A first of its kind, rhythm based event headlined by an educative session which married two different universes of industry experience and clinical knowledge – to shed light on the importance of following your natural rhythm in order to support your skin through 4 different time zones in 24 hours. The Circadian Day celebrations witnessed leading Bollywood stars such as Sangeeta Bijlani, Dr. Aditi Govitrikar and Isha Talwar alongside renowned dermatologists and influencers who shared their experiences through skincare whilst emphasizing on the need for products that are in-tune with one’s needs. The event also saw stellar performances by known Indie bands from the Delhi circuit such as Mansa Jimmy and Capital 3.

On its first observance of Circadian Day, Vibhor Rastogi, MD & CEO of Rivpra Formulations, shared, “Our bodies follow a 24×7 rhythm that helps us stay on the move and live a holistically well life. Based on the same philosophy, we developed Oteria, which aligns with our bodies’ natural rhythm to support skincare that restores, rejuvenates and revitalizes your skin to take on daily challenges and more. At Rivpra Formulation, we are committed to creating effective, affordable medicines, and with Oteria, we blend science and nature to address skincare needs for all genders. With the observation of the Global Circadian Rhythm Day, we are honored to introduce the concept of 24×7 skincare and Oteria, to the world beyond.”

The highlight of the evening was a captivating panel discussion aligned with notable stars and experts such as Dr. Ankur Sarin, and Dr. Mili Sinha. Isha Talwar, recently featured in the Amazon Prime series Mirzapur, stated, “Understanding your skincare choices is crucial. It’s really important to understand what you’re buying for your skin; expensive products alone won’t work wonders. For healthy skin, proper sleep and maintaining your body’s rhythm are essential. Even with a busy work schedule, I ensure I eat healthily and get enough rest.”

Oteria, committed to its mission to create a holistic skincare line, aims to raise awareness about the 4 rhythms – Rise, Shine, Chill and Yawn. The products are designed to synchronize with the body’s internal clock. The circadian rhythm, which regulates our 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, is crucial for skin health and rejuvenation. By aligning skincare routines with these natural cycles, Oteria aims to enhance the effectiveness of its products, promote skin vitality, and support overall well-being. Each collection is meticulously crafted to optimize skincare outcomes, respecting the body’s natural processes.

Transparency Matters: Decoding Palm Oil Labels in Skincare

By- Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta

Palm oil, a versatile ingredient in the skincare industry, has been under increased scrutiny due to environmental and ethical concerns. Yet, it remains a vital component in many skincare products due to its unique properties. In this article, Dr Geetika explains why palm oil derivatives are so prevalent in skincare, the benefits they offer, and how to navigate labels to ensure sustainability.

 The Role of Palm Oil Derivatives in Skincare

 Palm oil and its derivatives are widely used in skincare products for several reasons. Their chemical structure and versatility make them beneficial in a variety of applications. Here’s a closer look at why these derivatives are important:

 1. Palm Oil: This is rich in fatty acids, primarily palmitic acid and oleic acid, which provide excellent emollient properties. These fatty acids help to moisturize and soften the skin, making palm oil a key ingredient in creams and lotions.

 2. Palm Kernel Oil: Contains lauric acid, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties. This makes it useful in skincare products designed to cleanse and protect the skin from harmful microbes.

 3. Palm Stearine and Palm Olein: These fractions are derived from palm oil through a process called fractionation. Palm stearine has a higher melting point, making it a good thickening agent in creams and body butters, providing stability to the product. Palm olein is more liquid, offering a smooth texture and making it ideal for lighter formulations like lotions and oils.

 4. Elaeis Guineensis: As the botanical name for the oil palm tree, this encompasses all palm oil-derived products. Its primary benefits include moisturizing, conditioning, and providing a rich source of antioxidants like Vitamin E, which help protect the skin from free radical damage.

 5. Glyceryl Stearate: This derivative acts as an emulsifier, helping to combine oil and water-based ingredients in skincare products. It contributes to a smooth and stable texture, preventing products from separating.

 6. Cetyl Alcohol and Stearyl Alcohol: These are fatty alcohols derived from palm oil. They act as emollients, providing a creamy texture and enhancing the skin’s softness. They also help thicken and stabilize products.

 7. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: Often used as a surfactant and foaming agent, it helps create the rich lather in soaps and cleansers. It is effective in removing dirt and oil from the skin’s surface.

 Addressing Environmental Concerns

While palm oil derivatives offer many benefits, their environmental impact cannot be ignored. Unsustainable palm oil production has led to deforestation, habitat loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the demand for these derivatives in skincare remains high due to their functionality.

 Striking a Balance: Sustainable Palm Oil
Given the widespread use of palm oil derivatives in skincare, the key is to support sustainable sourcing. The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil [MSPO] sets standards for responsible palm oil production, promoting practices that protect the environment and support local communities. By choosing products with MSPO certification, consumers can enjoy the benefits of palm oil while encouraging sustainable practices.

 Navigating Skincare Labels
Understanding the importance of palm oil derivatives in skincare, you can still make informed choices to ensure sustainability. Here are some tips:

 1. Look for MSPO Certification: This certification indicates that the product contains sustainably sourced palm oil.
2. Research the Brand’s Commitment to Sustainability: Companies that prioritize transparency often disclose their sustainability practices on their website or product packaging.
3. Choose Brands with Clear Labeling: Brands that use clear and transparent labeling make it easier to understand the origin of their ingredients.
