Cosmetic science education in the United States is limited to select universities, even more so for fragrance. Yet the industry is in need of future scientists who are well-versed in not only standard formulating, but how fragrance can be properly utilized in product creation.
In this sponsored podcast, K.P. Ananth, Ph.D. and Erika Nomeland, fragrance consultant and professor for the Fragrance Lab course at the University of Cincinnati, discuss cosmetic science education and how the university's Fragrance Lab course will benefit students and the industry.
Nomeland explains how fragrance is a pivotal part of cosmetics, stressing that "[fragrance] is a lot more complex than people realize. It's a really strong balance between chemistry, the science behind it as well as the art of understanding the consumer and a bit of neruoscience with understanding the impact it can have on emotions."
In addition, Ananth delves into how the university has continued to grow and develop it's cosmetic science program. "The university of Cincinnati cosmetic science program has been around for more than fifty years and we work very closely with the industry."
The first Fragrance Lab course will be available this summer. Listen now to learn more.
