The New York Chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists is holding a one-day seminar on phytochemistry on September 18 at Seasons, Washington Twp., NJ.
This is a rapid course in Phytochemistry, which will cover the general chemistry of natural products from plants for skin health application. This course will be of great interest to cosmetic scientists, formulators, analytical scientists, chemists & biochemists who want to enhance their knowledge and capabilities using botanical ingredients in product development. It is assumed that the students attending this course will already have some basic knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry.
Course Outline
