TRI Princeton

The skin is the largest and fastest-growing organ in our bodies. Its water barrier properties are vital for our very survival, and its overall condition and appearance are essential to our health and wellbeing. It isn’t a surprise then that the skin care is the largest category in the cosmetics and personal care industry. The Principles of Skin Measurement Science & Claims course at TRI is designed for anyone involved in the development of new skin care products. The intensive two-day programme is designed for anyone who needs to build their knowledge rapidly in skin biology, the measurement techniques used in the development of new skin products, and best practice in claim substantiation and experimental design. The Principles of Skin Measurement Science & Claims course is designed to support personal training plans and continued professional development. All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course. All the course videos will be available to stream on-line for three months after the course, and slides for the presentations will also, where possible, be made available for further study. Registration for the course on-line costs $250, and for the course in-person at TRI costs $325. The in-person course includes, lunches, an evening social event and laboratory demos. The in-person course is limited to 30 people and is available on a first-come-first-served basis. Early-bird, group and TRI member company discounts are available. #skinscience #skintesting #skinresearch #skincare #skinproducts #biochemistry #triprinceton

When thinking of snails, the first adjectives that likely come to mind are ‘slimy’, ‘slippery’ and ‘garden pest’. You’re unlikely to think of them as the latest beauty trend! However, snail mucin is purported to offer a range of beauty benefits including repairing skin damage, soothing irritation, fading acne scars, hydration, helping with atopic dermatitis and even antibacterial properties. This isn’t a modern thing; use of mucus left behind by snails and slugs has been traced back to Ancient Greece, where it was used to reduce inflammation and signs of aging and was allegedly endorsed by Hippocrates.

In recent years there has been an uptick in haircare products specifically designed for afro-textured hair types, also known was Walker hair-type 4, with numerous social media influencers giving hints and tips for afro styling. A recent explosion in blog articles, videos and websites devoted to the care of textured hair, particularly for preventing breakage and improving curl definition and hydration, has given the consumer more information than ever before. Things to avoid (chemicals, bleaching, hot irons), as well as ingredients or treatments are all discussed in detail, alongside the advantages of products containing natural oils, for example jojoba, castor oil or shea butter. For straight to lightly curled hair, nourishing hair fibers and maintaining moisturization, strength and hair condition are identified as key aspects to address, and as such, consumers have started demand these innovations. This means that manufacturers have had to move quickly to address market need. CONTINUE READING ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eeqEVvSk

A new edition of ‘The Latest at TRI’ is now available. First up we have an announcement, our ‘Principles of Skin Measurement Science & Claims’ course is back this September. Attendees can join in person at TRI, or online. Register now if you wish to attend in person, as places are limited. We are looking forward to this year’s course! Next is a summary of our ‘11th International Conference on Applied Hair Science’ which attracted 445 attendees, roughly 100 of whom attended the live event. Attendees watched 23 podium presentations and viewed 20 posters. Most of the presenters were at Red Bank, but the hybrid format allowed us to hear talks from speakers as far away as Hong Kong and New Zealand.
