    It had a good balance between properties of the ingredients in the finished product and methods to objectively determine its results. Learnt a lot of raw material properties and its repercussion. Maybe more formulation examples explaining the function of used ingredients would be good.

    We learnt different things. Especially like the competitive analysis examples, and how to combine for maximum effectiveness.

    An Excellent Course! It gathers key information that cannot be extracted from books and magazines. I got a better understanding of skin physiology and impact / need of the different type of ingredients.
