Study the chemistry behind the design and development of cosmetics with our unique BSc Chemistry with Cosmetic Science.Cosmetic science underpins a booming industry. Cosmetics is one of the EU’s five largest markets, with rapid expansion causing a skills shortage of chemists to work on cosmetics development.At Reading, we developed this specialised BSc Chemistry with Cosmetic Science course in conjunction with the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Society of Cosmetic Scientists, and industrial partners.Working with expert academics in Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Food and Pharmacy, you will learn about: - the chemistry behind colour and scent in products - how to ensure that cosmetic products are stable - the ethical implications of using different ingredients in a cosmetic product.For more information, please visit our course page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/chemistry-ug/bsc-chemistry-with-cosmetic-science
