CRODA PHARMA IS HOSTING TOPICAL ACADEMY AT CRODA NORTH AMERICA PRINCETON, NJ HEADQUARTERS!

Croda Topical Academy Day is an immersive, science driven training event designed to bridge formulation theory with real world application.

The day begins with expert presentations on the functional roles of key excipients such as surfactants, emollients, and penetration enhancers. Attendees will gain insight into how excipient properties, such as HLB, polarity and purity influence formulation performance, stability, and skin delivery. The learning experience culminates in a hands on laboratory session, where participants put theory into practice by formulating topical systems using Croda excipients. This practical component reinforces key concepts, allows comparison of formulation approaches, and builds confidence in excipient selection. Together, the classroom and lab elements deliver a comprehensive understanding of topical formulation from concept to creation.

What: Croda Pharma’s Topical Academy 
Where: Croda Inc. 777 Scudders Mill Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540
When: June 16, 2026, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Agenda

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Select appropriate excipients to meet formulation and performance goals
• Evaluate and choose Croda surfactants, emollients, and penetration enhancers based on polarity, functionality, and desired sensorial or delivery outcomes.
• Translate theory into practice through formulation
• Apply learned concepts to prepare and assess topical formulations in the lab, understanding how excipient choices impact stability, aesthetics, and active delivery.
