I want to become a cosmetic chemist. We do not have this form of education in Norway. So, where in the US could I find such school? Thanks.

It’s only CEU who is offering BS cosmetic science in the Philippines. Cosmetic science subject has been already in the curriculum of Industrial Pharmacy in UP Manila. And a new legislation had recognized the inclusion of cosmetic science in BS Pharmacy though it is not yet official as of the present time. Cosmetic scientists in the Philippines come from different fields, pharmacy, chemistry, biochemistry and even chemical engineering.
