Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
What is cosmetic engineering?
Cosmetic engineering is a structured approach to beauty product development combining formulation, testing, regulatory planning and technical execution within one integrated process. Unlike cosmetic science, which focuses on lab work and ingredients, cosmetic engineering connects every stage of development to ensure a product is technically sound, strategically aligned and ready for production. At Coseer, we apply this method to guide brands through a clear, logical development journey, helping them bring cosmetic ideas to life with precision, clarity and confidence.
Do I need a science background to understand the content?
Absolutely not! We’ve specifically designed this course for beginners with no prior scientific knowledge. Complex concepts are broken down into accessible language with visual aids and practical examples. Our step-by-step approach ensures you’ll build a solid foundation before tackling more advanced topics.
Will I be able to create my own products after taking this course?
This foundational course equips you with the essential knowledge to understand product development and effectively collaborate with labs and manufacturers. While you won’t be formulating complex products independently after just this course, you’ll have the critical framework to pursue more advanced formulation studies or work confidently with professional formulators to bring your vision to life.
Do I need special equipment or materials?
No specialised equipment is required for this foundational course. All you need is a computer to access the online materials and complete the interactive assignments. This course focuses on building your knowledge base rather than hands-on formulation, making it accessible to everyone regardless of their setup.
How is this different from free information online?
While there’s plenty of skincare information online, much of it is contradictory, outdated, or oversimplified. This course offers a structured, comprehensive curriculum developed by industry professionals who’ve successfully launched commercial products. You’ll receive verified, science-backed information in a logical progression that builds your understanding systematically—something that piecing together free resources simply can’t provide.
