    About the Course

    Our first course, Introduction to Cosmetic and Skin Care Science, provides a bird's eye view of the cosmetics landscape, from cosmetics’ role in
    human culture and ancient remedies to the present-day multibillion-dollar industry. We aim to give you an overview of the historical, cultural,
    and technological aspects of cosmetic product development. We cover topics such as skin biology, skin conditions and treatments, cosmetic
    raw materials and choice of ingredients, and the scientific principles that drive the creation of a cosmetic formula. You will also get a strong
    sense of how important safety considerations are to ensure the wellness of our consumers.
