Cosmetic raw materials

This module covers all the knowledge about raw materials necessary to work in the cosmetics industry.

These are:

• describe the different chemical classes of raw materials, understand structure/activity relationships and sensory rendering.
• Study of documents relating to the marketing of cosmetic raw materials

Hourly volumes:

            CM: 18

            TD: 6

            TP: 16

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

The practical part of the module will enable students to work with the main categories of raw materials:

Implementation of gelling agents: implementation, study of their properties, sensory evaluation

Implementation of surfactants: Formulation of a foaming product with ingredient research, formula design, and sensory evaluation.

To position yourself as a manager in the cosmetics industry, acquire scientific and technical knowledge about 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, the study of MP data sheets, and the design of formulas: provide the keys and reflexes for the implementation of raw materials.
