Developing Skin Care Products

 
  September 28, 2018  
     
 
CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ or Virtually
June 24-26, 2019


Who Should Attend?
The course is designed for individuals engaged in the personal care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

It is intended for individuals who work in development and marketing of raw materials, delivery systems and finished products, including:
  • Research and Development 
  • Technical Sales
  • Formulations Development 
  • Marketing

Note: Professionals seeking an in-depth course in formulation techniques only may wish to consider alternative, more specialized courses offered by CfPA in that area. 

Course Description
The selection of active ingredients for topically applied formulations requires scientific knowledge in physical-chemistry and biochemistry.

This 3-day intensive course is intended to help becoming familiar with the fundamentals of skin physiology, structure, renewal, aging process, UV response and the like, to identify those physiological steps, which are accessible to topically applied substances. Becoming familiar with these subjects will allow one to envision the possible interactions between a topically applied formulation and the skin as a viable organ. This can allow for optimization of products.

This course will provide participants with elements leading to the understanding that topically applied products can measurably, visibly and quickly affect the skin. To achieve this result a formula has to be “built” around the active to be delivered, by avoiding those ingredients, which might interfere with the proper delivery. Examples of different efficacy for the same ingredient in different formulas will be provided.
