Skin and Formulation

The “Skin and Formulation 1^st Symposium” was organised in Paris in 2003, with more than 170 attendees. Three years later the “Skin and Formulation 2^nd Symposium” was held in the “Palais des Congrès” in Versailles on 9-10 October, 2006. In the same prestigious location, the “Skin and Formulation 3^rd Symposium” took place on 9-10 March, 2009. These symposia have provided a unique discussion forum between pharmacists, biologists, chemists and physicians on the interactions between the skin and formulations applied to it. The various aspects of the topical and transdermal applications of pharmacologically and cosmetically active compounds have been presented and discussed. In 2012, the “Skin and Formulation 4^th Symposium” left the Ile de France region and relocated to Lyon on 4-5 June. In this symposium, important topics focused on in silico, in vitro and in vivo evaluations of skin products and formulation trends, especially in the field of powder technology.
