Cosmetic Science and Formulation Design Outreach Team

As the cosmetic and personal care industry continues to grow, it is the goal of the University of Toledo Cosmetic Science and Formulation Design Outreach Team to make our program well-known both locally and nationally by showcasing all the amazing and unique qualities we offer. In 2022, we established our team that consists of passionate and enthusiastic cosmetic science students who are ready to engage with elementary and high school students. We teach participants about product formulation, create products with them, demonstrate cool science experiments, and explain the science behind everyday products. We are happy to offer both in-person and virtual sessions to groups of various sizes to spread awareness of the science of beauty.
