🌊 Sulphates in Cosmetics – Harmful or Misunderstood? 💭 Sulphates often get a bad reputation in the beauty world, with myths suggesting they’re harsh or even harmful. But are they truly as bad as they’re made out to be? For starters, sulphates are powerful surfactants known for their deep cleansing and foaming properties. While high concentrations can cause irritation, regulated levels are safe and widely used in rinse-off products, from shampoos to body washes. In fact, sulphates offer benefits like effective cleansing and a luxurious foaming aesthetic that many consumers enjoy. Plus, they are often biodegradable, making them a sustainable choice in many formulations. The industry is also evolving with sulphate-free alternatives that cater to consumer demand for gentler options. These innovations maintain cleansing power while being milder on the skin, offering the best of both worlds. Sulphates aren’t inherently bad—it’s all about the formulation and how the ingredient fits your needs. What’s your take on sulphates? Are you team sulphate or sulphate-free? Let us know below! 👇 Register now and find your next sulphates are alternatives https://bit.ly/4hlkb6S Karen Young #CosmeticScience #IngredientMyths #SulphatesInBeauty #BeautyDebates #incosglobal #BeautyInnovation #incosmetics

In Asia, feet may carry very different cultural meanings. In India, touching feet shows respect, whilst in Thailand, pointing feet at others is seen as disrespectful. Historically, China practised foot binding, a beauty standard that was abolished by the mid 20th century. Today, foot care is gaining global attention. The latest trends in footcare highlight the importance of maintaining healthy feet with innovative products and treatments designed to pamper and protect our soles. As our contributor John Jiménez was ready to put his...feet up in Australia, something got him thinking about footcare, from foot sunscreens to feet masks or products for diabetic feet… 👇 Read the article now. https://bit.ly/40uyNJY #footcare #beauty #multifunctional

One of the most exciting developments in the field of #antiageing (or well ageing) is the emergence of #senolytics, a class of compounds originally studied in longevity science for their potential to improve overall health and delay age-related decline. But what exactly are senolytics, how do they function, and why should brands explore their potential? Moreover, what lies ahead for senolytics—could they become the next big thing in the quest for age-defying beauty?

🕵️ Unlock the truth about silicones in beauty products! Myths about silicones are everywhere—clogging pores, causing acne, weighing down hair, and more. But what if we told you it’s time to rethink these claims? Here’s the scoop from industry experts: ◾ Silicones don’t clog pores, they form breathable, permeable films on the skin to protect without blocking. They’re also non-comedogenic and leave a soft, lightweight feel. ◾Silicones are commonly used in medical products for their hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and non-reactive nature. They can actually help smooth acne-affected skin. ◾Misconceptions about silicones weighing down hair fail to account for formulations. Modern hair care products are engineered to avoid this while delivering moisture and shine. Trusted by experts, silicones bring texture, performance, and safety to beauty products. Environmental concerns remain important, but balanced dialogue and informed perspectives are key. What are your thoughts on using silicones in formulations? https://bit.ly/4g8Z0nv #incosmetics #incosglobal #seeyouinamsterdam #incos # formulations #sustainability #siliconefacts #mythbusters
