Cosmetic engineering and innovation

In-depth study of the different cosmetic galenic forms: composition, description of the main components, formulation, principle, galenic forms

Study of ingredient families including emollients, esters, emulsifiers, sunscreens, preservatives and innovation in skin care and make-up products

Study of the INCI list of formulations, INCI nomenclatures

Study of the different types of cosmetic companies

Study of manufacturing processes (agitation equipment, complementary manufacturing processes, impact of physical and chemical parameters on manufacturing)

The application will be in different areas.

For example: formulation of moisturizing emulsions with electrolytes (stability disrupting elements), formulation of cleansing milk and cleansing lotion and the implementation of tests to measure the effectiveness of the cleansing, formulation of make-up products.
