Description
This module will allow students to understand the importance of innovation in a sector as dynamic as cosmetics.
This environment is indeed governed by regulatory constraints, innovations in packaging, innovations in formulation but also in ingredients.
This is also governed by the expectations of increasingly demanding consumers.
It is therefore essential for these future graduates to understand the ins and outs of innovation in cosmetics and to know how to implement it while respecting certain criteria.
A project will be proposed to the students: Presentation of the project in group and setting up of the instructions for its realization.
