FormulaCare is continuing to offer a new way of delivering training to formulators. Three training sessions have been held to date. These theoretical training sessions are in the format of ‘webinars’.
The first webinar held on 6 December 2011 was entitled ‘Reducing Age Spots’ and was presented by John Staton. It also included training on understanding how to test the efficacy of marketing claims. The second webinar was held on the 13 December 2011 and was entitled ‘Formulating for Maximum Efficacy’. The presenter was Rick Williams and covered topics such as how to deliver actives for skin whitening and how to optimise the formulation. A two-part article version of the webinar starts in this issue of Personal Care. The third session was held on 14 February by Professor Dr Karl Lintner and was called ‘Age spots: causes and cosmetic treatments’. Training sessions will take place every six weeks and is free to anyone who wishes to register and follow the training on his or her computer. An added bonus to formulators in India is that during HPCi in Mumbai on 16 March, FormulaCare will be running practical workshops for webinar attendees (see www.formulacare.com). For attendees from Asia, FormulaCare will run laboratory practical sessions in October. These will be held as a final summary of the series of theoretical training throughout South East Asia.
