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
