Photoprotection

This module covers all aspects of photoprotection:

It will begin with a review of solar radiation and the skin, focusing on natural melanin and non-melanin photoprotection. The skin's reaction to the sun will be discussed, with a focus on the benefits of the sun and its harmful side-effects. What are the cosmetics industry's protection options? How can we analyze the effectiveness of suncare products? What impact do filters have on the environment?

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

• Use of software to calculate theoretical SPFs

• Acquire knowledge of suncare product formulation
• Manufacturing processes
• Detailed analysis of INCI formulas

• Microemulsion formulation by phase inversion
