CDR 6th Annual Skin Workshop 

The ancient Egyptians knew the value of natural products to care for the skin. They incorporated many locally sourced substances such as bullock’s bile; whipped ostrich eggs and olive oil to create their pharmacopeia of skin care potions. With the increasing popularity of organic foods and naturally occurring ingredients, many skin care manufacturers have begun to label their products as such. Yet, the FDA has no definition for the word “natural”.

Whether these ingredients are: Argan oil, derived from the fruit of a tree that grows in Morocco, or vitamin E-rich oil, or even extracts from licorice, mulberries or from citrus fruits like grapefruit and limes the cosmetic and skin-care industry is incorporating them into new products for the consumer.

The Sixth Annual CDR Skin Workshop will focus on the developments in the natural skin care arena and allow attendees an opportunity to meet with researchers who are at the cutting edge of this developing field. Please join us to hear how each of our presenters views the current state of the art of natural ingredients used in consumer products.
