WHO WE ARE
What is a
Cosmetic Scientist?
Cosmetic Scientists are involved in the research and development of cosmetics, hair care, perfumery and toiletry products, ensuring not only that they do what they are intended to but above all that they are safe to use for the consumer.
Although science-based, this job requires a lot of creativity, an eye for colour and a nose for smell. You’ll find yourself working across multiple departments, including marketing and production, so there is never a dull moment.

“I have very much enjoyed working with the SCS team to develop this fantastic new course. It took several years and a real team effort to create a course that is accessible to everyone, both inside and outside the industry, who is curious about the cosmetic products they use everyday.”
