Would you like to develop skills and tools that will enable you to start a career in the cosmetic field? If the answer is yes, then this course is made for you.
The cosmetic industry continues to expand globally but the consumers are now taking a more holistic approach to their health and beauty. As a result of the growing publick awareness and concern about the pssible unwanted side effects of the chemical substances commonly used in cosmetics, the market for natural and especially organic toiletries in now the fastest growing section of the beauty industry. Many of us are hugely concerned about what we put in and on our bodies - and rightly so! We do not want anything harsh or containing infamous paravens, SLS or other toxic but still commonly used chemicals. And we do not want our products to be tested on anmals either! What we really want are REAL natural products - simple and pure - for our everyday skin care regime. The good news is there are plenty of wonderful options AND not only they do not have to be expensive but can even be organic!
As a result, many take it a step further and prepare their own home made natural preparations. It may seem easy to make one's own 'cream' but how effective is it going to be? And most importantly could this be sold as part of a successful new brand of products?
Unfortunately. without appropriate training and in-depth knowledge, the answer is no. So, if you ever dreamt about having your own brand of products 'out there', it will require a lot more than some emulsifyin wax, sweet almond oil and spring water.
This is what this Diploma Course is all about - it is designed to inspire, empower and equip you with current knowledhe and understandiong of the field of skincare products, its language, high-performance speciality ingredients, formulation and safety.
