Practical Magic - Cosmetic Chemistry
Grade 7-9

Have you ever wondered what the ingredients in skincare are really doing? And how do we know they work? For three weeks, we’ll explore the science of cosmetics and skincare! We’ll study the chemistry of soaps and perfumes, compare the effectiveness of different sunscreens and test product potency. We’ll also discuss the biology of skin, and hair, and how different ingredients cooperate to target common skin issues like acne, dandruff and dry skin. With lots of hands-on projects and creative experiments, you’ll get to make and take home your own bath bombs, lotions, face masks, and lip balm.
