Lecturer: Perry Romanowski, 20+ years of experience in cosmetic chemistry, Vice President of Element 44 Inc, a cosmetic science consulting firm. Specializes in training in the production of cosmetics.
Author of the popular website ChemistsCorner.com, covering topics useful to cosmetic chemists. He has many publications, including on the topic “The Beginning of Cosmetic Chemistry.” He holds a degree in chemistry from DePaul University in the USA and also studied biochemistry. Perry Romanowski is an active member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists and previously served as president of the national TCC. Currently, he is the Education Chairman of the IFSCC (International Federation of Society of Cosmetic Chemists).

The webinar focuses on the ability to analyze ingredient lists of beauty products to understand what they do, how the products themselves work, and what ingredients are most important.

The list of ingredients is printed on the packaging in small Latin letters, so small that sometimes you need a magnifying glass to read it. However, in this seemingly complex information, the very essence of the product is hidden, and by understanding how to read it, we will be able, albeit superficially, to assess the quality, relevance and value of this product for us. After this webinar by American development chemist Perry Romanowski, you'll be able to review ingredient lists and find out which ones are most important and how the products work.
This will help you determine which products are worth using and can also help you create your own formulas.
