This course is part of the Cosmetic Science Specialization. This course explores the science and practice of cosmetic formulation, guiding you from foundational raw material selection to advanced product optimization and performance evaluation. You will examine surfactants, emulsifiers, preservatives, rheology modifiers, and additives, while developing safe and effective laboratory practices, accurate documentation, and quantitative formulation skills. As the course progresses, you will apply formulation mathematics, interpret Certificates of Analysis, and compare skincare system designs to support stable, high-performing products. In the final module, you will integrate testing data, troubleshoot formulation challenges, and justify product design decisions using real-world scenarios. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to design, evaluate, and refine cosmetic formulations with scientific rigor and professional confidence.

The curriculum was excellent. It went far beyond my esthetics licensing course. The final project of creating a product in the AI chatbot was challenging but purposeful. I got great feedback from the AI chatbot on my moisturizer and left with a good Cosmetic Product Specification Sheet. I do wish the course had an extra lesson on natural ingredients rather than mentioning one per category or perhaps gave a sample product formula for one. I was happy with my natural, luxurious lotion I created.

Many mistakes in the quizzes with duplicate questions or questions from the wrong section being asked early. Many of the larger quizzes say they give 1.5hr but end up having a 5min clock. Otherwise, informative
Did not certificate on the completion of course
Pretty good initial introduction, not very in-depth, but certainly helpful, and relatively thorough. I am worried I will not get my certificate without paying a fee, but that is the fault of Coursera, not this course, or its organizers. I will leave an appropriate review for Coursera itself in an appropriate venue, should this issue not be resolved.
