumer expectations of the industry.

Looking to the future, the key trends which will contribute to brand delivery was shared along with a detailed analysis of influences from industries as diverse as construction, technology and food. Future claims trends was analysed and a WTF (What�s The Future) approach taken to show how all these factors will combine and contribute to Beauty 2.0, with efficacy at its heart.

Many thanks to all who came to see us at the show and if you would like any further details on the presentations please contact us.

One of the most important science driven events in the calendar, this biennial conference attracts members of the cosmetic science community from all corners of the globe.

This year�s key theme was �Skin Health and Skin Ageing� and seventeen presentations over two days covered a wide range of subjects including epigenetics, future insights, electromagnetic radiation and massage and sensory effects.

Daniel Whitby from Lake Personal Care attended the event and also had his key insights from the conference featured on the British Beauty Blogger website.
