Course Details

Evaluating aesthetics first establishes a baseline understanding of the product's visual and textural attributes, critical for consumer appeal. Sensory evaluation then provides direct feedback on the product’s feel, smell, and overall user experience, highlighting areas for enhancement. Analysing these sensory results identifies specific aspects needing improvement, guiding targeted adjustments. Finally, recommending suitable ingredients to achieve desired aesthetic and sensory qualities ensures that the product not only meets but exceeds consumer expectations. This structured training sequence ensures a holistic understanding of both the subjective and objective qualities of Personal Care Products, leading to well-rounded and high-quality formulations.
