Chemistry of Cosmetics
Project Description
In this chemistry project, we will be investigating the chemistry of cosmetics and ultimately making our own line of cosmetic products. As a class, we will be exploring how to use our chemistry knowledge to create a product, test the product and make changes, and finally present the product in a presentation at a conference of peers.
Chemistry Topics
- Phase changes
- Solubility
- Solutions and mixtures
- Reactions in aqueous solutions
- pH scale
- Organic chemistry
