Ask the Biochemist: Reading Labels and Understanding Ingredients

Gül Ç. Zone Robert M. Zone Jr., PhD , Bio-medical Director , DermAware Bio-Targeted Skin Care

You want to know the difference between all of the skin care products on the market, and so do your clients. Oil-free, hydrators, peptides, acids, vitamins A, B and C and their many forms, pH, chiral, stereochemistry, extracts, natural, mineral oils and petroleum—these all are words used in skin care today. Understanding today’s skin care language, ingredients and labels not only helps you educate your clients and build professional credibility, but also gives you a great competitive advantage. This class will consist of a mini-slide presentation and also allow you to ask about specific ingredients and technologies. Take advantage of Gül Ç Zone’s expertise and ability to present complex science in easy-to-follow terms. Bring your labels and your questions. (Please come to booth 1201 to sign up as a model.)
