How this differs from the Cosmetic Product Making Workshop

IICTN also runs a separate 1-day Cosmetic Product Making Workshop for a quick, hands-on introduction to making cosmetic products. The Diploma in Cosmetic Formulation is a different, longer product: a structured 3-month programme covering the underlying science, ingredient selection, formulation techniques and quality/regulatory basics needed to work in product development professionally, not a one-day workshop.
