Product Development and Formulations for Personal Care Science
This course is intended to be a follow-on for students who have taken the Fundamental course or who have prior work experience in the personal care industry. It is divided into two main cosmetic categories: - “rinse-off and leave-on” products. Hands-on projects will enable the students to practically apply cosmetic science into the formulation of many products adopting the mindset of the cosmetic science formulator, not the empirical formulator.
The course will discuss key raw materials, main technologies, and the composition of a large number of products. It will follow the steps of the development process of a cosmetic product from the selection of the raw materials to composition reasoning, preparation on the bench, specifications, stability testing, etc. There will be hands-on training on the sensorial assessment of skincare products, and hydration measurements using electrical impedance.
