Course Description

Enhance performance and deliverable benefits of your surfactants with synergistic combinations and understanding the basic science that influences properties and applications.

With expert guidance, Eric Abrutyn, this course will take you through the basic physical and chemical properties, translate these properties into workable optimized utilization. For each of the four (4) key attributes (anionic/cationic/nonionic/amphoteric) ingredients, examples will be discussed along with some basic combinations for maximized performance.

Eric Abrutyn is a graduate of New York University-New Paltz with a Masters in Chemistry and of C.W. Post College/Long Island University with a B.S. in Chemistry.

He has over 45 years of experience in the personal care cosmetics industry. Eric is a member of the Technical Advisory Board and past-contributing editor for Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine. He is also contributing author and instructor for SpecialChem, and is a 20 yr member (and past chair) of the International Nomenclature Committee (INC)—part of Personal Care Products Council’s (formerly CTFA).

Eric has actively participated in the Society of Cosmetic Chemist for over 40 years, serving as Chair of Midwest and Ohio Valley chapters, Area II Director, Editor of New York Cosmetiscope, and various positions at the local and national level.


In 2009, Eric Abrutyn established a consulting firm – TPC2Advisor’s Ltd., Inc., utilizing his extensive and diverse experience to focus on supporting clientele in the areas of-

  • Antiperspirant technology, application, and performance testing.
  • Siloxane technology/applications and replacement products.
  • Skin and hair care formulation and product performance testing, and technology/marketing assessment.
  • Personal Care Cosmetic labeling with specific emphasis on INC nomenclature and registration, and Technology Strategic planning and Ideation.
  • Strategic communication to clients and customers

    Besides working as Senior Principle Scientist for Kao Brands, Eric has worked for Dow Corning as a Senior Technical Service Scientist in the field of silicone chemistry, and Wickhen Products as Director of R&D in the field of antiperspirants, esterification, spray drying, free-radical polymerization, and controlled release. He has contributed broadly in the fields of hair care research, skin care product development & underarm product development.

    Eric holds over 15 patent; he is contributing editor/author for 4 book; teaches courses in siloxane technology & application, and antiperspirant/deodorant technology, application & and product performance. He is author of many technical articles, and numerous presentations in the field of antiperspirants, polymerization, controlled release, and silicone applications.

Why should you view this course?

Most cosmetic ingredients contribute to surface activity and most cosmetic formulations and utilize a surface-active agent (example, solubilization, dispersants, cleansing, wetting, controlling viscosity/rheology and stabilization, emulsification, foaming and foam boosting)
The challenge is understanding which ingredients to use in an application and how to choose from the myriad of reported surface-active agents.
The key is to understand the basic physical and chemical properties that include the four (4) key attributes overlaid with their hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic (HLB influencing cloud point and temperature) properties. Join this course to:

  1. Develop a basic understanding of the subject dealing with surface active agents (surface tension and intermolecular force affecting the physical stability and final functional benefits)

  2. Understand the breakdown classification of surface-active agents of different types of chemical classes to understand how they can be used separately and synergistically

  3. Utilize surface active properties to demonstrate how they can practically be utilized to develop specific formulations.

  4. Ease your selection of ingredients with a clear review of their functional performance.

  5. Enhance surface active properties and learn how to objectively assess performance.

Who should join this course?

  • Ingredient manufactures’ looking to develop new and novel surface-active agents and synergistic combinations to meet one or all the properties that this functional class of physical chemistry provide

  • Formulators looking to develop products that most likely require surface active functionality.

  • Group, Brand leaders, Marketers who need to understand the benefits and how to communicate to the customer/consumer with the value-added benefits.

  • This course is suitable for beginner level proficiency
