I hope you had a great 2010 and are looking forward to another fulfilling year. As we look back on 2010, I wanted to thank the board members for doing an excellent job. Your timeless energy spent improving the overall good of our chapter did not go unnoticed. A special thank you to Julie Hidalgo, our chairperson, for guiding this excellent group of volunteers. Over the past year the chapter had very successful events. The ski trip, golf outing, fishing trip and family picnic all went off without a hitch. Thank you to all the committee members for organizing and running each event. As Julie mentioned in the last newsletter we were very fortunate as a chapter to host the 2010 National SCC mid-year meeting. Again, as with all of the chapter’s events, the evening was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to Paul Marotta and his team for putting together a great social gathering. And a very special thank you to all the suppliers and members for their contributions. We could not hold such wonderful events without you. As we endeavor upon this New Year together, the new board and I have a goal; this goal is to improve upon the attendance of our members at all chapter events. I also want to ask you, every chapter member, to help with this goal. Moving the LISCC into the future is a major aspect of every member’s duty. We ask for everyone to help with raising attendance at our monthly meetings, bringing your family to the picnic, or just introducing a new chemist to the organization. Bringing in new, energized members to the chapter will help the LISCC thrive for years to come. That being said, I hope to see everyone at our first meeting of the year on January 20th at the Colonial Springs Golf Course. Our speaker, Perry Romanowski, will be giving a great talk regarding skepticism within the cosmetic industry. Thank you for giving me the privilege to serve as the 2011 Chairperson. I am looking forward to another extraordinary LISCC year. Sincerely, Frank Friel 2011 Chairperson [3] REGULATORY UPDATES Regulatory Update The Cosmetic Ingredient Review, reacting to complaints related to formaldehyde in the Brazilian Blowout hair smoothing product, manufactured by Brazilian-headquartered Cadiveu, will be re-investigating the chemical. Health Canada and the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration claimed the hair smoothing solution contained levels of formaldehyde that were significantly higher than the 0.2 percent permitted in cosmetics when used as a preservative. In addition both administrations claimed they had received consumer reports of burning eyes, nose and throat and even hair loss associated with the use of the product. Cadiveu USA says there is confusion is over the presence of methylene glycol in the formula. Some of the pending legislation of cosmetics brought forward into 2011: Safe Cosmetics Act: The consumer group Campaign for Safe Cosmetics claims that the Safe Cosmetics Act will overhaul the law that allows chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, or other illnesses in the products we use on our bodies every day. Cosmetic companies would be required to provide significantly more information to the FDA than is currently required, including details of the ingredients, safety data assessments and full company and product details. The Bill also calls on the FDA to set up a database for cosmetic ingredients classing them into three categories: prohibited ingredients, restricted ingredients and ingredients that are safe without limits. PCPC questions both the science and the burden placed on the FDA by the proposed legislation. Some small manufacturers say that the additional burden will likely put them out of business. PCPC calls for tighter regulation: This past summer, the PCPC itself called upon the FDA to increase its involvement in cosmetics. In July, the Council proposed its own ideas of how cosmetics regulation could be improved with greater involvement from FDA, and urged Congress to consider these proposals as well as speed up the passage of the FDA Globalization Act of 2009, which also stands to enhance FDA regulations of cosmetics manufacturers. The trade association proposed that manufacturers report any serious, unexpected adverse effects experienced by consumers to the regulatory body, as well as altering the way the safety profiles of ingredients are investigated. The PCPC also suggested that manufacturers systematically submit product ingredient reports to FDA, with lists of all ingredients used in each product, as well as registering all manufacturing facilities. ISO 22716) during the manufacturing process, using preservatives, and conducting control tests using appropriate methods. According a European safety committee, The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, parabens are safe to use in cosmetics, although use levels for some of the compounds in the family should be reduced. In this most recent opinion, the SCCS has looked at data submitted on butyl- and propylparaben. In the report the committee states that human data was insufficient to fully characterise the effects of the substances on the hormonal system, and so instead it has opted for a ‘conservative’ estimate on the maximum use levels for the compounds. Although this is a positive opinion for methyl-, ethyl-, butyl- and The International Organization for propylparaben, the SCCS said there Standardization (ISO) has released an was not enough data to conclude on international standard that will assist safe use levels for isopropyl-, isobutylthe cosmetic industry in identifying and phenyl-parabens.

A number of product characteristics must be evaluated when performing a microbial risk assessment, such as product composition, production conditions, packaging and a combination of these factors. Cosmetics rated as low-risk products will not need to undergo further microbiological testing. Further, according to the organization, this standard will aid manufacturers and Team Up With Your Perfect Partner regulatory agencies when standard microbiological tests are not necessary.
