What do all the designer perfumes have in common? All of them have poured millions of dollars into their R&D to create their next sensational fragrance to hit the shelves. Likewise for the beauty and skincare companies who are racing to discover an elixir that could eliminate the effects of aging.
In Perfumery and Cosmetic Science, you will discover the ingredients that go into making your favourite fragrances. Were natural or synthetic raw materials used? You will also be taught to give olfactory descriptions to what you smell.
In addition, you will learn about the basic chemical components of beauty and skincare products from toners to moisturisers and the materials that go into these products. You will also have the chance to formulate your very own toner or moisturiser.
Guaranteed: You will be wiser the next time you purchase your next bottle of perfume or skincare product.
