Rational determination of real‐life UV exposure across latitudes: An extended Diffey‐based model integrating behavioural factors

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This study models real‐life UVB and UVA exposure across latitudes and seasons using an extended Diffey framework with behavioural corrections. Findings reveal predictable dose patterns and support pragmatic SPF and UVA‐PF caps, offering a quantitative basis for realistic photoprotection and regulatory discussion.

Sensory contribution of emollient cascades in skin creams evaluated by CATA analysis

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This work includes emulsion composition and sensory analysis methodology, emollient cascade theory and study results. This study demonstrates how deliberate structuring of emollient cascades can be used as a formulation strategy to modulate both perceived skin feel and product appearance within emulsified systems.

Three‐dimensional three‐interval thixotropy test (3D‐3ITT) protocol for cosmetic lotions: A proof‐of‐concept study linking thixotropy to sensory and emotional responses

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
From rheology to emotion: 3D‐3ITT converts usage‐like shear histories into recovery maps and thixotropy index, TI3D. In a blinded half‐face study (N = 30), the higher‐ TI3D serum (S1s) improved absorption/clean feel and increased Relax and Comfort while lowering Anxiety relative to S2s.

Collective Bargaining and Monopsony: The Regulation of Noncompete Agreements in France

Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can collective bargaining mitigate monopsony power? This paper studies the extent to which collective agreements regulating employee noncompete clauses affect firm‐level markdowns in French manufacturing. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences design, we find that such regulation reduces markdowns by 1.3%–2.2% on average.
