By the end of the module, you\u2019ll be able to research any ingredient, familiar or new, and decide for yourself how and when to use it in a formula.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;73449&#8243; img_size=&#8221;&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"no-margin pale-grey serif\">Module 3 Lesson 1<\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"sans green no-margin\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW213856453 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW213856453 BCX0\">Cosmetic ingredient categories<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn how to identify and classify ingredients based on their role in a formula<\/li>\n<li>Understand how ingredient chemistry affects function, performance and compatibility<\/li>\n<li>Explore key categories such as emulsifiers, surfactants, emollients and humectants<\/li>\n<li>Gain confidence in selecting the right ingredients for your formulation goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;73450&#8243; img_size=&#8221;&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"no-margin pale-grey serif\">Module 3 Lesson 2<\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"sans green no-margin\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW114384110 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW114384110 BCX0\">The chemistry of cosmetic ingredients<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Begin exploring cosmetic chemistry in a clear, accessible way<\/li>\n<li>Learn the roles different ingredients play in a formula<\/li>\n<li>Understand how basic chemical structure affects ingredient behaviour<\/li>\n<li>Discover how ingredient chemistry influences texture, stability and performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;73451&#8243; img_size=&#8221;&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"no-margin pale-grey serif\">Module 3 Lesson 3<\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"sans green no-margin\">INCI names<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn how to decode what INCI names really reveal (and what they don\u2019t)<\/li>\n<li>Understand how to read technical documents with clarity<\/li>\n<li>Learn how to assess whether an ingredient is a good fit for your formulation<\/li>\n<li>Spot gaps or inconsistencies in supplier information before you order anything<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;73452&#8243; img_size=&#8221;&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"no-margin pale-grey serif\">Module 3 Lesson 4<\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"sans green no-margin\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW240141200 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW240141200 BCX0\">Experimenting with new ingredients<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand the different types of scientific research and how they apply to cosmetics<\/li>\n<li>Learn how to read and interpret research papers with confidence<\/li>\n<li>Develop a step-by-step process for researching ingredients in depth<\/li>\n<li>Start thinking like a scientist when selecting and assessing new ingredients<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Bonus:<\/strong><\/span> Advanced Ingredient Research Form template<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;image&#8221; bg_attachment=&#8221;true&#8221; bg_image=&#8221;28076&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;73531&#8243; img_size=&#8221;&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1750089858074{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"no-margin pale-grey serif\">Module 4<\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"green sans\">Advanced formulation skills<\/h3>\n<p>In Module 4 of our cosmetic science course, you\u2019ll learn how to design more advanced organic skincare and haircare.
