Abstract Shampoos are daily care products designed to clean the hair and scalp. The aim of this study was to compare the contents of baby and newborn shampoos sold in supermar- kets and pharmacies, determine the levels of substances reported to be dangerous to babies and newborns’ health in these shampoos. This cross-sectional study included 18 newborn and baby shampoos that families could buy at supermarkets and pharmacies in Turkey. For newborn and baby shampoos, the number of preservative substances have been determined. A total of 68 chemicals was found in these 18 shampoos, with an average of 14.83 ± 2.43 chemicals in each shampoo. Most of these chemicals were not recommended for use in children. Shampoos that contain numerous chemicals and substances confirmed to be harmful or have suspicious effects should not be recommended. It is clear that more studies are needed in this under-researched area. Keywords: Child, chemical, newborn, pediatrician, shampoo Introduction Even low levels of chemicals can have negative effects on growth, and these effects are more pronounced during the early stages Hair and body cleaning and care are important routine parts of of life, especially the fetal and infancy periods [3,4].

Cerqueira 2,* 1 LEPABE—Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal; [email protected] (T.C.P.); [email protected] (M.C.P.) 2 INL—International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, Avenida Mestre José Veiga, 4715-330 Braga, Portugal; [email protected] (A.J.M.); [email protected] (L.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Oleogels are semi-solid materials containing a large fraction of liquid oil entrapped in a network of structuring molecules. In the food industry, these formulations can be used to mimic fats and to deliver bioactive compounds. In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in these structures, not only from a scientific point of view, i.e., studying new molecules, methodologies for gelification, and new structures, but also from a technological point of view, with researchers and companies exploring these structures as a way to overcome certain challenges and/or create new and innovative products. One of the exciting applications of oleogels is the delivery of functional molecules, where the incorporation of oil-soluble functional compounds can be explored not only at the macroscale but also at micro- and nanoscales, resulting in different release behaviors and also different applications. This review presents and discusses the most recent works on the development, production, characterization, and applications of oleogels and other oleogel-based systems to deliver functional molecules in foods.

ABSTRACT Industrial hygiene surveys were conducted at urea formaldehyde and polyurethane foam thermal insulation manufacturing and application facilities as part of a NIOSH industrywide study of foam insulation materials. In all, eight sites were surveyed--two sets of manufacturers and applicators for each of the two types of foams. Personal and area monitoring were conducted to determine exposure levels to chemical substances and physical agents. Within the urea formaldehyde industries surveyed formaldehyde exposures at the manufacturing facilities ranged from a TWA value of 0.18 ppm to peak values of 5-10 ppm; exposures at the application sites ranged from <0.08 to 2.4 ppm.

The amount of foaming agent is a fixed 2 wt%. We used a twin-screw extruder and added the individual components in the form of dry mixture through the hopper of the extruder. We characterized the PLA matrix and the chemical blowing agents with different testing methods. In case of the produced foams we carried out morphological and mechanical tests and used scanning electron microscopy to examine cell structure. We showed that PLA can be successfully foamed with the use of chemical blowing agents. The best results were achieved with an exothermic CBA and with PLA type 8052D. The cell population density of PLA foams produced this way was 4.82 × 105 cells/cm3, their expansion was 2.36, their density 0.53 g/cm3 and their void fraction was 57.61%.

Antibacterial Efficacy of vNo el Eastern Medicine-Inspired Toothpastes Compared to Commercial Formulations Abstract Toothpaste is an oral health care agent that dates back to the 5th Century B.C. in East Asia. Following the conception of dentistry in the 7th Century B.C. and the field’s subsequent growth, the embodiment of toothpaste has evolved from containing natural substances such as tea leaves to abrasive chemicals, particularly: fluoride, triclosan, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Regarding how each respective reagent functions, fluoride forms a complex with calcium ions in the teeth ot prevent erosion of the protective enamel coating.

Alan PhD Andersen, PhD3 Abstract Sodium Iaureth sulfate is a member of a group of salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols, the safety of which was evaluated by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel for use in cosmetics. Sodium and ammonium laureth sulfate have not evoked adverse responses in any toxicological testing. Sodium laureth sulfate was demonstrated to be a dermal and ocular irritant but not a sensitizer. The Expert Panel recognized that there are data gaps regarding use and concentration of these ingredients. However, the overall information available on the types of products in which these ingredients are used and at what concentrations indicates a pattern of use. The potential to produce irritation exists with these salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols, but in practice they are not regularly seen to be irritating because of the formulations in which they are used. These ingredients should be used only when they can be formulated to be nonirritating. Keywords cosmetics, safety, sodium laureth sulfate, salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel previ acknowledged that although these ingredients can be eye and ously evaluated the safety of sodium myreth sulfate, with the skin irritants, they can be used safely in the practices of use and data myreth sulfate and 2”1 conclusion, based on for sodium concentration reported.
