Practical Cosmetic Formulating
Here's how to create and test cosmetic and personal care products like a pro
Creating cosmetics, personal care and beauty products is the dream of a lot of you. You may have found recipes on the Internet or tried creating products on your own. But you probably discovered that just mixing ingredients together doesn't give you a product that people actually want to buy.
If you are a science major just getting out of college, you are probably searching for a job. The cosmetic industry is a great place to work but it is difficult to get started if you don't have any practical formulating experience.
Whether you have been working in the cosmetic industry as a formulator on a specific type of product or you've spent your career in another area of the industry, this course will teach you everything you need to know to be an excellent, well-rounded formulator.

The course is terrific. I wished I had such a course long time ago. Perry's instructional skill is awesome, especially the way he organized the subject very detailed.
The courses are written in a simple and understandable way especially for me that English is my third language and I don't find any problems to understand.
