I'm a recent cosmetology school graduate - I love hair and skin and makeup, beauty is deep and meaningful to me, but after graduating, I find myself so disenchanted and dispassionate. I was in science before this, and had been considering going back to school for it - the idea of cosmetic chemistry actually struck me briefly before I graduated cosmetology school as well but no one there seemed to have many answers for me. Seeing your videos on the subject have fanned that spark back to life - I feel passionate and excited, and like there's still hope for me to work with beauty, without giving up something else I really loved that drives me. Thank you for uploading all of this!

What is the interviewing process for cosmetic chemistry?

I am planning to take a specialization in my university of chemical and biological engineering. This degree will be a great start for cosmetic chemist right? I mean this degree focuses more on math and physics than in chemistry

I’m actually majoring in chemical engineering! I heard it’s also a really good major for becoming a cosmetic chemist !!

when you finish with chemical engineering do you need a separate degree for cosmetic chemist or when you graduate from chemical engineering you can become an cosmetic chemist right away?

Wow!!! I just graduated from the Food Science major, and I really hope I can find a job at Dallas. Do your company still hire fresh graduates?

hello April! thank you so much for your video, I do have a question tho. I am majoring in medical laboratory science and of course, we take a lot of chemistry courses so do you think it is possible o become a cosmetic chemist with this degree or I should start over? please help me!!

Hi are cosmetic scientist always paid well?

What would be the BEST major for cosmetic science though? I’m looking for a major that would help me later on, but would also not limit me to just cosmetic science or smth

Hi!! I’m in the UK and I’m currently doing my A levels consisting of Chemistry, Biology and History. I was wondering whether a degree of Biochemistry would be appropriate for a future job in cosmetic formulation? Thank you!

Hey luv any really ANY science degree is Perfect for cosmetic formulation. But you might have a better chance if you have a chem or Biochem degree. Goodluck boo!

Hii aprill , i am in confussion 😢, i am bsc biology graduate without chemistry because i removed it before choose my major subjects as biology but now i am interesting to do msc in cosmetics science but i am so afriad about chemistry, is chemistry becoming my problem in my master's degree or not Please Aprill tell me what should i do😢

I live in the UK, and I'm thinking of doing an undergraduate degree in Pharmacy. Do you think a Pharmacy degree would also be suitable for going into cosmetic science?

Hi Sam, I believe a bachelors at least is required!

does biology is needed to be a cosmetic chemist ? by the way I studied entrepreneurship science ( physics, chemistry,accountancy and economy )

Is there any post graduate diploma for this after completing bachelor in pharmacy??? Please help me!!!
