TRI Talks 2024 Series – Presentation 1 OF 4: Wednesday 23rd October, 1pm ET

ADVANCED VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPIC PLATFORM USES AT TRI TO SUPPORT COSMETIC SCIENCE: SPECIAL FOCUS ON SUNSCREEN EVALUATION


The TRI Talks 2024 season kicks-off next week with a presentation from Dr Samuel Gourion-Arsiquaud (Director, Skin and Bio-substrates, TRI Princeton) on ‘Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopic Platform uses at TRI to Support Cosmetic Science: Special Focus on Sunscreen Evaluation’.  TRI Talks take place to simulate scientific discourse and debate in the cosmetics and personal care category and are free to join.  The events allow all participants from around the world to openly share their views and to ask questions, on microphone and camera, if they so wish.  Register here for the whole 2024 series, to have access to the live events and to playback anything you miss.



Some more information about the first talk from Samuel:


Vibrational spectroscopy techniques are underestimated by cosmetic and biomedical companies. Indeed, these versatile techniques can be used at different levels from advanced research to marketing and claims substantiation, from ex-vivo experiments to clinical evaluations. Moreover, vibrational spectroscopy imaging is a relevant approach to investigate, compare and visualize the penetration of actives into the different skin layers with a myriad of applications for both cosmetics and biomedical sciences. In this presentation, I highlight the versatility of these techniques by describing different types of applications:


  1. Monitoring of the penetration of exogenous substances into the different skin layers as well as their impact on important skin parameters. 

  2. Evaluate the impact of environmental conditions (UV, Ozone exposure) on the skin.

  3. Evaluate efficacy of future sunscreen products: micro-encapsulation technology, use of film formers to improve the retention of organic UV filters on the skin surface. 

  4. Impact of the global warming on the sunscreen penetration.

  5. Generation of 3D face mapping to visualize sunscreen protection during clinical evaluation.

Participants in TRI Princeton, and around the globe via Zoom, gained valuable insights into cutting-edge skin measurement techniques, and cosmetic claims validation.  Expert-led sessions featured insightful presentations from industry leaders including Marcella Gabarra A. Leite, Paul Cornwell, Samuel Gourion-Arsiquaud (Ph.D.) (TRI Princeton), and Gary Groves (CyberDERM Inc., USA), Matthieu Jomier (QIMA Monasterium GmbH, France), Elodie Gras Lavigne (Neuron Experts, France), and Lori Cioerta (Biox Systems Ltd, UK). 



On Day 2 attendees witnessed live demos of:

  • Moisture testing using the Biox Systems EpsilonTM and AquaFlux AF200TM 

  • Clinical skin assessment with various Courage & Khazaka and Cortex instruments demonstrated by CyberDERM Inc., USA

  • Spectroscopic measurements using various FTIR instruments available at TRI Princeton

  • Skin imaging technologies QIMA Life Sciences instruments available at TRI Princeton

Register for Free to TRI Talks 2024

Updated: Oct 2

The TRI Talks 2024 Series opens its doors on Wednesday 23rd October, 1pm (ET) with a presentation from Dr Samuel Gourion-Arsiquaud, Director of Skin Bio- Substrates, TRI Princeton, titled ‘Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopic Platform Uses at TRI to Support Cosmetic Science: Special Focus on Sunscreen Evaluation’.  It is free to join all the talks on-line.  To register for the series (live-streamed and on play back) click here.



The TRI Talks in 2024 will focus on both skin and hair science. The presentations will run as follows:

  • Wed 23rd October, 1pm ET - Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopic Platform uses at TRI to Support Cosmetic Science: Special Focus on Sunscreen Evaluation, Dr Samuel Gourion-Arsiquaud (TRI Princeton)

  • Wed 6th November, 1pm ET.  An Update on Measuring Hair Motion, Dr Trefor Evans (TRI Princeton)

  • Wed 20th November, 1pm ET.  Unveiling the Skin: How Skin Microscopy Supports Product Innovation, Claims Testing, and Research, Dr Jessica Cardenas Turner (TRI Princeton)

  • Wed 4th December, 1pm ET.  Trading Textures with Flat Ironing: A Case of the Eroding Cortex with the Permanent Change in Curl Type, Ayinoluwa Abegunde (TRI Princeton)


As usual, people registered to attend on-line can participate actively in the Q&A at the end of each talk. Presentations will also be available to watch for 3 months after the event on the TRI Talks 2024 Attendee Hub website.  They will then be transferred to the TRI Library.
