Decoding Our World with Chemistry: Skincare

About this Course

Chemistry helps us understand how the world works—including the products we use every day. In this course, examine the science behind skincare through a chemistry-first perspective. Investigate how active ingredients interact with skin, explore the roles of common formulation components, and evaluate claims made by the beauty industry. By analyzing sunscreens, serums, and other everyday products, you’ll build scientific literacy and critical thinking skills that help separate marketing hype from chemical reality.
