BEAUTY BUSTING - HOW TO DISTILL BEAUTY
SCIENCE FROM BEAUTY BOGUS
Chapter News ...... .4 & 5
Perry Romanowski
Feature Article ...... 6 & 7
Vice President - Brains Publishing
Chapter News ........ . 8
ABSTRACT
While people have always held odd beliefs about cosmetics, treatment products, and
beauty, the Information Age has made the propagation of erroneous beliefs much
easier. Clever marketing messages, misremembered headlines and anecdotal stories
shared on discussion boards have all contributed to the rise of a less critical consumer.
Unfortunately, this lack of skepticism can also affect cosmetic scientists. In this
presentation we'll review some common beauty knowledge and determine whether it
is science or nonsense. We'll also talk about some logical tools you can use to protect
yourself from falling for Beauty BS.

Where did all th e time go? I sit here dumbfounded that I've
already arrived to the final Abbedoodle. In so many ways I
feel like things were j ust getting started and here we are at

and begin reigning as your malevolent dictator but in the
interest of peace, I'll peacefully allow our new chair to take the

but we were really unsure at the beginning of the year how our
Chapter would weather the storm. Thanks to your involvement

I'm thankful for the continued dedication and support of our
volunteers. This Chapter would NOT be what it is if it were not
for our amazing volunteer staff. I wasn't the guy that got us in
Mario Tricocci. I wasn't the guy that planned and executed
an outstanding golf outing. I wasn 't the guy that filled 12
pages of newsletter content every month. I didn't find venues,
schedule speakers, take reservations, greet folks, or handle
the finances at the end of the day. Instead, it was a group of
folks that thankfully have as much or maybe even more
passion for the Society as I do.

I'm thankful for our great guest speakers, who each did an
outstanding job fu lfilling our Society's mission of educating
cosmetic scientists on trends, legal considerations, and state

The Chemistry Nerd 's Chemdecor Christmas Wish List
By
S. Tschantz - Lambent Technologies
Last year I reviewed educational toys for both ki ds and adults. This year I
decided to focus more on home decor, chemistry-t hemed home decor to be
precise.
I'm not sure why, but every now and then my nerdy side takes over and I get
something I feel is absolutely rid iculous, only to find out later that it not only
turns out to be stylish in an indle sort-of way, but out-right popular with friends
and family. One such thing: My periodic table of the elements throw, obtained for
FREE by referring a friend to ACS a couple of years ago (they have since offered a different color every year), Thi s
blanket found its fame by being d ubbed "cool" and swiftly snatched up to swadd le whoever CQuid get their hands
on it. Yes, there were even fights. Finally one day it disappeared and was later found hanging in a friend's office
as the equivalent of a modern-day tapestry. I couldn't argue, for some reason it looked really cool there. Thank
goodness my ACS anniversary mugs are hidden.
But what else is available for Chemdecor? I was hoping to find something more, beyond the periodic table shower
curtain and placemats. Of course , the internet didn't disappoint.
I bring to you my top 5 Chemdecor Christmas Wish List.
Rynner-UD. The Chemistry Time Clock
A new way t o memorize periodic table atomic numbers! The numbers of the clock
correspond to the element's atomic numbers (e.g. · H· replaces -1-, "He- replaces -2· ,
etc.) The clock follows a 24 hour day, taking us all the way to Chromium and giving us a
little more of that trivial pursuit edge. Only $35 at

With the Deluxe Hydrodynamic Building Set you can build a model of an ice

#3 Home Cocklall Chemistry Set
Sure we've all enjoyed those test tube
shots at the club, but now you can enjoy
them at home. And it will even up the
cleverness of those Pyrex mugs! The
inner scientist in me cringes at some of
the hazard signs, but I quickly got past it
when the thought of day glow green

Forget about trying to find interesting
coffee table books that end up with rings
from moonlighting as coasters and
there's no need for knick knacks on this
table. Every stable element is sampled
and individually embedded in solid
acrylic. Retail ing at $9,463, they say the
Periodic Coffee Table is a great way for

to show off their love of science in the
