Cosmetic raw materials

This module covers all the knowledge on raw materials necessary to work in the cosmetic industry.

These are:

• to describe the different chemical classes of raw materials, to understand the structure/activity relationships as well as the sensory rendering.
• The study of documents related 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 both polymers and polymerization processes will be developed.

The practical part of the module will allow the implementation of major categories of raw materials:

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

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

To position oneself as an executive in the cosmetic industry to acquire scientific and technical knowledge on the raw materials used. To be autonomous in sourcing, choosing and using raw materials for the development of cosmetic products.

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

Knowledge of chemistry at the L3 level

Continuous control integral

The courses are taught by industrialists and teacher-researchers specialized in the field concerned.
