Cosmetic Science
Ingredient similarity analysis, safety assessment, and performance optimization for cosmetic formulations.
Decision Problems We Address
Cosmetic R&D teams need to balance efficacy, safety, cost, and regulatory requirements
Ingredient Similarity
Which alternative ingredients have similar functional properties to existing ones?
Safety Assessment
What are the toxicity and safety profiles of new or existing ingredients?
Performance Optimization
How can formulations be optimized for performance while managing cost and safety?
Example Workflow
A typical cosmetic ingredient analysis workflow in MedChem
Ingredient Input
Import ingredient data including structure, properties, and regulatory status.
Similarity Analysis
Compute structural and functional similarity to reference ingredients.
Safety Screening
Evaluate toxicity proxies and regulatory compliance flags.
Optimization Scoring
Balance performance, cost, and safety for final ranking.
Typical Outputs
MedChem workflows produce comprehensive decision documentation including:
- Ingredient similarity rankings
- Safety profile assessments
- Regulatory compliance checks
- Performance vs cost trade-off analysis
- Alternative ingredient recommendations
- Formulation optimization suggestions
Limitations
Important to understand what MedChem does not claim:
- Does not replace regulatory testing
- Based on available data and models
- Requires expert formulation review
- Not a substitute for clinical safety studies
