Natural Products Day – Ingredients Matter
Piscataway, NJ (PRWEB) March 03, 2014 -- The ancient Egyptians knew the value of natural products for the care of 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.”
The Sixth Annual CDR Skin Workshop will focus on the developments in the natural skin care arena. The plenary session address will be by Dr. Miri Seiberg who will discuss how today’s medicines use numerous active agents isolated from botanical sources. The day will focus on presentations by seven other leaders in the field of dermaceutics and skin care. They will discuss their views on the current state of natural ingredients that are used in consumer skin products. There will be a special session for commercial exhibitors.
