What does TEWL stand for, and what is its significance in skin care?
Transepidermal Water Loss, it's a measure of the amount of water lost through the skin. Higher TEWL indicates a compromised skin barrier, leading to dryness and dehydration.

Study Notes
Cosmetic Ingredients and Formulation
- Consumer insights focus on emotional and symbolic connections between consumers and products, exemplified by Dove's Real Beauty campaign and Nespresso's sustainability efforts.
- Sensory additivity combines sensory stimuli (touch, sight, smell) to enhance product perception, like using blue lights in airports to reduce fatigue or crunchy sounds in potato chips to signal freshness.
- Color psychology utilizes color to evoke emotions and influence purchasing decisions, with examples provided like blue for calmness, red for passion, and green for renewal.
Cosmetic Categories and Forms
- Cosmetic categories include hair care (shampoos, conditioners), skincare (creams, toners, cleansers), makeup (foundations, lipsticks, eye makeup, and body care (lotions, perfumes, bath products).
- Cosmetic forms include liquids, gels, creams, powders, waxes, and aerosols.
- Purpose of cosmetics is to cleanse, beautify, protect, and enhance body appearance.
Key Cosmetic Ingredients
- Base ingredients encompass water (main solvent), oils (provide moisture and texture), and surfactants (cleanse and stabilize emulsions).
- Active ingredients include vitamins, ceramides, amino acids, plant extracts, and those enhancing skin hydration, anti-aging, or repair properties.
- Functional additives include preservatives (for safety), thickeners (for texture), colorants (for aesthetics), and fragrances (to enhance appeal).
Formulation Guidelines
- Shampoo formulations typically use anionic surfactants for cleaning, amphoteric surfactants for gentleness, and silicones for smoothness.
- Conditioners use cationic surfactants for softness and silicones for a silky finish.
- Creams use fatty acids for thickening and polyhydric alcohols for moisturizing.
- Hair waxes and gels use waxes and polymers for hold and styling.
Stability and Safety Considerations
- Products must be non-irritating and safe for prolonged use, stable under varying conditions, and resistant to microbial contamination.
- Examples of standards are Japanese Standards for Cosmetics.
Developing the Consumer Experience
- Multisensory design incorporates touch, sight, smell, and sound to enhance appeal, exemplified by hydrating lotion with visual water sprays.
- Packaging's chromatic color schemes influence consumer trust and preference (e.g., "truth" vs. "lie" designs).
Skin Cleansing Products
- Skin overview details three layers (epidermis, dermis, hypodermis) and accessory structures for the skin.
- Categories include drugs (disease treatment), cosmetics (appearance enhancement), and cosmeceuticals (improvement of function). Skin cleansing removes dirt, oil, dead cells, and prepares skin for further care; it also maintains the healthy barrier function.
- Classification of skin cleansers includes purpose (cleaning, hydrating, or antimicrobial) and form (solids, liquids, semisolids).
Impact of Skin Cleansers on Skin
- Surfactants emulsify oils and remove dirt but may also disrupt the skin barrier, potentially leading to irritation, increased TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss), and other issues depending on the type of surfactant.
Skin Moisturizing Products
- Moisturizers dominate the skincare market, functioning to improve skin quality, restore moisture, and alleviate dryness.
- Some ingredients (e.g., mineral oil, petrolatum, dimethicone) are classified as OTC drugs in the US (based on concentration).
- Moisturizers benefit by maintaining skin integrity and barrier function through hydration, replenishing intercellular lipids, and forming a protective layer.
Typical Ingredients in Skin Moisturizers
- Humectants attract water into the skin.
- Emollients soften and smooth the skin.
- Occlusives create a barrier to reduce moisture loss.
- Rejuvenators enhance skin barrier and provide temporary smoothing.
Additional Ingredients
- Vitamins, peptides, natural extracts, antioxidants, sunscreens, emulsifiers, thickeners, and aesthetic agents ensure stability, texture, and other desirable properties.
Types of Emulsions
- O/W emulsion suitable for oily and sensitive skin.
- W/O emulsion more suitable for dry skin.
- Multiple W/O/W emulsions allow for sustained release of ingredients and compatibility.
Considerations for Selecting Moisturizers
- Formulations consider normal skin (light), oily skin (water-based), dry skin (combination), and sensitive skin (avoiding fragrances/irritants).
- Active ingredients and their homogeneous distribution play a key role in efficacy.
Ingredients Causing Safety Concerns
- Fragrances, lanolin, urea, and propylene glycol are potential allergens and irritants.
Special Skin Concerns: Sun Care Products
- UV exposure has short-term effects (redness, irritation) and long-term effects (wrinkles, skin cancer).
- Sun protection basics include using products with incorporated UV filters.
- SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates the protection duration against UVB radiation.
- Broad-spectrum sun protection protects against both UVA and UVB.
Types of Sun Care Products
- Primary sunscreens focus on photoprotection.
- Secondary sunscreens are daily products with added SPF.
- After-sun products help soothe and repair post-exposure.
Formulation and Key Ingredients
- UV filters include physical (e.g., TiO2, ZnO) and chemical (e.g., avobenzone) types.
- Additional ingredients include water-proofing agents, emollients, antioxidants, and thickeners.
- Product forms include emulsions, sprays, sticks, gels, wipes.
Optimizing Efficacy
- Combining UVB and UVA filters ensures broad-spectrum protection.
- Consistent distribution of ingredients ensures performance.
- Using photostabilizers and synergistic formulations improves efficacy.
Colour Cosmetics: Lip Makeup Products
- Lip products, primarily used by women, include options for men focused on hydration and sun protection.
- Anatomy and Physiology of Lips focus on the transition area between facial skin and oral mucosa, the properties of the thin tissue, high tactile sensitivity, and susceptibility to damage.
Types of Lip Makeup Products
- Lipsticks, lip glosses, lip liners, and lip balms provide diverse functions and characteristics.
- Effects on lips include dryness, chapping, and potential herpes reactivation.
Required Qualities
- Lip products should be attractive, long-lasting, non-staining, pleasant to use, and easy to apply.
Typical Ingredients
- Waxes provide structure and stability (e.g., beeswax, carnauba wax).
Formulation Process
- Common processes include pigment milling, melting and mixing, molding, and flaming.
- Variations exist for different lip products.
Common Quality Issues
- Issues like aeration, laddering, sweating, and bleeding can impact product quality.
Evaluation
- Evaluation parameters consider break strength, colour brightness, and moisturizing efficacy.
- Lead content regulations (≤20 ppm) are important.
Packaging
- Packaging materials include cases, tubes, pots, tins, and pencils.
Special Skin Concerns: Focus on Aging & Acne
- Skin aging involves complex biological processes, influenced by both endogenous and exogenous factors.
- Acne vulgaris, common in teenagers and young adults, causes visible symptoms and psychosocial impacts.
- Aging causes visible symptoms and impacts quality of life (QoL).
- Intrinsic aging is genetically determined, while extrinsic aging is accelerated due to environmental factors (such as UV radiation, smoking, pollutants).
- UV light has various types (UVC, UVB, and UVA); penetrates different skin layers; has different impacts and concern areas.
Anti-Aging Products
- Anti-aging products include non-invasive (lifestyle, topical, and microdermabrasion) and invasive (chemical peels, fillers, surgery) treatments.
- Common ingredients include antioxidants, retinoids, and hydroxy acids.
- Aging-related changes include decreased melanocytes, and sebaceous gland size.
Acne Vulgaris
- Acne development involves factors including hormones, diet, hygiene, stress, genetics and microcomedo formation within follicles.
- Types of acne lesions range from non-inflammatory to inflammatory.
- Treatment options include topical (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids) and systemic (antibiotics, hormones, isotretinoin) approaches.
