Skin Product Development

 
  July 11, 2012  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
5-7 November 2012


Who Should Attend
The course is designed for individuals who are engaged in the personal care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It is intended for individuals who work in the development of raw materials, delivery systems and finished formulations, including:

  • Research and Development 
  • Technical Sales
  • Formulations Development 
  • Marketing

Description
The design of topically applied formulation combines scientific knowledge in physics, chemistry, engineering and biochemistry and requires imagination and artistic skills.

Throughout the design, one must become familiar with the fundamentals of skin structure, its pharmacology and possible delivery approaches. The understanding of formulation’s physical properties, ways of measuring these properties are additional essential aspects to learn.

Becoming familiar with both, one can extrapolate the possible interactions between a topically applied formulation and the skin as a viable organ. This can allow for optimization of development.

Over the past decade, both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have gone through major changes that are mainly driven by consumer demand, aggressive market claims, regulatory issues and scientific breakthrough discoveries.

This course will provide participants with understanding the diversity of the above and will channel and focus their development approaches. It will also provide knowledge in related terminology to create sales tools and marketing claims.

 
 
Organized by: CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers: Nava Dayan, Ph.D.; Skin Care Research Expert

Dr. Nava Dayan earned her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem specializing in skin delivery. She is currently an Associate Adjunct Professor in the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University, and the Research and Development and Safety Assessment Director at Lipo Chemicals Inc. During her 24 years of experience she has specialized in a variety of areas related to skin treatment:

  • The research and understanding of the interaction between topically applied compounds
    and the skin
  • Findings in skin biochemistry and especially the upper layer of the skin- the stratum 
    corneum
  • Delivery of active compounds into and through the skin and the development of delivery 
    systems to facilitate transport, improve bio-availability and reduce toxicity
  • Design and development of topically applied formulations
  • Design of clinical studies to substantiate market claims and to assure safety
  • Academic teaching and lecturing
  • Industrial experience in both development of active compounds, delivery systems and 
    finished formulations
  • Skin absorption studies in vivo and in vitro for safety/ efficacy assessment
  • In vitro methodologies for safety assessment of topically applied compounds

Dr. Dayan has received numerous awards of excellence for various papers she has authored. A technology developed by Dr. Dayan is the recipient of the Gold Award for Innovation at the 2011 In Cosmetics European Show. She is the author and co-author more than 150 publications including book chapters and was granted 8 patents. She is also the editor of the “Skin Aging Hand Book” published by Elsevier; “Innate Immunity of Skin and Oral Mucosa” Book co-edited with Prof. Philip Wertz, “Formulating Skin Care with Natural Products” Book co-edited with Dr. Lambros Kromidas; both published by Wiley and sons. Dr. Dayan is a member of the Dermatopharmaceutics Focus Group, and the Abstract Review Committee for the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS). She is serves as the Educational Chair of the NYSCC Chapter and on the Scientific Advisory Board of Health Beauty America Expo and the Center for Dermal Research at the Center for Biomaterials. Dr. Dayan teaches at Rutgers University and is the Director of a variety of courses at the Center for Professional Advancement.
