The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
May 5, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (EST)
Who Should Attend
Professionals in the cosmetic and personal care or related industries that work and specialize in the following disciplines, as well as groups or companies that provide services in personal care in the following fields:
• Research and Development
• Regulatory Affairs
• Formulations Development
• Safety Assessment
• Product Development
Description
In the current environment of establishing regulations and environmental issues awareness, an effort is put together to offer guidance to individuals in the industry who are concerned with present approaches and future implications. With the unique position of the cosmetic and personal care industry of animal testing ban and emergence of REACH, this course is designed to present key parties involved, their positions, market leads and sources for information. Compounds that are applied to the skin and are likely to absorb either UV or visible light, and are used in day time can potentially cause photo-toxicity reaction.
Photo-toxicity reaction, irritating or sensitizating in nature occurs only when the potentially toxic compound is exposed to light. While photoirritation does not involve the acquired immune system, photo-allergy requires the recruitment of humoral immune system and builds long lasting memory markers for an individual. The core of this 90-minuteaccredited training is focused on the understanding of current available methodologies to test for safety, their scope and limitations.
