About this workshop

These days it seems everything concerning skincare ingredients is controversial. One company claims their products are all natural while another says natural is an ideal that’s not within reach. Clients want us to “go green” but how can we make sure the products we provide truly deliver on this promise? We’re told cosmeceuticals are like drugs in the world of skincare, but does the FDA agree?

What about the ingredients themselves? Is more of an active ingredient always better? Legally, can we even claim an ingredient is “active” in a skincare product? When it comes to vitamins, which ones and which forms are the most effective? Does Vitamin A actually cause cancer like one organization maintains? What are peptides? Are they truly the miracle workers they’re made out to be? Can they really penetrate the skin? Which peptides are the best and how do we know? As for sunblocks, why do we still burn if they’re blocking out the sun’s rays? And do they really cause skin cancer?

To answer these questions and many more, we’ve asked Rebecca James Gadberry – the leading ingredient authority in the professional skincare industry – to explain the facts about some of the most common myths and misunderstandings in our industry. A licensed esthetician since 1977, an award-winning educator and cosmetic chemist who has formulated well over 1200 products, and the chief instructor of UCLA Extension’s popular Cosmetic Science courses for 25 years, Rebecca brings a unique understanding to the world of skincare ingredients. 
Please join us for a full and exciting day of ingredient education. The format is designed for open discussion and Rebecca welcomes the questions you haven’t been able to – or can’t – ask anyone else.
