EDITORIAL Positive changes Not one day goes by when the topic of “sustainability” cannot be found in the media. Although it’s always present, it’s never becomes monotonous. The cosmetics industry FOLLOW COSSMA ON: in particular is constantly finding new ways to optimise the sustainability of the entire production chain. For example, both manufacturers and customers pay a lot of attention to the biodegradability of the ingredients. However, even some degradable components break down into microplastics, which are known to cause great damage in the world’s oceans. That is why scientists are working on harmless active ingredients from ecological www.cossma.com sources and on boosters that ensure that fewer active ingredients are required. Since this is a very extensive topic with many facets, we have dedicated our current “Go future” from page 8 to it. Sustainability in the cosmetics industry also means avoiding excessive consumption of www.linkedin.com/company/cossma-digital raw materials, optimising production processes and transporting in such a way that the carbon footprint of the product and company is as low as possible. The good news: A lot is happening here right now that will help us to protect our earth and our future! www.twitter.com/cossmamagazine Stay healthy!

INGREDIENTS Main advantages in cosmetics The most important advantages are the protection of the encapsulated compound, preventing its degrada- tion, and the ability to transport and release it in the target skin layers, increasing the payloads efficiency. In case of the latest developments, another big advantage is the increased precision of target oriented modern liposomes which allows for more effi- cient use of actives, thus reducing the figure 1: Structure of a a liposome. amount needed to achieve a desired efficacy, and consequently reduces undesired side effects.
