Learning with BCA - Developing and Marketing Cosmetic Ingredients

WHY ATTEND

This course considers the broad range of regulatory, technical and ethical issues which can affect the success of an ingredient in cosmetic formulations. It highlights which factors need to be covered to ensure a successful introduction.

WHAT WILL THE COURSE DELIVER

The course highlights applicable regulatory issues from both the chemical and cosmetic fields, and considers the potential conflict between them, and how these can be minimised. The requirements for safety assessments, and use of alternative testing methodology is examined. The course will examine the development and validation of cosmetic claims, and how these can be used by ingredient suppliers. Finally the requirement for information on sustainability and ethical topics is examined, together with the labelling schemes used to support them.
