What is cosmetic chemistry?

Cosmetic chemistry is the science of creating and formulating personal care products, cosmetics, and beauty items. It involves understanding how different chemical ingredients interact to create safe, effective, and stable products.

How do I become a cosmetic chemist?

A background in chemistry or a related science field is typical. Chemists Corner offers online courses, resources, and a community to help aspiring cosmetic chemists learn formulation skills and break into the cosmetic industry.

Do I need a degree to create cosmetic formulations?

While a formal degree in chemistry or chemical engineering is helpful, it is not always required. Many successful formulators have learned through hands-on experience and dedicated courses like those offered by Chemists Corner.

Learn How to Create Your Own Safe, Effective, Eco-friendly Natural Cosmetics

Natural Cosmetic Formulating

The ONLY online science-based formulation course that teaches you how to make Natural and Organic Cosmetics!

Formulating has Changed

Back in 1992, when I started formulating, consumers were not as concerned about the chemicals used to make their cosmetics. They wanted products that gave them the benefits they were looking for and they didn't think much about the ingredients.

But a lot has changed. The rise of the environmentally conscious movement, consumer activist groups, and the Internet have created ingredient-sensitive consumers who still want effective cosmetics but are looking for more sustainable and safe ingredients.

Today's cosmetic formulator has to be aware of taboo ingredients and learn to formulate with environmentally friendly alternatives. Being a cosmetic formulator is much more difficult today than it was even 5 years ago.

And the biggest problem of all...

Many of the best functioning raw materials can't be used in products that are being produced for the natural cosmetic consumer.

Here's the process for creating your own natural cosmetics:

STEP ONE

Learn what natural means

STEP TWO

Discover the most important natural ingredients

STEP THREE

Blend ingredients to make eco-friendly cosmetics
