(micro-Credential) Performing Essential Laboratory Skills

Given that cosmetics often include a mix of natural and synthetic chemicals, it is essential to understand safe ingredient handling to ensure product efficacy and mitigate potential risks. This course addresses the knowledge and skills gap, and equip participants in this area.

What You'll Learn

This course equips participants with an understanding of skin and hair biology which is fundamental in cosmetics, as these products are directly applied to skin and hair. This knowledge is crucial for crafting formulations that are both effective and safe. In the laboratory, hands-on experience with combining various ingredients helps participants develop the skills needed to operate equipment proficiently and mix components precisely. This process involves understanding each ingredient's properties and interactions, ensuring that formulations meet both functional and safety standards.
