Overview:
This presentation is aimed at providing guidance to new formulation chemists and other professionals involved in skin care product development, assisting them to produce innovative products.
The novice formulation chemist may be overwhelmed when challenged with developing a topical product suitable for a local or global market. The basic questions that come to mind are:
1. Where does one start?
2. What criteria should a formulation chemist consider when selecting the ingredients to incorporate into a new product?
3. How are safety and product performance claims established in different countries?
4. What are the criteria for a patent?
5. How does one ensure a patented formulation is not inadvertently being violated?
6. Are any ingredients in the new formulation incorporated at levels restricted in a respective country where the formulation will be sold?
We will provide examples of available resources to assist the formulator in answering these questions, using example TDS, MSDS patents and publications.
