About the Course
This hands-on course, the third in the Cosmetic Chemistry series, covers the fundamentals of emulsion and surfactant technologies, and includes a lab component. It draws upon knowledge learned about skin and hair biology to begin translation into full product development. Strategies to ensure a scalable, stable, and marketable product will also be discussed.
Lectures and discussions are held online. This course also features an in-person lab, held over one weekend on UCR’s main campus in Pierce Hall.
