About the Course
Building on the basics of the introductory section, this course takes a deep dive into the Cosmetic Chemist's processes for the development of skin and hair products, based on the biology of the respective structures. It will demonstrate how products are developed based on the specific claims or condition they are looking to address. You will also learn how these products are then tested to verify they are safe, effective, and support the claims they make.
