Abstract(s)
O presente relatório foi realizado no âmbito da unidade curricular “Estágio” do Mestrado
Integrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas. É constituído por dois capítulos que
correspondem à vertente de investigação e à experiência de estágio em Farmácia
comunitária.
O capítulo I aborda o estudo de cosméticos comercializados em Portugal e intitula-se de
“Produtos cosméticos anti-estrias: estudo de mercado”. O objetivo desta investigação foi
efetuar um estudo de mercado dos cosméticos anti-estrias comercializados em
Farmácias, Parafarmácias e Hipermercados do território português, analisando não só a
lista de ingredientes, mas também as alegações quer das embalagens quer dos sites.
Recolheu-se um total de 35 produtos cosméticos de 22 marcas diferentes. Após esta etapa
concluída, foi feita a análise das seguintes informações: pessoa responsável, marca, nome
comercial, lista INCI, ingredientes ativos, alegações presentes na embalagem, alegações
presentes no site, estudos de eficácia realizados e tipologia de local de venda. A maioria
(74%) dos produtos foram formulados para grávidas e/ou puberdade, sob a forma de
óleos (43%) e cremes (34%). Apenas 3 produtos foram concebidos como multifuncionais
(uso para outras marcas e cicatrizes além de estrias) e apenas 43% mencionaram a
frequência adequada de aplicação (principalmente duas vezes ao dia). Verificou-se que
91% continham ingredientes de origem vegetal pela sua atividade ao nível da emoliência,
ação direta na regeneração e nas fibras de colagénio. A combinação de ingredientes ativos
foi encontrada em 22 produtos mostrando a importância do efeito aditivo/sinérgico para a
eficácia. As alegações são suportadas por ensaios clínicos para 20 produtos (57%).
Entre estes, 10 não especificam a população do estudo, enquanto 8 foram testados entre
gestantes. Verificou-se que os produtos comercializados em farmácia combinam mais
ingredientes ativos e apresentam mais estudos clínicos do que os encontrados em
supermercados. Este estudo permitiu recolher informação que suportará o
desenvolvimento de novos produtos anti-estrias com características diferenciadoras das
do mercado existente.
O Capítulo II refere-se à minha experiência de estágio em Farmácia Comunitária
decorrida na Farmácia Lopes em Viana do Castelo entre 6 de fevereiro e 23 de junho de
2023, sob orientação da Dra. Sara Sobreiro.
This report was written as part of the "Internship" course of the Integrated Master's Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. It consists of two chapters corresponding to the research aspect and the internship experience in a community pharmacy. Chapter I deals with the study of cosmetics sold in Portugal and is entitled "Anti-stretch mark cosmetics: market study". The aim of this research was to carry out a market study of anti-stretch mark cosmetics sold in pharmacies, parapharmacies and hypermarkets in Portugal, analyzing not only the list of ingredients, but also the claims on both the packaging and the websites. A total of 35 cosmetic products from 22 different brands were collected. After this stage was completed, the following information was analyzed: responsible person, brand, commercial name, INCI list, active ingredients, claims on the packaging, claims on the website, effectiveness studies carried out and type of sales location. Most products (74%) were formulated for pregnancy and/or puberty, in the form of oils (43%) and creams (34%). Only 3 products were designed as multifunctional (use for other marks and scars in addition to stretch marks) and only 43% mentioned the appropriate frequency of application (mainly twice a day). It was found that 91% contained ingredients of plant origin due to their emollient activity, direct action on regeneration and collagen fibers. Combination of anti-stretch marks ingredients was found in 22 products, showing the importance of the additive/synergistic effect for efficacy. Claim substantiation through clinical trials was identified for 20 different cosmetics (57%). Among these, 10 do not specify the study population, while 8 were tested among pregnant women. It was found that products sold in pharmacies combine more active ingredients and have more clinical studies than those found in supermarkets. This study made it possible to collect information that will support the development of new anti-stretch marks products with differentiating characteristics from those on the existing market. Chapter II refers to my internship experience in Community Pharmacy, which took place at Farmácia Lopes in Viana do Castelo between February 6 and June 23, 2023, under the guidance of Dr. Sara Sobreiro.
