Cutting-Edge Ingredients 2009

Rebecca James Gadberry , CEO and Chairman of the Board , YG Laboratories

As scientists continue to explore the world for new, high-powered ingredient sources, and biochemists further their understanding of cell health and its impact on long life, skin care is benefiting from the merging of both. In this presentation, you’ll learn about a recently discovered domain of life that is not only offering visible skin benefits, it also holds much promise for geneticists, forensic scientists and others interested in its effects on DNA. You’ll discover how biologists are prolonging cell life to produce younger-acting skin, why mitochondria—the cell’s ultimate energy source—is under intense focus by biogerontologists, and how cosmetic chemists are now going beyond manufacturing organic cosmetics to enter the more promising area of green chemistry. Most importantly, you’ll find out how all of this affects you in your esthetic practice.
