TECH FOCUS
Skin microbioma- more than a claim - Elena Ilinca, Timo Dijkstra - Keyser & Mackay
In the past years, skin microbiota has become a hot topic in cosmetics, however it’s still largely unknown. During this presentation we’ll explain the bases of skin microbiota and discuss ingredients particularly focused on recovering the protective function of skin's microbiota that is growing into one of the fundamental pillars of modern formulation with the aim of counteracting the unbalancing effect of preservatives on the skin and increase the formula’s performance.
​
​
Raman spectroscopy – new applications on skin in-vivo evaluation - Pedro Contreiras Pinto - PHd Trials
Raman Spectroscopy is a very powerful and non-invasive optical method technique that enables to evaluate the skin at a molecular level. Based on this technique, several methodologies were developed allowing us to measure interesting parameters of the skin, opening the possibility to new applications and investigations, such as the evaluation of an ingredient penetration, water content assessment and the analysis of skin composition profile.
​

Deciphering Clinical Data: Transforming Findings into Tangible Claims - Marta Ferreira - Inovapotek
Clinical data is a stable resource used in most of the health and medical research and is considered the foundation upon which evidence-based allegation rests. As part of the clinical decision-making process, several different sources of evidence based on clinical data can be considered, however not all data are equivalent or of equal quality. Beyond the different sources of evidence, it is possible to set up three major ones: experimental studies, observational studies and systematic reviews. All these sources can contribute significantly to the research and development field but is indeed mandatory the development of strategies to assess the quality of evidence for claims, effectiveness, and applicability. Deciphering this whole world is what is purposed over this lecture, specially how this is applicable to the cosmetic field and how to interpret results in order to get the final desired claims.
