What is the Most Important Factor in Your Product Choice?
 
It’s All Becoming Crystal Clear!

As you know, some cosmetic ingredients cross over into the food arena.  And food ingredients can find a new home in cosmetics. That’s exactly the situation with BioCrystals. These colorful freeze-dried crystals originated in the food sector but are right at home in a spa exfoliating scrub or a luscious lip gloss.

BioCrystals can be used in any anhydrous formula where maintaining particle size is important such as face and body exfoliators. They work especially well in lip products. They can also be used in water soluble preparations for color enhancement and a pleasing scent.

It all starts with a delicious variety of fresh fruits. Using a special patented process, the fruits are vacuum freeze dried. The resulting crystals maintain the natural taste of the original ingredients with little effect on the color, flavor and nutrients.

Even the names sound good enough to eat (because they are!). Strawberry, apple, dark sweet cherry, black currant, cherry, lemon, raspberry and mango are just for starters. For more information and a detailed brochure, contact your BioOrganic Concepts representative.

Very tempting indeed!

 
The Name Game

What’s in a name? Evidently, it’s a new name!

The CTFA officially changed its name to The Personal Care Product Council last November. This change was made to a “new, broader and more contemporary name…to reflects its increasingly diverse membership.” A new website, www.cosmeticsinfo.org, was launched at the same time. Check it out – it’s an in-depth on line resource for consumers with info about ingredient safety and the science behind many personal care products. The new site has info on more than 1500 ingredients and links to other authoritative bodies.

Goldshmidt is Degussa is Evonik. The German industrial giant with holdings in chemicals, energy and real estate is now operating under the name “Evonik Industries.”  This announcement, made in September 2007, brings together these entities under a new brand name as the company gets ready to enter the capital market in the first half of 2008. Evonik is represented on the West Coast by Ross Organic Specialties, headquartered in Santa Fe Springs, CA.

Introducing Lustre

Moisture retention and balance is enhanced through the use of hydrolyzed vegetable protein, creating a protective film for skin and hair

It's Only Natural

BioOrganic Concepts® was founded by William C. Ross in 1997 with a simple, yet noteworthy vision - become an important source of new and interesting raw materials based on a natural theme. Recognizing the importance of formulating chemists, its goal is to offer highly efficacious ingredients based in nature and rare botanicals to broaden their repertoire.

 

Every Ingredient Tells a Story

The diverse and exotic nature of the extensive BioOrganic Concepts® product catalog is no accident. Each ingredient serves a particular function with a rich history of use in diverse health and beauty products. The product list features extraordinary ingredients sourced from far-away places, some familiar, some not. This company was one of the first in the United States to introduce new and unusual natural ingredients to the personal care industry. That tradition continues today.

And the Winner is... 

Congratulations to Ronnie Meltzer, R&D Chemist at Del Laboratories, the lucky person chosen in the BOC raffle at the recent NYSCC Suppliers’ Day Raffle in New Jersey. Her card was picked at random from the over 200 tossed in the ubiquitous fishbowl. Her prize is a year’s supply of specialty fresh fruits from Harry & David®, the fruit connoisseurs extraordinaire. Each and every month, she’ll be pleased that she 1) had a card to drop in the bowl 2) took the time to do it and 3) likes free things. Enjoy!

Cutting It Paper Thin

Are you receiving less paperwork and enjoying it more? That’s the plan here at BioOrganic Concepts. In keeping with a company-wide effort to reduce overall paper use, we’ve adopted a new procedure. It turned out to be simple – send all requested literature electronically, cutting down the pile of documents that often crowd your desk. Of course, a MSDS will still be sent with each sample as required by law and hard copies of all literature is available upon request. Just contact our Sample Services at 562-236-5724. 

We've Moved to a New Office!

We are pleased to announce that BioOrganic Concepts has found a new home!  We’re moving our Signal Hill office and Sylmar warehouse to one location in Santa Fe Springs, CA. With this change, the company combines the sales and marketing, technical service, customer service, and warehousing operations under one roof.  This centralized location gives us increased efficiency and room to grow. 

We’re extremely excited about this move, and we’ve worked diligently to search out the appropriate space for our needs.  With all of us under one roof, we will be able to streamline many of our processes and ultimately provide better service to our customers. Although we’re trying to make sure that any interruption in service is minimal, we ask that you understand the huge undertaking this is and will plan accordingly for your service needs during this transitional period. 

We appreciate the loyalty and support of all of our customers and associates, and we look forward to continuing to meet your specialty raw material needs!

Sincerely,

William C. Ross
Founder/CEO

Oldies But Goodies

Check out the January 2008 issue of HAPPI for some good reference info on the Egyptians and their approach to beauty products. This article, “The Afterlife of Natural, Ancient Egyptian Cosmetics,” by Mona Shaath and Nadim Shaath, Ph.D., digs deep into the ingredients available at that time and their cosmetic uses in the ancient world of Cleopatra and her contemporaries. With the consumers demand for more natural products, what could be more natural than the materials used thousands of years ago before the advent of man-made chemicals?  As the authors point out, what was old is new again.
