Cosmetic science advancements propelled to unprecedented reaches by IFSCC efforts
New and Improved:
Get a fresh whiff of progress in the cosmetic world as the IFSCC 2024 shines a spotlight yet again on the unstoppable advancement of cosmetic science. With the merged forces of commercial brands and ingredient providers powering towards a more scientific approach, the cosmetic sphere continues to thrive more effective and innovative products.
Science isn't about geniuses holed up in labs - it's about collaboration. Such collaborative spaces like the annual IFSCC Congress let the brightest minds in the cosmetic realm share groundbreaking innovations among each other. Often called the "Nobel Prize for cosmetic science," this congress, hosted by the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, steers the direction of what's next in cosmetic innovation for the years to come.
In 2024, the 34th IFSCC Congress takes place in Brazil between October 14-27, focusing on the theme, "Biodiversity in cosmetics: reaching sustainable technologies." So, let's get down to business and check out some of the hottest topics in the world of cosmetic science from the eyes of Provital, and the innovations they unveil at the Congress.
A Blend of Science and Entertainment: Cosmetic Breakthroughs at a Glance 🧑🎤🎬
The IFSCC Congress is all about international cooperation in cosmetic science and technology. With 50 Societies representing 80 countries, it holds a prestigious position in the cosmetic science world with a whopping membership of 16,000 experts committed to upholding high scientific and educational standards. Brands such as L'Oreal participate, contributing to the collective development of the cosmetic industry.
At Provital, we've been digging our roots deep in cosmetic science since our debut at the 17th IFSCC Congress in 1992. As staunch supporters of fueling our business practices with science and innovation, our dedication to networking in the cosmetic science community is essential for all R&D&I departments. For us, collaboration is key to scientific evolution, and we make it our mission to build bridges between peers while moving forward steadily.
Picture this: Brimming with cosmetic science knowledge, the 2024 event will feature 14 workshops on October 14th, followed by 3 days of Congress and trade shows, wrapping up with a networking dinner hosted by Provital on the first night.
Provital's Star Innovations for 2024
1. Shielding Hair from Oxidative Stress: Pine Tree Bark Extract to the Rescue!
Say goodbye to damaging treatments like bleaching, perms, colors, and pollution causing hair woes. We've got a new hero emerging - pine tree bark extract (PTBE)! This powerful protectant will safeguard your hair from oxidative stress, preventing damage to hair proteins, and bringing you one step closer to hair nirvana. No more texture variations, breakage, or vulnerability to humidity!
2. ShiloxomeTM: Your Skin's Anti-Pollution and Aging Ally
We've dusted off an old friend, the effective Kwoniella mangroviensis ferment extract (KMFE), to reveal its impressive in vivo well-aging efficacy. Through rigorous skin analysis and a multi-omics study, we're uncovering how KMFE revitalizes the skin, preserves its microbiome, and improves the lipid profile. Brace yourselves for a celebration of cutting-edge plant endophyte advancements!
3. Cellulite Be Gone: Alhassetm's Multi-omic Study
We've embarked on a thrilling research expedition to unearth the secrets behind apple flower extract and its miraculous ability to minimize cellulite. Our in-depth study of its impact on adipogenesis and lipolysis has us buzzing with excitement, ready to share our findings with fellow cosmetic scientists.

Past Contributions to the IFSCC Congress
Our dedicated contributions to the IFSCC gatherings trace back to 1992. Take 2020's poster display, titled "Sensolysis, a cutting-edge strategy for healthy skin aging activated by Althaea Rosea stem cells," which garnered top marks, qualifying as TOP10 at the Yokohama, Japan (31st IFSCC Congress).
Is your curiosity piqued? 🤩 Let's chat about our past contributions to the IFSCC Congress:
- If you're intrigued by healthy skin aging, lean into the fascinating world of cellular senescence. Here's our game-changing research from 2020 that targeted this groundbreaking field. We discovered a plant ingredient (Althaea Rosea stem cells extract) that showcased senolytic activity, or selective elimination of senescent cells, in human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) models, revolutionizing the cosmetic science landscape.
- In 2023, our unique focus on skin's circadian rhythms, Artificial Intelligence, and plant microbiome bore exciting results. Among our standout innovations were:
- AltheostemTM: Encouraging the elimination of skin senescent cells to combat advanced skin aging.
- CircanblueTM: Combating desynchronization in skin cells' biorhythms, bringing about rejuvenation with postbiotic ingredients.
- SealroseTM: Tackling hair fiber damage via a protective extract from marine macroalgae.
- The Future of Beauty: Plant Endophytes
Among the exciting advancements in natural cosmetic science, the exploitation of endophytes earned a special place. These symbiotic microorganisms, living inside plants and promoting beneficial effects, present a rich potential to produce bioactive phytochemicals. At Provital, we've successfully developed a platform for the isolation and biotechnological production of plant endophytes, contributing to sustainable, high-valued natural cosmetic ingredients while preserving the host plants.
