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!

             Research | Consumers
             are increasingly
             demanding natural
             cosmetics. To fulfil these
             wishes, formulators have
             to consider a lot. The
             origin of the ingredients
             and their ecological
             harmlessness as well as
             the safety of the products
             are important factors.

Improve Biodegradability
Sunscreen | In the current discussion about environmental friendliness in cosmetic
products, the requirements for sunscreens are also increasing. Since many of the filters
on the market enjoy the dubious reputation of not being easily degradable, one way to
lessen the environmental impact of these products is to use boosters.

              How the booster works
              The booster is utilising a light scatte-
              ring mechanism with UV scattering
              attributed to its particle size and refrac-
              tive index (1.51-1.56). Scattering of
              the harmful UV light can increase the
              optical path length inside the sun-
              screen film, resulting in a higher
              probability for the UV light to be ab-
              sorbed or strongly backscattered by
              the UV filters. To enable the optimal
              performance, it is recommended to

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.
