30 Days to Become a Better Cosmetic Chemist complete

Give me 30 Days and I’ll Make You a Better Formulator

Perry_profile

Hi there – it’s Perry Romanowski from Chemists Corner.
I’ve been doing the Chemists Corner podcast for a number of years, but recently got this idea to revamp it a bit.  Therefore, I’m starting a new series called 30 days to become a better formulator. In this series we’ll cover six main areas of interest including

  • Cosmetic industry
  • Raw materials
  • Cosmetic science
  • Formulating
  • Product testing
  • Cosmetic chemist career.

The Podcast

For this series on the Chemists Corner podcast, I’ll start cover 30 different topics under those areas of interest and do one every day over the course of a month. Each show will feature one lesson and a challenge at the end to help you put the lesson to use.  You will learn new aspects of cosmetic formulating and…
all 30 days of the podcast are free!

You can subscribe to the series on iTunes – Listening on iTunes is great if you like to listen to podcasts while exercising, commuting or even doing work around the house.

The shows are also hosted here on our site. I’ve listed them out below for your convenience.

Keep in mind – these podcasts are mainly between 10-20 minutes long and each contain an activity to DO to become a better cosmetic formulator.

While they’re all about teaching you something related to formulating & your career as a cosmetic chemist, the people who will get most out of this process spend as much or more time taking action than just listening.
