Enhance the understanding of the chemical composition and the structure of tissues such as hair, skin, nails, better characterize the products themselves (shampooes, creams, their long-term stability) or as well as understand the interaction of these products with the tissues and their efficiency or safety : numerous applications are currently possible with the synchrotron techniques available at SOLEIL and open to the companies from the cosmetic sector.
Main applications of the sector
► Monitoring the penetration of molecule of interest without marking
► Monitoring modification of tissue constituants (collagen, elastin, protein, phospholipid…) by actif ingredients
► Optimize the formulation ou packaging of your products :characterization of emulsions, powders, gelss, packaging under contraints (UV, water, chemical products, temperature…)
Beamlines and laboratories of SOLEIL already involved in the studies in connection with this sector
SMIS, DISCO, SWING, CRISTAL, ANTARES, AILES, LUCIA, PSICHE and the optic laboratory.
Advantages of synchrotron light for the cosmetic sector
► wide range and high energy selectivity (from Infrared to hard X rays)
► extreme brillancy : sensibility (signal to noise ratio), high speed data acquisitions (repeatability, kinetics)
► Complementarity of the techniques: spectroscopies IR, UV, X, 2D and 3D micro and nano-imagings, SAXS, DRX…
► non-destructive analysis: measurement of the intrinsic signal of the components (without markers and contrast agents)
► Technique of fluorescence in far-UV only accessible with synchrotron sources
► Multi-modal and scalable (from molecules to tissues) of complex bulk.
► 29 experimental stations and experts to provide you the best service and expertise for your projects.
