From Skin Science to Sustainable Cosmetic Formulation
Discover how science meets beauty!
This program gives students a deep and practical insight into the creation of cosmetic products, from the first concept to the final formulation. You’ll learn to navigate the technical, regulatory, and environmental challenges shaping today’s cosmetics industry.
Constantly updated to reflect the latest trends and sustainable innovations, this training prepares you to design the cosmetics of tomorrow.
Program Overview
The goal? To take students behind the scenes of cosmetic design, guiding them through the stages, framework, and constraints of this fascinating world. The program dives into current challenges, like changing regulations and the quest for eco-friendly solutions.
Courses content
Introduction to one health
- One Health concept
- Interactions of humans with the biosphere
- Biodiversity in the Anthropocene
- Challenges and limits of one health
Bridges between Human & Environmental health
- Environmental cues integration in diseases such as cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases.
- Environment imbalance and pandemics
- Microbiomes & health: what are microbiomes and what are their functions in human and elsewhere in the environment? How does metagenomics contribute to their study? What are the impact of humans on microbiomes? What are the future applications based on microbiomes in health and environment?
- Technologies that may have global impacts on one health: The place of CRISPR-Cas9.
Labwork training
To illustrate one health relationships, we invite you to take part into the evaluation of the putative impacts of pesticides both on human and soil health. This training encompass:
- An evaluation of the toxicity of pesticides in in vitro assays on human cells using genetic engineering, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy techniques
- A metagenomic analysis of soil microbiomes exposed to pesticides: culturomic approaches, Initiation to bacterial and fungal microbiology (culture, identification, quantification), experimental design for a metagenomic study, sample collection, DNA extraction and library preparation using barcoding strategies, DNA sequencing using Oxford Nanopore technology, and data analysis (taxonomy, relative abundance, alpha- and beta-diversity)
- Exercise of systems thinking based on the knowledge and experience gathered during the workshop
Objectives
- Understand the skin and capillary biology, as well as their disorders.
- Propose key ingredients adapted to two specific skin needs in a relevant and justified manner.
- Correctly identify cosmetic products in the provided case studies based on the definition of the EuropeanRegulation
- Formulate solid product soap from raw materials understanding to experimental design
- Transmit generic knowledge on the global environmental impact of chemical industry, and specifically on cosmetics raw material production
- Design sustainable, safe, and efficient cosmetic formulations.
- Explore how AI can support sustainable formulation strategies (raw material sourcing, substitution, and analysis).
