776 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS SCC Presents IFF Award The Society of Cosmetic Chemists has presented the 1968 IFF Award to Dr. Tong Joe Lin for his paper "The Effect of Initial Surfactant Locations on the Viscosity of Emulsions." The award, funded by In- ternational Flavors and Fragrances, Inc., consists of a scroll and an honorarium of $1,000. It is presented annually to the author of the most meritorious paper published in the JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS during the preceding year. Formal presentation of the Award was made by the Society's Presi- dent, Mr. Harry Isacoff, at the September 8th luncheon session during the Society's annual seminar in St. Louis, Missouri.

J. Soc. Cosmetic Chemis:s, 20, 777 793 (Dec. 9, 1969) Studies on Lanolin Shampoo Systems Derivatives in SHIRLEY ANN D•RAGON, B.S., PATRICIA M. DALEY, B.A., HENRY F. MASO, B.S., and LESTER I. CONRAD, B.S.* Presented May 1G, 19•8, Fifth IFSUC Congress, Tokyo, Japan Synopsis--The influence of six different water-soluble ethoxylated lanolin derivatives and of an ethoxylated stearyl alcohol on the foam characteristics of a typical shampoo system was determined using relatively simple laboratory procedures. Reproducible quantitative meas- urements of specific foam volume and per cent drainage after five minutes were utilized to characterize the foams. Acceptable limits were established for these criteria. The additives were tested at 1, 2, and 5% in deionized water at 23 ø and 45øC in moderately hard water at 23øC and in the presence of synthetic sebum in deionized water at 45øC. Sig- nificant differences between the foam properties of the control shampoo and of the shampoos containing the additives were observed. A pronounced response to concentration of additive was also detected, establishing the value of these test methods for evaluating shampoo addi- tives and for determining the concentration required to optimize foam characteristics. The data indicate that the addition of the appropriate ethoxylated lanolin derivative at its opti- mum concentration can stabilize shampoo performance under a variety of use conditions. INTRODUCTION Ethoxylated lanolin derivatives are used in shampoos for groom- ing effects, gloss, and solubilization of antiseptics, perfume, and other oil-soluble additives. Although lacking factual proof, many cosmetic formulators anticipate a reduction in foam volume and/or foam stability when these lanolin derivatives are added, but reason that the benefits to be obtained outweigh the expected concomitant "disadvantages." * American Cholesterol Products, Inc., Amerchol Park, Edison, N.J. 08817. 777
