Lovely
Really good information as an overview of cosmetic industry. it helps me to make a wise decision which is suitable for me in my next career. however, i dont have any certified in cosmetics or chemistry related course. for me i have a strong passion in chemistry and cosmetics is a great way to start. i stop learning chemistry after i graduate from secondary school, get into a course which is not so much of my choice. as a working adult with years of working experience i didnt get a chance to be in chemistry or any science related jobs of my choice. went for interviews but no luck. fighting for survival and getting a job of my dreams is really hard in my country. hoping to switch career soon and continue study chemistry. wish me luck for my future.
Do you have a copy of the script?
Sorry, I don’t yet have transcripts of the lessons.
Thanks Perry for the great information on cosmetics, your teaching really explained the wide range of cosmetics industry, I really appreciate your information,
But let me quickly inform you that am interested in cosmetics formulating course but I don’t have full knowledge of chemicals, what’s your advice to me?
Thanks

I want to own my own testing house, can you be more detailed about what is done at a testing house? Can you be a formulator at a testing house..if so, what do you do if your run out of ideas for research? Also, the testing done at a testing house, is it the same as Research and Development?
This was a very informative video. I wish I knew about this when I was younger and in college. I would have maybe looked into this as a career. Please keep providing information.
Very informative video,Waiting for the next one! Thank you!!
Thank you very much for the information!
Thanks for the great information. Very useful.
I wish they had shown that to us when I was in beauty collage it would have been helpful.
I felt that the scope was quite comprehensive and easy to understand.good graphics and easy pacing. my only thing was your reference to face painting as just a women thing struck me as being a bit behind the times on the street. you would be well enlightened to know that many straight men in business not related to Hollywood use make up its a market yet untapped in this country to its fullest extent….maybe some day. but that not being my point. .which is I look forward to the next one even as I follow on youtube . thank you
Very informative about the industry as a whole.
Great introduction, wish I had seen it when I first started looking into the industry. I am still not certain of just what the analytical department does, though.
Very informative . Thanks a lot !
Thank you for your presentation it is very useful to have a global idea.
excellent presentation, I’m interested in making my own products, at the moment I am researching information to give me a better understanding of the industry I want to get into. thanks so much for sharing, looking forward to the next one.
thanks very much
Thank you so much for that video. I did a chemistry degree but I have found it very difficult to see the applications. I thought I would have a look more into Cosmetic Chemistry and you are providing the taster that I really need. Thank you for breaking down exactly where it is best to start out and what role would suit particular types of people. I love Chemistry and problem solving, so the lab is where I need to be
The presentation is very clear and useful. Thank you!

Thanks for the wonderful information. Looking forward to the next video
Hi Perry,
Very good presentation for me who is new in the cosmetics industry. One question please: What is the good concentration (in %) of ethanol to put in cosmetic for preservation? Thanks in advance.
You would need at least 20% ethanol to work as a preservative in a system.
Thank you for sharing this material, it´s exciting.
Nice
Fabulous job per thanks a lot

Thank you for the presentation. Informative and useful. Appreciate the sharing.
I enjoyed this first video of the Cosmetic Science mini-course and am looking forward to the next segment. Thanks very much!
very educative. Thanks for that presentation.
Was interested in the content. It was however lacking some words definitions that I had to go google. Unfortunately, I am unable to download the presentation slides. I crashes my browser. Could you fix the link please?
Try right clicking on the link and choosing ‘save as’ to download the slides. The link works for me so I don’t know how I would fix it.
That worked. Thank you!
Thank you for your general information in cosmetology, and waiting for the next lessons, to promote them as a chemical in organic synthesis in this new world of cosmetics
Thank you very much for the video. It is very informative.
Thanks Perry! That was a good one. I never knew cosmetics industry was this wide. This is insightful and will help me in a lot of ways
Very nice introduction! Loved it ! Looking forward to work in cosmetic industry! Currently perusing biochemistry with molecular biology and biotechnology 🙂
Thank you for this video which is very clear and informative. As a student in chemistry engineering with a specialty in formulation, it helps to see the whole possibilities in this field. It is also really interesting to see the differences between USA and EU (as french) ! Thank you and looking forward to see the next video !
Thank you for this introductory lesson. Looking forward to the next.
Awesome! Glad to have found this ‘corner’.
thanks Perry, very comprensive and informative. I am looking foward the second part.
Very informative. Thanks!
Thanks for the resourceful and very scarce information you put out there for folks like us Perry. I sure give a very good overview of the industry while providing directions on where we can be led to in the cosmetic industry.
Thanks again.
Very informative and well presented. Looking forward to the next video.
This video and the whole page is really amazing, I admire you for sharing your knowledge with us, it is very useful and helps a lot. I especially enjoyed learning about the differences between cosmetics in Europe and cosmetics in America, as I´ve been dealing only with European legislation and stuff so far.
Very informative. I look forward to the next lesson
I find that careers in the cosmetic industry are not something that is talked about often. The way I discovered cosmetic science was by simply asking myself the question, “Who makes my products?” After searching for answers, I found out that there is not a lot of readily available information on how to get a job as a cosmetic scientist. Most of the useful information I found was by Cosmetic Corner or The Beauty Brains. This presentation showed me that there are actually many different jobs in the industry. My favorite job to have out of all of them would definitely be a formulator. Thanks for sharing all this basic information!
Oops, meant “Chemist Corner” not “Cosmetic Corner”
I had no idea no much went into the cosmetic industry!
Great video!Awesome presentation and very vital information to start my dream career.
I received my bachelor and master in one of the only 2 universities which have their own cosmetic research center in China. Before joining this course, I was kinda confident with my previous knowledge from school and my internship. To be honest, I registered for this course to help me learn English vocabularies in cosmetics formulation. But to my surprise, I think my previous knowledge only covers about 40% of the information introduced in this course. There is still quite a lot to learn. If someone spends time on what Perry introduces and have more insight into them, I believe he/she is able to handle this job more smoothly.
Nice and very informative presentation. Helped me to understand that cosmetics are much more than limited to lipsticks or eye shadows 🙂 Thanks for the presentation. Looking forward for more videos.
Nice presentation for a new entrant to cosmetics industry.
I was suprise that soap in the US is not part of the Cosmetics categories while here in the Philippines, soap is very much considered as Cosmetics and they very strict to those engaging in the soap industry.
Thank you, Perry, for a solid presentation.
The fact that deoderant is a cosmetic, & anti-perspirant is classified as an O.T.C. drug is a good illustration of the specifics of the Food & Drug Administration’s regulatory purview.
Thanks for including me in your course. Best regards-
I really liked the presentation! It was extremely helpful especially the part of which are the jobs that you can find in the cosmetic industry. ?Can’t wait for the rest of the videos 🙂
As always, I learn something new every time I watch you Perry. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
My recent foray into making my own vegan mascara has piqued my interest into the whole process of making cosmetics. I found your video to be informative and pleasantly delivered. Be honest, that rocker pic is really you right?? Hahaha. Seriously though, I’m looking forward to the next video. Thanks Perry!
Thank you for the video. Now, I can make a difference between the different chemist jobs in the cosmetic industry and choose what suits me best.
Nice introduction, l appreciate your kindness. Good job.
I am new to the industry, so I found this video very informative. Thanks!
Very informative! Looking forward with the next lectures
I found the differences in definition of a cosmetic very interesting as the world becomes more of a global market. I also found the market sales information enlightening.
This is Awesome
Dear Sir, I highly appreciate your effort in delivering your knowledge and experience to make us a formulator chemist.
Very nice and well organized presentation. Good introductory information about the industry. The section about careers as a cosmetic chemist looks to me more like an orientation to college students in their senior year of chemistry. Though it does not hurt, it might be worth to identify it as such (just my opinion and I might be bias due to my years of experience as chemist …). In general, a very refreshing talk; sweet, short and straight to the point.
i need ur help… please tell me how to detect the percentage of ammoniated mercury in raw material and also in finished product i.e cream….
thankyou perry thanks for the informative video tutorial
Very informative! Looking forward with the next lectures 🙂
Nice article thank you so much
Thank you that is very informative as all your lessons
that was great and very informative thank you so much I really like to be a formalator because I love making hair and skin products by my self herbs natural oils always inspire me
I enjoyed this video and look forward to the others.
This was very helpful! Thank you! I’m looking forward to watching the next one!
Seems not new to me but I find it more informative compared to my previous knowledge about cosmetics.
Very useful for someone who has 0 knowledge on cosmetic chemistry and wants to get started in the right direction.
A very refreshing and an eye-opening lesson on the definition of cosmetics, what is and what is not, job opportunities in the field. It is great.
Lession first is good
Hi
Thanks for breaking down and explaining that cosmetics are more than the coloured stuff woman use on their face . It’s also important that you highlighted different countries each have their own regulatory compliance acts. There are so many jobs opportunities in cosmetic sciences the problem becomes choosing one (or more ).
Decent overview of the industry and what goes into developing a product
Great video! It was a good insight on career options available for persons such as myself seeking to become a part of the cosmetic industry. Looking for to learning more in the series.
Very nicely done, very informative, can’t wait to. View the rest.
Very helpful. It’s a great introduction to the cosmetic industry.
Thank you Perry for clear and precise language. I am not an aspiring chemist, but a makeup artist and freelance consultant for cosmetic houses. I am looking forward to following all your subsequent lessons on color cosmetics and finished goods creation.
Nice presentation much helpful for the beginners like me.I am happy to know all this course.
I consider all information weather considered useful for your needs or not a strong foundation to understanding the “why” within a specific industry. This video is laying the groundwork for those who are discovering for the first time and perhaps reinforcing knowledge for the more advanced or experienced. Much appreciated!!
Thank you sir
It’s very helpful
Watching of this video opened my mind after 10 years studying just pure chemistry at university. I really appreciate Mr Perry’s work.
Great lesson for the industry beginners.
i really do love this video and i enjoyed every bit of it, thank you for this and i love to learn more, thanks.
sir,
i am parag kale, I’m student of final year of b.tech in cosmetics, I’m Indian but I want to do job in out of country then sir what should I do?
and how I prepare for it?
Thanks for the info! Greetings from an organic chemist who is considering joining the cosmetic industry.
Nice presentation much helpful for the beginners like me.
Do you have to be a formulater to just color cosmetics like just work with pigments? I know the job outlook is acquiring a bachelors in chemistry but that’s really all I want to do?
You could have an associates degree and get a job as a technician who would do the actual color mixing of pigments.
thank you so much your mini course lecture was enlightening,
Thank you so much. Your lecture is very helpful for my juniors.
Thank you. It was very helpful.
But I have a question. I would like to know who has better opportunities in a Cosmetic industry, a chemical engineer or a B.Sc/M.Sc in chemistry?
Depends on what type of job you want but there are more BS/MS chemistry people in the cosmetic industry than there are chemical engineers.
Thank you so much. It was really helpful.
I am studying chemical engineering. I was always fascinated by cosmetics . So, It’s nice to know that chemical engineers can work as a cosmetic chemist.
I have a question. Can chemical engineer (who wants to work as a cosmetic chemist) get a job only as a process engineers or do they have other options?
You’ll probably have to start as a chemical engineer but you could probably switch to formulating if you want.
Interesting overview of the industry
The lesson is really interesting and I found it helpful even though I just finished my first year of college. Will surely follow the next ones. Thank you
thank you perry. this video has really reveled the correct path to follow.
Excellent intro video: clear, to the point, all pertinent info. Surprising that you seem to appeal to students/scientists looking for a job in the industry as opposed to just entrepreneurs… I would have liked the presentation to be PowerPoint or even in Word in order to take notes directly on each slide. Now, the question I have not seen adressed… why Perry 44/Ruthenium!?
Thanks for the comments. 44 is just my favorite number & Ruthenium = 44th element
As a formulator, it was interesting to gain insight to the other aspects of the cosmetic industry. Well done as always, Perry.
Hi Perry, your slides are really helpful and informative
Hi Perry, thanks for the overview, very comprehensible.
A good eye opener. Thanks
Hello Perry, very informative video. Can you explain further why more ingredients go into the products of suppliers? You did mention in the video that they are more suppliers than they are manufacturer companies. Thanks.
I’m not sure I understand your question.
I thoroughly enjoyed this first lesson in your mini course Perry. Thank you for your dedication to helping our industry by sharing your practical information and making it an enjoyable experience.
Thanks for mKing this! I wish they had more in the Midwest. I’ve been I went out I’ll be doing the distance-learning masters program. But I still want to look like a very viable candidate because I don’t live in that area and I would have to relocate. That also cancels out experience in a cosmetics lab, which I’ve noticed a lot of employers like to hire
Thank you for creating this video. I am not a cosmetic chemist but am interested in formulating my own skincare products. I find your website very useful and am enjoying the 30 day series that you offer. I am also finding the blog section of Chemists Corner very helpful. Thank you again and I look forward to more videos!
I love this. Perry I really want to learn more as i will be opening my salon and cosmetic line soon.
Great info Perry, I found you a few weeks back and have no real education in cosmetics but have kinda learnt from exploration and research and have a keen interest in developing products. Its been very beneficial to watch this video and I look real forward to getting the next episode watched, your a big help. All the best from sunny England
Thank you for that course. was very informative. now i know some position and career i can have in the cosmetic industry.
I loved this. It helps me when I make my products and gives me an added layer of education to my business. Thank you.
Very insightful Perry. So happy to have found your story when I did, led me to figuring out my next professional move! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the insight on the cosmetics industry. Good foundation for the course.
Much better
Hi Perry, thank you for your usefull lesson. I can get usefull information about Cosmetic market etc. Very interesting lesson ! Thank you
Hi Perry R. You got me hook up to the mini-training videos. Yes! I am looking for to watch the Whole thing. I am into the Industrial Chemist products such as Glass Polishers, ecologic degreasers, and the likes. Not exactly cosmetics, but it is very nice of you the willingness to share knowledge. Knowledge is Power!. And I welcome any opportunity to learn from the “Rock Stars”. Thanks again!
Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you .. excellent presentation!
This was very educational, thank you for sharing your time and your knowledge.
Nelly.
What a wonderful overview of this industry. chemistry is the basic science of life. I have been searching for something new where to apply my chemistry knowledge. Right from secondary school,I loved chemistry,went to study pharmacy and learnt all walks of chemistry. Did Ph.D in medicinal chemistry and feel this is not enough, I have practised pharmacy for over 20 years but really not applying my chemistry. Chemistry is not well understood in practice. When I talk to my fellow pharmacy professionals about the stereochemisrty of drugs, it is as if they have never heard of chirality in Organic chemistry. It makes me laugh and say to myself that I am in a wrong place. Formulation science has not been my friend, but the chemistry behind is my instinct. So I feel that I can integrate my chemistry knowledge into cosmetic industry, since the building block of cosmetic science is all types of chemistry cocktailed with other subjects. This lecture refreshes my calibre with the basics of the industry. I am very grateful to have browsed on this and it is a new challenge for my curiousity.
Best of my regards to the lecturer.
Very enlightening. The all encompassing of the cosmetic industry is very overwhelming. I am just starting to investigate the cosmetic chemistry subject.
Thank you for presenting this forum to us.
I am doing a master in the Cosmetic Industry and I didn’t expect I would learn anything new but I actually did!! thanks for sharing Perry!!
Thanks for the kind words.
Great lesson!
Thank you! I did not realize how much I didn’t know. Thanks also for the books, I am enjoying them as well!

I’m really excited to see your next videos
Thanks a lot !
Good presentation! I have major in biology and currently work in a lab. I am dreaming about opening my natural skin care line some day. So, your blog is very helpful. Lots of useful information!
Great video and insight on “behind the scenes” on cosmetics. Thank you for your presentation. A little late watching it, but I finally did it.
I think it is very kind of you to make this information available to the public giving everyone the right to educating themselves around the world. I am interested for you to go into depth in the following lessons in the actual mixing of all of the ingredients mentioned. and the process of formulation for various products such as foundation chemistry, concealer, face primer, eye primer , etc
Very good presentation. I am waiting for the next one
Very broad and interesting information
Seriously love your teachings! Thank you so much for your time, effort! It’s all very much appreciated 🙂
Thank you so much for this cosmetic video lessons.At first,i wasn’t sure about the meaning of the cosmetic industry.I thought the cosmetic industry only involve formualting and quality control but after watching this video,I realized that the cosmetic offers a lot more than i expected.The video lessons here is very suitable for a starter like me.
Great lesson!!!
Thank you:)
great thanks
Very helpful. Thank you very much.
Great insight into the industry. I am just staring out experimenting making my own cosmetics. thank you so much!
Great lesson, drills right down to what the industry is, the opportunities, and various types of jobs available for scientists. All done in an easy to understand, digestible presentation that gives a clear and concise picture. Value Added!
thank u …
Thank you
The video is really simple and helpful
I’m still studying chemical engineering and thinking to go into the cosmetic industry
Hi Perry,
just watched first video and it thought it had good background info on the industry. I may be just about to get a job with a haircare company, so am looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together, it’s much appreciated.
Cheers, Philip
I really enjoy your video pls am interested in working with any of the big industry were I can show my talent.
I really enjoyed your video. Unfortunately, I’m too old to look at this as a career option, but I really enjoy your blog, your video, and really, everything I’ve viewed so far. Thank you so much.
Think you in formashen
This is a great source of information. I am very grateful for sharing and this video classes are a big plus. I developed interest in cosmetics and definitely this is a great website. Thank you very much
Lourdes
Thank you Perry! This lesson is very informative and useful for beginners who want to step into the cosmetic industry. Look forward to the next lesson.
Liked it. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Many thanks to you Perry for the knowledge sharing you’re doing not only for your co-chemists but as well to others who have interest in cosmetics. This corner will be very helpful to me as i was recently hired to work in a cosmetics laboratory. I have a degree in chemistry but first time to work in cosmetics industry. I’ll keep following your program. More power and God bless.
Very informative lesson. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, it offers a great description of the different job profiles available in the industry.
Very informative for a chemistry major who is exploring career options
Very good site thank you so much for this u don’t know how much you have helped me with your info
Great resource for those looking at further education options or just starting out and looking for some career advice.
I liked very much the video. I am just beginning in cosmetic issues, so all information about that is always very useful for me. I got a pharmacy and biochemist degrees and then I focused my studies towards food chemistry getting a PhD degree. But nowadays, I have redirected my interest in cosmetic industry, specifically in soap and cream for cleaning hands and skin-care. So, I will appreciate any information about that area. Even though, that all is new for me, every recommendation, advice and guidance I will be most grateful.
Thanks very much,
Cristina
Interesting
You really enlightened me area cosmetics. I have a product I’ve developed from 42 years of shaving as a barber. I’m all these jobs rolled into one. Eagerly awaiting next video.
Although I’ve only been a QC/QA analist at a cosmetics manufacturer for a few months, the information presented in these videos are less than new for me. I felt like the information given, was for non-scientist who want to start a cosmetic line, instead of chemists with real bachelor degrees.
We try to make the information appropriate for a variety of levels so it’s difficult to make lessons that are appropriate for every individual. Hopefully, you got some useful information.
Though I am a new comer in the cosmetics industry, I have found the video to be highly informative. Experience gained has gone a long way inform shapening my thoughts. Thanks so much.
The video was alright enough.
This video is very helpful. It introduced the overview very clear. Thanks a lot.
Thx for the video.
It is grate for starting up with the cosmetics.
I am looking forward to next one 🙂

Negar
Nice talk! The information is very useful, can’t wait to see lesson 2. Thank you~
Very informative thanks
Hello, I have been an esthetician for 6 years now. I changed my whole spectrum in work I have done before. I was in Quality Assurance for over 17 years, it was a slow go for a couple of years and I decided to go back to school, now I am really doing what I find interesting, but a little part of me still likes the science of cosmetics, I research (naturally) the products I use for clients and of course suggest what I feel they would need to get the optimal benefits for themselves. I found you educational video great and will keep an eye out for more information!
Thank you,
DeAnn Jackson
It was a very interesting presentation. I am chemist and working in cosmetics industry for a long time. It contains very helpful information about cosmetic industry, specially those who are new in this industry
Thanks very informative
A great help to us beginners in cosmetic production. It illustrates thing to consider, which is very important. If only there was a way to download these lesson videos for future revision. In all ways it is a material of which no money is demanded.Great. Thanks go to whoever prepares this for us.
Sebagala.
I must say I enjoy it…just love chemistry
Very informative. I look forward to the next video!
Excellent presentation, clear information, very well explained in a friendly and easy to understand way. I liked it a lot.
This presentation was amazing. It was very encouraging. I studied a cosmetic science degree and graduated 6 years ago. I did not go into the industry directly but now I am considering doing exactly that.
Hello,
I am enjoying your material. Short and brief yet detailed and fulfilling.
I create my own natural products and based on this lesson, I am a Formulator
I appreciate all your information, as official school is way out of my budget scope.
Well presented info. And helps me to see the general picture of cosmotic industry from the bussiness prospective. Thank you
As an industry veteran, this presentation is encouraging and supportive of my decision to seek out employment in the industry after a five year, self-imposed absence. I especialy appreciate that the presentation offers basic, yet very thorough information. I believe this presentation would be very useful incorporated into secondary and undergraduate science/chemistry programs to help encourage young people especially females, to consider careers in science & engineering. I look forward to the next three modules.
Thank you so much for the lesson.
I don’t get it clearlly the difference between finished good mfg, and contract manufacturer. I thought the contract mfg do the finishing part too.
Best regards,
In some cases they are the same. But the basic difference is that a contract manufacturer produces products for other people while a finished goods manufacturer makes products for its own brand.
Wow! I cant wait for lesson 2
Thank you. Great background information as an overview of the cosmetics industry, very informative.
very informative looking forward to lesson 2 thank you
Great presentation! It was really helpful for me to find out which job I’d like to take in this industry, and I hope I can get there.
Great introduction! I now have a full overview of the industry roles.
Great presentation! However I can’t help but wonder why did you leave Russia blank when talking about global cosmetic market. Are there no statistics for that region?
No statistics that I have access to.
Great, straight forward information. Thank you for the video
pretty great info! cant wait to check out the second video

Thank you very much. I finally found an entrance to the cosmetic industry. The material helps me a lot!
Wow, so detailed! I think i’ve got my place! Really helpful.
thank you very much!
chemist by education and makeup artist by trade,
formulating and manufacturing my own products now,
finding niche for consumer’s who enjoy the cache of
saying they have color/skincare/treatment made by hand,
(hand whipping some emulsions is a bitch) but at a 10,000%
or often more markup it is more than worth the effort,
curious about how many to know your thoughts on independent
all in-house operations, GRAS ingredients, approved pigments & dyes/lakes,
appropriate preservation systems (or just forget water altogether…. can make it easier)
the FDA regulations are not to comply with, nor is maintaining a clean workspace
compared to the dirty fingers used to apply product, now that i have typed all this
i just realized i am still really just a saleman, conviencing new clients to believe my expertise
and buy my products. Thank you for the painful insight and thank you for being articulate, knowledgable and devilishly handsome, it has suited me well.
Awesome! Thank you for all of your time and energy.
Thanks for video. I am almost a PhD in Neuroscience (just finishing it) and I am passionate about cosmetics (a woman I am). It was nice to hear about different job possibilities in and outside the lab. So hopefully I can find a job that will be interesting and pay better than academic science.
Good luck!
very informative lesson. didn’t know all about this. would love to connect with some formulators
I really enjoyed the presentation. What do I have to major in to become a formulator?
Chemistry is best but Biology can work too.
Thank you very much. That’s very informative & now I’ve got much better understanding of the industry 🙂
very good additive for me
very informative
Very great video and informative!
hi perry,
rajesh this side from india. we are manufacturers of herbal cosmetics from 2005. i my self works as a cosmetic chemist. i want to do a short term i.e. 15-30 days course. just for the certification. practically i am in this field from last 10 years. kindly suggest the certificate program any where in the world. it should be regular, not distance.
thanks,

Sorry, I don’t know of such a course.
Very thorough description. Enjoyed and will share. Looking forward to more videos.
This video was awesome! It definitely provided me with a deeper insight to the cosmetic industry. I would recommend this to everyone passionate about cosmetic chemistry.
Very nice.
thanks ,It’s really interesting and useful lesson ,very helpful information and very helpful site .i wait to learn more
Very informative presentation!!
This video does not play in Firefox. This usually means your video plugin code has an error. If you (chemistcorner) change the URL in the shortcode to an absolute link, rather than relative, you should be able to fix it.
I use Firefox and it plays for me. There must be some other issue.
I could not watch or download the lesson
Try to view the web page on a different browser.
thank you for sharing. i didnt know that there are many different jobs in cosmetic industry. a great introduction of what im planning to work as for starters. cant wait for next lesson.
also i wanted to ask whether if organic products are better than the non-organic products in terms of safety, long lasting, improves appearance etc. there have been an increase concern of health issues in putting toxic/safe chemicals in our skin and we are uncertain whether it is safe. i’ve heard that women are more likely to have cancers than men due to using of cosmetic products more frequently. i just want to clarify my doubts. also, please specify which chemical are safe and which are toxic that can be found in cosmetics. i would appreciate any answers given to me.
Thanks for the kind words.
No, organic products are not more safe. It is just a marketing gimmick to get people to pay more money for products. Cosmetics are not causing cancer. There are no compounds that you need to worry about since cosmetic products are safety tested.
Great presentatation, easily catch up for cosmetic industry newbies
The organization and graphics were very well done. Looking forward to the next lesson. Thank you.
Good start. Awaiting #2.
Good start. Awiting #2.
I have started two business and it had taken me months to gather the information
you provided in 15 minutes.
Outstanding. Well done presentation of real information.
.
Very interesting and informative presentation and look forward to the next presentation. I would like to develop some skin care applications and would like to interact with you to seek help in development and formulation of some products which could improve upon the existing products currently available on the market.
I would also like to get in contact with some cosmetic chemists in Pakistan who could help me in actual product formulation.
Gul Muhammad Bawa
Thank you so much for this. Very informative and helpful for those who are starting their career as cosmetic chemists. Looking forward for the next lesson.
Ok, interesting and eye opener thanks
Martins
Thank you for sharing. I found it very informative. I am new to this and want to learn as much as possible. My wife and I own a salon and she creates natural products for her clients. We would like to put something on the market whether it be just for the salon or in in stores. So we have a lot to learn and every little bit helps. We are trying to find a local college or university the has a cosmetic chemistry program. Again thank you.
Thank you so much for this. Very informative and helpful for those who are starting their career as cosmetic chemists. Looking forward for the next lesson.
great intro ! waiting for more info, thank you …
I cannot watch the lesson!!! Message on screen says Invalid Argument?!?
Please HELP.
Michelle
I’d suggest you try a different browser. Or ‘right-click’ on the video and choose ‘save as’. That should work.
Thanks Perry for this informative video.
You mentioned jobs in sales department for cosmetic chemists. Is it the same about purchasing department? I’ve got my M.S. in analytical chemistry and as I speak 3 languages apart from my mother tongue, I have been offered a job as a ‘materials specialist’ in a finished goods manufacturing company, and I am supposed to find new raw materials which can replace some other materials in our formulations, and sometimes I should kinda be in contact with raw materials suppliers, go to cosmetic exhibitions and stuff like that. The job actually falls under purchasing dep. category in the organizational chart of this company. However, this chart ain’t fixed yet, and changes can be applied..
Do you think such job position exists? And is it the right job title? And if yes, is purchasing dep. the right category for it?
Thank you in advance for the answer 🙂
Purchasing isn’t exactly the same as sales. But it would be a great place for a chemist as you will develop an idea of what ingredients could be replacements for other ingredients. The description you give sounds like it’s a technical services job.
Perry
This was very awesome! could you tell me how a cosmetologist would fit into this arena?
Cosmetologists typically apply the products that cosmetic chemists formulate.
Thanx a lot…… It is very usefull……
Great job……..
Really I’m looking forward for next part
Thank you very much….
Wonderful, informative video. Looking forward to the next ones! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the great intro video, cant wait for the next one!
Its a good introduction and a ccomprehensive overveiw
I never in a million years would have thought I’d be interested or even watching anything pertaining to “cosmetics”! I am finding this more intriguing and fascinating, the more I learn, and Learn is the operative words here. Currently I think I am on brain overload. I never had to take chemistry in school, kinda wishing I had now, and coming from the “natural” perspective, I’m seeing things in a whole new light. I only wish other naturalists could be as open minded. Looking forward to learning more!
it’s very useful information… thanks
thanks for all info
So helpful~~! I love it!
hope the minicourse continues
Informative overview of the cosmetic world. Good to know about the differences between the EU and US markets for your company. I feel that portraying being in the lab as a bad thing should actually be less emphasized and the different cosmetic industry roles be more neutral towards each other. We all have our forte’s and those of us in the lab 24/7 are better apt to be there than talking with a customer.
Very informative .. Thanks
Really enjoying the videos. Thank you very much, once more!
Thank you for the information that spans across the cosmetic industry. This helped me learn about the different positions that are available and what type of work environment each position has.
Out of curiosity, I know sales would have the highest payout from all of the possible job avenues but on average, what is the median salary for each position?
It depends on your level of experience and where the job is located but starting for most positions would be about $35,000 / year.
Thanks for the video! I’m from Brazil and here as most of Latin america countries cosmetic definition follows the EU classification.
Thank you so much for all this information. I enjoyed learning about the intro to cosmetics. I did not know what cosmetics really are.
Thank you so much for such an informative presentation. Who would’ve thought that something like a body cream – which you use every morning – could have such a complex journey? I wouldn’t even have been able to define a cosmetic! Looking forward to the next video…
Thank you! Very informative. I especially like your duplicating cosmetics PDF as well. Looking forward to attempting to reproduce a couple of products that are no longer available, with your help it might all come together.
thank you so much, this was really helpful
Awesome! I hope there is a course on shampoos & conditioners. Great information I feel so encouraged to forge ahead in creating my line. Thank you!
Wow! I didn’t realise how diverse the role of cosmetic chemist is. Very helpful video on opportunities available.
Very interesting introduction to the cosmetic industry. Very much looking forward to the others videos. Thank you for this work.
Very good introduction înto the science of cosmetics .
Short but complex.Thank you.
When I tried to view this a message appeared that said “Argument Error – Invalid Parameter Passed to Method”
Thanks for the info. It must be with your system as I’m able to get the video. I’d suggest you try another browser.
A very fitting introduction to the subject matter. Very much looking forward to the science bit!
great!
I have benefited a lot from this lecture I wait impatiently for the next lectures,
many thanks PERRY ROMANOWSKI
Thanks, very good information. Looking at the basics is a good start. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Very succinct and informative. Thank you Perry!
A great general introduction to cosmetic science and the industry in general.
I find this video very useful. By finish this video and working in lab as a biochemistry graduate student, I found my best fit is the formulation scientist. However, do I need to be the QA/QC people to start? I kind of hate the repeative job.
Enjoyed video, good to the point information
Enjoyed the video. Very informative. Thank you for creating such a well thought out production. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
thanks for this valuable and good presentation
so helpful…..it’s like someone accompanies me to the field….feel like I’ve stepped in to it…Thanx a lot..
Thanks for this great presentation. I’ve not considered this before but may now start look into putting my own skincare line together.
Hi Perry, I am from South Africa, I am not at Cosmetic Chemist but co own a Cosmetic Company. I have found your information most informative, Thank you
Thank you for the informative video. It really helped to see the big picture of the industry and where my company fits into it currently and the goals of where I want it to become.
Most informative. I”m a pharmacist and would like to branch out. I’d like to learn the field to do business. Want to start with contract manufacturing with a few basic lines and then later on start something of my own. Thanks, will keep watching!
Very nice job,general knowledge and vivid presentation
it is very great
I joined too late. The video is not available at this time. Slide show was very good and learned quite a bit. Hope to see the video re-posted
Great video and very informative about the different options and faces of the cosmetic industry.You did a good job breaking them down and explaining in detail. I’m looking forward to the next one.
I enjoyed your video, it was very informative. I learned a lot.
God bless you Dr. Perry for expending time and energy to put this together. It is very informative and truly appreciated
This is very informative for those who are interested in the industry but simply don’t know where to start. I really appreciated the time and dedication that you have put into this blog, Thank You Perry !
Kate
Hey! I really enjoyed it, for a simple chemist who wants to introduce herbs in cosmetics, trought organic products, this is very useful (all about cosmetic science).
It is a resorceful introduction.
From a brand new entry level person , this was very informative . Thank you for all the information .
Thanks Perry!! This video is very helpful!
It was very impressive. Thank you.
Hi, I’m happy that know you. thank you for everything especially for “4-lesson series about cosmetic science and the cosmetic industry” I need more information about new cosmetic formulation for example ” anti air pollution shampoo “.please help me
thank you very much
perfect, looking forward more information.
Very informative lesson about cosmetic industry
This is very helpful and general background information of the cosmetic industry, very nice pieces of information!!! Thanks a lot~ Hope there is more video like this in the future.
Thanks Perry. Looking forward to seeing more
Good Intro! Hope to hear more about formulating because that is where my interests is.
Bj
Thank you, Perry for this nice overview of the cosmetic industry, especially for chemists that are new to this field.
Great lesson ! It’s good to know that the Cosmetic Industry is divided and work the same as in Brazil! The only thing diferente is that here the sunscreens and the antiperspirants are considered cosmetic products unlike in the U.S.
Great summon up of the industry! Thank you, cheers!
it tooks me to another world, i really like it… thank you very much
Interesting. I´ve liked the drawing of chemist´s work in cosmetic area
Highly informative yet accessible introduction. Thank you very much for making such a valuable resource available
Thank you,
Very Good Info and usefull specially for beginner.
Regards
Thank you so much for this introduction on cosmetic science. I am looking into a career as a cosmetic scientist and this video was very helpful and informative on the various aspects of the field.
Interesting and informative
Very informative and a great introduction for the people want to get into the cosmetic career.
Hi, my name’s Tu, my major is chemistry but I have no experience in cosmetic chemistry, and I apply for QC position in cosmetic company. So I want to know more about QC (responsibilities, what to do testing quality for lipstick products, applying of HPLC in testing quality…). Would you mind helping me?
This has been really good, and an eye-opener for me. The points were well organised and articulated. Well done.
Informative.
I’m surprised that Western Europe – relatively – spends more on cosmetics than North and South America combined. It would have been interesting to see a comparison between the USA and Western Europe (and more realistic IMHO).
About the differences between legislation in the US and Europe: interesting is that in the EU allergens (of a specified list of 26) should be on the label of each cosmetic article!
That data is from 2008 but it’s probably relatively the same. In general products in the EU are more expensive than those in the US so perhaps that could explain the difference.
Thank you,good job,l like it.
I’m looking forward for the second part.
Very informative , awesome thanks
Thank you for this great introduction video to the cosmetic world
Waiting for the next video
Regareds
Thaks for your introduction!

Sorry. We’ll try to update the software to make it more mobile friendly.
What a great video very informative!
Great lesson! A real eye-opener for someone who wants to be involved in the industry as it shows the wide range of opportunities out there to suit the individuals tastes and interests.
Quite an eye opener on the range of positions available in the industry.
Thank you for good overview of Cosmetics, general.I expect in the next lesson more details. Regards.
Thanks for the lesson. This has a lot of good background and intro information that I didn’t know before. Looking forward to the next part.
Thanks a lot. Now I am a freshman and I study in school of cosmetic science in Thailand(Mae Fah Luang University). I want to be a good science. You are my idol please keep doing this videos and books.
Do you know in Thailand does it have big cosmetic industry?
Is it OK if I study in Thailand but I want to work in a big company like L’Oreal , Unilever etc. (In my university we study all subject in English.)
Please help me!!! Now I’m very confuse is cosmetic science in Thailand good or not?
Yes Thailand has a good cosmetic industry. I actually visited there last year and gave some talks. Look for the Thailand IFSCC
Great , Its very clear information . Looking forward to the next lesson.
Hi, thank you for these cours . it remind me the cours which i forgot when i prepared my master in cosmetic industry. good continuation
Hi enjoyed the video because, I am currently a chemistry major who has 5 classes left to complete my Associates Degree in Chemistry . I am on the lookout for any knowledge I can acquire about the cosmetic and fragrance industry because, I am also looking for an internship with a Perfumer at this time. I appreciate the overview of the industry that the video gave me. Opal
Great video – I’m spoilt for choice now – all of the jobs sound interesting!
Dear sir
Thanks for the useful information and such a good presetation

Woow great info.Quite informative thanks
Thank you. This was very informative, it helped me see the whole picture of what cosmetic chemistry is all about and what I may like to study specifically in this field. Again, thanks so much for the video!
Good information. Looking forward to the next one.
Very informative, thank you for putting this together!
really good , wanna learn the core of cosmetics science.
what a wonderful and informative video, it has opened a new avenue of jobs in the cosmetic industry that i had no idea existed
i’m so happy to be here. i cant wait to become an expert formulator chemist.
Good introductin lesson one , Great !
that was very informative, thank you all the way from Sudan 😉 .
can’t wait for the next one!
Africa and Eastern Europe look like the great undeveloped markets. Are the cosmetic companies asleep?
It’s just an opportunity for someone.
I didn’t know about all of those job positions! Where were they at my high school career fair? I do hope to learn the in’s and out’s of how the chemicals react to each other to be able to make cosmetics that I truly enjoy.
Very helpful and educational overview of job possibilities in cosmetic field. Thank you very much, Perry.
i like it ,thanks for ur effort to make this video,i got a lot of information here!

Thank you for your lessons. Great from Russia *)
Thank you! Very informative and easy to comprehend. Great!
Hi Perry
I’ve just watched your first video. I think that it is a superb overview of the global cosmetic industry, and highlights the broad range of opportunities for scientists within it.
One of my other hats is as a Board of Trustee member of a large High School in New Zealand. Probably not unique to NZ, is the paucity of students choosing to do science. As I was watching your video it occurred to me that it would be a great tool for our school careers advisors to help to try to encourage our high school students to continue with science. I hope that you won’t mind if I pass on your video and website link to the principal/HOD science in our school? With Ultra fast broadband operating in schools nowadays- your website is just the sort of thing that could be utilised to help engage our senior (16-17 year olds) in science and enable them to identify appealing vocational applications.
Many thanks for such a good presentation!
Hello Gill,
Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to pass along the videos and let me know if there are any questions you need answered.
Regards,
Perry, 44
This is with reference to the suggestion of Gill in referring the Video to School Career Advisors. Am in perfect sync.On a personal level too , 30 years back after learning Chemistry did not know what to do ………Even today , feel sad when young and brilliant Science graduates and engineers take up totally unrelated professions………Feel, this video would definitely motivate budding Chemists……….
What an Awesome lectures! Thank you for giving us the useful and easily understandable course. I’m looking forward to watching subsequent parts!!
Thanks for taking the time to post!!
Thanks for the useful information !
It’s really cool, but I can not activate the topics of this course is to read it in writing it is more serious for me.
Thank you
Good to know that I am able to use my science degree in something like makeup, hair, and just cosmetics in general, since I’ve always been interested in the beauty industry
Very informative!!! Excited to learn more. Thanks
thank u sir for your information……….its really good
hello.
hey it quite interesting to watch.. u have presented it well…. also its one among the important & growing field which people are least bothered about, i mean the science n career behind it, even though they spend a lot on these…. actually you have given a very nice presentation which would inspire the new generation…. good work Perry..! 🙂
Fantastic work very helpfull
thank you
Thank you Perry for this GREAT presentation! Enjoy it and look forward for next lesson.
I am truly amazed at the amount of information that was presented in this first session. I knew very little about the cosmetic industry and how it operated. After watching this presentation, I have a clear picture of what cosmetics are and what function scientists have at every level of the industry.
it’s awesome. thanks
Hello sir!
very good job…its full of information and i really enjoyed the information.
As a trainee cosmetic chemist I found it very very useful and interesting. thanks a lot and looking forward to the next video.
i watch this session and it really helped me to gain a view over cosmetic industry, i really thank you for sharing this useful knowledge! since i’m perfectly new in this field it was great to know some overall informations, thanks
Thank you for a great presentation. It was very informative and interesting.
Raquel
very informative video Perry, I found it very useful as it helped me narrow down what specific career path I may be more interested in.
These for 4 videos really provide our translators with useful information. We translate for the cosmetics industry -mainly marketing materials including packaging and labelling, inserts, instructions, etc.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for your efforts I am looking forward to find more answers for my questions in the next lesson.
Thank you for sharing. I nice, general introduction to the cosmetic industry.
an en excellent interest arousing introduction of cosmetics science.
Hello Perry,
Thank you.
It was a very interesting presentation. I am chemical engineer and almost graduted in cosmetics formulation. It contains very helpful information about cosmetic industry, specially for someone like me that is new in formulation….
Love the video looking forward to more!
a very nice presentation and very informative. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the lecture. It’s a great overview for cosmetic science.
I graduated with bachelor of science degree in biochemistry last year and currently started working as a temp for 3 months in a cosmetic industry. What I’m doing in the lab is always testing the products by measuring the viscosity and applying the products to hair. So I believe most of the time I’m working on is QC or QA. It is very time consuming and repetitive. I didn’t take as many chemistry courses as people who major in chemistry so I’m not sure what my career path is going to be. Hopefully I will have the chances to do different types of cosmetic jobs and develop the knowledge in chemistry aspects.
Great information..Thank you so much..
A very informative introduction. I believe such information should be given in the University, I mean the connection between science and real life and job requirements! Thank you.
I work many years in the cosmetics industry and had not seen a presentation as abrangedora
Very informative. I have been in the cosmetic industry for some years now. I did not fully understand the industry before now thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the useful information. It’s helpful.
This was a very informative presentation. I am excited about cosmetic chemistry because I think I’ve finally found the field I want to work in. But, I’m very nervous that my B.S. in Biology won’t get me very far without previous experience. Testing and the analytical side sound wonderful but I don’t have that chem degree. I HAVE taken Quantitative analysis (and gen chem and org) but should i take more postdegree classes?
I can’t wait to watch more videos.
Very informative. Great tool for us newbies! I would have never known soap wasn’t a cosmetic. I can’t wait for the next lesson!
This was so informative! Great work. Looking forward to the next video 🙂
If I do a graduate course in Cosmetic Science, what jobs do you think I could land? Im doing Chemical Engineering now btw
Chemical engineering is mostly for jobs in Process engineering. But if you get a degree in cosmetic science you could get formulation jobs.
I good intro – looking forward to reviewing the other parts as I am interested in starting my own skincare line to compliment the facials I provide
Nice intro to the cosmetic industry.
Good presentation! Looking forward to the next mini course!
thanks you for your efforts,
i’m already works in many jobs in cosmetics like formulator, QA, QC and R&D chemist.
now i study for graduation in faculty in science of suez canal university to get master degree in organic synthesis.
but i need your basic information to complete my vision about the cosmetics.
thanks.
chemist
Wael Elrayes
Thanks, it’s a good introduction
Hi
I am not a chemist by training but work in the industry. I found your program useful and easy to understand. It has encouraged me to learn more about the industry.
Really exciting with this information
I hope this is a good start for me to introduce about cosmetics deeper in my college
Make me more spiritfull ^o^
Thank You
Hello, I just completed viewing the first mini lesson and i really enjoyed it. I must say it really has encouraged me to step up my efforts to start my own range of skin care and hair care products. still in the preliminary phases of formulating, testing and soliciting public views. Thanks for the information.
Hello!
I am a chemist from Cyprus. I am passionate with cosmetics and I found your video very interesting, especially the part with the roles of a chemist in the Cosmetic Industry. Its very helpful for a person with no experience in this industry.
thx 4 the information..^^
Hi , I downloaded this short course before enroling into the Diploma Course and Thanks to quality and information that you deliver I will be enrolling into your full course.
Deb
Thank you very much for this information! Good Job!!
hi perry, thanks for sharing the information.
Thank you soo much for the lesson, well presented and easy to follow, I thoroughly enjoyed it 🙂
Hi Perry,
It is really inspiring to learn more on the first part of your lesson both for people who are planning to be in the industry and for people who are in the industry already. I’m sure your course will help a lot of people in our industry. Thanks for sharing us your knowledge.
Best Regards,
Maria
This is a great overview of the industry. Thanks for sending it my way. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Very insightful and interesting, I’m glad I came across this 😀
Great Great Information to have a glimpse of what goes on in the cosmetics industry. Thanks a lot:-)
Hi ,
Its a helpful video, i get to know more about cosmetics science. Im 18 this year and about to end a-levels this june . im interested in this industry but dont know which undergraduate course will lead me to this industry and which country is the best to study the course so that i have a higher career opportunity after graduation?
Very informative! I already knew I wanted to be the rock star, but if I didn’t know what I wanted to do this presentation would definitely have helped me to decide. It mentioned some things I never really thought about before… such as the exact definition of a cosmetic. Make-up is just one of those things that you see every day, take for granted, and don’t particularly feel the need to define, even if you make or wear it. I liked the choice of slides- especially the rock star and the cheesy salesman- I think I liked him the best. Reminded me of Herb Tarlick from WKRP. Except his suit was better. I also like that you put your face up in the corner and we can see you talking- so it’s actually more like being in a lecture. Great job! I will check out lesson two soon because I see it’s in my inbox already, too! Thank you, Perry!
Wow what a useful video! Although I live in Greece and most of these jobs don’t even exist here, I find it really useful to know how it all works! I make my own brand in a very small scale. I learn something new every day thanks to you! Keep filling us with passion about cosmetics!
Dear Olympia,
I am a chemist and do R&D in cosmetic products. I am based in Athens, Greece and would like to come into contact with you. My number is 6972-812918. Looking forward to it. George.
I absolutely loved the presentation. It was very thorough and covered a lot of valuable information. I do not have my degree in a physical science; is this a problem if I want to become a cosmetic chemist? Maybe a better question would be how likely is it that I would find a job or be successful formulating my own line without a physical science background? I do plan to take your full course- would an employer acknowledge that since it’s not affiliated with an accredited college? Thanks so much for your time and for putting together a great presentation.
Thanks dear perry
I really enjoyed your lectures no.1 and 2 and found it informative although I studied pharmacy but cosmetics were not included in our syllibus
Thanks for the first lesson
we are waiting for other lesson
Please insist on regulated in Europe for cosmetics products
Thank you this video was a lot of help. I have been wondering about the different careers one can follow once doing cosmetic science.
Like your video very much!
I am a student of chemical engineering in uni.
Do I need to take a master in chemistry in order to work in research cosmetics?
Thanks! No you don’t need a masters degree in chemistry in order to work in the cosmetic industry.
Helpful and inspiring!
Many thanks.
Dear Perry
I am very luck to land on your instructional materials. I am now more than encouraged that I shall achieve my target. Thank you so much. You are a real teacher
Dear Perry,
Thank you very much for this insight, I am much looking forward to the next. I am working as a sales person of private label aerosol cosmetics in Europe. As a Msc geologist I have a basic chemistry background but would like to improve this with focus on cosmetics in order to have better discussions with our retail customers and r&d.
I Love Love Love all the info given
Your video is very educational and insightful. Typically, consumers are unaware of the resources required to develop, test, manufacture, package and market a product. While you focused on the career opportunities in the cosmetic world, it was also an education on the overall production of a product. I look forward to the other videos.
Great presentation, very informative with very well organize overview of cosmetic industry.
I had pleasure to meet you in person couple years ago in Oshawa (Ontario) introductory course lecture and I was very pleasure with the knowledge that you share with the students. Your side is also very informative,
I am holding BS. In Chemistry from another country and I am working for last 5 years for Color group. I I am hoping one day to become fully develop formulator in Color Formulations.
So at this point I my career I am looking for more detail information about formulation in Lipsticks, Lipglosses, Foundations, ES, and Blushes
For example I would like to learn
-Why some lipstick are sweating or bleeding,
-What are best raw materials are to be used to get desirable texture
-What is optimal ratio of waxes in the lipstick formulation?
So far I found from books very general idea about formulations with very wide range of % of waxes / emollients/ pigments
-Is there any master formula that would ensure always successful formulation if applied raw material is within the specs.
Looks like there are not much information out there, not very well organize
If there is any way you could create course about specifically color part of cosmetics in more details, discuss some examples formulations and for examples interaction of the raw materials and why they are use in specific formulation, maybe some troubleshooting. Looks like somebody like you with all your knowledge and experience need to systemize at least basic what we know about formulations so far and help people like me. Regretfully Course in Oshawa was put on hold for couple years now. I manage to do only introductory part.
Maybe you know any other side that could be helpful in this matter
I would really appreciate your advice and information,
Izabela
Thank you for the video. It was very informative. I currently hold a BS. in Chemistry and am hoping to make my own natural hair care product for African Americans. Im interested in learning more from your site.
some good info
thanks
A fruitful effort resulting in great interest and passion for a general FMCG formulator like me. I really appreciate the the availability of this training which is rare to find in my country in a course-outline. I will try my best to visit this forum daily and to put farward my experiences in this field of cosmetic science.
Thansks to all endureing for betterment of life and living
We enjoy lesson 1. It was interesting to know what can be considered cosmetics. By listening to the interesting titles of chemistry my daughter and I discovered we want to be tech service and formular. We have a makeup bar of which we have idea to relax our clients and need some assistance in our ideas to launch our business plans. We look forward to the 44 page review and the second class.
Our goal is to some day have our on makeup line and cologne and perfume for men and women.
Thanks for the video i really appreciated to know how things work out there! By the way do you think it’s possible for someone without a high school grade, but who really enjoy chemistery and who’s willing to put time and effort to learn to start a cosmetic line and sell it.
p.s.: Im living in Canada, Quebec and i dont know either if i need some school grade to formulate, i mean with the laws.
Absolutely! Cosmetic chemistry is more like cooking than chemistry. I would suggest you go get our free report How to start a cosmetic line
Hi Perry
Great presentation about the role of chemists in the cosmetic industry!
Thanks a lot, I found it very inspiring!
Awesome!
I’m a current high school senior, and I knew I wanted to do chemistry in life– however, I didn’t know there were careers in cosmetics! It’s combining my two favorite things in the world. Thank you for providing an introduction like this. I’m very intrigued and it strengthens my desire to become a cosmetic chemist.
One last question: Are cosmetic chemists the ones who create products such as Proactive, SkinID, etc.?
Thank you again!
Great news! Yes, cosmetic chemists are the ones who make Proactive and SkinID
Very informative. This video lets me know that chemistry and cosmetics go hand in hand. Looking forward to the second video. Thanks!
very informative for a beginner.thanks
very helpful information and very helpful site!thank you!
hmmmm it’s a quite interesting and informative for the beginners in cosmetics.
Informative!!!
I want more…

I thought the video was clear with introductory information that leaved me with high expectations for what is to come.
Concise and clear.
Thank you Perry!
Really informative video, great for someone who wants to learn about the different areas of cosmetic chemistry
Thanks so much for producing and sharing this video. I am new to the cosmetics field; I am a food scientist. I can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks Perry,
I really enjoyed the video. I cant wait for the next one. I’m a Cosmetologist working in the Industry since 1992. For the past 2 years I have totally changed the way I work. I now approach hair in a scientific way. Where can I find out more about the ingridients on a back of a label.
I currently have my own product labels. I’m keeping them professional and selling them strickley to hair salons. I’m very creative and was looking for a way that I could create my own products and some how landed on your website. How long is the program for Biochemistry? I’m considering going back to school. My dream is to create my own products and and educate other salon professionals on there uses. That way they will be able to know how to approach hair and be successful in the beauty industry.
Thanks again,
Jose
Thanks for the information. It was very insightful. Gave me food for thought and even answered some questions I had. Looking forwards to the next video. 😀
I ejoyed it very much.thank you!!!!
Enjoyed the overview.

I REALLY ENJOYED THE OVERVIEW.
I am excited about the lessons and learning more about this aspect of cosmetics.
Great job!
Blessings
it is realy helpful introduction, very clear and i am looking forward for next part:)
Thanks for the insight. I am ready to learn more!
Thanks for a nice lecture.
Thank you! The video was really helpful and I got to know the overview of the cosmetic industry. I’m currently a first year undergraduate studying chemistry and i wanna become a great formulator in the cosmetic industry. Please advise me!
Thanks. It was quite an informative window into the exciting world of the cosmetic industry.
Thank you very much.
I really enjoyed the overview. BRAVO!!!!!
Thank you! But one thing re slide Nr 17 – are countries like Norway, Sweden really Eastern Europe?….
Besides, I think pdf slides could be little bit lighter – it takes quite long time to download.
Anyway, thanks for that! Looking forward for next material! 😉
Thank you. Lesson One gave a good overview for the infustry and integrate the various components/environment essential to keep the industry dynamic.
thank you so much for this information
looking for other lessons.i need to know some formulation to make them
Wow, thank you so much for this!
Thank you. Its a real good introduction.
This video was very informative. I like how you connected college subjects to the specific careers. I was able to get a brief understanding of various jobs in the cosmetic field. I do not think I would enjoy sales as much as I would enjoy being in a laboratory, so this information was helpful. Thank you!
This is quite cpmprehensive,concise and rich. Infact, there are many scientist in the field that is not aware of this division. Really apreciate this..That quite good of handwork. Looking forward for the other parts of the lesson. Good job..
Thanks Perry!
Quite a comprehensive introductory package with much insight into cosmetics industry segmentation and sectors of activities where it is easier to find a job as a cosmetics chemist.
Beaucs.
That was a great and rich lesson for me, I’ve learned many things, I didn’t imagine that cosmetic industry has all of those specialists and scientists each one has his/her specific field in the industry, I’ve also learend what is exactly cosmetics, I thought it’s only the makeup like lipsticks, foundations, eyeshadows and etc. are cosmetics
I truly thank you Perry <3
blessings for all of you
Hi Perry,
Great intro, thank you very much! Looking forward to get into the technical part 🙂
You just didn’t mention about creating your own cosmetics as an option for the formulator chemist. Will you be covering this in the future?
Thank you 🙂
Juliana
great work. looking for other lessions too. thanks very much.
Fantastic. Wonderful introduction. short, concise and gives a wonderful overview.
Thank you!
A really good job. I never knew that there were so many kinds of jobs inside cosmetics industry.
I’m looking forward for the second part. THANKS A LOT
YOU ARE WONDER FULL PEOPLE
There were helpful information. I really enjoy the video
Nice brief overview of cosmetic industry especially for new comer and for someone looking for specialisation in the cosmetic field. cosmetic
thanks for useful information .
I am looking forward to learn the subsequent courses.
take care.
Great lesson thank you
Very Interesting and Informative, looking forward to learn the subsequent courses.
Babu Kumar
I like how you broke down each process and included the types of job opportunities in these sectors. You make a great instructor!
Thanks.
Hi Perry,
It’s really interesting and useful lesson. Especially about different job opportunities in this big industry.
May I know the carrier for Trainers in Cosmetic Industry?
Thank you.
Mano
Very usufull information to have a point of view abouth cosmetic industry, its very important to know abouth general topics when you want to work in this fields.
Thank you very much for sending me this informative email. I’m very happy to receive your lesson. Thanks again
Thank you very much, Perry. Very informative, never knew about all that you told. Looking forward seeing more videos like this.
Thank you very much Perry, very informative and inspiring. Looking forward seeing next video.
Thanks very much for this, it’s very helpful and I look forward to the many more videos like it to come.
Excellent presentation and very informative. Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much, it is so clearly
i would had liked to have this information when it was in the university
Go on, you help us very much
A great presentation, simple and to the point.
Thanks alot! I knew I wanted to be a cosmetic chemist but I had no idea how anything works in the industry. This lesson really helped me decide what I would like to focus on.
Thanks a lot for this, it was definitely very helpful.
thanks a lot, it is really good stuff for those who want to learn and know about the cosmetic as a chemist.
Wow! Very informative and interesting. My only education in this field has been acheived through books and research on the internet. Yet I have been formulating my own (and some of my families) cosmetics for years. My products are very good but I need to know more about the industry and how to market my own formulas. This has been very helpful in that regard. Much more than I expected.
Much more information than I expected. Good job!
very informative indeed for one entering the cosmetic industry. Easier for us too who are also in the industry to disseminate infos you cited in your lesson.
Entering the world of cosmetic chemistry is something very excieting for me and I think this is a great start
It’s really interesting to enter this new world of chemistry.
The best and most detailed guide to the cosmetics industry.
Five out of five.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for taking the time out to make this video. Is is extremely informative. I am an analytical chemist who lost my job in the pharmaceutical industry and was doing a search on formulation chemist and cosmetic chemistry when I came upon your page. Being a certified makup artist as well, I am very passionate about color cosmetics and skincare cosmetics. So with the love for both chemistry and cosmetics I know I will not only be motivated, but determine. Thank you again for the information that would help me on my path/ decision on becoming a cosmetic chemist.
I loved the introduction, definitely a job well done!!!! I’m so glad I came across Chemists Corner. As a licensed Cosmetology Instructor and working in the beauty field for years, I went back to school for a chemistry degree. Now, I will be able to know what field I will enjoy and most importantly to love what I do. Thank you, Perry =)
I really liked this first lesson of the course because it helped me to find out the area I most like in the cosmetic industry, that is the lab, once I already have worked in one, but I didn’t had knowledge about all this job oportunities. Thank you, Perry.
i am jalal and i have 9 year exp of cosmetics products i have so many country exp asia,arab,africa and i know all formula of cosmetic, cleaning and soap products
Thanks for the great overview about the industry. I’m thinking of making my mid-career switch to becoming a cosmetic scientist but I do not have any relevant degree or experience. I don’t mind starting from scratch. Anyone has any advice for me?
Okay, you have have no relevant degrees, you would need at least a bachelors in chemistry or biology or both. If you are doing biology, make sure you pick relevant papers such as microbiology, cellular/molecular biology, biochemistry or even genetics. Usually cosmetic scientist have a chemist degree. If you go for a chemistry degree, you’d probably want to specialize in emulsions, organics or maybe even analytic chemistry. I’m from New Zealand so I’m not sure how the system would work in your country, but do try to go for internships or studentships your university will provide. You could even offer to volunteer to work in a lab during the summer (preferably in your last year of your degree). In New Zealand, there is very little opportunity so you might actually get a job in a nutrition lab first as a QA or a compounder, then land a job at a cosmetics manufacturer. Enthusiasm is a must. Also, a good way to start is by researching the effects of chemicals used in everyday skincare that you may use to be more knowledgeable in this area. A good, trustable website is cosmeticsinfo.org
very useful Perry, thanks!
few words from experienced ppl makes it worthier than reading and spending time on punch of magazines & stuff~liked:)
Great information!!
Hi Perry
Thank you so much for this informative presentation
It is great an useful
Kind Regards
It’s a good definition of the role of all scientists in the cosmetic industry!!!
This is a great video. I am a CHE student and this really helps me in finding a job in the cosmetic industry in the future.
I hope I can work with a cosmetic research group as training and experience.
Thank you, am so glad I found your link. Love the clear no nonsense definitions and opportunities explained in this video.
My nine year old daughter now has a growing interest in science because of this video. She first wanted to be a fashion designer, then a make-up artist, now she is more interested in how to formulate cosmetics and did not see it possible until the video. She now sees why I want her to become a chemist. We own a company making all natural hair and skin care products. She has been helping me since she was old enough to count. Now she sees a greater relevance in mixing and formulating. Thank you for helping me and her understand the industry better.
Thank You so much for this wonderful presentation it was not only informative but is was also motivating being that iam a beginner in this wonderful industry i look foward to the next lesson
excilent vidios for lerning. please send me 2 lesson . i want to prepare cteric acid recepies for skin whiting cream, please help me in this regards.
