It’s great that you have a background in biology and education, which could certainly provide a foundation for understanding cosmetic formulation. While you may not consider yourself a beginner, your self-taught experience and practice over the years have likely contributed to your knowledge.

Considering your goals, the courses you’re looking into at the Institute of Personal Care Science seem to align well with your interests. They could enhance your understanding of cosmetic preservatives, advanced cosmetic science, and quality/stability aspects.

I for example as a student prefer to use this source XXXXXXXXX I actually managed to do more writing and develop myself better than in a few years of college, I don’t know if it could help you, but here I found many answers to the questions I had.

HCosChem,

It’s great to see your enthusiasm for pursuing a career in cosmetic chemistry and formulation. I’ll try to address you some questions

Will obtaining a degree in cosmetic chemistry help in
becoming a cosmetic formulator?

What are the job and salary prospects for both careers?

Is specializing
in natural cosmetics more lucrative?
