Oriental scents prove popular in the Middle East and Africa Euromonitor statistics show the emerging popularity of oriental scents in home care fragrances. An analyst claims volume sales are tipped to increase by 30% between 2011 and 2016 in the Middle East and Africa. Middle Eastern and African home care fragrance manufacturers are mainly interested in dishwashing and hand wash detergents, which differentiates them from the global market. By 2016, the fragrance market in the Middle East and Africa is forecast to reach 6500 tonnes for dishwashing and 4900 tonnes for hand detergents, making it the second largest market after Asia Pacific. Oriental scents are also becoming popular in laundry detergents.

Testing of cosmetic ingredients on animals was banned in the European Union (EU) in Mar 2013. The ban covers all new cosmetics and their ingredients sold in the EU, regardless of where animal testing occurred. In vitro assays for sensitizers/allergens testing are being introduced by Cosmetics Europe, the European trade association for the cosmetic, toiletry and perfumery industry (formerly known as COLIPA) to replace animal tests in cosmetics. This is also applicable to chemicals, pharmaceuticals and household products. As preparation for the proposed elimination of animal tests following the 7th Amendment to the Cosmetics Directive, the EU is funding a range of studies for alternative, non-animal tests. EUfunded research project Sens-it-iv invited Proteome Sciences to become COLIPA’s partner in 2008. The project is dedicated to developing in vitro test strategies that would potentially decrease or replace testing of dermatological and respiratory allergens on animals. Through the Sens-it-iv programme, Proteome Sciences developed the SensiDerm assay, a mass spectrometry method used to measure the panels of protein changes caused by the cellular response to known skin and respiratory sensitizers using both keratinocytes and dendritic cells. Proteome Sciences’ proteomic biomarker platform, the SensiDerm multiplex assay, was used in the prequalification assessment held by COLIPA in 2011 and was selected by Cosmetics Europe in Apr 2013 in the first priority of tests. In 2013, the association has prioritized the further development, optimization and standardization of the selected tests. Aside from the skin sensitizer panel, more than 100 novel respiratory biomarkers have been discovered through the Sens-it-iv project which will be progressively converted into additional TMT-SRM assays throughout 2013.
US hygiene formulators can address triclosan concerns with Lonza’s benzethonium chloride products With scientific and regulatory reviews of triclosan use being conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lonza is positioned to supply two highly effective antimicrobials (Hyamine 1622 and Lonzagard Benzethonium Chloride USP) to formulators of hygiene products and hand soaps seeking alternative active ingredients. Registered for use by the EPA, Hyamine 1622 is a benzethonium chloride antimicrobial that is approved for formulations in a variety of industrial or household sanitizers and disinfectants. Lonzagard Benzethonium Chloride USP antimicrobials can be used as an active ingredient in numerous hygiene applications including non-alcohol hand sanitizers. It provides a short contact time against a large number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial organisms and is fully compatible with a wide variety of formulations as well as most types of cationic and nonionic systems. It has an excellent efficacy and safety profile as an antimicrobial ingredient. Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal agent used in a variety of consumer and industrial products, including household antibacterial soaps. The FDA has been conducting what it calls a ‘comprehensive scientific and regulatory review’ of the available data for triclosan. The EPA has reported that it is initiating its registration review process for triclosan in 2013, ten years ahead of the original schedule. Furthermore, the EPA and the FDA are collaborating to determine if any changes in the current regulations for triclosan are necessary.
