So why would you want to make your own per-sonal care or cosme c products anyway?

To tailor the product(s) to your requirements and control what actually goes into them is probably the biggest reason.

To formulate products from the ground up to be therapeu c in nature - where every ingre-dient is there for a specifi c reason & purpose. These cosmoceu cal products can be very powerful therapeu c agents, par cularly when tailor made for an individuals needs, rather than for the very typical mass market/lowest cost scenario, where ingredients are in the for-mula at less than ideal levels to make what are called label claims.

To cost e ec vely prepare products for end cli-ent treatments at a frac on of the cost of simi-lar or o en lower quality commercial products.

To gain enjoyment from the formula on and manufacturing of products for clients, family & friends.

Workshop Content:

Cosme c Chemistry 101 - Learn about the di erent classes of ingredients generally found within each type of cosme c or per-sonal care product and how they a ect the appearance, texture and skin feel of these types of products.

Therapeu c formula on - Learn how to for-mulate cosmoceu cal products and make appropriate selec ons of ingredients that fi t the required therapeu c outcome, product look and feel and client requirements.

Emulsions - Since 80% of all cosme cs are emulsion based we will spend some me looking at the basic types of emulsions, the history and developmental chemistry behind how emulsions science has developed over the years. From Cold Cream to the latest polymer based high end products.

Balms & Ointments - Learn when a balm or ointment is the be er choice as a delivery vehicle compared to other external dose forms. Discover just how simple (or com-plex) these products can be and the best and quickest methods for manufacture.

Spritzs - O en mes a liquid based spray-able solu on is the most appropriate deliv-ery method, a good example is an a er sun (sunburn) cooling & hydra ng mist. In this sec on we will look at the types of surfac-tants & emulsifi ers suitable for this type of product, the uses for spritz based products and some sample formula.

Gels & Serums - Another important class of cosme c ingredients are the hydrocolloids. These substances act as thickening or gelling agents and viscosity modifi ers. We will look at a variety of naturally derived and man-made hydrocolloids and see when each is appropriate across a variety of applica ons and uses.

Preserva on - Dealing with microbial con-tamina on and product stability are key points to address within formula on. We will look at the op ons available.
