    UEA Cosmetic Science Society

    Current
      Where science meets beauty. The Cosmetic Science Society aims to bring together students who are passionate about skincare, makeup, and cosmetic formulation. Our goal is to explore how chemistry, biology, and innovation come together to create the products we use every day. The society also provides a platform for science students who are interested in building a career in the cosmetic science industry. We aim to help members build connections, gain insights into the industry, and strengthen their CVs by facilitating communication with brands, researchers, and professionals. Through interactive activities such as DIY workshops, ingredient analysis sessions, brand collaborations, and guest talks from cosmetic scientists, we learn about the science behind beauty while celebrating creativity and diversity in the cosmetic industry. Whether you are studying a science-related degree, love experimenting with skincare, or are simply curious about how beauty products are made, this society is for you. Everyone is welcome to join and shine with us.
