< Back Book your calendars: Hallstar’s presentation on suncare at the ASCC Conference 11 Apr 2024 Surfing the Wave of Inorganic Sunscreens: How To Achieve High SPF with Photostabilizers On the 1st of May, Day 3 of the conference, Belle Peng , Hallstar’s sales manager for the ANZ region, will present on the topic of Surfing the Wave of Inorganic Sunscreens: How To Achieve High SPF with Photostabilizers. session 8A – Lecture 31 – 11:30am – 12:00pm Abstract Naturally derived mineral sunscreens are trending, representing about 50% of the overall suncare market share, and this figure is forecasted to increase in the future. Gen Z consumers also prefer inorganic sunscreens for their perceived higher safety and good EGW scores. However, a high dosage of solids is needed to formulate high performance SPF 50+ inorganic sunscreens. To be fully solubilized, inorganic UV filters require a high amount of solvent in the system, which induces aesthetics issues for the formula. Therefore, achieving high SPF while using inorganic UV filters of formulas that consumers will adopt is proving quite challenging. In this presentation, we will investigate new inorganic sunscreen solutions and photostabilizers that can help formulators to create well accepted and safe inorganic sunscreens. About the Author Xi (Belle) Peng is the author and presenter of SURFING THE WAVE OF INORGANIC SUNSCREENS: HOW TO ACHIEVE HIGH SPF WITH PHOTOSTABILIZERS. Xi (Belle) Peng is the regional sales manager for Hallstar and looks after Australia and New Zealand markets. She has an extensive experience in working on TGA approved, green and safer sunscreens for the Australian market.

Haircare GROWTH OLEOACTIF® ​ Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (and) Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate (and) Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract (and) Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract Hair Growth, Fuller Lashes GROWTH Oléoactif® is a natural oil-based active ingredient dedicated to hair and eyelash beauty care. Made of powerful molecules from roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and safflower florets (Carthamus tinctorius) extracted in sunflower oil, GROWTH Oléoactif® is a multifunctional botanical complex that targets the biological pathways involved in hair follicle life cycle. Obtained through the patented Oléo-éco-extraction technology, it is eco-designed, totally safe and COSMOS-certified, with proven efficacy at 2%. Get a sample HAIR OLÉOBOOSTER® ​ Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (and) Acacia Concinna Fruit Extract (and) Tamarindus Indica Fruit Extract Thermo-Protective Hair’s appearance, color and radiance should be protected from the heat of hair dryers and straighteners and from the sun’s UV rays. Without protection, hair becomes dehydrated, devitalized, brittle and dull. HAIR Oléobooster® is a micro-structured oil-based extract stabilized by Oléo-éco-extraction, a patented green process. A fusion of tamarind, shikakai and coconut oil, HAIR Oléobooster® offers proven protection against sun and heat damage while maintaining colour and radiance thanks to its coconut oil-vectorized antioxidants. Tamarind and shikakai have been used for hundreds of years by Indian women to protect and nourish their hair because these plants are rich in powerful antioxidants. Coconut oil is a natural oil rich in MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) containing fatty acids, such as lauric acid, which have a high oxidative stability. MCTs have a high affinity with hair proteins because of their low molecular weight and linear molecular chains. They are able to penetrate the hair fiber more quickly and deeply than longer chain fatty acids. Hair temperature, after a unique application of 3% HAIR Oléobooster® cream, was measured on ten natural hair locks from European origin and compared to a placebo cream. A significant hair thermo-protective effect of the cream with 3% HAIR Oléobooster® was demonstrated. The increase in hair temperature was reduced by 8.6°C immediately after one minute of hair dryer use, and by 4.3°C one minute after the end of drying versus the placebo). Get a sample OLIWAX® ​ Hydrogenated Olive Oil (and) Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (and) Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables Hair Damage Reduction Oliwax® has a demonstrated ability to reduce damages due to hair brushing at 1%.

In addition to its many skin care applications, Olivem® 1000 MB can be used in hair care formulations such as crème rinse and leave-in conditioners, improving wet combability as demonstrated by clinical testing. It is also effective as the emulsifying base for more traditional hair conditioner formulae that use cationic ingredients, broadening its scope of applicability. The recommended use level for Olivem® 1000 is 3 – 5% in o/w emulsions as the sole emulsifier and 0.5 – 2% as a co-emulsifier.

Formulations based on Surfinesse™ Cleanse G are found to emulsify with water to efficiently remove long-lasting make-up and daily skin debris while leaving a pleasant, smooth and hydrated after-feel.

The recommended use level are 1 – 3% as an emollient, 3 – 5% in o/w emulsions to reduce transepidermal water loss and increase skin hydration, elasticity, resilience and smoothness, and 5 – 10% in foaming bath and shower oils. Hallstar’s most recent clinical testing provided clear data that that Sensolene® has superior dispersing properties. Well-dispersed pigments mean more uniform and intense colour. In addition, our laboratories tested Sensolene®‘s impact on compact powders when it is used to bind/wet the powders. Prototypes containing Sensolene® have a significantly higher drop test pass rate than those without Sensolene®. Get a sample SENSOLENE® LIGHT ET ​ Ethyl Olivate (and) Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract Biomimetic Active Emollient Sensolene® Light ET introduces for the first time the concept of an active emollient combining superior emolliency with anti-oxidant benefits, thanks to unique, natural Oléo-éco extraction patented process.

Actives BLISS OLEOACTIF® NEW Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (and) Tilia Cordata Wood Extract (and) Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate "Revealing Skin Serenity Psychological stress (PS) is an emotion we all face. Stressful conditions, such as the state of our environment, worries at work and social pressures, are more and more present in our lives. A chronic exposure to PS has an impact on our skin such as wrinkles or dull complexion. Considering this fact, Hallstar Beauty wanted to bring its expertise by developing an Active Naturals to counteract these effects. Resulting from the patented Oleo-eco-extraction process that respects the environment , BLISS Oléoactif® combines the benefits of a co-product of linden sapwood with sunflower oil, both coming from responsible, organic, and local (French) sourcing.

Without protection, hair becomes dehydrated, devitalized, brittle and dull. HAIR Oléobooster® is a micro-structured oil-based extract stabilized by Oléo-éco-extraction, a patented green process. A fusion of tamarind, shikakai and coconut oil, HAIR Oléobooster® offers proven protection against sun and heat damage while maintaining colour and radiance thanks to its coconut oil-vectorized antioxidants. Tamarind and shikakai have been used for hundreds of years by Indian women to protect and nourish their hair because these plants are rich in powerful antioxidants. Coconut oil is a natural oil rich in MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) containing fatty acids, such as lauric acid, which have a high oxidative stability. MCTs have a high affinity with hair proteins because of their low molecular weight and linear molecular chains. They are able to penetrate the hair fiber more quickly and deeply than longer chain fatty acids. Hair temperature, after a unique application of 3% HAIR Oléobooster® cream, was measured on ten natural hair locks from European origin and compared to a placebo cream. A significant hair thermo-protective effect of the cream with 3% HAIR Oléobooster® was demonstrated.
