KOSÉ Corporation is partnering with I Peace, Inc.| Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing, cGMP iPSCs | CDMO, Inc. and Reju, Inc., Inc. to develop #personalized beauty products comprising iPSF (an induced #pluripotent stem [iPS] cell extract) derived from customers' own blood-drawn cells. 👩🔬 This process will reportedly optimize dosages and #textures for each consumer; finished products will reportedly be "provided through #medical institutions under medical supervision," per Kosé. By the end of 2024, iPSF-based formulations will commence demonstrating testing in Japan. The initiative supports the rise of #regenerative, #longevity-focused beauty.

FROM THE MAGAZINE: The #green and #sustainable movement in beauty continues to catch on, which is a good thing.🌳 Exploring #sustainability in cosmetics 💄, a comprehensive review published by Cleaner Waste Systems in 2022 emphasized, "because of its continuous growth worldwide and due to its high consumption of #natural resources, the cosmetics industry represents one of the main sectors requiring a long-term vision to manage sustainability."🌎 It added that cosmetics companies "need to expand their #greenvision to the entire supply chain," as the sustainability issue should encompass the entire #lifecycle of a product. ♻ The latest edition of C&T highlights #green and #sustainable ideas for cosmetics and personal care product development while also underscoring the #urgent need to address #negativeimpacts on the #environment. Our editor's note explains - Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gTucpwnb

#Asia 🌏 is a hotbed of #innovation for #beauty. 💋 Databridge Market Research projected the Asia-Pacific #personalcare ingredients market to reach US $6.484 million by 2030. Per the source, the "increasing demand for #selfcare 🧘♀️ products to combat #stress and #anxiety," plus the tendency of consumers to increase self-care routines to feel good and look better are key drivers. Three areas of opportunity include established #conditioning #biopolymers and #bioactives; growth potential for #emollients, #surfactants, #emulsifiers and #rheologymodifiers; and "hot bets" in #vitamins and #UVfilters. 🌞 Many such innovations will be featured at in-cosmetics Asia, to be held Nov. 5-7, 2024, in Bangkok.

12 HALLMARKS OF AGING - INPUT NEEDED! 👨💻 If you're working products or ingredients 👩🔬 that target the #hallmarks of #aging, we'd love to hear more -- and feature you in an upcoming project. Comment below 🗨 or send us an IM and we'll connect! 12 main hallmarks are generally described as follows. Which ones are you targeting? ��� (credit: Rebecca Gadberry) 1. GENOMIC #INSTABILITY: Skin cells are challenged to maintain genomic integrity in the face of environmental insults, especially from UV #radiation ☀, leading to an accumulation of #DNAlesions and mutations. 2. #TELOMERE ATTRITION: The progressive shortening of telomeres in skin cells serves as a #molecularclock ⏰ that correlates with replicative senescence and contributes to the aging of skin tissues. 3. #EPIGENETIC ALTERATIONS: Dysregulation of epigenetic mechanisms in skin results in altered gene expression, influencing cellular identity 😕 and function during aging processes. 4. LOSS OF #PROTEOSTASIS: Impairment in the maintenance of protein quality control mechanisms results in the accumulation of misfolded 〽 and damaged #proteins, leading to cellular dysfunction, #oxidativestress and impaired repair processes. 5. DEREGULATED NUTRIENT 🍎 SENSING: Disruption in #nutrient sensing can impact cellular #metabolism, #energy production and signaling cascades, influencing cellular responses to #stress and aging stimuli. 6. MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION: Dysfunction in #mitochondria compromises energy production 🏃♂️, #redox balance and cellular #homeostasis, impairing skin repair and regeneration. 7. CELLULAR #SENESCENCE: The accumulation of senescent 🧟♂️ skin cells, characterized by a stable growth arrest and altered #secretome, contributes to chronic #inflammation, tissue degeneration and compromised regenerative potential. 8. DISABLED #AUTOPHAGY: Malfunctioning in the cell’s recycling ♻ centers causes a buildup of molecular garbage that hinders cleaning of the cells and #cellrenewal. This #acceleratesaging, causes #agespots and compromises skin health. 9. #STEMCELL EXHAUSTION: Decline in the #regenerative capacity of skin stem cells impairs 🤕 tissue #repair and #rejuvenation processes, leading to compromised #skinbarrier function and structural integrity. 10. ALTERED INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION: #Disrupted communication 📣 between skin cells impacts their ability to coordinate responses to environmental cues, #stressors and #agingsignals, affecting tissue homeostasis, repair processes and skin health. 11. CHRONIC #INFLAMMATION: Persistent low-grade inflammation, driven by #immune dysregulation and #senescent 🧟♀️ cell secretions, contributes to #tissuedamage and accelerated aging. 12. #MICROBIOME DYSBIOSIS: #Imbalance in the microbiome disrupts the skin's immune responses, barrier function and homeostasis ⚖, influencing #skinhealth and aging.

Vytrus Biotech has leveraged its #biotech expertise to develop intact plant 🌼 #exosomes for skin and hair care applications; in relation, it has patented the concept of #ExosomicPeptides. As the company explains, exosomes are small extracellular vesicles bound by a lipid membrane 🔬 that hold and protect key "#natural biological communicators" for #skincare and health benefits — i.e., DNA, RNA, lipids, proteins, cytokines, heat shock proteins, enzymes, antioxidants and other #bioactives. These entities, including an array of plant peptides 🌾 🌱 (which the company refers to as Exosomic Peptides), can be manipulated for desired skin and #hairbenefits.
