CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
January 14, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for professionals in the cosmetic and personal care industry, pharmaceutical skin care and skin care related medical devices.

It will be especially valuable for:
  • Professionals with background in Biology and Dermatology who wish to 
     strengthen their knowledge on how to avoid UV-induced damage and foster 
     repair
  • Formulation chemists committed to the preparation of SPF/PA products
  • Professionals committed to Marketing/ Sales/ Product Development and 
     Communication

Course Description
In the Cosmetic and Personal care market almost every day cream claims to offer a sun protection factor or SPF, and body products for summer holidays claim high SPF numbers. In the U.S. the sun-filters (UV absorbing molecules) are listed on a positive list, they are considered drugs which can be sold over the counter (OTC) and their claims (protection against sunburn, skin cancer and skin aging) are regulated by the FDA.

In this 90-minute accredited online session we will review the concept of Sun Protection, SPF, PA, broad spectrum protection and critical wavelength. We will provide information about the key parameters playing relevant roles in the achievement of the SPF/PA values of a topical product. We will also recall the correlation between UV damage and the clinical consequences of exposure to UV and discuss the use of UVabsorbing material, of anti-inflammatory agents, of anti-oxidants direct and of boosters of energy production and DNA repair.
