What will I learn?
You will learn how skin biology and raw material chemistry drive every formulation decision, from emulsifier selection to preservative system design. The course covers surfactant science for cleansing products, active ingredient stability, encapsulation technologies, and colour cosmetics formulation. You will also develop expertise in microbiology testing, regulatory compliance, and claims substantiation. Advanced topics include sustainable formulation, AI-assisted ingredient screening, and sensory evaluation methods. By the end, you will be equipped to take a product from a marketing brief all the way through scale-up and manufacturing transfer.
