Online Course, Formulating for Efficacy: Improving Delivery of Cosmetic Ingredients to the Skin by Mark Chandler, SpecialChem

26 November 2019

Why should you view this course?

Are you discovering destabilization in your formulations and thus efficacy loss from insufficient delivery of cosmetic active ingredients to the skin through costly trials? And then, to compensate for such poor performance, using ingredients at higher loading only increases your starting formulations’ cost! Adopt a science-based approach to formulate for optimized active ingredient delivery. Join this course and:
    • Avoid efficacy loss by understanding how you can predict & adjust key factors (solubility, diffusion…) using Hansen Solubility Parameters & modelling software
    • Achieve greater effect using lower loadings of actives by using science-based predictive tools to improve delivery of active ingredients to skin
  • Go a step further & understand how to balance the sensorial-to-use aspects.

Who should view this course?

Skin care formulators who want to achieve greater efficacy by having more control over the delivery of active ingredients to the skin.

Course Outline

    • Delivery of Cosmetic Actives to the Skin
      • Why at recommended level, you may not obtain the effect you expect (beyond compatibility issues between your ingredient & formulation, i.e. no negative chemical interactions)
      • Mechanisms governing ingredient delivery
      • Challenges in delivering enough Active Ingredients to the Skin
    • Predicting Cosmetic Active Ingredients’ Solubility
      • Using Hansen Solubility Parameters
    • Selecting a Good Carrier (water, emollient, humectant…) for your Cosmetic Actives
    • Simulating Diffusion Using Modeling Software Formulating for EfficacyTM
      • Integrating Colloidal Effects
      • Other Factors
    • Taking a Holistic Approach to Integrate Sensorial / Pleasure to Use Aspects
