All Cosmetic Chemistry Basics courses

This module introduces students to the foundational principles of cosmetic science. They will learn about key ingredient categories—emollients, surfactants, emulsifiers, humectants, preservatives, and active compounds—understanding their functions in product performance and safety. The course also covers pH balance, formulation stability, regulatory considerations, and how formulation decisions impact texture, wearability, skin compatibility, and shelf life. This knowledge equips makeup artists with a deeper understanding of product selection and ingredient awareness.
