Course objectives
The course Analysis of Cosmetic Ingredients and Products aims to introduce students to methods and procedures used in control practice to ensure an effective, reliable and safe cosmetic product. Explanations of the principles of analytical, chemical and physical methods used in the evaluation of individual quality indicators (identification, purity, content, stability) of cosmetic products are linked to the content of the Analytical Chemistry course.
Learning outcomes
The learning outcome of the course Analysis of cosmetic ingredients and products:
theoretical knowledge and practical experience of most of the methods used for complex evaluation of cosmetic products in accordance with the applicable regulations in the Czech Republic and the EU;
knowledge of methods for the evaluation of cosmetic products, namely: evidence of substances based on physical constants, by instrumental-analytical methods and by chemical reactions;
to experimentally perform stability studies of cosmetic products, evaluating relevant physical and chemical parameters including the detection and quantification of degradation products

Teaching methods
lecture, practical exercises, discussion between students and teacher
Assessment methods
Discussion of the teacher with students during laboratory exercises. For credit: independent completion of the practical task (identification and purity of the cosmetic substance) and the written test (knowledge of the laboratory exercises, equations and calculations) at the last practice (min 60%). For examination: successful completion of the written test (min 60%) consisting of open and closed questions (knowledge of the lectures and practice).
