SHARON PERSONAL CARE TO INTRODUCE ECO-FRIENDLY WET WIPE PRESERVATIVE AT WORLD OF WIPES 2023

Sharon Personal Care

Sharon Personal Care, a global supplier of innovative, environmentally friendly ingredient solutions for a broad range of personal care products, will introduce the SharoWIPES™ line, the newest addition to the company’s groundbreaking wet wipe preservative platform. This new preservative is a clean label and eco-friendly solution that is free from phenoxyethanol, parabens, CIT/MIT, and formaldehyde donors. It offers a technological breakthrough that protects both the formula and the nonwoven from the outside environment. While developing its SharoWIPES line, Sharon Personal Care researched the impact of the physical characteristics of different types of fabrics, ranging from traditional to trendy, on preservation. Through systematic analysis of factors, such as contact angle, pore size, fiber diameter, and zeta potential, they gained valuable insights into the physical contributions affecting preservation. The interaction between microorganisms and fabrics was also thoroughly examined to enhance comprehension and proactively address preservation difficulties. “Preservation of wet wipes is known to be a very challenging issue. The unique product characteristics of wipes introduce microbiological risks for both the formula and the fabric, and ingredient safety concerns are especially high with wet wipes, since they are used for baby care and on sensitive areas,” says Paul Salama, PhD, Chief Technical Officer and Head of Innovation at Sharon Personal Care. “Our SharoWIPES line was created following in-depth research to address these challenges. The solutions in this line are optimized with carefully selected hydrophilic components that are combined with a unique anti-biofilm mechanism to deliver an ultimate level of protection for the wipe and formula.” SharoWIPES feature a carefully selected combination of hydrophilic elements, complemented by an antibiofilm agent. This breakthrough formulation ensures high efficacy and broad-spectrum protection at minimal usage levels. SharoWIPES not only prevents the formation of biofilms, which can harbor bacteria, but also addresses the selective interaction between preservatives and fabrics. By delivering optimal protection for both the formula and the non-woven fabric. Key features and benefits of SharoWIPES™ include: Broad spectrum protection against bacteria Unique anti-biofilm mechanism to prevent bacterial adherence High efficacy at low-usage levels (<l%) Flexible platform suitable for various wet wipe applications Water-soluble and readily biodegradable Globally compliant Odorless and colorless The preservative components in SharoWIPES are readily biodegradable, making them environmentally friendly. The entire range is vegan, ensuring its suitability for use on baby wipes and sensitive areas. All components of SharoWIPES have also been clinically tested for safety and some have an E number due to their inclusion in food additives listings. To learn more about SharoWIPES preservative platform, meet us at World of Wipes International Conference, taking place July 17-20 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in Georgia. Dr. Noa Ziklo from Sharon’s Innovation Group will also deliver a presentation, A Holistic Approach Towards Wipes Preservation, at World of Wipes on Wednesday, July 19 at 12:00 noon, and will share findings from the research Sharon conducted to develop its line of wet wipe preservatives.

Father Boyle to Speak at The Chicago School’s SoCal Commencement

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

Father Gregory Boyle, who has championed rehabilitation of former Los Angeles gang members for more than three decades, will be keynote speaker at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s Southern California commencement ceremony June 9, 2023 at the Long Beach Convention Center’s Terrace Theater. In recognition of his groundbreaking work educating, employing, and inspiring thousands of troubled youth and young adults, President Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy.D., will award Rev. Boyle a Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa. “We are honored to have Father Boyle speak to our 275 graduates about his life’s work rehabilitating individuals whom society have shunned,” said Dr. Nealon. “Father Boyle is the rare visionary who is passionate and practical—someone who is able to find solutions to what appear to be intractable problems.” Rev. Boyle was originally scheduled to speak at the 2020 commencement, which was cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown. Named a “Champion of Change” by former President Barack Obama in 2014, Rev. Boyle has been widely honored for his work, including receiving the Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. A Los Angeles native, Rev. Boyle entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) immediately after graduating from Loyola High School in 1972. Over the next dozen years, he earned a bachelor's degree in English from Gonzaga University; a master’s in English from Loyola Marymount University; a Master of Divinity from the Weston School of Theology; and a Master of Sacred Theology from the Jesuit School of Theology, now part of Santa Clara University. From 1986 to 1992 Rev. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights, Where he witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence during the “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. In 1988 Rev. Boyle started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises. Homeboy now supports around 10,000 men and women a year, offering therapy, classes, services, job training, and employment at Homeboy Bakery, Homegirl Café, or Homeboy Silkscreen & Embroidery. At the center of it all is founder Rev. Boyle, who describes his work as “radical kinship,” accompanying those who come through Homeboy at virtually every step of their journeys at Homeboy and beyond. Rev. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times -bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. Other books he has written include Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship, and The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness. “We are all invited into this exquisite mutuality where there is no us and them,” Rev. Boyle said. “Once we know that we are unshakably good and that we belong to each other, we can roll up our sleeves … and create anew this place of love and belonging that God would recognize.” About The Chicago School of Professional Psychology: Integrating theory with hands-on experience, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology provides education rooted in a commitment to innovation, service, and community for thousands of diverse students across the United States and globally. Founded in 1979, the nonprofit, regionally accredited university now features campuses in iconic locations across the country (Chicago, Southern California, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Dallas) and online. To spark positive change in the world where it matters most, The Chicago School has continued to expand its educational offerings beyond the field of psychology to offer more than 30 degrees and certificates in the professional fields of health services, education, counseling, business, and more. Through its engaged professional model of education, commitment to diversity and inclusion, and an extensive network of domestic and international professional partnerships, The Chicago School’s students receive real-world training opportunities that reflect their future careers. The Chicago School is proud to be a part of TCS Education System, a nonprofit, integrated system of colleges and universities that works collaboratively to advance student success and community impact.
