Description
<strong>Course Schedule - Pre-recorded Course</strong><br/><br/>This 90-minute <b><i>accredited</b></i> training will offer the most updated status of the use of natural compounds in cosmetic and
personal care products. Their source, processing, safety and efficacy, stability and formulations aspects will be discussed.
The Natural Products Association (NPA) in the US suggests that only 20% of natural personal care products are truly natural.
This gap is explained by the existence of several competing standards regarding the definition of “naturals,” “green” or
“organic” in personal care products. There is confusion with the perception of “natural as safe”. Those compounds that have
been used in the industry for many years for which complete toxicological profiles were generated are now attacked for bad
publicity and are perceived as “non-safe and non-natural”. A major issue is the true value of use of “naturals” in topically
applied formulations.<br><br>
<b>Module 1:</b><br>
• Agricultural aspects- location, season,
treatment<br>
– Plant extracts<br>
– Plant derived oils<br>
• Implications of processing on natural
extracts<br>

whole extract vs. the <br>
purification approach of isolating an active ingredients<br><br>
<b>Module 2:</b><br>
• Processing on natural oils<br>
– Definitions<br>
– Implications on composition<br>
– Stability<br>

compounds<br><br>
<b>Module 3:</b><br>
• Effective concentrations of natural
ingredients: in vitro and <br>
in vivo testing<br>
• Formulations aspects: pH,
incompatibilities, chemical and <br>
physical stability<br>
• Skin absorption and metabolism of
natural ingredients<br>
• Safety assessment<br><br>
