� If one customer, obey special requirements
� If for sensitive areas, mucous membranes etc.
avoid unsuitable colours & preservatives
� Mucous membranes
� in the vicinity of the eyes

� Keep it simple – but effective
� Look at methods of production
� Process plant availability

Tip
� Think commercially
� Use materials that are already in current stock
wherever possible
� Use laboratory mixing equipment which
represents that available in the factory
� Think of the likely batch sizes
� Can they be made with existing equipment?
� If there is a problem can the formula be revised?
� Can the product be filled with existing equipment?

claim can be made, and which meet that
claim.

of claims can be provided from controlled
laboratory trials.
� User trial results (responses from 50 people) or
raw material data or a combination of the above
can be used.

Support immune system
� Abstract USP 6,843,995
� The invention relates to a cosmetic preparation containing an active complex comprised of an extract from truffles (Tuberaceae) in a cosmetically acceptable gel while being stabilized. A preferred active complex is one that additionally contains a champagne product. Cosmeticpreparations containing this active complex lead to an improved stimulation of the immune system, an improved regenerative effect and thus to an improved balance in the ecosystem of the skin.

Replace lost lipids
� As skin ages the ceramide content of the SC decreases.
� Ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids are effective in restoring lost lipids and the barrier functions of the skin.
� Ceramides AKA Sphingosines (9 identified)
� Fatty acid = linoleic acid particularly effective
� Together with cholesterol, lamella structures are formed, which penetrate upper SC.

Moisturise
� There is a water- gradient from the lower levels of the skin to its surface where it evaporates as transepidermal
water loss (TEWL)
� There is a decrease in moisture content from the base
layers to the surface (70% - > 10%)
� As skin ages it loses more moisture but all skin may be subject to increased moisture loss through
environmental conditions
� Moisturising is the basic requirement for nearly all skin care products

� Petrolatum & other oils & fats form an
occlusive film, virtually preventing TEWL

Moisturise
� Select the active
� Glycerin & other hygroscopic humectants attract water to themselves; with more moisture
on the skin there is a reduction in loss through evaporation
� Proteins hold moisture and are substantive to skin
� NMF duplicates the skin moisturising system
� Lamellar structures penetrate SC, restoring its
natural barrier properties

DLC Question
� It is your task as head of product development to
reformulate this product in order to make strong
moisturising claims and to avoid using materials
that are no longer perceived as appealing to
consumers. There are no financial restraints on
the material costs.
� Finally, list the reformulated product ingredients
in descending order of concentration, show their
approximate % in the new formula and rewrite
the label copy to appeal to the target consumer.
