Planning Your Career & Education Pathway by Understanding Jobs and Skills in Demand in the Personal Care Science Industry …by Jennifer (Lenahan) Cleary

any Chemists are interested in building their careers within the Cosmetics and Personal Care Science industry (referred to here as the Personal Care Science Industry). Some do this by entering as entry-level Chemists and exploring their career options through professional networks. New tools are available, however, that can give you a clearer picture of the jobs and skills in high demand among employers in the industry. This information, in turn, can help you choose degree programs and courses that will position you best to meet these demands. This article presents an analysis of U.S. job openings posted on-line between February 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016 by Personal Care Science Industry employers. To do this, we used a tool called Labor Insight from Burning Glass, which lets researchers mine all of the detailed information stored in job postings, from job titles to skills, education, and experience requested.1 See the Methods section below for more information on how we conducted the analysis. Overall, we focused the analysis on science and science-related business jobs in the industry and excluded occupations that would require less than a Bachelor’s degree. We also focused the analysis on jobs that require five years or less of experience, as these are generally the jobs most available to new graduates and other young professionals looking to advance their careers in the business. Finally, at least one large employer—Johnson & Johnson—was excluded because most of the jobs they advertise are on the medical side of their business and there was no way to isolate the jobs specific to Personal Care Science. With these restrictions, we identified 3,267 jobs posted in the Personal Care Science Industry across the U.S. between February 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016. Keep in mind that this is likely an undercount of all jobs available, as this is a new tool and it may not capture all employers and jobs advertising online. The information can alert you to possible emerging trends in job and skills in demand, however. This data can be most helpful when combined with other sources of information on industry trends.

Chemists and Outside Sales are the most frequently advertised job titles, but overall there is a wide diversity of job titles used in the industry. There is no single job title that dominates the job postings we found in the Personal Care Science Industry. Of the 3,267 unique job titles advertised online in the U.S. between February 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016 in the Personal Care Science Industry, there was no one job title that made up more than a small fraction of all the job titles advertised. Outside Sales Representative and Chemists, for example, were the most frequently advertised job titles, but each one accounted for just about 5% of all job titles posted. Figure 1 provides a look at the most in demand job titles posted in the industry by total postings and percentage of the total. !"#

Figure 1. Top 10 Most Frequently Advertised Job Titles in the Personal Care Science Industry, February 1, 2015 - January 31, 2016, by Percentage of Total Job Postings (N=3,267).

While Chemists are one of the most commonly found job titles in the industry, Science, as a category, accounts for fewer than 1 in 10 of the jobs advertised online. If we look at jobs in the Personal Care Science Industry by broad job category, it is clear that there are many more jobs being advertised in management and other business-related occupations than in frontline science jobs. As you can see in Figure 2, Management jobs account for the highest percentage of all advertised jobs (20%). Jobs in the Computer and Mathematical, Sales and Related, Engineering, and Business Operations categories account for between 14% and 18% of posted jobs. By contrast, Life, Physical, and Other Science related jobsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the category that Chemists fit intoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;make up just 7% of the total jobs posted online. So, while Chemists are one of the most in demand job titles, jobs in that category make up just a small part of the total jobs in demand in the industry. !"# -./.01-1/2##

On the other hand, chemistry skills, especially when combined with business and other skills, are in demand across a wide range of job types. Chemistry is the most frequently requested skill across all of the job postings in the Personal Care Science Industry we examined. As noted in Figure 3, Chemistry was listed as a required skill for 20% of all jobs posted. So, while Chemists make up only 5% of all the jobs we examined, it is clear that chemistry is an important skill to have in a wide range of jobs. Expertise in the business operations and customer relationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; software, SAP, was the second most commonly requested skill in job postings (18%). Technical Support and Chemical Engineering skills were each requested in about 12% of all the job postings we examined. Packaging, Collaboration, Sales, Biology, Optimization, Scheduling, and Product Development each appeared in between 7-9% of the postings. !"#

Figure 3. Top 10 Most Frequently Requested Skills in Personal Care Science Industry Job Postings, February 1, 2015 - January 31, 2016, by Percentage of Total Postings (N=3,267).

When looking at broad skill categories, the importance of having business and communications skills for most jobs becomes clear. When we examine the skills requested in online job ads in the Personal Care Science Industry by broad skill category, you can see that communication and other common business skills are in high demand across a wide swath of jobs. Around two-thirds of all jobs advertised in the industry require skills related to Communication and Coordination (69%), Business Environment (65%), or Problem Solving (63%). Another 40% of job postings require applicants to demonstrate Project and Process Flow skills. More than one-fifth of job postings also request IT/Business Intelligence skills (23%), Business Process and Planning skills (22%), general Supply Chain and Logistics knowledge (21%), and Chemistry (21%) skills. !"#

Nearly 1 in 3 jobs posted on-line in the Personal Care Science Industry is located in the New York/New Jersey area. The good news for members of the NYSCC looking for jobs close to home, as you can see in Figures 5, jobs postings last year were highly concentrated in New York City and the Northern and Central New Jersey Metropolitan Statistical areas.

Figure 5. Map of Top 15 Metropolitan Statistical Areas Posting Personal Care Science Industry Jobs, February 1, 2015 - January 31, 2016 (N=3,267).

Taking a closer look at the types of jobs and skills that are concentrated in the Trenton-Ewing, New York/Northern New Jersey/ Long Island, and Philadelphia/Camden/Wilmington metropolitan statistical areas, you can get a better sense of the opportunities open locally. As Figure 6 shows, 939 Personal Care Science Industry jobs were posted in these three areas over the one-year period examined. This is about 29% of all the Personal Care Science jobs posted nationwide; or nearly one in every three jobs posted! The Trenton-Ewing metropolitan statistical area, in particular, has much higher demand for Personal Care Science Industry jobs than average. There were four jobs posted for every 10,000 employed people over the February 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 2016 period. The New York/Northern New Jersey/Long Island metropolitan statistical area had the highest number of total job postings (803), making it an area of high demand even though there were fewer job postings relative to the working population. On the other hand, the Philadelphia/Camden/Wilmington metropolitan statistical area has much lower than average demand for jobs in personal care science. Outside of this area, a few metropolitan areas in the mid-West and the South also have higher than average levels of demand for personal care jobs. Job postings per 10,000 people employed

Estée Lauder Company Many of these employers are cosmetics companies or suppliers of cosmetic ingredients. Many also have large operations in the New York/New Jersey area.

Chemists and Marketing Managers are the most in-demand job titles in the New York/New Jersey Area. As Figure 7 shows, Chemists were the most frequently requested job title in online job postings between February 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016 in the local area, which we defined to include the Trenton-Ewing, New York/Northern New Jersey/ Long Island, and Philadelphia/Camden/Wilmington metropolitan statistical areas. Online ads for Chemists comprised 6% of the 939 total job postings found in the area (compared to 5% of the national total). While Outside Sales was one of the highest demand job titles nationally (5% of all U.S. postings in the industry), that title did not even make the top 10 in the local job market. Rather, Marketing Manager was the second most in demand job title locally, making up 4% of postings. Titles including Buyer, Logistics Analyst, Production Supervisor, Sales Manager, Production Manager, Sales Specialist, Supply Chain Manager, and Purchasing Manager each comprised about 1% of job postings in the local area. !"# -./0123##

There is more concentrated demand for jobs in Science, Management, and Business and Financial Operations categories as well as others in the New York/New Jersey area compared to the nation. To understand what job categories are particularly valued by employers in the local job market, we examined which categories had at least 90 job postings and a high location quotient. A location quotient (LQ) above 1.0 indicates a high concentration of demand in the local area compared to the rest of the country. As you can see in Figure 8, in the Trenton-Ewing, New York/Northern New Jersey/Long Island, and Philadelphia/Camden/Wilmington metropolitan statistical areas, there is relatively strong demand for Life 6

Overall, it is clear that a mix of Chemistry and other Business Skills is a highly valuable set of skills for jobs within and outside of the local New York/New Jersey Personal Care Science Industry Job Market. Many students looking to enter the Personal Care Science Industry express initial interest in pursuing careers as Chemists in cosmetics formulation, but this analysis shows that there are many other career opportunities in the Personal Care Science industry where students and growing professionals can apply Chemistry skills. The trick, it turns out, is to also develop a complementary set of skills in business and other areas discussed in this article. Chemists and other Science-focused jobs, while making up a larger part of the industry here than elsewhere, still account for only about 1 in 10 jobs in the Personal Care Science Industry in the New York /New Jersey area. However, we can see that there is strong demand for Chemistry, plus a range of business skills, for jobs that span many other job categories. Two out of three jobs posted in the industry require communication and coordination, business, and problem solving skills, for example.

As a result, those considering higher education programs to start or advance in the Personal Care Science Industry may want to consider a Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program. The Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program is a new national model for educating scientists who plan to work in industry. Started by a series of grants from the Sloan Foundation in 1997, Professional Science Master’s programs now exist at research universities around the nation. According to the PSM website, the degree is “designed for students who are seeking a graduate degree in science or mathematics and understand the need for developing workplace skills valued by top employers.”2 PSM programs offer students a full Master’s of Science in a particular discipline, but also require students to complete a professional component that includes business, communications, regulatory affairs, completing an internship or other work experience, and attending professional education and networking events. Overall, the degree is a great fit for scientists who want to be able to have a seamless transition into industry-relevant work, or to add more flexibility to their career by deepening their science knowledge and acquiring the business skills needed to effectively apply science in an industry context.

The Rutgers University Master’s of Business and Science (MBS) Program, which offers a concentration in Personal Care Science, is a local option for those interested in pursuing a PSM. The goal of the MBS Personal Care Science concentration is to educate students in the essential skills and tools relevant to the Personal Care (Cosmetic), Consumer Health Products, Pharmaceutical and Specialty Chemical industries. Students will be taught the fundamentals and applications of personal care chemistry, food science, process engineering and science, and will receive training in finance and accounting, marketing, communication and leadership, management of science and technology, ethics, and entrepreneurship. The objectives of the MBS Personal Care Science concentration are to, learn the fundamentals of cosmetic chemistry including: raw materials, bioactives, emulsions, hair biology and function, and skin biology and function; and to gain an appreciation of national and international regulatory guidelines, testing of raw and finished goods, and marketing aspects of personal care products, as well as business fundamentals. For more information on the Rutgers University MBS program in Personal Care Science, go to mbs.rutgers.edu or call: (848) 932-5117. See the events schedule on the website for information on an Open House to be held on April 4, as well as monthly information webinars for interested students.

Methods To do this analysis, we used a tool called Labor Insight from Burning Glass. It allows you to mine data from online job postings so you can see trends in the job market, such as job titles and skills in high demand and where jobs are concentrated, among other things. Because many jobs are posted several times in different places online, the system uses several methods to eliminate as many duplicate postings as possible.1 To get to the interesting information, Labor Insight breaks up all the pieces of the job description into fields that can be analyzed. This analysis included on-line job postings in the personal care industry from February 1, 2015 – January 31, 2016. To help students and other entry-level jobseekers, we limited the analysis to jobs requiring at least a Bachelor’s degree and five years or less experience. 8

While this analysis has the potential to show jobseekers and employers important recent trends in the job market, there are limitations to this work. Not all jobs are advertised online, and not all of those online are captured by Burning Glass. The unstructured nature of job ads can make it difficult for the system to correctly identify individual pieces of information effectively in some cases. So, there may be some irrelevant jobs caught in the net and some relevant jobs may get left out. Overall, however, this analysis of “real-time” jobs data gives you a basic understanding of what is in demand in the current job market.

NYSCC Cruise • June 8, 2016 Aqua Azul: Preservation Seminar

Weehawken, NJ Topic: The Challenges of Global Preservation of Cosmetics Speaker: David Steinberg

he relentless attack on all preservatives goes on. These include new bans and restrictions on previously approved preservatives in the EU, additions to Canada’s Hot List, State prohibitions and their pseudo retractions, the NGO’s scare tactics, and the worst attacks, by the marketers of cosmetics. What is the end result of these attacks? A mad scramble to find anything to preserve our products that is acceptable to our marketing department. Suppliers come out with new, unheard of “natural” preservatives, blends of whatever marketing will accept to try and find a combination that works, and recalls of contaminated products. Guess who woke up to this problem? The regulators! What will they do? The EU is proposing a ban on “free” claims, but the one to watch out for is the latest FDA’s Cosmetic Guidelines issued early this year.

Biography David C. Steinberg graduated with a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Drexel University and an MBA in Management from Pace University. In 1995, he founded Steinberg & Associates, Inc., a consulting firm for the Cosmetic industry specializing in the chemistry of cosmetic ingredients, preservatives and preservation, international and U.S. regulations, domestic and international labeling of cosmetics and cosmetic drugs, and marketing of ingredients. He has been an expert witness in patent, business issues, and injury cases dealing in the personal care area. In 2008, David founded Report Reaction, LLC to assist clients in complying with new FDA OTC labeling requirements. Mr. Steinberg was one of the original founders of the Master’s Degree Program in Cosmetic Science at Fairleigh Dickinson University where he taught as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Chemistry from 1982 to 2000. He is a member of numerous organizations and received a number of awards including the Society of Cosmetic Chemists’ Merit Award and was also awarded the status of Fellow in the Society of Cosmetic Chemists.

Personal Care Wet Wipes, A Unique Delivery System Douglas Cole

ome and listen to why personal care wet wipes continue to grow worldwide due to the convenience, performance, and targeted delivery systems for skin cleaning. Personal care wipes encompass baby wipes, flushable wipes, beauty care wipes, and personal cleansing wipes along with other wet wipe applications. The combination of nonwoven materials and personal care formulations must be developed in tandem to provide consumers with the desired performance and removal of unwanted soils while delivering beneficial ingredients to the skin. Each wet wipe formulation is distinct and performs differently depending on the nonwoven fibers and material matrix. Regulatory changes, media hype around flushable wipes, and product preservation are among the highlighted challenges facing personal care wet wipes today. In this session, we will delve into some of the technical approaches to solve the challenges facing personal care wipes today and in the future.

Aerosol Technology—Fundamentals in Product Development David Streuli

he Personal Care aerosol category consists of multiple product forms, each representing unique actuation specific to the delivery and overall end-use performance expectations. Whether it is a hairspray, sunscreen, mousse, or post-foaming shave gel, there are many parameters to consider in development. Providing for a soft fine mist, direct streaming spray, or foam application requires a balance of the functional polymers, system rheology, propellant choices, and appropriate componentry selection. The delivery aesthetics of such systems are not only equally important as to the performance desired, it is essential for the target application. The influencing factors of product development and performance optimization will be explored.

Biography David Streuli has over nineteen years of experience in the formulation, development, and optimization of personal care products. He has contributed to enhancements in product performance evaluation and measurement, new innovations allowing for enhanced attribute expression and analysis, and the exploration of properties and benefits of new and existing polymer chemistries and additives.

The Prospect of Personal Care Products Minus Polymers Robert Y. Lochhead and Misty Shows

n December 2015, the U.S. Ban on plastic microbeads was signed into law. Pressure is now mounting to enact a ban on many polymers that are included as ingredients in personal care products. The reasoning behind such a ban derives from the concern that polymeric ingredients go ‘down the drain’ and enter the environment. A recent United Nations Environmental Program fact sheet entitled, “Plastic in Cosmetics,” seeks to expand the definition of microplastic to many polymers used in formulation, such as polyethylene waxes, polyurethanes, polyacrylate thickeners, acrylates copolymers, and silicone resins. The Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) acknowledges that microplastics have been identified as a global environmental problem and have been shown to affect aquatic life. In a letter report, RIVM attempted to define microplastics by specifying their physicochemical properties and addressing the three questions: • Is the material a microplastic? • Is it a microplastic that persists in the environment? • Is it likely that aquatic organisms are exposed? (Continued on page 16)

(Continued from page 15)

It appears that the Netherlands is taking a carefully considered approach, but this might not be the case for other countries. Therefore, in light of the recent history of plastic microbeads, it is possible that laws banning such polymeric ingredients could be enacted. We have posed the question, “Are such ingredients really hazardous to the environment, ecology, or human health? The prospect of a ban on polymers in products that eventually go ‘down the drain’ has prompted us to investigate the environmental fate of such polymeric ingredients. We have attempted to answer the question by carefully reviewing the written evidence from the scientific peer-reviewed literature, the press, the media, and web sites of governmental and non-governmental organizations in order to critically judge the evidence. We have also considered and tried to deduce the form in which these ingredients could enter the environment after formulation, use by consumers, and eventual removal by means that would destine then to ‘go down the drain.” The results of our investigations and deductions to date (April 2016), will be revealed in this presentation.

Biography Robert Lochhead, Ph.D. currently serves as a professor at the School of Polymers and High Performance Materials at the University of Southern Mississippi. He was Director of that School for about the last twenty years. Prior to joining academia, the first twenty-five years of his career were spent in industrial research that ranged from polymer and silicone synthesis to colloid and surface science and to the management of a large hydrophilic polymers research group. Dr. Lochhead is the author of more than a hundred scientific papers and reviews, and a named inventor on 24 patents. The polymers that he has invented have enabled new and better technologies with beneficial societal and environmental impact.

Shampooing and Conditioning: Not just for Cleaning, but for Delivering… Where Do You Start? Joseph Dallal

n today’s modern world of hygiene practices, the shampoo cycle isn’t just for stripping the hair and scalp. The shampoo cycle is a preparatory cycle for the entire styling regimen. A couple of key targets or results are the wetting of the cortex and ‘re-conditioning’ of the cuticle surface. In the process, there are many factors that formulators can influence: texture in the bottle, application and distribution textures, flash foam (low to high), and texture of individual bubbles as well as the overall mass of bubbles/lather through the rinse cycle, towel drying, and finishing. Within that development of clear to opaque emulsions, we can create varying degrees of effects from stripping through deposition via coacervation, harsh through mild. Whether you are the formulator or the project leader, marketing director, purchasing agent, supply chain representative, microbiologist, or advertising designer, the conundrum is still the same: Where do I start? How do I start? What do I start? How do I know I finished? Just like a good story, you have beginnings, middles, and ends. But, as any good book or movie goes, there are those twists of fate, multiple characters, plots that thicken, and all those red herrings that lead you astray. Working as a team could augment closing the gap from point ‘a’ to ‘b’ and get the product out the door to those consumers who need your product. It is a concert of action that creates and moves a product from concept to performance at the consumer level, whether you are a one-person company or an R&D and marketing team composed of many individuals.

Biography Joseph Dallal got his start in his Mother’s Beauty Salon, teething on perm rods and clippies. He started cooking for the family at twelve years old and made perms and shampoos at seventeen years old in the salon dispensary. After passing the state board exams and receiving his cosmetology license, he worked his way 16

Modern Solutions for Preservation Steve Herman

preservative system must be safe, stable, effective, and economically viable. Combinations of ingredients are often needed to create the necessary efficacy. Synergistic effects with preservatives and solvents can produce excellent results. The most common glycols used as preservatives are pentylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol glycol, and caprylyl glycol. They can exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and reduce the irritation of conventional preservatives. Ethyl lauroyl arginate HCl, ethylhexylglycerin, and hydroxyacetophenone are interesting modern preservative options. Essential oils have inherent strong odors, which may limit their broad application, but used judiciously (in addition to other methods) they may enhance preservation efficacy. A natural product of fermentation, ε-polylysine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with good antibacterial activity against bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. Knowledge of available water and the application of Hurdle Technology can make preservation more effective by rendering the overall product less susceptible to microbial contamination. Product type, pH, packaging, glycols, and chelation are some key variables for the Hurdle approach.

Biography Steve Herman is President of Diffusion LLC, a consulting firm specializing in regulatory issues, intellectual property, and technology development. He has been an Adjunct Professor in the FDU Cosmetic Science Program since 1993, teaching the Cosmetic Formulation Lab and Perfumery. Steve was a columnist for GCI Magazine for seventeen years and has written a book, Fragrance Applications: A Survival Guide. His SCC activities include service as Chairman of the New York Chapter in 1992 and 2013, election to Fellow status in 2002, and instructor in the Continuing Education Program.

Thinking Fundamental and Integrity Aspects of Formulation Stability Eric Abrutyn

hat is stability for cosmetics and OTC cosmetic drugs? Stability testing is simply an experiment in which you create a batch of your formula and place samples at different environmental conditions for a set period of time. These conditions vary in temperature, humidity, and light levels and are meant to simulate, or predict, what will happen to the product during its life cycle. In general, personal care and cosmetic product stability testing ensures that novel or modified products meet physical, chemical, and microbiological quality standards. Other than over-the-counter cosmetic drugs (e.g., antiperspirants, sunscreens, etc.), there are no regulated protocols for stability testing globally. There are a number of prescribed guidelines on what constitutes proper stability testing. But in the end, the key responsibility is to have written protocols on how to run the testing, who is responsible for the protocol and results interpretation, how equipment is standardized periodically, and how it is interpreted and recorded. During this short presentation we will explore what stability is, how to implement it properly in an organization, the best conditions to understand integrity as a measure of stability over time, safety, and (Continued on page 18)

Utilization of Sensory Markers in Dermatocosmetics Samuel Shefer

n this presentation, we will discuss novel concepts that drive consumer perceptions of efficacy, such as combining the long-term benefits from collagen boosting peptides with the instant perception of a dermal filling polymer and a cooling agent. This combination is crucial to ensure that the consumer remains compliant in using the material long enough for the collagen-boosting peptide to have an effect. In practice, the sensory experiences of firming and cooling validate the consumer perception, ultimately increasing compliance. We will cover the most effective and appropriate ways to incorporate captivating consumer experiences, such as cooling/warming, fragrance bloom, and instant color-changes, into your product line to enhance consumer compliance.

Adaptive Active Delivery Mark Chandler

here were many basic principles brought forth by Dr. Johann Wiechers with regard to Formulating for Efficacy™. In the estimation of many, none more important than the reality that solids diffuse more slowly than liquids into the skin, on the order of 10,000 times. So, the search for suitable solvents for actives should ensue. This can be an arduous task, but can be made easier by computer modeling. In turn, once solubility of an active is attained, then engineering a ‘driving force’ to the system can be undertaken. Once formulation parameters are defined, then permutations can be tested. The aid of computer diffusion simulation can save much time. From there, actual diffusion studies can be undertaken, then on to clinical trials. Gone should be the days when an active is placed in a standard base, then straight on to clinical studies (or to the market.) Careful consideration of formulation, tailored to the specific active, should become the rule rather than the exception.

Formulating Lamellar Gel Network Based Oil-In-Water Emulsions George Deckner

amellar gel network based oil-in-water emulsions are the most common skin care and hair conditioner formulations sold globally, and one of the most important technologies used by most formulators. They consist of combinations of low and high HLB crystalline surfactants that can thicken water, emulsify oil, and suspend solids. The emulsion is stabilized by lamellar bilayers of surfactants and water surrounding the oil droplets. These systems have viscoelastic rheological properties and shear thin when applied to skin.

Biography George retired in June 2013 after working at Procter & Gamble for twenty-six years in personal care and product development. While at Procter & Gamble, he worked in skin care product development, global fragrance development, and most recently, oral care technology development.

Skin Toxicology for Cosmetics – Risk Assessment of Skin Exposure New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center 97 Sunfield Avenue, Edison, NJ Presentations from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This event will be held at the Suppliers’ Day event in the tent adjacent to the luncheon.

Symposium Chair: Nava Dayan

Program description:

he cosmetic and personal care industry underwent key changes in the past decade to advance regulations and guidelines for safety assessment of consumer products. While regulations are slowly implemented in practice, the methodical technical process of risk assessment is limited and the completion of a “check list” often replaces it. The regulatory framework creates the perception that “safe” products can be launched if certain studies are conducted. However such an approach generates only partial acknowledgement of the limitations of the studies, science involved, and selection of a tier approach that is logical, based on the intended use, and is scientifically savvy. The animal testing ban dictates that risk assessment should be followed by in silico evaluation and a tier of in vitro or ex vivo testing. While refraining from animal testing adds challenges, it opens up opportunities for better understanding of mode of action and allows us, in many cases, to conduct the studies on more relevant human derived cells and models. Many regulatory guidelines express the need to employ experts in risk assessment of raw materials and finished formulations. Such practice can be faster, cheaper, and business rewarding. This workshop is established to discuss general aspects in risk assessment of skin care products combined with examples of specific studies and initiatives of key national organizations and companies. National leaders in Toxicology are joined to share recent knowledge and address questions and concerns of industry members.

oxicology in the 21st century is confronted by challenges such as mixture toxicology, susceptible subpopulations, new products, and hazards as well as transparency. Current traditional (animal) tests have several limitations to tackle these objectives including costs, throughput, human relevance, and animal use. The National Research Council report, Tox-21c, suggests moving away from these traditional test methods to modern technologies based on toxicity pathways. This report emphasizes the need for new high content and high throughput approaches, such as omics techniques, organotypical cell cultures, machine learning, and mathematic modeling. These concepts are already used in a number of programs by federal agencies, human-on-chip programs, the Human Toxome project, efforts for translating evidence-based medicine to toxicology, etc. The Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) at Johns Hopkins is one of the groups involved in these developments. This presentation will give a summary of the overall activities in the field combined with illustrations of proof-of-principle work at CAAT.

Biography Dr. Hogberg received her Ph.D. from Stockholm University, Sweden in 2009. Her experimental work was performed at the European Center for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM), Joint Research Center, European Commission in Italy. Her thesis work consisted of developing alternative tests for developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) by monitoring gene expression and electrical activity recording. Together with Dr. Hartung, she started the current laboratory at the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) as a Postdoctoral Fellow. She was later promoted to a faculty position and later to Deputy Director of the Center. Her current research activity is still in the field of DNT with the use of emerging tools, such as 3-D organotypical cell models and omics approaches.

Cosmetic Claim Substantiation Workshop Science, Marketing, and Regulations September 6, 2016 Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel Weehawken, NJ

Symposium Chair: Nava Dayan, Ph.D.

anufacturers of raw materials and finished cosmetic products conduct topical human exposure studies with the aim of drawing consumers through appealing claims. Market competition often drives aggressive campaigns that may be confusing and misleading, compounded by studies which may be poorly designed and executed, and scientific data which could be incorrectly interpreted. In recent years, cosmetics manufacturers have come under increased scrutiny from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for advertising claims. The advertising industry’s self-regulatory forum, the National Advertising Division (NAD), further examines truth and accuracy of national advertising claims. With the skin care industry striving to produce safer products, it should also focus its scientific resources towards better testing regimens demonstrating a product’s efficacy, which can support advertising claims. Establishing common criteria to support advertising claims is challenging given that claims are driven by the testing on an individual product. This workshop brings together experts from the industry and regulatory world to provide guidance on sound scientific practices and demonstrate how to ensure advertising claims match the underlying science.

Program Agenda 9:30 – 10:30 a.m.
