37.What is natural?

What is natural?
People use the green products are the trend in the world. It includes cosmetics and skin care products as well. The green cosmetics and skin care products can be divided into natural and organic. The more detail express as the following. The references are from the third party organization and association. 
The organizations are like ECOCERT, BDIH, COSMEBIO, ICEA, Soil association, CCOF, JAS, OFC, ACO, and NASAA.

What is NATURAL?
A natural is any material that is harvested, mined, or collected, and which may have
subsequently been washed, decolorized, distilled, fractionated, ground, milled,
separated, or concentrated, leaving a chemical or chemicals that would be available
and detectable in the original source material. It is also the modification of natural
material by the action of microorganisms, enzymes, or yeasts to modify or increase
the yield of material by this process. Naturally derived materials are defined by
the use of a natural raw material as the starting point in a chemical process that
produces a new chemical or chemicals that in themselves may not be available in
nature or in the starting material. Nature-identical materials are substances that
have been synthetically produced, not usually from a natural starting material, in
order to produce a material that is identical to that naturally occurring in nature.



The definition of natural and organic cosmetics by ECOCERT
l   natural and organic cosmetic
A minimum of 95% of all plant-based ingredients in the formula and a minimum of 10% of all ingredients by weight must come from organic farming.
l    natural cosmetic
A minimum of 50% of all plant-based ingredients in the formula and a minimum of 5% of all ingredients by weight must come from organic farming.

71.UVA and UVB Sun protection factor

UVA andUVB Sun protection factor SPF is Sun Protection Factor. The number is determined experimentally indoors by exposing human subjects to a light spectrum meant to mimic noontime sun.   The SPF number only relates to UVB protection.  UVA is measured by the other definition.  UVA protection is not measured through SPF numbers.  PA is the Japanese measurement of sun protection. It is one of protection grade of UVA  . UVA is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  PA is a protective level of strength to mark the three PA+, PA++ and PA+++. SPF(sun protection factor) Standard: ISO 2444: 2010 cosmetic sun protection test method in vivo determination of SPF (sun protection factor) Test by erythema Minimal dose: MED (minimal erythema dose) Process: exposure to the UV (wave length 290-400nm) Test skin type: type I~ III (ITA 0 >28 0 ) Duration: 16-24hrs after exposure UVA-PF (UVA protection factor)

79.The roles of Vitamin in skin

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical damage . The main action of vitamin C is as an
