COMPULSORY TO COMPLETE COSMETIC CHEMISTRY PART 1 AND 2 BEFORE ATTENDING THIS WORKSHOP

Workshop Overview

This workshop has been designed to take what you have learned in Cosmetic Chemistry Stage 1 & 2 workshops and apply it to a section of the market that is diverse, interesting and lucrative for brand owners. This hands-on course explores the many different types of cleansers on the market from Castile Soap to oil-to-milk technology, Cream washes, Gels, Foams and Micellar waters. We explore what it takes to remove different types of dirt from the skin and work together to create some exciting formulations based on your choice of exfoliants, vegetable oils and aromas from our selection.

Please note that this is NOT a soap making workshop, we do cover working with Castile soap but not saponification of vegetable oils.

Specific topics covered includes:

  • The chemistry of dirt - Like dissolves like.
  • Pigment wetting for gentle yet efficient cleansing.
  • Polyglyceryl and palm free Chemistry.
  • Creating a self-soaping emulsion.
  • Working with foaming bottles.
  • Working with Castile soap.
  • Formulating for increased mildness.
  • Creating a strong formula story for marketing and efficacy.
