Abstract:
The journey to develop and reformulate products to become more sustainable presents many challenges. Research and development in these areas often demand substantial time, resources, and new raw materials. To accelerate this process, predictive modeling offers the potential to identify promising ingredients, formulations, and even new packaging materials that meet the required standards. Virtual testing of cosmetic and personal care ingredients and formulations using computational methods can provide a mechanistic understanding at the molecular level. This allows for a better understanding of how individual ingredients behave, the morphology and stability of formulations, and
their interaction with the target biological surface. Additionally, interactions between products and packaging materials, which are key drivers of shelf-life, can also be explored. Case studies in these areas will highlight the utility of computational chemistry methods in understanding products in development, in their packaging, and in action.
