What are you tolerating? What is robbing you of your energy? The May meeting was our last meeting until we resume in the Fall. Those who were in attendance, worked on improving theirwork-life balance by identifying specific measurable goals and recognizing what needs to happen to improve their lives. Business Coach Tom Kelley covered personal boundaries,intentions vs actions, and overall belief systems. If you are one who often thinks, “I could work 80 hours and that is still not enough time to get all my work done.” Tom Kelley had an advicefor you. He was encouraging to shift your beliefs and change your goals. You can create the ideal schedule for what your life would look like, if you designed it according to those goals.

MWSCC is excited to support the following upcoming events in the weeks and months ahead:

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Amanda RountreeResearch and Development ChemistEcoco, Inc.2016 Midwest Chapter

What made you pursue a career in cosmetic/personal care industry? Ever since I was young, I have always been fascinated with science and the tangible world around me. In 6th grade, I received a pH meter as a gift from my dad and I became obsessed with measuring the pH of everything around me. I took my first chemistry class, and I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. In high school, we had a saponification laboratory, which really intrigued me. One of my favorite laboratory experiments was an ester experiment where I synthesized isoamyl acetate, a notable fruity, banana aroma. When I got home after that laboratory, I looked up what specific chemistry that lab entailed and found two websites: SCC and Chemist Corner. From that moment forward, I made an unwavering decision to become a cosmetic chemist.

While in college, I attended SCC meetings as a student member. I wrote an article for the Chicago section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) about bath bombs, and I volunteered for the ACS to educate and hopefully inspire future chemists from the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America. I also convinced my professor to allow my laboratory partner and I to stray from the pre-planned laboratories so we could pursue a research project examining the elemental composition of hair with the ICP-OES and SEM-EDS. I immersed myself in anything and everything related to cosmetic chemistry.

On a personal note, I was inspired to become specifically a cosmetic chemist, because I know cosmetics can make people feel great about themselves. When I was 10 years old, a dog attack caused immense scarring and bruising on my face. As a kid, it was

hard to deal with since it made me feel insecure. On picture day that year, I had makeup applied to my face for the first time, and I felt like a new person with a great deal of confidence. That moment made me want to contribute to the cosmetic industry so I could help people feel as confident and happy as I did.

Favorite Part of job? I love making people feel good about themselves with the products I create. My ultimate goal is to highlight and enhance the existing beauty that lives both on the surface and within each individual. I really love creating special and memorable products that people enjoy incorporating into their routine.


My team is very supportive, and I thrive off of the inspiration they provide me with. Naturally, I am enthusiastic about what I do; however, Ecoco has such an amazing environment that amplifies my motivation for tackling new challenges every day.

What has been your most recent professional accomplishment? I was recently a part of launching our new line, Talyoni, at Salon Centric. Talyoni features time-honored classics with modern innovations that transcend beyond the superficial to promote overall wellness for skin, hair, and sprit. Our mission with Talyoni really embodies and aligns with my own view of cosmetics. It really makes me proud to be a part of a brand with a great legacy.

How has membership in the SCC been of value to you? My SCC membership has been a dream come true for me. As a college student just starting out in the industry, I attended my first SCC meeting with my friend Mirachelle Anselmo, who was job seeking after graduating. I was so nervous since we had no idea what to expect. I was first greeted by Mary Milinko and Debbie Zartler. They gave Mirachelle and I such a warm welcome, and we both felt so comforted and at ease. We got to sit at the speaker’s table, which was so cool to me. I got to meet so many people and learn what they did. I brought business cards and resumes with me, hungry to get involved. I began my networking campaign and told everyone to consider hiring me in June, once I graduated.

Mirachelle was hired within two months, so I knew people really did want to help aspiring students. Everyone was so supportive of us, and if they did not have a job at their company, they asked around. Come April, I was offered a job in R&D, and I said yes without hesitation. I

got my start right out of college with contract manufacturing. It was nice to get experience with everything from laundry detergent to lotion. I was grateful to have been mentored by Raquel Arellano as she taught me all the basics and essentials.

Once I gathered a great deal of experience, I was offered an amazing opportunity with Ecoco, and it is all thanks to the people I met in the SCC who lead me to this path. It is much more than a professional scientific organization to me; it is a community full of supportive individuals. I cannot thank everyone enough for being there for me.

What advice would you give your younger self who is just starting out in the industry? I would tell myself not to worry since the scientific community in the cosmetic industry is not as cutthroat as I was led to believe. Everyone in the SCC is welcoming and supportive. Competitors are not enemies; they’re friends. I was worried that it would be hard to become a part of this community, but I now know it was the easiest and least stressful thing. I would tell myself that so many great opportunities lie ahead of you so don’t ever stop learning. At the end of the day, it’s not who you know, it’s who knows you.

What is a fun fact about yourself, outside of the SCC and your professional life? Even though I only have a small amount of time to do most of the activities I love because of the Chicago weather, I really enjoy outdoor activities. I love fishing for catfish and salmon—even in winter! In the summer, I enjoy swimming, rafting, paddle boarding, and playing tennis. When it is cold outside, I enjoy staying in and playing video games. My favorite thing to do is entertain my friends and constantly keep them laughing.


Launched in 2015 by the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, the NextGen Initiative was created to help young professionals and students further their education to attain successful and rewarding careers. Bridging the gap between young professionals and established professionals is at the heart of this critical initiative. Brought about by a need to align education and training with workforce needs, our mission is to attract, educate and provide for the advancement of our members.

What ingredients should you use in your formulas - Perry Romanowski (chemistscorner.com)

The hardest parts of creating a cosmetic formula are deciding which ingredients to use and figuring out how much to put in your formula. In this post we’ll look at both of these aspects of cosmetic formulating.

What ingredients should you use?There are three main types of cosmetic ingredients found in formulas

FunctionalAesthetic modifiersClaims

When deciding what ingredients to use you have to first figure out what you want your product to do. Answer the question, what is the purpose of the product?

Function of the ingredientMost products have some obvious function like cleansers which clean, moisturizer that make skin look and feel better, conditioners that make hair easier to comb, or color cosmetics that deliver a specific color. Once you figure out the function of your product, you can decide which functional ingredients are appropriate to include. For example, when making cleansers you should include detergents. When making skin creams, you need to include moisturizing ingredients. Identify the functional ingredients that can help you achieve the function of the product. To figure out these you need to research the variety of functional ingredients available. Information like this can be found at supplier’s websites or aggregator sites like ULProspector.com or Knowde.com or Special Chem for Cosmetics.

There may be a secondary function to your formula. This would be true of

something like an anti aging cream in which you want to make a formula that moisturizes but also combats signs of aging. For formulas like this you might include active ingredients to combat wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, or other specific skin problems.

Once you pick the functional ingredients, you can go through and identify ingredients meant to improve the aesthetics of the formula, and include things like preservatives, thickeners, fragrances, colors, and more to make the product look, feel, and smell the way you want.

Starting formulaInstead of starting from scratch, you could begin with a published starting formula. We have a whole list of places you can find free cosmetic formulas to help. When using a starting formula you may find either INCI names or Trade names for the ingredients. If the formula uses trade names then you can easily find the supplier of the ingredient and use that. However, if the formula uses INCI names then you’ll have to find individual suppliers for each of the ingredients. At this point in your formula development, it’s easiest to just get ingredients from suppliers you’ve either worked with in the past or are readily available from your usual sources.

What you have availableIf you’re working at a company that already has an inventory of cosmetic raw materials, it often makes sense to use ingredients that you already have available. If you are making a body wash and your company uses Sodium Laureth Sulfate for a shampoo formula for a different brand, it makes sense to use SLES for your body wash too. That leads to economies of scale and your manufacturing and purchasing people will appreciate your thoughtfulness. It will also cut down on work for you because you won’t need to do the work to certify another raw material supplier. When making a formula, it’s usually easier to work with what you already have.

What you can getSometimes you might not be able to get an ingredient listed in the starting formula. This can be because it’s produced by a big company that doesn’t sell to small companies or it may be an ingredient not available in your country. Not all the ingredients listed in the INCI dictionary are available everywhere in the world. In these cases, you’ll need to identify substitute ingredients based on what you are able to get. Finding local suppliers can be done by going to trade shows like New York Suppliers Day or InCosmetics. When picking substitute ingredients you’ll want to first identify the function of the ingredient you were going to use and find something with a similar function. Of course, this doesn’t always work as some ingredients might have the same function but don’t work the same in a formula.

The price of the ingredientAfter you’ve considered function and whether you have the ingredient, it makes sense to also consider the cost of an ingredient when picking one to use. To make a suitable profit for a cosmetic product you’ll need to keep your ingredient costs low. When searching through functional ingredients, be sure to consider the cost. Lower is usually better. However, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes an ingredient can cost more on a per pound basis but actually contribute a lower cost to your formula because it is more effective at lower use levels. Always keep costs in mind when you are creating formulas for sale.

Ingredient quality & consistencyFor formulators using standard ingredients from known suppliers, it is not difficult to get raw materials that are high in quality and consistent from batch to batch. But if you are working with smaller suppliers, distributors, or with natural ingredients, it can be hard to get reliable ingredients. This is one of the reasons working with synthetic materials is better in terms of producing a consistent product. These type of ingredients are not dependent on the weather and growing conditions to have consistent products. When picking a raw material to work with, be sure to use ingredients that will be consistent from lot to lot.

Ease of manufacturingFinally, you’ll want to also consider how easy it will be to use an ingredient during manufacturing. Scooping a few grams of a powder and putting it in a beaker with a high speed mixer is a lot different than having to dump bags of a powder into thousands of gallons of water. There are just some ingredients that are easy to work with in the lab but extremely difficult to work with in production. And if your manufacturing people are focused on the speed of making a product, they don’t want to have to use ingredients that are difficult to use. When deciding on the types of ingredients you include, be sure to think about how easy it will be to scale up and manufacture large quantities of the product.

How much do I use?After picking the types of ingredients to use you’ll want to figure out how much of the ingredient you should use. There is no hard and fast rule but here are a few tips which will guide you in deciding what level to use.

Look for supplier’s recommendationThis is the most important tip. Whenever a raw material supplier markets an ingredient, they will list a range of use levels with a highest and lowest level suggested. Now, you can’t exactly rely on these levels to be accurate as the supplier has a vested interest in getting you to use a higher level of the ingredient than you necessarily need. However, as a starting place I find it’s good to just begin with the highest level suggested. You can always reduce the level after you’ve made a prototype and have started optimizing the formula.

Find example formulasYou can often get a better estimate of how much of an ingredient to use by looking at example formulas. If you are using a starting formula then you’ll know what level of most ingredients you should use. But if you are making a formula from scratch you can still look at example formulas to find out how much they use. You should not be trying to reinvent the wheel every time you make a new formula. Take advantage of existing information to help guide you in choosing a starting level.

Optimize the levelOf course, once you make your first prototype using a starting formula or a formula you created yourself, you’ll want to optimize the level of ingredients. You can do this by looking at the cost of the formula and lowering the levels of the most expensive ingredients. Or you can cut back on ingredients that have a high level. Generally, your formulation strategy should be to use enough of an ingredient to get the effect you want but no more. This will be good from both a cost and product safety standpoint.

Percent activity in formulatingIncidentally, when you are deciding on a starting level for a raw material it is important to understand the concept of percent activity. Most liquid raw material are not supplied as 100% ingredients but instead are water solutions (or other diluent). So, if you buy SLS it is usually sold as a 28% solution. You can find the activity of an ingredient by looking at the specification sheet. Usually, it is listed as % solids.

If you have a formula that calls for 30% SLS, the product doesn’t actually contain 30% SLS. It contains 30% of a 28% solution. By multiplying the % solids by the % required in the formula, you can find the % activity. Therefore, a formula calling for 30% SLS only contains 8.4% SLS.

When comparing the function of different ingredients, it’s important that you compare them on a percent actives basis. So, make sure you use the same active level of SLS if you are comparing it to Decyl Glucoside.

Formulating cosmetics takes a lot of practice and over time you will get a sense of what ingredients do, why they are added and how much to include. But it is a never ending process because every formula will be different. That’s what makes formulating products so fun!

BEST 8 BLOGS FOR RELIABLE COSMETIC INGREDIENT INFORMATION

There is a lot of misinformation out there about cosmetic ingredients. Science has its own language, which is difficult for most people to decipher. It’s therefore so easy to misunderstand the findings of a study, and spread, in good faith, scary but incorrect information about this or that chemical, creating panic and confusion. And then there’s the opposite problem: brands who exaggerate the effectiveness and safety of their fancy but underperforming ingredients to make a quick buck.

Luckily, there are also lots of dedicated bloggers who do their best to squash these dangerous rumours and set the record straight on how effective and safe the ingredients used in our cosmetic products really are. Here are my favourites:
