The scientific seminar skin-aging, organized in association with CEC Editore, will explore the latest scientific developments and how they will affect cosmetic formulations being introduced to the market.

Wiechers, Ph.D. (JW Solutions, The Netherlands) and Luigi Rigano (Rigano Industrial Consulting and Research, Italy) will review the latest skin-aging research, investigating a number of topics, including the key cellular and biochemical changes that take place when skin tissue ages; the quantification of skin-aging parameters that are necessary for the evaluation of cosmetic and dietary supplements; dermal delivery for anti-aging actives; how skin penetration characteristics change as we age; oxidative stress and its testing by molecular probes; and the innovation in actives and formulations.
