Cosmetic education falls under a vast number of topics, yet it has a limited number of courses across the United States. The industry continues to march further toward naturals and preservatives, presenting a need for further learning.

With the support of the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC), the University of Cincinnati (UoC) has developed a new graduate program: Hygienic Manufacturing of Cosmetic Products. In this sponsored podcast, K.P. Ananth (Ananthapadmanabhan), Ph.D., director of the cosmetic science program, shares with Peter Smedley, assistant editor of Cosmetics & Toiletries, its development.

Ananth also explains how the PCPC is connected and supports his future students: "One advantage of our specific cosmetic science program is that the students can hit the ground running when they want because they’ll have exposure to all aspects of cosmetic science."
