Meadowfoam seed oil as a natural dispersing agent for colorants in lipstick. [PDF]
In this study, a green and sustainable oil, meadowfoam seed oil was evaluated as a pigment dispersing agent and compared to castor oil and octyldodecanol in dispersions and lipsticks. Overall, meadowfoam seed oil’s performance was qualitatively and quantitatively similar to castor oil and octyldodecanol indicating that meadowfoam seed oil is a viable ...

A comparison between silicone-free and silicone-based emulsions: Technological features and in vivo evaluation. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Nowadays, the use of silicones in cosmetic formulation is still controversial, given that “natural” or “biodegradable” components are preferred. Often, the exclusion and/or the discrimination of these excipients from cosmetic field are unmotivated because all things cannot be painted with the same brush.

Cosmetic emulsions containing innovative complex coacervates: A cross-sectional study. [PDF]
This study demonstrates the successful encapsulation of α‐tocopherol using non‐animal biopolymers, improving its stability and functional properties in cosmetic emulsions. The developed microcapsules enhance product texture and rheological behaviour, offering promising potential for more stable and functional skincare formulations.

Asymmetric adjustment of control
Abstract This study examines how principals adjust their control over agents based on their prior controlling experience. According to standard economic theory, principals should be equally willing to decrease their control as they are to increase it.

Surface‐To‐Ocean Exchange by the Sinking of Impact Generated Melt Chambers on Europa
Abstract Impacts into icy bodies often generate near‐surface melt chambers and thermal perturbations that soften the ice. We explore the post‐impact evolution of non‐penetrating impacts into Europa's ice shell. Simulations of viscous ice deformation show that dense impact melts founder before refreezing.
