Most helpful video I have watched so far!! I live about an hour from UC and plan to finish my chemistry bachelors there. Then, apply for the cosmetic science MA or certificate.

[@Tianashaircreations]

Thanks for sharing information. This really was really helpful. I signed up for your class online very excellent

Heyy! Thanks for sharing information.It was really useful. Best I liked was your goal to live for 107 years👍

[@danyliv2028]

Thank you for all these informations! I don't have a lot of resources here in Belgium on that topic so I'm so glad there are people like you who make informations so accessible and so clear. I love your site and I will take your online course when I finish my bachelor in chemical engineering 😊

I am currently a cosmetology student i wish to get knowledge of cosmetic chemistry but i have no chemistry or phisics basics from my high school academics i did more of business an art in college. Am from Tanzania

You might find our formulation course helpful. chemistscorner.com/formulating-cosmetics

Hi im a freelance bridal makeup artist . And I am curious being a doing my own product in bussesness I like saling than being in the lab. I'm am watching your vedio you said I dont have to be in school or being in degree. My question where should I start you think?

[@kennyasilva629]

if you were still a student, which courses or classes would you take to benefit your career outside the ones they give us in the academic curriculum ?

[@PerryRomanowski]

Taking a course on marketing would be helpful. The cosmetic industry makes a lot of decisions based on what is best for the business and consumer. They don't teach you that in your science courses.

[@anjavrhovec5454]

Hi! :) I have one question about formulating :) Can you help me with UV/light stability of emuslion. I used carrot oil (INCI: Glycine Soja (A), Daucus carota (F), Carotene (F)), but the colour of emulsion fades away on sun light (in approx. 2 months). Thanks and best regards from Slovenia :)

[@CosmeticChemist]

Well, you need to add an antioxidant which could help and keep the product in opaque packaging could help too. Color stability is difficult. Synthetic colors are more reliable (and legal)

I'm doing Bachelors in Chemistry. Do i need to get Masters degree in chemistry or Masters degree in Cosmetic Science. Please help

[@joannethompson6869]

good night well its night here in Barbados o my name is joanne can you teach me to formulate better? improving my skills, i am a soap maker i do creams, lotions, i did one of your courses as well, learn cosmetic formulation.

[@MarianaLP1594]

I'm gonna finish high school. What career should do I study? I wanna become a cosmetic chemist but I don't know what is the career more ideal.

[@ChemistsCorner44]

You should study Chemistry or Chemical Engineering.

[@lenatony7794]

@@ChemistsCorner44 which one is better among the two ?

[@PerryRomanowski]

@@lenatony7794 They are both equally valuable in the cosmetic industry. If you want to formulate then a degree in Chemistry might be a little more preferred but either one works.

[@nikisha-25]

@@PerryRomanowski for becoming cosmetic chemist which one is best 1. Chemical engineering, 2. Bsc in chemistry, 3. Material science engineering? I just graduated from high school I am going abroad for further studies but I don't know which subject should I take to become one.?

[@PerryRomanowski]

@@nikisha-25 It depends on the company but for most companies BSC in Chemistry is most valuable. However, a company like L'Oreal likes to hire Chemical Engineers.

[@Maria-jd8be]

Hello, I have a bachelor in Health Science and a Masters in Science in Medicine to be a physician assistant. I would love to enter this field, but I just spent 6 years in school and would hate to go back. To fully immerse myself in the cosmetic chemist field, do you feel like it is necessary for me to go back and get another masters in chemistry? Or can I just use your courses on your website?

[@thejoggler]

You don't really need more formal schooling to become a cosmetic chemist. It would help to have a chemistry degree but you may still qualify to become a cosmetic chemist. Taking a course like ours will give you the most useful background knowledge to apply for and do well in job interviews. That is the route I would suggest.

[@army-bn2fe]

@@thejoggler hey can u tell me like specifically what course will help us to pursue cosmetic chemist

[@nikisha-25]

Which engineering should I do to become cosmetic chemist? Material science engineering or chemical engineering. I just graduate from high school I don't know which engineering should I take. I looked through websites and youtubes but it makes me more confused. Please suggest

[@PerryRomanowski]

Chemical engineering is best for cosmetic chemistry.

[@muhmmadjunaid4500]

Hi, I am science student from Pakistan, I visited the site refered by you for regular online classes. But frankly speaking the fee is to much for me to pay. So kindly if you consider me for special fee discount. Hope for a positive reply.

[@joannethompson6869]

please reply

[@watupbword951]

Is taking biochemistry better than chemistry for cosmetic chemistry path?

[@thejoggler]

No, I think ultimately getting a chemistry degree is more useful. But it's also helpful to take some biology & biochemistry courses.

[@manjujain7537]

Heyy...i'm from india...I'm about to complete my high school but still can't figure, in which major I should graduate in order to become a cosmetic chemist, and which college is best for it.....

[@PerryRomanowski]

I don't know colleges in India but the best major to get to become a cosmetic chemist is a degree in Chemistry

[@payel____]

I'm a student of bsc chemistry honours. How can I be a cosmetic chemist in US? I'm from india btw

[@army-bn2fe]

Hey did u find where to study..m also from India

[@src3360]

I have a masters in nursing; i just dont want to go back to school lol

[@CosmeticChemist]

Yeah, it would be tough to go back to school.

[@CosmeticChemist]

Yes, you could get started in the industry. I'd suggest you attend some of the California SCC meetings & meet people who may know of jobs for you to get started.

[@VishalRathod-sc9zc]

Hi @@CosmeticChemist this is Vishal, I am a Software Engineer reaching out on behalf of my wife. We are looking jobs in Cosmetic Chemist domain, she has completed the masters in Cosmetic science in India but making a fresh start in California. Need information about how to join SCC (Take membership or travel to their meeting, etc)? Also, any help on finding the job?

[@VishalRathod-sc9zc]

@SN I would appreciate if you have any idea here?

[@leflibo2525]

[@_laibaakhan_7634]

Can we become cosmetic chemist after B's cosmetology??

[@PerryRomanowski]

You would need a degree in Chemistry to become a cosmetic chemist in the industry.

[@7joursdamour236]

I am about to have my bachelors in Biomedical Laboratory Science (not the same as biomedical science!). I would love to become a cosmetic scientist. What should master should I study to become a cosmetic scientist?
