Organic compounds in cosmetics: synthesis, structure and application 02-ZOKU
Main aim of this course is to provide the students with answers for the following questions: Where are the cosmetics ingredients coming from? (petro-, oleo-, fine chemistry) Why they have a particular structure? What is the reason of their activity (utility)?
LEARNING OUTCOMES. The candidates should:
- correctly recognized cosmetic ingredients, classified according to their function in formulation;
- describe their synthesis (technology) and activity for most important compounds;
- be familiar with cosmetics labels (also know English names of ingredients);
- have the basic knowledge of organic preparation and characterization of molecules and mixtures (NMR, IR, GC, HPLC, MS);
- be able to collect, interpret and report the experimental data;
- use the professional databases related to the subject (science, patent information and law regulations) as well as critically interpret scientific and marketing information.
