There are millions of skin care and cosmetic products on the market, many of which claim to do wonderful things.
In recent times, environmental groups have been claiming that many common cosmetic ingredients are toxic. How is a consumer to know which products will work as claimed and which might be harmful?
Louise covers the basic scientific concepts behind beauty products. Armed with this knowledge, seminar attendees will learn the basics of how to interpret product claims and ingredient lists for various beauty products, and thus be able to make better, more informed choices for themselves.
