Beginning June 7, the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) and Society of Cosmetic Chemists will host a three-day online CEP course on lipids in personal care and cosmetics. It will provide a detailed look into the roles of plant-based lipids. Particular focus will be put on how the structure of fatty acids found in plant-based lipids, and more importantly the triglycerides and wax esters that contain them, determine the interdependent properties of oxidative stability, compatibility, solid fat content, and crystallization types of various oils, fats and waxes. Instructors will examine how these properties can inform the chemist’s choice of oils, fats, waxes, and their derivatives within different personal care and cosmetic products, including anhydrous and emulsion-based products. Finally, there will be a review of the scientific literature describing the potential therapeutic benefits of different components of plant-based oils and fats.
This will be a fairly technical course, best suited for professionals with at least some basic knowledge of lipid chemistry and personal care/cosmetic formulation. However, in addition to formulators, quality control chemists, regulatory scientists and product development professionals will find many new insights within the course materials. Sales and marketing professionals who have a scientific background should find the course beneficial to their current positions, too.
Day 2 is June 9 and Day 3 is June 11.
