Silab confirms the efficacy of Coheliss

Cosmetics industry - Sederma S.A.

A precursor in the field of mechanobiology since 2007, Coheliss is a firming, anti-gravity active ingredient developed by Silab to stimulate the skin's mechanical and biological cellular functions, in response to mechano-stress. It acts specifically on sagging skin, a major concern for consumers.
Additional efficacy data in vitro in 2016 confirm its ability to act on mechanobiology, a central process in maintaining skin firmness, by stimulating its three pillars: mechano-sensation, mechano-transduction and mechano-response.
Its firming action has been demonstrated with the help of modelling in vivo developed to measure skin response, with or without mechanical stress, in key areas of the face. After 28 days of twice-daily applications, and compared to placebo, the ingredient dosed at 3% improved skin's ability to return to its initial state by 12.6%. At 4%, skin tone increased significantly by 19% (p < 0.05) and skin tension by 16% (p < 0.05).
Through its smoothing and anti-wrinkle effect, Coheliss limits the appearance of gravitational folds and expression lines. The total surface area of wrinkles in crow's feet and the nasolabial fold was reduced by 15% and 26% respectively (p < 0.01) (Results after 56 days of twice-daily application, compared with placebo).
A combination of firmness and anti-gravity, Coheliss is positioned as a biomimetic active ingredient by transposing to the skin the natural properties of arabinoxylans, the molecules responsible for rye's cohesion and mechanical strength.

STOP false information about essential oil sprays!

Lime - green

Cosmed association considers legal action against magazine 60 millions de consommateurs.

Cosmed is the representative association of the French cosmetics industry's VSEs, SMEs and ETIs. It strongly condemns the misleading practices of the magazine 60 millions de consommateurs and has instructed his lawyer. In its special issue no. 188 April/May 2017, the magazine 60 millions de consommateurs takes a fierce stand against interior sanitizing sprays, particularly those with natural essential oils marketed by members of the association. It describes the use of these products for home hygiene as a "double deception", and discredits their safety in use.

In support of its "demonstration", the magazine produces a great deal of erroneous information, as was already the case in 2013 concerning suncare products*. It also contradicts itself on a number of points**.. Some of this information is so scientifically misleading*** that it is not possible at this stage to determine whether it is deliberate or due to a lack of verification of the information published. Cosmed intends to take legal action to ensure that these recurrent methods of creating misleading scientific discourse are finally brought to the attention of the public. The great freedom rightly enjoyed by the media does not mean freedom to misinform, intentionally or otherwise, to serve a dogmatic and partisan vision of a major social issue, such as consumer product safety.

Cosmed has entrusted Maître David Koubbi, attorney at law at the Paris Bar, with the task of studying the most appropriate legal action to restore truthful, transparent and objective information for consumers on the safety and efficacy of essential oils in sanitizing sprays, and to follow up on the publication of the disputed article.

*Press release Cosmed suncare products 2013 - "Who's fooling who?

**For example, the magazine accuses the sprays of containing too much natural limonene, a substance which is only potentially irritating if overdosed. And yet, a few pages later in the same special issue, it recommends using lemon essential oil to purify the air... which contains up to 80 % of limonene.

***The magazine's editorial team has rewritten and reinterpreted the findings of a clinical study on the tolerance of essential oils in mild asthmatics, resulting in readers being presented with exactly the opposite of the genuine scientific conclusion.

L'Oréal makes hair sing

Graphic design - Product design

With the new Sonify Hairdevice, listen to the song of your hair "happy" to be repaired. A multidisciplinary algorithm for a new consumer experience.

L'Oréal Japan has developed a new patented assessment technology combining knowledge of the hair surface, the science of friction and the formulation of hair repair products.

Until now, researchers observed the hair's surface under a microscope, and evaluation experts could feel changes in its condition under their fingers. And sensors measured friction.

Today, sonification transforms traditional results into music, bringing the experience of transforming damaged hair into repaired hair within everyone's reach.

In the future, hair salons will be equipped with this device and will offer their customers a new tangible proof of effectiveness: customers will hear the song of their "repaired" hair. This initiative received the Best Basic Research Award at the latest IFSCC 2016 congress. This award highlights L'Oréal's significant progress and major contributions in the field of cosmetics development.
