A deep understanding of how skin products work is essential for cosmetic skincare, not only to ensure regulatory compliance, but to demonstrate efficacy, safety and quality for end users. Advances in technology have allowed for more precise and accurate data collection and measurement. Confocal Raman Microspectroscopy (CRM) provides a powerful, non-invasive tool for analyzing skin composition and function.
In this complimentary webinar, we will provide an overview of the fundamentals of Raman spectroscopy, demonstrate how it can enable high-precision measurement of water content, show the distribution of different molecules such as barrier lipids and natural moisturizing factors (NMF), and measure how active ingredients penetrate the skin. Standard parameters for skin hydration and barrier function will be explored, together with an illustration of how using new CRM techniques and measurements that go beyond these traditional methods can improve product performance and offer stronger evidence for marketing claims.
Expert presenter Natascha Hennighausen examines applications in penetration studies, including caffeine penetration for barrier assessment and bioequivalence studies in line with European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines.
We offer innovative dermatological research methodologies, allowing for new testing parameters such as differentiation of free and bound water, barrier resistance and lipid/protein ratios. These cutting-edge techniques enable businesses to leverage the latest technologies, supplying data that can be used for regulatory conformity and competitive marketing advantage.
This webinar is aimed at manufacturers of cosmetic products, raw materials and medical (dermatology) products.
This webinar takes place on March 24, 2026, at 4:00 pm Central European Time.
