100% plant-derived, sustainable 1,3-Propanediol obtained by fermenting corn sugar (glucose).Can be used in a wide range of personal care applications as a humectant and preservative.
・By adding Zemea® to water treatments, it helps prevent hair spread under high humidity conditions and improves the feel of hair when rinsing and after drying.

Product 12

Branched Oligosaccharides that give hair bounce: Lissenare®

An environmentally friendly, natural hair care ingredient that combines styling and treatment functions. Forms a flexible film with excellent setting and arranging function. Improves stiffness of damaged hair and gives strength to hair to prevent breakage.

Product 13

Globally Usable Surface-Treated Powder: M-ZnO P AS

Fine particle zinc oxide surface-treated with triethoxycaprylylsilane. Exhibits high transparency in the visible light region. Primary particle size: 30-50 nm. In sunscreen formulations using only M-ZnO P AS as a UV protection agent, formulations with SPF 15 at 10% concentration and SPF 30 at 16% concentration can be produced.

Product 14

World's No. 1 Pearl Pigment: KUNCAI Pearl

Boasts the world's largest production volume and sales quantity as a pearl pigment manufacturer. Sales in over 150 countries worldwide and a track record of adoption by global companies. Sourcing from crude raw materials enables the production of pearl pigments with good color development due to high quality.

Seminar 1
Efficacy of the Unique Morphology Titanium Dioxide "ST-700 Series" in Make-up and Sunscreen Formulations
May 14, 2025 (Wed.) 15:30-16:00
Venue: G301

Iwase Cosfa Co.,Ltd.

Mr. Noda Harutaka


【Abstract】

Both organic and inorganic UV filters are commonly used for UV protection. The issues with organic UV filters are that they may cause irritation in people with sensitive skin and there has been an increase in the number of countries and regions that regulate the use of organic UV filters for environmental reasons in recent years. However, using only inorganic UV filters in high doses for strong UV protection can affect the texture and appearance of the product. In this study, we propose the "ST-700 Series" which consists of coral shaped non-nano TiO2 and addresses the aforementioned issues.
ST-705 and 710 Series: Provide a foundation with a smooth feel, UV shielding effect, and a natural finish with moderate coverage, thanks to their high transmittance of red color rays.
ST-750 Series: Provide a sunscreen with a smooth feel, high transparency, SPF/UVAPF boosting effect, and a shield from Near Infrared rays, which helps reduce the temperature of the skin surface under the sun.

Seminar 2
Natural Origin Index 1.0 - Novel Texture Modifing Powders "CALMATT(RSPO)" and "MAGGLOW(RSPO)"

【Abstract】

In recent years -particularly in Europe and the US, the concept of "clean beauty" which emphasizes environmental and social considerations has been gaining traction. In the cosmetics industry, there is an increasing demand for transparency and sustainability in raw materials. In this presentation, we will introduce the physical property and potential applications of our new raw materials, CALMATT (RSPO) and MAGGLOW (RSPO). These ingredients have obtained RSPO certification, feature a high Natural Origin Index, and utilize specialized processing technology to achieve excellent moldability and a superior sensory.
CALMATT (RSPO): A white, plate-like powder with a smooth and soft texture, composed of fine glass flake as the core material treated with Calcium Myristate.
MAGGLOW (RSPO): A white, plate-like powder with an elegant glow, composed of fine glass flake as the core material treated with Magnesium Myristate.

Seminar 3
Efficacy of the Oil Gelling Agents "Rheopearl" in Cleansing balm Formulations
May 15, 2025 (Thu.) 14:45-15:15
Venue: G401

【Abstract】

It has been challenging to achieve optimal performance using plant-derived waxes for cleansing balms in terms of hardness, liquid oil retention, long-term stability, and melting properties. In addition, in recent years, more cleansing balms have been packaged in tube containers rather than traditional jar containers due to considerations of hygiene, convenience, and portability. However, squeezing tube containers can cause the card-house structure of the balm to collapse, leading to stability issues during use.
"Rheopearl", a polysaccharide fatty acid ester in which long-chain fatty acids and saccharides are esterified, is widely used as an oil gelling agent and also exhibits various effects in wax gels. In this study, we propose the new cleansing balm formulated for use in tube containers which resolves the aforementioned issues by adding a specific combination of "Rheopearl" and plant-derived waxes.

Rheology Modifiers "CARBOPOL® SC-800, FUSION-S20 and Aqua SF-1 Polymer" for Detergent Formulations
May 16, 2025 (Fri.) 13:15-13:45
Venue: G302

Iwase Cosfa Co.,Ltd.

Ms. Asano Akiko


【Abstract】

A common challenge in rinse-off formulations is adjusting their rheology, which can be difficult depending on the types of surfactants used. "CARBOPOL", a water-soluble Vinyl Polymer, is widely used in various applications due to its multifunctionality as a thickener, emulsifier, and suspending agent. This presentation will introduce three types of "CARBOPOL" for rinse-off products that offer rheology adjustment and unique functions, along with their characteristics and formulations.
CARBOPOL SC-800 POLYMER: A powder rheology modifier that thickens amino acid-based and soap-based surfactants without altering the foam quality, while allowing for high dosage of liquid oil in the formulation.
CARBOPOL AQUA SF-1 POLYMER: A liquid rheology modifier that improves viscosity stability and alleviates itchy skin in winter.
CARBOPOL FUSION S-20: A liquid rheology modifier that possesses inherent biodegradability and can be used in a wide range of pH.
