DERMATO-COSMETIC SCIENCE I LABORATORY

(BISC381) -  ATHANASIA VARVARESOU

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The aim of the course is for students to understand the impact of the active ingredients of dermato-cosmetics on the biochemical function of the skin.  The mechanism of action, and the incorporation in dermato-cosmetics of substances acting against chrono-aging, environmental aging i.e photo-aging are described.

 

The goal of the course is for students to understand the principles of the design and development of dermato-cosmetic formulations with bioactive substances. Cosmetics that contain bio-active substances and possess a dermato-cosmetic activity along with dermatological properties and can support the activity of pharmaceuticals often called dermato-cosmetics

Learning outcomes

After the end of the course students will be able to:

  • Understand the mechanism of action of bioactive agents used in dermato-cosmetics
  • Solve stability problems of the bioactive substances incorporated in the cosmetics
  • Perform experiments and to determine the physicochemical stability of the finished products
  • Know the criteria of the selection of the packaging material and to take under consideration potential incompatibilities between ingredients and packaging
  • Design and develop in a laboratory scale, multi-functional formulation of advanced dermato-cosmetics-skin care products with active substances such as herbal extracts, skin anti-oxidants, peptides, healing compounds and delivery systems i.e cyclodextrines and liposomes for the increase of dermal absorption and the stability of active ingredients
