2014: The NYSCC Year in Review… by Steve Neidenberg, NYSCC Chair
Our Chapter’s dedicated volunteers filled this past calendar yearwith many wonderful opportunities for us to come together, learn,and socialize. We had eleven major events in 2014. The only
months without a meeting, symposium, or social event were January,August, and November. In February and May we actually had two events.For the first time in many years, we added an extra special event inDecember to support and complement the Annual SCC Scientific Meetingin New York City. As you might imagine, there is always much behind-the-scenes workinvolved in planning and organizing each of these events. On the pagesthat follow there is a brief summary of the year with acknowledgments andgratitude given to the cadre of volunteers and speakers who participatedin making each one of our events special. If you would like to be part of one of these committees in the future(check out the 2015 Events Calendar in this issue) you will find it extremelyrewarding and fun to give something back to the industry that keeps usgainfully employed. We can always use more help and new ideas. If thisis something that you are contemplating, I invite you to contact a board orcommittee member to find out more. Our annual Suppliers’ Day is the largest and most anticipated tradeshow for the personal care industry in North America. The proceeds fromthis mega-event allow us subsidize our educational events, making themaffordable for our members. The activities of the National organization andits eighteen regional chapters are scientific, educational or charitable inscope. Much appreciation goes to the volunteers and paid professionals thatmake Suppliers’ Day so successful year after year. Specifically, I would liketo thank Danielle Kennedy (Kobo Products), Sandy Chapin (Allured),Juliana Rumbaugh (Lonza), Jeff Crume (Lubrizol), Gillian Ratto (L'Oréal),Victor Low (Lonza), Carolyn Curtin (Curtin Productions), Karl Bitner (Albert Kemperle), Andrea Guerrero (Gattefossé USA), John Carola(Protameen), Monica Haltrecht (Lubrizol), Debbie McCarthy (Kobo Products), Josh Wolfman (All Ingredients Plus), Judi Grossman (IFCSolutions), Doug Krysiak (Croda), Alison Griffin (EMD Chemicals), Jim Lynch (Ultra Chemical), Sharon Martin (Mary Kay Cosmetics),Sylvain Maur (Lucas Meyer Cosmetics), Stephanie MacDonald (Dow Corning), and Kyle Gormley (EES Cosmetic Solutions). Administratively, this year the New York and other chapters became incorporated to protect our financial assets and our volunteersfrom liabilities. Thank you to my entire board for their input and cooperation with our legal representation to draft the necessary documentsand put them into effect. Also, we updated our By-Laws to reflect how we currently operate today. Thank you to all those involved.

Abstract:
Amorphous polymeric materials are used in a wide array of technologiesranging from organic electronics to structural components of airplanes.As many of these technologies trend towards nanometer length scales,
it is imperative to have a fundamental understanding of the properties of polymer glasses at the lengthscale, geometry, and environment of the application. Recent work in polymer physics shows that the structuralrelaxation time near a free surface of a thin polystyrene film is significantly different from that of thebulk polymer. This can have a large influence on their properties. For instance, studies have shown thatpolystyrene thin films exhibit a decreased glass transition temperature (Tg) as the thickness decreases below60 nm. A puzzling aspect of this phenomenon is that most studies indicate that there is no molecular weightdependence on Tg reduction in supported films, while the same phenomenon in freestanding polystyrenefilms shows strong molecular weight dependence. In this study, we use cooling-rate dependent Tgmeasurements to indirectly probe the relaxation dynamics of thin polystyrene films, and show they aredirectly influenced by the dynamics of the free surface. Furthermore, we show that the relaxation dynamicsof supported polystyrene films slow down slightly as the molecular weight of polystyrene is increased.
Biography:
Ethan Glor is a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. His current work under Dr.Zahra Fakhraai consists of gaining new insight into the dynamics of amorphous polymeric materials in thehopes of eventually preparing polymeric glasses with high density and high kinetic stability. Ethan was
awarded an Honorable Mention for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in 2013, andis a 2011 graduate of Haverford College with a B.S. degree in Chemistry.

Abstract:
Poly(amide)-based dendrimers have shown potential as scaffolds for celldelivery agents when used in conjunction with the peptide gH625, apeptide encompassing 625–644 residues of the glycoprotein H of herpes
simplex virus 1. The peptide has been shown to transport cargo across cellmembranes as well as have mild antiviral activity in vitro. Dendrimers werechosen as a scaffold due to the modular nature of their synthesis. The synthesis of mono-functionalized dendrimers has been explored and optimized by our researchgroup. It has been shown that when covalently attached to the termini of a second-generation (one having18 termini) dendrimer scaffold, the chosen peptide enters cells more efficiently. Varying the generation ofdendrimers may give dendrimer-based delivery systems an advantage over traditional linear polymericsystems. An array of dendrimer scaffolds with varying termini onto which the active peptide can be attachedwas synthesized. For comparison testing, linear analogs to the first and second-generation dendrimers weresynthesized. Cell studies are planned to determine the most efficient transmembrane transport system.
Biography:
Elizabeth Kaufman is a researcher and Ph.D. candidate in the Molecular Design Institute of the NYUGraduate School of Chemistry. Her current research under Dr. Marcus Weck, centers on biologicalapplications of the class of perfectly branched molecules known as dendrimers, particularly with regard to
the cellular uptake of such systems to optimize a cellular delivery system. Kaufman was granted a McCrackenAward in 2011 and became a Kramer Award recipient in 2014. Kaufman's undergraduate research focused onsynthesis of organically templated gallium sulfates. Kaufman is a 2011 graduate of Haverford College with aB.S. degree in Chemistry.

n NYSCC Ski Trip – February 7, 2014 This year’s NYSCC Ski Trip took place on February 7, 2014 at Windham Mountainin New York. Cathy Piterski and Gillian Ratto organized the event, which was a greatsuccess. There were thirty-five NYSCC members who participated in the eventamounting to over ninety SCC members including those who participated from theLong Island chapter. All had much fun and no one got hurt, which is always a goodthing at a ski event.
n Joint Meeting with the Chinese-American Cosmetics Professionals Association – February 19, 2014 The February 2014 NYSCC monthly meeting was the secondannual joint meeting with the Chinese-American CosmeticProfessionals Association (CACPA). After a rescheduled date dueto a snowstorm, the meeting was held on Wednesday, February19th at the China Bowl King restaurant in Edison, NJ. In honor ofthe Chinese New Year (Year of the Horse), the meeting wasorganized as a traditional Chinese banquet consisting of tableservice for a twelve course meal. Our speaker was Dr. Sue Feng,Revlon Vice-president of Global Color Cosmetics, Skin Care andThird-Party Manufacturing. Dr. Feng’s presentation addressed themarket trends in Asia with specific examples of the hottest andfastest growing topics and how they became success stories inthe Asian markets. There were 92 guests in attendance. I would like to thank all of the NYSCC & CACPA volunteers that assisted with this event. Special thanksneed to be given to Brian Hom (Ruger Chemical), Sue Feng (Revlon), Evelyn Su (Sino Lion), John Carola(Protameen), Amy Marshall (Altana), and Judith Bernabe (Gattefossé USA) for being so responsive andflexible when Mother Nature decided that February 5th was not a good day to go out for dinner.
n NYSCC Rheology Symposium – March 19-20, 2014 The response to the Chapter’s first full-day rheology symposium in 2012 was tremendous. The topicwas of such great interest to our members that the turnout exceeded our expectations and the capacityof the Liberty Science Center. Unfortunately, we had to closeregistration at 225 attendees leaving many disappointed. This yearthe Rheology Symposium Committee planned a more ambitioustwo-day symposium at a new venue, the campus of PrincetonUniversity, with an auditorium seating capacity of 300 persons.Attendance topped 250. The first day gave attendees the optionto choose between taking one or both condensed half-day S.C.C.Continuing Education Courses (Denis Laba taught CosmeticRheology and Dr. Robert Lochhead taught Gums, Thickeners andRheology Modifiers) and listening to 16 experts give short 10-minute talks similar to the popular Ted Talks on the Internet. Onthe second day we learned from eight more subject matterexperts giving more in-depth and detailed talks each about 40minutes in length. The symposium’s keynote speaker was Robert Bianchini, Ph.D. (VP Innovation Merck)who presented “The Importance of Rheology to a Successful Product Development Plan.” The symposium also included a Social Gala Reception on the first evening and an evening EducationalProgram on the second day. People who could not break away from work for one or two full days couldregister just for one or both evening programs if they chose. Scheduled for the first evening was GaryAgisim (Pfizer) to present “Stick it to the Stick: Insights and Advances in Lip Balm Structure and TestingMethodologies.” Dr. Robert Lochhead graciously accepted a last minute invitation to talk on the history ofpolymers of acrylic acid and other extremely interesting topics when Gary had to cancel due to illness. Wesincerely hope our good friend Gary recovers quickly. The SCC is fortunate to have him as a past presidentof the SCC and prolific scientific contributor for so many years. On the second evening Dr. Trefor Evans (TA

Evans LLC) presented “Use of the Viscoelastic Properties of Hair in the Elucidation of its Complex Structure.” In total, the committee gathered over 28 industry and rheology experts for us. Thank you to all of thepresenters who came to share their knowledge. Participation by instrument vendors demonstrating theirrheometers and ingredient suppliers presenting scientific posters further increased our knowledge and alsohelped defray costs. We are always appreciative of their support for our Chapter events. Thank you to entire Rheology Committee for their efforts: • Chair – Joseph Albanese (3V Inc.) • Co-Chair and Instrument Vendors – Daphne Benderly (Presperse) • Catering – Daria Long (Inolex) • Poster Session - Steve Fantano (Mobius Sales Group) and Bruce Kaduk (3V) • Peer Review – Roger McMullen and Timothy Gillece (both of Ashland, Inc.) • Hotel and Travel – Jenna Jelinski (Extracts & Ingredients) • Registration – John Carola (Protameen) Lastly, we would be remiss if we did not also thank and acknowledge the support and sponsorship ofour host, Professor Dr. Robert Prud’homme of Princeton University. With his endorsement the universitywaived their normal $15 per person fee for the two-day use of campus facilities. Thus cutting the NYSCC’scosts by about $3,700.
n Plant Science Seminar – April 23, 2014 A seminar on Plant Science for renewable actives was held April 23, 2014at the Seasons in Washington Township, NJ. The attendees had an opportunity tolearn about the power of plant science and unique actives ingredients that can begenerated. Dr. John Greaves (Kemin) presented on the power of plant science. Hedemonstrated how Kemin’s specialty crop improvement (SCI) initiative is focusedon breeding specific clonal lines and cultivars of a number of plant species withoptimized hyper-accumulation of specific bioactive molecules for use in food,nutrition, health, personal care, and household applications. Dr. Satish Nayak (Kemin) discussed the role of plants in producingantioxidants to counter negative oxidative reactions. By using novel methodologies he demonstrated howthese antioxidants can be extracted from various biological sources such as plants and algae for use byhumans in various applications such as foods, medicines, and cosmetics. Thanks to our speakers and to those committee members that made this a very successful seminar! • Program Chair – Cathy Piterski (Essential Ingredients) • Seminar Chair – Marsha Bro (Kemin) • Media Chair – Johanna Gigliotti (Soliance) • House Chair – Andrea Guerrero (Gattefossé USA)
n Cosmetics in Contemporary Brazil – May 12, 2014 A daylong seminar on Cosmetics in Contemporary Brazil was held May 12, 2014 at the RenaissanceWoodbridge. The 200 attendees appreciated this educational extension of the Suppliers’ Day experience.
A member of the rising economic powers, otherwise known asthe BRIC nations, and a significant emerging market, Brazil is LatinAmerica's largest economy and the fifth largest country in the worldwith a population estimated to be about 200 million. Brazil is a majorconsumer of personal care products and fragrances. As morecompanies need to reach new markets, a greater understanding ofconsumer preferences, important product types, and regulatory issuesin this vast and growing market is essential. The program was packedwith interesting speakers and topics.
The international theme of the May seminar began in 2013 witha program on Chinese regulatory affairs and continues in 2015 witha program on the Indian personal care industry. Experts from the
target country give special insight into a key emerging market and these seminars have made the week ofSuppliers’ Day an even more valuable destination for our industry. Special gratitude is due to Steve Herman(Fairleigh Dickinson University) for organizing this event.

n NYSCC Antioxidant Symposium – June 5, 2014 On June 5th, the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists hosted thefirst ever Antioxidant Symposium at the New York Academy of Scienceslocated in Building 7 of the recently constructed World Trade CenterComplex. Among the splendid views from the 40th floor of one of the WorldTrade Center towers, there were over 240 attendees present at the event.The scientific program consisted of a series of 15 lectures throughout theday and a concurrent poster technology session including 18 participantcompanies and institutions. There was equal representation from finishedgoods companies, suppliers, and academic institutions for both theposter session and podium lectures. In the early part of the day, lectures by Drs. Roger L. McMullenand Edward Pelle set the pace for the symposium. This was followedby heated discussions on the influence of dietary phytochemicals onskin health. After lunch, the keynote lecture was delivered by the eminent Prof.Dr. Jean Krutmann of IUF – Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine,who discussed the damaging effects of infrared radiation on the skin—a novel technological area within thefield of antioxidants. Later on, an intriguing presentation by Dr. Karen Burke, affiliated with Mt. Sinai MedicalCenter and a practicing dermatologist in New York City, was well received for its scientific merits and insightinto pioneering antioxidant technologies. There was also an introduction to the business side of antioxidantspresented by Mr. Nikola Matic—a market analyst from Kline & Company. Poster prizes were given for 1st and 2nd place—two prizes in each place. The two 1st place prizesof $1,500 were awarded to Dr. Diana Change of Rutgers University and Drs. Ed Pelle and Qi Zhang ofEstée Lauder Companies. The two 2nd place prizes of $1,000 were awarded to Dr. Jean-Marie Botto ofAshland Specialty Ingredients (Vincience Skin Research Institute) and Mr. Julian Silverman of City Collegeof New York, CUNY. The NYSCC Antioxidant Symposium was also attended by the IFSCC Praesidium—the governing bodyof the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists. Twice per year they meet together todiscuss important IFSCC issues. This year they elected to hold their spring meeting in New York City inconjunction with the NYSCC Antioxidant Symposium. In addition, the IFSCC sponsored one of thesymposium speakers—Dr. Martina Meinke from Klinik fur Dermatologie, Berlin, Germany who spoke about:Changes in Cutaneous Radical Scavenging Activity after Topical and Systemic Application of Antioxidants. All attendees of the event went home with a program booklet containing all of the symposiumpresentations and poster abstracts as well as a textbook entitled Antioxidants and the Skin. Throughout the day, the auditorium was at full capacity. There was not a free seat in the house, not evenduring the closing remarks of the symposium. Overall, the day was a great success. It was one of the bestevents ever put together by the NYSCC. The NYSCC Executive Board would like to express its sincere gratitude to the planning committee forthis event: • Chair – Roger L. McMullen, Ph.D. (Ashland, Inc.) • Poster Session – Bret Clark (Ashland, Inc.) • Hotel and Travel – Yelena Zolotarsky (Sensient) • Registration – John Carola (Protameen) • Publications – Daphne Benderly, Ph.D. (Presperse) • Catering – Jenna Jelinski (Extracts & Ingredients) • Adviser – Joe Albanese (3V)
n Golf Outing – July 28, 2014 This year’s golf outing was a big hit with record breaking attendance at the event. Thisyear we played at a new location, The Royce Brook Golf Club in Hillsborough, NJ. There were a few special new components to the outing. First, we dedicated one ofthe Closest to the Pin awards to Alan Farer (Coty) and renamed it the “Alan Farer – Go ForThe Green” prize. Second, we had a fund raiser for Ken Lesenko (RITA) dedicated to his

Many thanks to Alissa Frontauria (Energizer), Kathleen Landherr (S.M.A. Collaboratives), Kevin O’Brien,and Chair John DeNoia, Jr. (John R DeNoia Jr & Associates) for making this event a success.
n NYSCC Culinary Event – September 18, 2014 The 6th Annual Culinary Event was another big hit as guests prepared scrumptious appetizers such as
Caramelized Onion Quiche, Wild Mushroom Truffles, andSalmon Croquette from this year’s French menu theme. All121 guests also enjoyed Bistro Steak Au Poivre andRatatouille entrees and for dessert, a Classic Tarte Tartin. Thissuccess is largely thanks to committee members, AndreaGuerrero (Gattefossé USA), Amy Marshall (Altana), andDanielle DeWolf (DeWolf Chemicals), who chose a greatvenue, MidTown Loft, complete with a terrace with a full360-view of Manhattan. Thanks is also due to the caterer,My Cooking Party, who have over the years provided atruly memorable hands-on cooking experience for theNYSCC.
n Sun Exposure Symposium: Implications & Protection of Skin – October 15, 2014 This year’s Sun Exposure Symposium, held at The Pines Manor inEdison, NJ, was another great success for the NYSCC in 2014. There wasmuch participation from industry and academia. There were eight speakers,twenty-one vendors, twenty-five poster competitors, and 238 meetingattendees that participated in a lively and highly interactive full day event. The global experts presenting at this symposium shared their recentfindings and strategies, expanding attendee’s knowledge of how to innovatetheir way to consumer desirable, regulatory compliant sunscreen products. Our sponsors made it possible to distribute two books and gift bags toall meeting attendees, and present awards to the poster competition winners. Special thanks go out to the entire committee for the event: • Chair – Laura A.

n 2014 December Holiday Party – December 11, 2014 Every year, the Society of Cosmetic Chemists holds its Annual Meeting and TechnologyShowcase in New York City inviting all members from the global cosmetic industry tocome out to Manhattan. The event has always been highlighted by supplier-hosted dinners,suite parties, and cocktails. A yearly party by a supplier has always been one of the mainattractions, always held at either Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock Café. A few years back, thisparty was cancelled. This year, the New York Chapter of the SCC decided to fill that void andinvite all SCC members for a membership appreciation party to support and encouragenetworking and interaction between all SCC members. This party is completely sponsored bythe New York chapter for all SCC members. This event could not have been a success without theplanning and participation of our committee members: Alissa Frontauria (Energizer), Giorgino Macalino(Avon), Kristina Kannheiser (Ariel Laboratories), Joseph Dunn (Rossow USA), John Carola (Protameen), JudithBernabe (Sensient), and Michael Sharphouse (Ardmore).

Mr. Burns? Is That You? …by Donald Koelmel
By rough count, after 40 years in industry, I’ve averaged about onenew supervisor a year. And no heart attacks, substance addictions,nor mental breakdowns—yet.
Having experienced such a broad spectrum of personalities andstyles, and despite my complete lack of any degrees in BusinessAdministration, Psychology, or Philosophy, I feel extremely well qualifiedto opine on today’s topic: Boss versus Leader – How to Tell them Apart. It pretty much all comes down to behaviors. A Leader is NOTsomeone like “The Leader” from The Simpsons’ 1998 “The Joy of Sect”episode (you really can learn a lot from cartoons). That particular evil,brainwashing, dominating m ovementarian cult figure demonstratesquintessential Boss behavior. A genuine Leader encourages you to thinkfor yourself, but not so much about yourself. True Leaders tend towardsselfless goals. Selfishness is a top Boss priority. WD-40 Company (yes, they make that spray lubricant that’s in yourtoolbox) is a remarkably successful small company (no, I do not owntheir stock). I recall an interview with Garry Ridge, their CEO, where he described his company’s cultureand how company managers viewed employees. “I am not here to grade you,” he said. “I am here to helpyou get an A.” A true Leader enables you to be your very best and emphasizes what could be tomorrow. ABoss defines you by scorekeeping, relishing every opportunity to remind you of past failures andshortcomings. Don’t forget, that Dunce of the Decade trophy has your name on it. A Boss loves certain communication tools, such as instantaneous soapboxes, bullhorns and multi-page,larger-than-life-sized font e-mails. And let’s not forget those mandatory, lock-the-doors, gather-around-the-cozy-campfire, droning-on staff meetings. A Leader will have none of this drama. Straight up, eye-to-eye,with respect is a Leader’s way. Sadly, many are plagued with a Boss. What to do with your Mr. Burns? Simple. Fire da bum! You deservebetter. Upgrade. Get yourself a Leader.
