“Making Products That Perform a Function and Tell a Story

The selection of active ingredients for topically applied formulations requires scientific knowledge in physical-chemistry and biochemistry. Without a clear understanding of these, a formulation could be developed that would be not only inferior to a competitor’s products but could be ineffective as well. A dissatisfied customer using such a product will obviously not purchase it again.

This intensive 12-hour accredited ON DEMAND course is intended to help participants become familiar with the fundamentals of skin physiology, structure, renewal, aging process, and will recognize 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.”
