Letter From The Chair?
Hi Everyone,
I am excited about the upcoming year! Last year was a great year for the Long Island SCC. A special thank you goes out to the committee chairs
and committee members for all of the hard work planning and executing such great events throughout the year.
I would also like to thank the outgoing board for the outstanding job they did for our chapter in 2016. If you see Chris Burger (Chair), Brandon
Nazario (Secretary) and Sunni Thaxton (Treasurer), make sure to thank them for their work.
The incoming board, which includes Brandon Nazario (Chair-Elect), Christina Romano (Treasurer), Megan Tzakas (Secretary) and Glen Muoio
(Treasurer-Elect), are looking forward to a great 2016. Please be on the look out for the following events in 2016:
-
Ski Trip
-
Fishing Trip
-
Picnic
-
Golf Outing
-
Wine Tour
-
Educational Seminar
In addition to the LISCC events, please note that this year the IFSCC will be back in the US. The event will take place from October 30th – November
1st at the gorgeous Dolphin Resort in Disney World. The IFSCC is rarely the United States, so you should take the opportunity to attend and
network with colleagues from around the world. And who wouldn’t want to go hang out in Florida for a few days?
Our first meeting of 2016 will take place on January 21st at the Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore. Our speaker will be Kristen Presti from
BASF. Kristen will be discussing Skin Health and Microbiome. With a surge in prebiotic and probiotic skin care products in the last few years, this
is a very timely topic for our chapter. Please come out for the talk and stay for a beer!
Happy New Year!!!

Canadian legislation to prohibit animal
testing of cosmetics is moving closer
to becoming law. Senate Bill S-214 not
only prohibits animal based testing but
also will not allow evidence derived
from animal testing to establish the
safety of a cosmetic. The bill had its
second reading December 10th. Turkey
is the most recent country to ban
animal testing, joining the EU, Norway,
India, Israel and New Zealand and the
Brazilian State of São Paulo. Legislation is being considered in the US,
South Korea, Russia, and Taiwan.
The US Senate passed the Toxic
Substances Control Act reform bill,
S697, which now must be reconciled
with the House version. The big impact
portion of the new law would be to
“reset” the TSCA Inventory to determine which chemicals will be dropped,
and therefore banned by omission,
from the inventory. Reinstatement
could then only be accomplished by
starting completely over as if the
chemical is new in the US.
Due to a delay attributed to “unforeseen circumstances”, Vermont’s Dept.
of Health will not be in a position to
accept reports January 1 as required
under its new chemical disclosure
program for children’s products. A new
reporting deadline of July 1, 2016, has
been set but even that date is said to
be ‘soft’.
Canada has issued a mandatory notice to
be completed by companies who sold
products in Canada containing
nanomaterials in 2014. The deadline for
reporting to Environment Canada is Feb
23, 2016. For help, see: Guidance
document for completing the CEPA
section 71 Notice with respect to certain
nanomaterials in Canadian commerce.
Oral care products could legally
become cosmetics in China under
proposed rule changes which would
make them subject to the stricter
regulations of the Chinese FDA. For
instance, toothpastes would have to
list all of their ingredients.
A bill that would prohibit plastic
microbeads beginning on January 1,
2018 has passed the House of Representatives by voice vote. According to
the bill, "the term ‘plastic microbead’
means any solid plastic particle that is
less than five millimeters in size and is
intended to be used to exfoliate or
cleanse the human body or any part
thereof;" and “(B) the term ‘rinse-off
cosmetic’ includes toothpaste." Nine
states have already passed legislation
to ban microbeads. Several other
jurisdictions, including New York, are
considering similar bans. The Senate
has yet to vote on the matter.
In an effort both to regulate and, in
some cases, simply make them aware
that there are regulations, the FDA has
created a webpage for small and
homemade, ‘homegrown’ cosmetic
companies. Titled “Small Business &
Homemade Cosmetics: Fact Sheet”,
the site answers 15 FAQ’s.
A new proposed bill that modernizes the FDA oversight of cosmetics is
circulating in the House of Representatives. Among other provisions, H.R.
4075: Establishes what ingredient
and nonfunctional constituent categories are “deemed to be adequately
sub-stantiated for safe use in
cosmetics subject to the requirements
of good manufacturing practice.”
The proposed bill would require that
a manufacturer, packer, or distributor,
foreign or domestic, whose name
appears on a cosmetic label to submit
15-day adverse event reports.
Manufacturers of cosmetics sold in
the US would have to submit to the
FDA a “cosmetic and ingredient
statement” for each cosmetic manufactured in the establishment (except
for cosmetics manufactured by
establishments exempt from registration) within 60 business days after
the first commercial sale of the
cosmetic. FDA would be required to
use the statement information to
compile and maintain an up-to-date
and publicly available electronic list of
cosmetics and ingredients. The
proposed bill can be seen at
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114thcongress/house-bill/4075/text. This
new bill comes after comments from
ICMAD indicating its lack of support for
the Cosmetics and Personal Care
Products Safety Act, introduced in
April, saying that that particular bill placed
too large a burden on small business and
restrained innovation without providing
the needed national uniformity.
France has submitted an intention to
propose a harmonised classification
for titanium dioxide as a category IB
carcinogen. Under REACH, a
category 1B carcinogen is a canidate
for nomination as a substance of very
high concern (SVHC). Such a classification would be restricted in consumer
applications. The substance evaluation
is now due to start in 2016. France will
be the evaluating member state.
FDA has issued “Guidance for Industry:
Voluntary Labeling Indicating Whether
Foods Have or Have Not Been Derived
from Genetically Engineered Plants”.
FDA prefers genetically engineered, GE,
instead of GMO, but finds no valid scientific data to show that GE foods differ in
any meaningfull way from non-GE foods.
While this guidance is directed solely at
foods, the distinctions in meaning discussed would likely be extended, or serve as
models for other product categories,
including cosmetics, in the future. The
guidance is available at:
http://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregul
ation/guidancedocumentsregulatoryinf
ormation/ucm059098.htm At almost
the same time, FDA has established a
new docket to obtain information and
comments from the public about the use
of “natural” in food labeling. Specifically,
FDA asks: Whether it is appropriate to
define the term “natural.” If so, how the
agency should define “natural,” and
How the agency should determine
appropriate use of the term on food
labels. Should certain production
practices used in agriculture, e.g., genetic
engineering, mutagenesis, hybridization,
the use of pesticides, or animal
husbandry practices, be a factor in
defining “natural”. Type(s) of
ingredients that would disqualify a food
from bearing the term “natural.
Consumer association between
“natural” with “healthy”. Again, if these
definitions are developed for food
products, it’s almost certain they would be
proposed to be adopted almost verbatim
for cosmetics. To electronically submit
comments to the docket, visit

You say you like salami, do you?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer, a part of the World Health Organization, has classified processed meat
as a human carcinogen and red meat as a probable human carcinogen. The agency’s conclusion is based on some 800
studies, conducted over 20 years, which investigated associations of cancer types with red and processed meat
consumption. The U.S. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association immediately criticized the classification, pointing to other
studies that contradict the determination.

A recent paper describes how researchers were able to develop a synthetic skin that can, among other attributes,
discriminate various surface textures. Can the use of such a skin in an instrument to provide a objective evaluation of the
effect on skin smoothness, etcetera, of cosmetic products—complete with measurable, quantifiable results—be far behind?

What did you say you have a treatment for, Sonny?
Montelukast, a drug that prevents airway inflammation and constriction in asthmatics, can improve learning and memory in
old rats, according to a study. The findings suggest that the drug, or related ones, could serve as therapies that restore
cognitive function in people when it’s lost through aging or neurodegenerative diseases. Compared with old rats not
receiving the drug, aged rodents treated with montelukast performed better in standard tests of learning and memory. The
performance of the treated old rats was on par with that of the young ones. In the old rats’ brains, the drug also reduced
signatures of inflammation and increased the generation of new neurons in structures associated with memory. J. Marschallinger,
et.al. “Structural and functional rejuvenation of the aged brain by an approved anti-asthmatic drug” in Nature Communications 6, Article#8466, Oct. 27, 2015, DOI: 10.1038/ncomms9466

Nanotechnology helps put acne on the run.
A group of seventeen researchers from nine institutions across the USA have collaborated to show how nitric oxide
generated from slow-release nanotechnology particles is broadly effective against acne. The slow-release aspect is critically
important to efficacy since under normal circumstances, nitric oxide, a theoretically very potent acne fighter, becomes
inactive almost as soon as the body produces it. The study’s data suggests that nanoparticular nitric oxide can effectively
prevent P. acnes induced inflammation by both eliminating the organism and inhibiting the body’s normal immune response.
According Adam Friedman, co-author, "…we provide an effective way to kill the bacterium that serves as a stimulus for
acne without using an antibiotic, and demonstrate the means by which nitric oxide inhibits newly recognized pathways
central to the formation of a pimple, present in the skin even before you can see the acne.”
