The cosmetic chemistry course provides a foundation for understanding the composition, function, and stability of products used in skin care and in-office treatments. The program focuses on the relationship between the chemical structure of raw materials and their biological and technological function in cosmetic formulations.
The training explains how atomic structure, types of chemical bonds, and the physicochemical properties of substances influence the performance, safety, and durability of cosmetic products. The course organizes the knowledge necessary for the conscious analysis of INCI compositions, understanding the role of individual ingredient groups, and assessing the quality of products used in esthetic practice.
