Year 3

From the 3rd year onwards, training focuses on the creation and formulation of cosmetic products, which is the major step in the design of a cosmetic product. It is at the crossroads of technical and regulatory issues, as the products developed must embody a brand’s expertise while meeting the industry’s safety and performance requirements.

By the end of the first three years, each student will be able to develop a wide range of cosmetic products (creams, gels, make-up, powders, etc.), learn about their physico-chemical, sensory and dermatological characteristics, and become familiar with production requirements.
