London (UK)
Masterclass Overview
Natural & organic standards and the use of food ingredients in cosmetics
are the focus of this new Natural Cosmetics Masterclass.
The masterclass has been designed
to assist companies with the formulation & technical issues they face
when adopting new natural & organic cosmetic standards and using food ingredients. The masterclass is designed for cosmetic
manufacturers, formulators and ingredient companies looking at these
emerging areas.
The masterclass comprises two
interactive workshops....
Workshop 1: Critical Review of Natural & Organic Cosmetic Standards
0930- 1300
The
first
workshop will begin by giving precise details of the finalised Cosmos
standard, set by the leading certification agencies in Europe. Details
will then be given of the NaTrue standard, backed by some of the largest
natural cosmetic manufacturers. A comparison assessment will be
undertaken of these and other private standards in Europe and North
America, including Soil Association, BDiH, Ecocert, NSF, OASIS and NPA. The workshop will examine the formulation, ingredient & technical issues
of these standards, addressing the following questions:
> What are the precise details of the finalised Cosmos natural & organic cosmetic
standards?

standards?

With a
growing number of product developers and formulators turning to the
kitchen table for cosmetic ingredients, this workshop
examines the
technical & formulation issues involved. A review is undertaken of the
food ingredients that can be used in cosmetic products, their potential
benefits, safety & preservative and formulation issues. Case studies
will be given of ingredient and cosmetic companies who have successfully

food ingredients in
personal care applications.
