Who Should Attend
This overview is intended for individuals who are interested in
expanding their knowledge and understanding of recent
findings about the skin as a barrier, possible ways of
interaction between the skin and applied compounds and
patterns, and pathways for penetration into and through the
skin. Attendees may hold a function in the following areas:
• Skin Research and Development
• Formulation Chemistry
• Toxicology and Regulatory Affairs
• Technical Sales and Marketing
• Design and Development of topically applied formulations
Description
This two-day course is tailored for individuals who want to
gain better understanding in the detailed structure of the skin
and the correlation between structure and penetration.
Participants will be introduced to the biochemistry of the
upper layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, and the
different theories about pathways of penetration through it.
The course will provide tools for understanding the limitations
in penetration and will suggest possible ways to overcome
the skin barrier. It will discuss testing models as well as
considerations to be taken such as skin age and condition.
