Edit or 's not e | C&T
Years ago, Ken Klein reviewed an ar ticle submitted to Cosmetics
& Toiletries (C&T) on a cosmetic active. His feedback went
something like cosmetics should be cosmetic, not active, otherwise
they are drugs.He added that making such claims would draw the
scrutinizing eye of regulators. Many agree with this view. In fact,
the March 2013 cover of C&T featured an art icle on gene-silencing
for potential skin benets, and this stirred negative reactions from
readers. I wonder how the present cover fares?
To Klein's latter point, he was right. Several cosmetic
manufacturers have been issued warnings by the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration for making drug-like claims. To his
rst point,however, some argue cosmetics have always had eects on the body.
In the April 2013 GCI, Steve Herman observed, Cosmetic science
used to resemble cooking. Now, it is looking like peer-reviewed
genetic research squeezed into a jar.He added, Some would say
that in reality, beauty products have always [altered genes] to a
certain extent.C&T takes no stand on what cosmetics should or
shouldn't be. We're here to provide you insight to envision what
they could be and this edition looks farther out than ever before
to research and technologies with real potential.
For one, topically impacting the human epigenome has been
all the buzz, and in this issue, Epstein introduces this concept and
its pathways into skin. In relation, Dayan and Halperin present a
hypothesis for a specic fatty acid bile acid conjugate to aect skin
via cellular membrane transporters.Also looking to t he future, Wang details how a avobenzene
compound attached to a cholesterol group has the potential for
sunscreens that can re-activate [Wang will present Reactivating
Sunscreens via Azobenzene Compoundsat the Cosmetics &
Toiletries Summit (Summit.CosmeticsandToiletries.com) in June].
Freis et al. demonstrate the evolution of skin parameters with
aging, and identify a correlation between measured mechanical and
optical properties. And Bresciani et al. propose a method to assess
the antimicrobial ecacy of preservatives in cosmetics beyond
their containers i.e., during use.
Squeezing all this research into a jar may seem the work of
science ction, but it's of science fact. Even cosmetic cosmetics are
packing advanced particle science and optics into their compacts.
As knowledge and science continue to converge, who knows how
far next-generation products will reach.

Sunscreen is the most potent anti-aging product on the market today.
Extreme multi-functionality is on the horizon; e.g., materials with anti-aging,
sunscreen, moisturizing and anti-free radical components in their structure, which
are slowly released to the skin, or that function continuously without being absorbed

The emerging economies are going through
a painful structural readjustment, and, asa result, the emerging middle class (a key
engine of growth for the beauty and personal
care industry over the last decade) is losing
some of its swagger.
In China, the combined pressures of a cool-
ing economy and more aggressive competition
from homespun and South Korean brands are
squeezing all the big multinationals. Tellingly,
newly released data from Euromonitor Inter-
national shows growth in China's beauty and
personal care market dropped below 9% last
year (at xed U.S. dollar values), its weakest
performance in two decades.Market conditions are tougher still in
Brazil and India. In both cases, middle-class
consumers have been trading down across a
raof beauty and personal care categories. e
negative tilt in market conditions in India has
taken the industry by surprise.
Pow er Shift DelayedAccording to the latest forecasts from
Euromonitor International, spending on beauty
and personal care in the emerging markets
will be higher than in the developed markets
by 2018. A year ago, this power shihad beenexpected to take place in 2016, but the choppier
economic waters have held things back. e
key point, however, is that emerging markets,
overall, still present a myriad of opportunities
for growth into the medium and long term,
despite the trickier operating conditions.
Turbulence in Emerging Markets
Rob Walker, Euromonitor International
n Growth in China's beauty and personal care marketdropped below 9% last year (at xed U.S. dollar values), itsweakest performance in two decades.
n In Brazil and India, middle-class consumers have beentrading down across beauty and personal care categories.
n Spending on beauty and personal care in emergingmarkets was expected to overtake spending in developedmarkets by 2016. Although this shift is expected to bedelayed until 2018, emerging markets, overall, still presenta myriad of oppor tunities for growth into the medium andlong term, despite the trickier operating conditions.

But Cosmetics Will Prevail
SavetoMyLibrary,aewWebtool.
ere were also some strong individual emerging market
performances last year. For example, sales of beauty and
personal care in Indonesia climbed 16%, fueled by a boomingmiddle class in secondary cities such as Balikpapan, Borneo.
Across the emerging markets, the big challenge is in adapting
a planning strategy to the changing climate, and in tailoring
products and marketing to the specic prole of consumers.

Croda has launched an ingredient designed
to smooth hair cuticles that have been
damaged or lied by bleaching or styling
processes. Crodabond CSA (INCI:
Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid
Copolymer) is a conditioning treatment
that helps repair the damage caused by
at-home or salon chemical treatments.
e cuticle-sealing performance of the
copolymer is long-lasting, and its eects
can be imparted over multiple shampoo
washes. Treatment with the products results in hair that is smooth,
conditioned and healthy-looking. In addition, the treatment
prevented future damage. e ingredient is recommended at
0.5-5.0% in hair care, daily conditioners, intense conditioning
treatments and shampoos.

Mibelle Biochemistry has sourced single-cell algae that grows on
glaciers at 0C to create its latest anti-aging active. Snow Algae
Powder (Pending INCI: Chlamydocapsa sp.-101 Extract (and)Maltodextrin (and) Lecithin (and) Water (aqua)) mimics the eects
of calorie restriction to improve the longevity of skin cells. e algae
adapt to their extreme habitat by changing pigment concentrations.
In addition, the production of secondary metabolites such as
biopolymers (gallerten), antifreeze glycoproteins, stress modiers and
osmotically active amino acids and sugars help these extremophile
algae to survive in their habitat. e company produces snow algae
powder sustainably in a tailor-made bioreactor.
At the cellular level, the active protects and activates two key factors
of the caloric restriction pathway the Klotho longevity gene and
the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) energy sensor, which together
lead to improved cellular defenses, oxidative stress resistance, cell
detoxication and repair. Results in the skin are the initiation of
collagen production, and rejuvenation of the dermal-epidermal
junction. Consequently, the skin barrier is reinforced while the skin
appears fresher and detoxied, and age spots become less visible. e
active is recommended at 2-3% in rejuvenating and repair formulas,
age-defense products, youth-protecting and promoting skin care, and
formulas to increase skin's longevity.

Evonik has created a naturally derived solubilizerfor the formulation of lipophilic ingredients, such
as emollients and natural oils, into clear cosmetic
products. In addition to its solubilizing ability, TEGO
Solve 61 (INCI: Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate (and)
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate (and) Polyglyceryl-4 Cocoate
(and) Polyglyceryl-6 Ricinoleate) has good skin feel and
imparts moisturizing benets. e solubilizer is made
from 100% renewable raw materials and complies with
Ecocert standards.
Being easy to handle and cold processable, the ingredient allows for
the preparation of mixtures with oils and water. For example, fatty oils
such as avocado, olive, jojoba, sunower and argan, as well as caprylic/
capric triglyceride, can be incorporated into clear formulations. e
product was found to outperform PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil in
solubilizing natural oils and in vivo, in a short-term moisturization test
using a corneometer, the solubilizer was found to act as a humectant
and provide moisturization from a body lotion. e solubilizer is
recommended at 0.510.0% in shampoos, body/hand/facial wash and
gel, makeup remover, emulsions and wet wipes.

Induchem has launched
a natural exfoliant in two
grades that are non-irritating
to sensitive skin and
biodegradable. Biogomm'age
UE (INCI: Cellulose (and)
Hydroxypropylcellulose
(and) Tocopheryl Acetate
(and) CI77007) and Biogomm'age WD (INCI: Cellulose (and)
Hydroxypropylcellulose (and) Panthenyl Triacetate) are produced
with the company's Safe-scrub technology, enabling particles to self-
disintegrate upon use, thereby preventing skin irritation and avoiding
the skin redness typically seen aer exfoliation. is technology was
found to have the same exfoliation eciency as conventional apricot
kernel fragments of the same size distribution.
Biogomm'age UE, with pro-vitamin B5, helps to regenerate skin, and
Biogomm'age WD, with vitamin E, maintains skin barrier function.Each grade contains pigments in addition to the active that are available
in three sizes: 200 m, 400 m and 900m.
e exfoliants are stable in any formula type, but are recommended
for: leave-on whitening creams, to remove pigmented cells; dandru
shampoos, without leaving residue on an oily scalp; facial cleansers;
exfoliating lotions for sensitive skin; leave-on anti-aging serums, to
stimulate epidermal renewal; scrubbing hand sanitizers; and more. e
exfoliants are also compliant with Chinese regulations.

here seem to be plenty of myths surrounding cosmetic products
and their ingredients. e rst of these is that a manufacturer would
deliberately use an ingredient that might lead to harm. Apart from
being illegal, it is not good for business to injure consumers, and successfulcompanies understand the needs of their consumers. is column will look
at some of the stories that are propagated online, and try to separate fact
from ction, as there is an element of both in all good myths.
Lead a nd Lipst ick e rst is that perennial favorite lead in lipstick. It has reappeared
several times in dierent guises, and has even been prompted by well-mean-
ing analysis of products by reputable agencies. Delving rst into the facts,
lead is harmful, but anything can be harmful if consumed excessively. ere
is no known biological use for lead in humans, so it is best avoided. But can
lead be avoided? Not completely, is the honest answer. Recognizing that lead
is harmful and not useful, lead has been removed from petrol (gasoline),
(most) paints, the solder used to seal cans for food, and household waterpipes. However, lead is present naturally in the environment, where it is
absorbed by plants from the soil, and is unavoidable in root vegetables.
Furthermore, because lead is ubiquitous, it is also found at trace levels in
some substances used to make products such as lipstick. It is not added
deliberately, but it cannot be completely avoided. e question is whether
the amount of lead in lipstick might be harmful to consumers, and the
answer is a clear no. In fact, Health Canada has said that people get more
lead from safe drinking water than the tiny traces present in lipstick.
is lead in lipstick myth is naturally related to two more myths that
women consume a given quantity (the exact amount varies with the
dierent stories) of lipstick in a lifetime, and that an individual can tell if
a lipstick contains lead by rubbing it on a gold ring. ink of how many
lipsticks a woman purchases per year, how much is leunused or discarded,and how much is leon tissues, drink ware and even the faces of friends
and family. One soon realizes that the estimated tubes of lipstick that a
woman consumes is, at best, an exaggerated guess.
As for the gold ring test, it is sheer nonsense. It takes the nest of
analytical chemists using the latest sophisticated equipment to measure t iny
traces of lead.

e cosmetic industry, however, should not be complacent. ere are,
unfortunately, some instances of illegal cosmetic products being discovered on
the market that are extremely high in lead, since in these cases, lead is one of the
main deliberate ingredients. e fact that such concoctions have been used in
some communities as traditional decorative products for generations does not
lessen the risk to those using them. ese are illegal cosmetics and should be
dealt with accordingly.
ParabensAnother myth surrounds the safety of parabens. ere have been reports that
these preservatives are linked to breast cancer through an ability to mimic thefemale hormone estrogen. Here, the facts are clear. Parabens are used as preser-
vatives to ensure that cosmetics remain wholesome and safe throughout their
use and do not have to be discarded quickly. Parabens are found in natu re; many
fruits contain parabens made by the plant itself to prevent the fruit from mold-
ing. Some parabens are able to mimic a portion of the properties of estrogen, but
not all of them. at mimicry is only seen under experimental conditions with
very high exposure or doses, and such conditions do not relate to everyday life.
Indeed, it is perfectly impossible for a human being to be exposed to sucient
parabens from cosmetic products to ever produce any disruption of the hormone
systemand even parabens found to mimic some properties of estrogen are
poor copies. Of course, many remember the study that claimed to have found
parabens in breast cancer tissues, but this study was poorly conducted and has
been strongly criticized by scientists. Parabens from an unidentied source hadcontaminated many of the samples, including the blank controls,which should
not have any parabens present.
Alum inum in Antipersp irantsMore recently, the cosmetic industry has seen concerns raised about the safety
of aluminum in antiperspirants. Aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth,
and is the third most abundant element. If it were particularly toxic, life itself
could not exist in its presence. In fact, aluminum has no known biological func-
tion in humans, and what humans absorb is readily removed via the kidneys.
It can cause harm when present in excess, which happens when kidneys
malfunction and when exposure is excessive with aluminum-based antacids or
during work in the aluminum industry. Any contribution from antiperspirant
use is small, particularly considering that aluminum compounds remain on thesurface of the skin to function by forming a gel to plug the sweat ducts. If the
aluminum was absorbed into the skin, the product would no longer work.
Conclusion ere are plenty more myths that have come and gone, but they all have
certain things in common: information is either exaggerated or not placed into
context, and incomplete information causes consumers to question where, in
fact, no problem exists. In all of these discussions, please remember that repu-
table cosmetics companies not only comply with strict legislation but want to
build a long-lasting relationship with their consumers, to have those consumers
stay loyal to the brand, and to make repeated purchases. is will not happen if
the company fails to provide satisfaction in terms of safety, ecacy and quality.

F
atty acid bile acid conjugates (FABACs) are a family of small synthetic
molecules that init ially were developed as oral drugs to reduce fat
build-up and accumulation in the liver. e structure-activity rationale
is that the saturated fatty acid acts as a cholesterol solubilizing agent while
the bile acid acts as a vehicle to enable secretion into bile and penetrate into
the enterohepatic circulation. e amide bond further enhances stability
against intestinal degradation.1In the skin, however, cholesterol metabolism
diers dramatically. Skin renewal is maintained by controlling the balance
between proliferation, dierentiation and apoptosis of epidermal cells,2
and it has been shown that this program of epidermal dierentiation in
keratinocytes is altered when cholesterol-enriched domains in the plasma
membrane are disrupted.
Leveraging the innovation of FABACs in health care, the authors
developed a specic FABACabased on a cholesterol-solubilizing moiety,
i.e., saturated fatty acid, and a bile acid (cholic acid) as the vehicle to enable
secretion into bile and entry into the enterohepatic circulation for potential
skin benets.3, 4 is compound was chosen for its relatively low molecular
weight and lipophilicity, allowing it to penetrate skin, aect cholesterol
on the cell membrane level and facilitate other mechanisms. Previous
proteomic data has proven the activities of FABACs5-7in enhancing
ATP-binding cassette (ABCA1) cholesterol transporter and competitively
inhibiting stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) enzyme. erefore, it was
hypothesized that the developed FABAC would aect skin in similar ways.
In this paper, the mechanisms of ABCA1 cholesterol transporter and
SCD1 enzyme in the skin are detailed rst, highlighting the structure-activ-
ity relationships (SARs) involved. Following this, in vitro screenings of the
FABACaactive are described; screenings determined the level that activity
was occurring. Interestingly, compiled results suggest activities comparable
to retinoic acid the only drug currently prescribed for skin aging and
known for anti-acne eects (see Page 46 for more on this ingredient).
However, retinoic acid acts through nuclear receptors, whereas the new
FABAC is believed to act on cellular membrane transporters and competi-
tively inhibit enzymes by depleting cholesterol from the membrane, thereby
changing membrane uidity and the exposure of membrane-anchored

receptors. is milder yet eective mode of action is
an attr active option due to its larger margin of safety.
Cho leste rol in Skin e skin is a site of active lipid synthesis. In the
stratum corneum, aliphatic lipids are synthesized
de novo in the epidermis via phospholipids, and
cholesterol is synthesized from acetate within hours
aer induction (see Figure 1); cholesterol esters are
produced three to seven days later. e skin's lipid
prole aects its ability to serve key functions, suchas acting as a barrier against insult and preventing
water loss from the body.
Cholesterol is the second most abundant lipid
in the stratum corneum aer ceramideswhich
account for up to 50% w/w of total intercellular lipids.
Cholesterol is known to promote the intermixing of
dierent lipid species and to regulate their thermody-
namic phase behavior. Cholesterol esters, i.e., the next
step in the synthesis chain, contain unsaturated and
saturated diacyl chains that contribute to the stratum
corneum's stability and uidity, and promote its liquid
condensed state. In these capacities, both cholesterol
and its esters serve a fundamental role in skin's lateral
lipid organization, and their ratio controls skin bar-
rier properties.8
Since skin stem cells undergo terminal dierentia-
tion, and skin acts in some aspects as a separate
entity,as several compartments in the skin are not in
equilibrium with the body's circulation, and, there-
fore, it fullls its own needs from the blood. Further,
the metabolic pathways of skin lipids are dierent
from the pathways in internal organs and blood;
consequently, there is no correlation between the
cholesterol levels in blood and skin.
e skin barr ier renewal process involves the
generation and secretion of lamellar bodies or
granules from keratinocytes into the extracellular
matr ix (ECM), which requires utilizing a battery
of enzymes.9 ese lamellar bodies contain lipid
precursors such as glucosylceramides, cholesterol,
glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelin, as wellas catabolic enzymes such as proteases, lipases, acid
phosphatase and glucosidases. Such lipid precursors
are metabolized in the ECM and fused end-to-
end, forming progressively elongated membrane
sheets the intercellular lipid lamellar structure of
the stratum corneum.
Under basal conditions, lamellar body secretion is
relatively slow and corresponds to the kinetics dem-
onstrated by Hedberg and Wertz.10However, when
acute insult to the barrier is applied, this process is
accelerated to promote a sequence of recovery that
is achieved aer 72 hr in young skin (i.e., 20s/30s).
is sequence includes increases in cholesterol, freefatty acids and ceramide synthesis, all of which are
restricted to the underlying epidermis at the injured
site and dependent upon a prior up-regulation of
mRNA encoding to synthesize anabolic enzymes.
Since the synthesis of each of these key lipids is
essential for maintaining normal barrier properties,
inhibiting their synthesis may lead to abnormalities
and an impaired barrier that is more permeable.
Cholester ol Regulat ion,ABC A1 and SCD1
Keratinocytes require abundant amounts of
cholesterol for maintaining a strong barrier and
controlling cutaneous permeability; hence, the
regulation of cholesterol homeostasis in the skin
is of great importance. ABCA1 plays a pivotal role
for cholesterol eux. It regulates cholesterol levels
by promoting the transport of cholesterol and

phospholipids across cell membranes. Jiang et al.11
demonstrated the expression of ABCA1 in human
keratinocytes and murine epidermis, conrming its
localization both in the outer epidermis, i.e., stra-
tum corneum and stratum granulosum, and lower
compartments including the stratum spinosum and
stratum basale. e activation of ABCA1 was shown
to lead to the activation of the retinoid X receptor in
keratinocytes and in macrophages.12
Jiang et al. also demonstrated that acute disrup-
tion of the barrier by tape-stripping or the applicationof acetone increases the synthesis of cholesterol and
suppresses the expression of ABCA1 transpor ter;
that way, cholesterol remains local and is available for
rapid barrier repair. Conversely, facilitating ABCA1
activity results in transport of cholesterol into the cell,
reducing the presence of cholesterol in the keratino-
cyte membrane and stratum corneum. is suggests
the ABCA1 transporter may be linked to keratinocyte
dierentiation.
In relation, studies13point toward a cascade
connection between stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1)
enzyme inhibition and ABCA1 activation in skin.
Mice decient in SCD1 demonstrated sebaceousgland atrophy, depletion of sebaceous lipids, dry
skin and alopecia. Interestingly, researchers suggest
that the deletion of SCD1 and resulting reduction
in sebaceous lipids may be of value in the treatment
of Acne vulgaris, which is associated with increased
sebaceous gland activity.
Cholester ol and Lipid RaftsA closer investigation of cholesterol points to its
indirect role in controlling cell cycles. It accomplishes
this via receptors and transporters at the cell mem-
brane, aecting the organization of protein-binding
functions, in turn changing the protein conformation
and interacting with nearby clusters. e plasma
membrane of cells is made up of a combination of
glycosphingolipids and protein receptors organized
in glycolipoprotein micro-domains referred to as
lipid ras (see Figure 2). ese specialized entities
compartmentalize cellular processes by organizing
the assembly of signaling molecules, inuencing
membrane uidity and tracking membrane pro-
teins. Lipid ras are more ordered and tightly packed
than the surrounding and relatively uid bilayer but
oat freely in the membrane bilayer. ey have beendescribed as small (10-200 nm), heterogeneous,
highly dynamic, sterol and lipid enriched domains.
Further, small ras can sometimes be stabilized to
form larger platforms through protein-protein and
protein-lipid interactions.14
One key dierence between lipid ras and the
plasma membrane from which they are derived is the
lipid composition. Research has shown15that lipid
ras generally contain three to ve times the amount
of cholesterol found in the surrounding bilayer.
Cholesterol interacts preferentially, although not
exclusively, with sphingolipids due to their structure
and the saturation of the hydrocarbon chains. Soalthough not all of the phospholipids within the ra
are fully saturated, the hydrophobic chains of the
lipids contained in the ras are more saturated and
tightly packed than the surrounding bilayer. Choles-
terol can be viewed as the dynamic glue that holds
the ratogether.
Due to the rigid nature of the sterol group,
cholesterol partitions into the lipid ras where the
acyl chains of lipids tend to be in a lessuid state.
One important property of membrane lipids is their
amphiphilic characterhaving a polar, hydrophilic
head group and a non-polar, hydrophobic region.
Cholesterol has the ability to pack in between the

lipids in ras, serving as a molecular spacer and lling
any voids between associated sphingolipids. e depletion
of cholesterol from lipid ras has been shown to change
their organization and aect keratinocyte dierentiation. It
was demonstrated, for example, that when lipid ras were
treated with low concentrations of methyl-beta cyclodex-
trin, which entrapped cholesterol and removed it from
the ra, a signicant decrease in keratin 1 and 10 early
dierentiation markers was observed.16
M ater ia ls and M ethodsBased on the biology and SARs, as stated previously, it
was hypothesized that the specied FABAC would enhance
ABCA1 cholesterol transporter and competitively inhibit
SCD1 enzyme. us, its eects were assessed in vitro via a
gene expression assay, described here.
Full thickness model: Gene expression was measured in
a full-thickness skin culture modelb. e FABACaingredi-
ent was applied to the surface of each test culture at a
concentration of 0.5% and collected 24 hr post-application.
Cultures treated with 10 mL 100% DMSO served as the
vehicle control group. Tissues were collected in an RNA
stabilization solutionc, and gene expression was analyzed
using validated assaysd. A set of 94 genes known for func-tions in the skin were evaluated, including ABCA1 and
SCD1 genes. Statistics were carried out using sowaree.
Results and Disc ussionOf the 94 selected genes used in the panel, only
twokeratin 1 and 10 (KRT 1 and 10)demonstrated
statistically signicant deviations in expression (see
Table1). ABCA1 and SCD1 mRNas were not altered
by the FABAC at the gene expression level as expected.
However, considering the SARs and previous proteomic5-7
data, these ndings, in fact, support the theory of eects
being conned to the protein level. Further, the FABAC
was speculated to be depleting cholesterol levels in lipidras. As noted, the depletion of cholesterol from lipid ras
was shown to change their organization and signicantly
decrease keratins 1 and 10; here, KRT 1 and 10 were
reduced. To elucidate the receptors being aected further,
additional studies are planned.

Ke ra tins 1 and 10To further understand the eects of the speci-
ed FABAC, consider the role of keratinocytes.17
Keratins are heteropolymeric structural proteins
that form the intermediatelament. ese laments,
along with actin microlaments and microtubules,
compose the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. e
intermediatelaments are assembled from keratin
monomers, and the cornied envelope is assembled
from a protein called involucrin, as well as others.Involucrin is synthesized in the stratum spinosum,
where it is cross-linked by transglutaminase enzyme,
which further stabilizes it. us, involucrin provides
structural support to the cell and allows for resistance
to microorganisms. Involucrin also binds to loricrin,
another protein, and contributes to the formation of
the cornied envelope.
Keratins 1 and 10 are heterodimers and major
constituents of the intermediate lament cytoskel-
eton in the superbasal epidermis. Both keratins
are expressed in the spinous and granular layers
of the epidermis. Type II cytokeratins consist of
basic or neutral proteins that are arranged in pairsof heterotypic keratin chains co-expressed during
the dierentiation of simple and stratied epithelial
tissues. e down-regulation of keratins 1 and 10 has
been associated with the up-regulation of involu-
crin, and both have been shown to be triggered by
exposure to retinoic acid.18
e up-regulation of involucrin production, as
a result of the down-regulation of keratins 1 and
10, can therefore be explained as a compensation
mechanism that allows the epidermis to maintain
its integrity in spite of the attenuated dierentiation.
Table 2 cross-sections the normal human skin, out-
lining its layers, corresponding cell types, expressed
keratins and other markers. It should be noted that
the expression of keratins 1 and 10 is linked to the
expression of involucrin and conned to the epider-
mal spinous layer in which critical biochemical
paths that determine the integrity of the barrier and
its appearance are found.
Following the expression of keratins 1 and 10,
pro-laggrin, an important marker, is expressed and
leads to the generation of laggrin, a cationic protein
specic to the stratum corneum. Taken together,
in theory, the FABAC's attenuation of keratinocyte
dierentiation and depletion of cholesterol from lipid
ras could lead to a compensation mechanism that
results in accelerated proliferation and barr ier rejuve-
nation, potentially renewing the skin and aecting its
appearance. Additional studies are under way.
Retinoic Ac id, andKe ra tins 1 and 10
Retinoic acid is the active form of vitamin A. e
four most common indications for retinoids are:
acne, wrinkles, photo-damaged skin and inheritable
keratiopathieshowever, the potential for terato-
genic eects from the use of retinoids in women
of children-bearing age is a key consideration.19In
addition, it is well-established that a common adverse
eect from retinoid treatments is skin irr itation,
although the exact mechanism is not fully elucidated.
e general hypothesis is that retinoids normalize
keratinocyte dierentiation; other possible mecha-
nisms include the down-regulation of desmosomal
proteins, anti-proliferative eects, regulating lipid
synthesis, growth factors and cytokines.
Unlike the theoretical mechanism of the new
FABACa, retinoids exert their eects entirely through
nuclear receptors. ere are at least six retinoic acid
receptors belonging to two families: retinoic acid
receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs).
Nuclear receptors expressed in keratinocytes include
these two families of receptors, vitamin D3 receptor
and thyroid hormone receptor. All of these can aect
keratinocyte dierentiation. For example, the RAR
gamma receptor for retinoic acid plays an important
role in the morphogenesis and dierentiation of
squamous epithelia.
Retinoic acid has been shown to inhibit the
activity of keratinocyte transglutaminase and the
formation of the cornied envelope. Similar to the

FABACa, both keratins 1 and 10 were shown to be
down-regulated in skin treated with retinoic acid
in vitro and in vivo.20Interestingly, however, not all
dierentiation markers are regulated by retinoic acid;
involucrin, for example, is unaected when cultured
keratinocytes are treated by retinoic acid (see Page 46
for further discussion).
SCD1 and Anti-ac ne Poten tialAs noted previously, studies11point to a connec-
tion between SCD1 enzyme inhibition and ABCA1activation in skin; the deletion of SCD1 reduces
secretion of sebaceous lipids, which may be of value
in the treatment of acne. In relation, the indirect
inhibition of SCD1 activity by FABACs does not
appear to aect barrier integrity, unlike retinoic
acid. is is believed to be a result of the compensa-
tion mechanism. While inhibition of SCD1 leads
to an increase in ABCA1 transporter activity and
the depletion of barrier cholesterol levels in kerati-
nocytes, a compensatory enhanced production of
cholesterol and ceramides may lead to a replenished
barrier. is restored barr ier is especially necessary in
the case of reduced sebum secretion, which acts as aprotecting layer.
ere are numerous factors for the initiation and
progression of acne, and its severity can be related
to the interplay between these factors. Table 3 and
Figure3 summarize the physiological conditions
leading to acne and the anticipated activity of the
specied FABACabased on its structure, SARs with
similar FABACs, and data generated from the gene
expression study.
Practical Ap plica t ions e presented active has potential for anti-aging
and anti-acne applications, and the next steps are to
study its behavior in topical formulations and acquire
safety assessment data relevant to the skin. When
considering a compound for potential biological
activity, rst-tier studies should seek to understand
its mode of action (i.e., pharmacodynamics) and
site of action i.e., the skin sub-t issue and cellular,
receptor and enzyme levels. Based on this screening,
a hypothesis is drawn, which is the stage at which
the present authors have arrived and at which this
paper was written. Perhaps the most interesting
aspect is that FABACs impart biological activity
manifestations similar to those of a known drug butby aecting dierent cellular entities.

Summary
Here, the authors present the potential activity ofa selected FABAC on skin. Initial in vitro screenings
are presented, leading to a hypothetical suggested
activity of the active. Based on screenings, SARs and
the ingredient's proposed mechanism of action, a
hypothesis for its activity as an anti-aging and anti-
acne active is drawn.
Interestingly, its suggested mechanism can be
compared to that of retinoic acid, but while retinoic
acid acts via the activation of nuclear receptors, the
FABAC is thought to act on a cellular membrane
transporter level and through competitive enzyme
inhibition. Lastly, this apparent ly milder yet eec-
tive mode of action could translate to larger safetymargins; when tested for cytotoxicity on a full thick-
ness model, the FABAC demonstrated no signicant
changes in cellular viability up to levels of 2%.

F
ragrances have become ubiquitous in skin and hair care products
to appeal to the consumer's senses. However, fragrances have been
associated with allergic contact dermatitis in applications including:
unspecied leave-on products, sun tan lotion,1deodorants,2scented lotion,
unspecied rinse-oproducts, ne fragrances, shampoo, liquid soap, aer-
shave, lipstick, sunscreen, hair styling products, shaving foam, mascara, hair
dye, eye shadow and makeup cream. An example of typical allergic contact
dermatitis of the axilla due to a deodorant fragrance is shown in Figure 1.
While some dermatologists recommend avoiding all fragrances yielding
positive patch test results, as shown in Figure2, it has become increasingly
dicult to avoid all fragrances and in the end, may be unnecessary for the
patch test positive patient.
To identify dermatitis caused by fragrance, a patch test3for common
aromatic allergens was designed in which two fragrance mixes using
putative common allergens served as screens. Fragrance Mix#1 (FM1) was
developed from the fragrances used in an antifungal cream that had caused
an allergic contact dermatitis epidemic.4It comprised: Evernia prunastri
(oak moss), isoeugenol, cinnamyl alcohol, eugenol, cinnamal, geraniol,
-amylcinnamal and hydroxycitronellal. Fragrance Mix #2 (FM2), a later
attempt5to identify fragrance allergens, consisted of hydroxyisohexyl
3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC), farnesol, citral, hexyl cinnamal,
citronellol and coumarin. ese materials are considered EU fragrance aller-
gens; Table 1 on Page 36 lists them with their FM designations, along with
additional EU fragrance allergens. ese mixes have been used in fragrance
allergy testing reported in the literature, which are reviewed here.
Prelim inary Questionnaire e diagnosis of a fragrance contact allergy always starts with a detailed
medical history. Schollhammer et al. developed a questionnaire to deter-
mine if consumers had a certain, probable or possibleallergy to fragrances
based on their recollection of adverse reactions to perfumes or perfumed
products.6In this questionnaire, the certainallergy included an itching
dermatitis reaction to at least one ne perfume or aershave, and reactions
to other perfumed products. e probableallergy involved reacting to
one or more perfumed products (e.g., deodorant) but no specic perfume

being identied as causing the clinical reaction. e
possibleallergy meant reacting to various cosmetic
products with and without perfume, where materials
other than fragrance constituted the possible cause
of the reaction. Finally, those identied without a
fragrance allergy had never reacted to a perfumed
material.
is questionnaire allows the dermatologist to
determine which patients have the highest probability
of fragrance contact allergy before patch testing. With
the proper clinical history, patients then proceedto the patch testing of FM1 and FM2, to dene the
possible role of fragrance in the dermatitis.
Patch TestingPatch testing is used by dermatologists to
determine if a chemical is causing an individual's
allergic inammatory reaction on the skin. Usually, a
sampling of diluted potential allergens is arranged in
a grid pattern on an individual's back. Since this test
is for a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, or delayed
type of hypersensitivity, the skin must be checked
two and four days later to assess for reaction, which iscontained to the area of application.
Testing with FM1 is a common practice when
dermatitis is suspected to be from fragrance. Nardelli
et al.3showed that 9.6% of patients investigated
for fragrance contact allergy reacted positively to
FM1, and 6% to FM2. Of those with suspected
fragrance induced dermatitis, sensitivity for FM1 has
been shown to be 27.2%, and 8.721.5% for FM2.7
Additional patch testing for FM2 helps to minimize
fragrance-induced clinical dermatitis false nega-
tives, with an estimated additional 6% of patients
identied.3
Additionally, Larsen et al. report false negativesto be 33%, suggesting neither FM1 or FM2 alone
are sucient screening tools.8Schnuch noted that
46% of patients react negatively when tested for the
individual constituents of FM1 but positively to the
mixture.9 is may be due to false positive reactions

reactions to individual constituents, or the existence
of a compound allergy.6
To increase sensitivity, Hesiterberg et al. recom-
mend using four screening markers: FM1, FM2,
M. pereirae (balsam of Peru) and HICC. Further, in
addition to the 14 fragrance allergens used in FM1
and FM2 for patch testing, they recommend testing
for 12 fragrance constituents, including: butylphe-
nyl methylpropional, Evernia furfuracea, linalool,
benzyl salicylate, benzyl alcohol, anise alcohol,
benzyl cinnamate, amylcinnamyl alcohol, limonene,alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl benzoate and methyl
2-octynoate.1Recently, additional allergens have
been commercialized, including hydroperoxides of
linalool, hydroperoxides of limonene and perfume
mix (Mx-08).10
Fragranc e Concentrat ionConsideration of fragrance concentration and its
impact on dermatitis adds another layer of complex-
ity when managing fragrance-allergic consumers.
e International Fragrance Research Association
(IFRA) publishes safe guidelines on fragrance use.
Based on research, the IFRA Code of Practice
includes 186 standards that either restrict or prohibit
the use of selected fragrance materials for all types
of applications. Producers of fragranced cosmetics
and household products are expected to comply with
IFRA standards.11
In addition to regulating specic fragrance
compounds, IFRA sets acceptable fragrance exposure
levels. Allowable concentrations are determined by
the quantitative risk assessment of factors such as
volume of use, dermal exposure, and structural alerts
for dermal sensitization. Broad categories organize
products by exposure level, including: Category 1
for lip products, toys and waxes for mechanical hairremoval; Category 2 for deodorants, antiperspirants
