LEARNING OUTCOMES
Aim and objective of the course:
The aim of the course is for students to understand the side effects of cosmetics which are now widely used by both women and men.
The objective of the course is to teach students the basic principles of side effects from the use of cosmetics.
After the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Recognize the appearance of the side effects on the skin
- To manage the side effects of cosmetics within their specialty.
- Be aware of the toxicity caused by cosmetics
- Evaluate the safety of the cosmetic to be used based on the toxicity of the individual components
- Know the process of submitting a file for the safety of cosmetics
