The design of topically applied product formulation combines scientific knowledge in physics, chemistry, engineering and biochemistry and requires imagination and unique skills. Throughout the design process, a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of skin structure, its pharmacology and mechanisms of delivery are paramount. In addition, knowledge of a formulation’s physical properties, as well as ways of measuring its effects will provide for optimization of product development. Becoming knowledgeable with both aspects, one can extrapolate the possible interactions between a topically applied formulation and skin as a viable organ. Over the past decade, both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have gone through major changes that are primarily driven by consumer demand, aggressive market claims, regulatory issues and scientific breakthroughs. This course provides participants with a thorough understanding of the topics listed above and will focus on methods needed to ensure successful product development. It will also provide knowledge in related terminology to assist in the creation of sales tools and marketing claims.
