Welcome back to Carlson's Comer!

I can't believe that November is here! The trees are colorful and the days are shorter heralding the end of another busy and enjoyable year. It took a lot of hard worK from many dedicated vol unteers to ensure another successful year for the Midwest SeC-from the newsletter, to the venues, scheduling the speakers, laking reservations, greeting people, running special events and handling the finances. Our organization is based on volunteers that help to get everything done, and our chapter would not be what it is without our marvelous volunteer team.

We had five wonderful MWSCC Dinner and Education Meetings this year. Our biggest best attended event this year was the Teamworks Trade Show. That was preceded by an exciting "Roaring 20's Speakeasy and Casino" Teamworks Social Night. What a fun way to start our Teamworks event! We also celebrated our summer event together with our Spectacular Second Annual Golf Outing. I can't speak to the quality of golf played, but there was definitely a great deal of socializing, networking, and above all FUN out on the greens and fa irways. Thank you to our team of volunteers who made these events possible, from arranging venues to taking reservations and greeting those who attended.

We had three additional Educational Events this year. The Teamworks Half-day Education Session : "Formulating for Marketing Demands" was both stimulating and helpfu l. Our free Midwest Tutorial titled:" Fragrance Overview for Personal Care Products· was also informative. Finally, our Technical Symposium was an interactive, creative day in line with our Innovation theme.

Thank you to our speakers for providing us with the education that we crave to excel at the mission of the MWSCC. I also thank all the new members for joining-our continued success depends on the fresh energy and perspective that you bring. Most of all thank you to you for your involvement and support. We continue to welcome all your contributions; whether in the form of new ideas or volunteer service or any other way you feel you can help keep the MWSCC as vibrant and useful as it is today.

You can gather from the highlights above that I had the privilege of working with incredibly talented, committed and enthusiastic individua ls. I am very thankful that I had such wonderful help to make my time as Chair of the MWSCC that much easier. But just as the year draws to an end, so too does my time as Chair for the MWSCC. It's time for me to hand it over to the new team headed by the very capable Melissa Tolla, and I look forward to an even better year ahead for the MWSCC.

Thank you for all of your support. I look forward to seeing you at

the November meeting and I wish you well in the future.

A Note from the Editor By Sandy Tschantz -SCCoop Newsletter Editor

Time changes everything - Bob Wills

It's hard to imagine it's been two and a half years, but it has. It is ti me for me to pass the torch , or actually escort the huge binder of the newsletters of the past, to the next link in the chain of SCCoop editors .

The tranSition is bitter·sweet for me. I'm looking forward to futu re opportunities but will definitely miss this. I don't think I'd ever say the job was easy, but I think it was fun. I've spoken with authors of the trade, leaders of the industry, and bloggers of renown. I've clung to the back of a golf cart with my feet, while madly snapping action shots of fel low chapter members at our first annual golf outing. I even managed to train my cat Beaker as a cosmetic industry word·search puzzle author. I mean really, where else can you do all that but as SCCoop editor? Volunteering is definitely worth it, you should try it.

With the coming of November and changing of the Officers, I'm proud to present Ms. Cinda Carlson as the next SCCoop editor. Cinda has been a joy to work with, being the chair·elect and chair for the chapter over the past two years. I look forward to seeing SCCoop continue to grow and change in her hands.

Please join me in welcoming Cinda to the SCCoop team and congratulate her on her new role at the November meeting .

Happy trails.

How to Test Cosmetic Raw Materia ls by Perry Romanowski · Vice President at Brains Publishing

As a cosmetic chemist you will likely be inundated with new raw materials and sales people encouraging you to try out their la test and greatest offerings. If they have an interesting sales pitch you might even request a sample. Unfortunately by the time you get the samples a few days later, you often forget why you were interested in the first place. You're left with unopened samples which will pile up on your lab bench only to be moved and pitched the next time you have lab clean-up day. This is a complete waste of effort for both you and the sales people.

To prevent this from happening you need to create a system for obtaining and evaluating raw material samples. Here are some tips for setting up a system to evaluate new cosmetic raw materials.

Write down your ideas During a meeting with a sales person be sure to keep notes about the meeting. Specifically write down raw material names and the reason you might want to get a sample. Note also whether you requested a raw material & if you received it. This way when you get a sample a few days later you 'll know why you wanted it in the first place.

It's useful to keep a list of raw materials and ideas related to the material on a separate sheet from your meeting notes. So when you receive a raw material sample you can consult the list and quickly remember why you asked for it.

Have a place for your samples After you receive a raw material sample, you should put it in a designated space. Leaving it out on your lab bench or randomly putting it on a shelf makes it less likely that you will ever do anything with it. Keep only new raw materia ls in this space. Also, don 't make the space too large as this will on ly encourage you to put off doing something with the sample.

You should also have a policy where you can't get a new sample if there isn't room in your designated area for it. This will make you do something with old samples before filling the cabinet with new ones.

Oh yes, be sure to put a date on every sample you receive. If a sample is over 1 year old, THROW IT OUT and get a new one. But remember, if you haven't done anything with a sample in over 1 year it's not likely you are ever going to do something with it.

Have a plan for your cosmetic raw materials In addition to label ing your new raw material sample, you should also put a short Post-It Note on the sample indicating what you plan to do with it. This can be a simple sentence like "test in body wash" or 'evaluate in skin creamM depending on what idea you had for the sample. These reminders will make it easier for you to remember why you requested a sample and what you plan to do with it.

Create blank base formu las for testing The best thing you can do with most samples is to evaluate them from a standard cosmetic base. If sha mpoos are your area of work, create a gallon of a shampoo base that contains only the surfactants, preservatives, and other

SCCoop November 201 0 • Vol XlII • No. a

feature Ar.ticle

critical ingredients. Leave out ingredients like fragrance, color, or conditioning ingredients. You want to keep the system as simple as possible.

Pick areas for evaluation You should record various characteristics of the blank base such as foam level , moisturizing levels, viscosity, pH, etc. This will give you something to compare to when your new raw material is added to the blank base. Perhaps most critical is to use the blank base yourself in the manner in which the consumer would use a finished product. Get familiar with how the product works and feels. You have to become an expert evaluator of the base before you can determine whether the new raw material improves the product or not.

Create your test samples Often the hardest thing about testing new cosmetic raw materials is figuring out what level of the ingredient you should use. You can get some direction from the supplier but rea lize that they are going to tell you a higher level than you actually need. (The more they sell, the better). At this stage of development however, I like to use the highest level of an ingredient that seems reasonable. You can always cut back on the level if the initial tests are promising.

In general, put any new ingredient in at at least 1 % of the formula when evaluating it for effectiveness.

Record your results After you've created a sample with the new raw material in your base, check the appearance for any effect the ingredient might have had. Note clarity, color, and odor differences. Try the test sample and the blank sample one after another. Ideally, you will do this on a blinded basis so you won't be biased in favor (or against) a new material. In your first evaluation just answer the question, "do I notice any difference between the sample with and without the raw material?D If the answer is 'no' then you can probably stop further evaluations. Don't waste your time on ingredients that don't have a significant, consumer-noticeable effect. If the answer is 'yes' then design a more rigorous test to evaluate further.

Focus on consumer important raw materials Since there are lots of different raw materials out there, spend your time evaluating ones that can have a consumer­noticeable affect. There is certainly a place in the world for new emulsifiers but the truth is consumers don't care about emulsifiers. No one will create the next greatest cosmetic formula by changing their emulsification system. Look for ingredients that can effect feel, moisturizing effect, foam levels, etc. These are the areas in which the best new formulas will be found.

Take action Perhaps the most important thing about getting a new cosmetic raw material sample is to do something with it. Put it in a formula, evaluate it, then either get rid of it or ask for more. No one benefits from a sample sitting untouched on your lab bench.

One final point, tt is also nice to provide feedback to the sales person who gave you the sample. Even ~ you tested something and didn't like it, this would be helpful for a sales person to know. They can communicate back to their lab and maybe, just maybe, the lab will be inspired to make improvements and deliver new cosmetic ingredients that chemists can really use.
