The course is based on case studies of ingredients in aqueous or fatty phases, and both polymers and polymerization processes will be developed.

The practical part of the module will involve the use of major categories of raw materials:

Use of gelling agents: application, study of their properties, sensory evaluation

Surfactant application: Formulation of a foaming product, including ingredient identification, formula design and sensory evaluation.

To position yourself as an executive in the cosmetics industry, acquire scientific and technical knowledge of the raw materials used. Be autonomous in sourcing, selecting and using raw materials for the development of cosmetic products.

Through the study of raw material categories, MP sheets and the design of formulas: give the keys and reflexes for the use of raw materials.
