Description

This module focuses on all aspects of photoprotection:

It will begin with a reminder of the sun's rays and the skin, with an emphasis on natural melanin and non-melanin photoprotection. The skin's reaction to the sun will allow us to discuss the benefits of the sun but will focus on the harmful side effects for the skin. What are the possibilities offered by the cosmetic industry to protect oneself? How to analyze the effectiveness of sunscreen products? What is the impact of filters on the environment?

 

  • Study of the development of suncare formulas: raw materials, chemical and physical filters, formulation techniques, regulations, the relationship between the sun and the skin.

 

  • Use of software to calculate theoretical SPF

 

  • Acquire knowledge in the formulation of suncare products
  • Manufacturing processes
  • Fine analysis of INCI formulas

 

  • Formulation of microemulsion by phase inversion

Hourly volumes* :
