An Intensive Course in Dermato-Cosmetic Sciences is yearly organized, already from 1992 onwards. This successful international course aims at forming specialists for the cosmetic industry and the dermatologically-oriented pharmaceutical industry. It addresses topics particularly important for R&D professionals, marketers and other participants of the cosmetic industry value chain.
The course aspiration is not only to provide up-to-date reliable scientific information regarding the preparation and production of chemically and toxicologically well-defined products, but also to create better understanding of the close interaction between dermato-cosmetics and the skin as a living organ. A number of topics related to the efficacy of cosmetic products receive special attention.
Key questions to be tackled by the course:
- How to realise daily skin care and how to deal with the delicate napkin zone?
- How important is the barrier function of the skin?
- What is 'sensitive skin'?
- What are the newest findings concerning skin aging?
- How can one efficiently protect the skin from premature aging?
- Efficacy testing of cosmetics is a part of the new cosmetic regulation: what to expect and how to deal with it?
- How effective are skin care products? Can their efficacy be objectively evaluated by the use of non-invasive methods on humans? Are there new techniques available?
- How important is dermal absorption for the safety of dermato-cosmetics?
- How safe are dermato-cosmetics today?
- Is the application of in vitro methods for safety testing of cosmetics possible today? How can we test safety and efficacy of cosmetics without experimental animals?
