The objective of this course is to provide students with the biochemical working principles of cosmetic delivery systems in formulations, the foundation of cosmeceutical products, and international legal regulations regarding cosmetic product safety on a scientific basis. It aims to enable students to analyze classic and novel delivery systems, comprehend the development and testing processes of products at the cosmetic-drug intersection, evaluate adverse reactions related to product use, and attain the vision to execute their professional applications in the sector in accordance with international (European Union, REACH) safety and quality standards.
This course covers the theoretical examination of classic and novel delivery systems used in cosmetic products and the interaction factors of these active substances with the skin. Within the framework of the curriculum, the analysis of the structural boundaries among cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, and drugs, product development (R&D) processes, and potential adverse clinical effects related to cosmetics are discussed in detail. Furthermore, in the context of regulations such as SCCNFP and REACH, cosmetic product safety in the European Union, manufacturer/practitioner obligations, laboratory testing methods for products, and legal analyses of high-risk cosmetic groups subjected to specific measures are covered.
