Theoretical Subjects - Product Science
In this subject you learn to understand what cosmetic products actually contain - and how they work on the skin. Chemistry, Product Science and Ingredient Technology gives you the professional foundation to choose the right products for any treatment.
What will you learn?
- Fundamental cosmetic chemistry and ingredient types
- Emulsions, preservatives and active substances
- How products interact with the skin’s barriers
- INCI lists and product declarations
- Assessing product quality and safety
You learn to read, understand and evaluate product compositions and gain a sharp eye for which products match the client’s needs - and which ones to be cautious with.
Why is it important?
As a cosmetologist, your expertise is closely connected to the products you use. When you understand what is in the products - and how they work - you can advise clients correctly, achieve better results and stand out as a knowledgeable and trustworthy therapist.
Teaching format
The teaching is both theoretical and practice-oriented. You work with specific product lines and ingredient analyses, and you learn to compare and evaluate products critically. The focus is on understanding, so you can communicate your knowledge to your clients in a simple and professional manner.
