How color cosmetics merge form with function
UC expert featured in Cosmetics & Toiletries article
The University of Cincinnati's Kelly Dobos was a featured expert in a Cosmetics & Toiletries article explaining trends and innovations in color cosmetics.
Dobos, a cosmetic chemist and adjunct instructor in UC's Cosmetic Science Program in the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy, said color cosmetics have undergone significant changes to meet consumer demands over the past few years.
"Brands are creating very innovative hybrid products," she said. "Many foundation products today now incorporate skin care benefits, but there’s a lot of room for innovation in eye and lip categories.
"Biotech continues to revolutionize the way cosmetic ingredients can be produced," Dobos continued. "Color additives for cosmetics are regulated in every region around the world and those regulations can vary considerably; and a big challenge for beauty has been finding a globally acceptable true red pigment that can be used in the eye area."
