Special Collection on the Middle East
Special Collection on the Middle EastThe Middle East and North Africa is a troubled region, and it isn’t easy to find a success story to write about or a rewarding political experience to report. Much of what shaped the region today stems from its historical experiences: the region did not have its renaissance and missed the age of reason and the industrial revolution. European colonialism blocked Arab and Muslim efforts to modernize and espouse rational thinking. This complete work consists of several dozen essays spread out over 8 parts tackling the region’s conflicts and historical evolution, relating them to contemporary issues. Divided into distinct regions and critical issues, the Special Collection of the Middle East is your source to better understand this volatile region and to be prepared for what comes next.

Skinification: A Game-Changer in Sunscreen Usage
Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable rise in the incorporation of skin care benefits into sun protection, also known as “skinification”, revolutionising sun care as a whole. Skinification is being driven by the growing demand for multifunctional products, as consumers no longer want to choose between sun protection and skin care; they want both in one easy step. Indeed, the number of sun care products including claims such as skin health or antioxidants has only grown, according to Euromonitor International’s PCP system. VitaSea unveiled a collection of five sun care products specifically designed for sensitive skin, including multifunctional formats such as sticks and sprays. By utilising its exclusive "Mineral Superblend" technology, blending premium minerals with botanical extracts, vitamins, and peptides, the company has formulated a revolutionary skin care essential: an all-in-one daily facial mineral sunscreen, moisturiser, and primer.
