Description
<strong>Course Schedule - February 19-20, 2009</strong><br/><br/>In vitro skin absorption testing is part of recommended
regulatory guidelines in the USA and used globallly to assess
safety of exposure to chemicals when applied topically. The
Personal Care Council (formally CTFA), the OECD
(Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development),
WHO (World Health Organization) and SCCP (Scientific
Committee of Consumer Products) - have all issued
guidelines to address absorption of compounds from
cosmetic formulations. The objective of these guidelines is to
obtain quantitative and/or qualitative information on the
amounts of chemicals that may penetrate the skin
transdermally into the blood circulatory system during “real
time” use.<br><br>
Since in vitro studies have been demonstrated to provide
reliable, reproducible data for topically applied formulations
when the skin is the target of action, it is imperative that an
understanding of penetration patterns be developed in order
to allow for better product development as well as
conservation of both resources and time in the process of
product design.<br><br>
This unique course will describe the importance of evaluating
skin absorption of compounds from topically applied
formulations. This description is an essential context for
safety assessment, mechanistic studies and is fundamental to
conducting clinical studies. It will also review key parameters
in the guidelines and provide tools for further research.
