For more than 50 years, the University of Cincinnati has led cosmetic science education, preparing professionals to excel in one of the most lucrative science-driven industries. With a 100% Master of Science in Cosmetic Science through UC Online, students learn the scientific, technical, and regulatory skills needed to drive innovation across all categories of personal-care products without pausing their lives or careers.
As part of UC’s James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy, the program explores the full lifecycle of cosmetic product development—from understanding raw materials, to formulation, performance testing, safety assessment, and customer considerations once the product is ready for the market. Students learn how to formulate safe, effective, and environmentally responsible products for human use.
Course topics include formulation science, colloid and polymer chemistry, OTC pharmacology, cosmetic microbiology, regulatory affairs, fragrance science, statistical data analysis, and hygienic manufacturing. Our faculty bring extensive academic and real-world expertise from industry experience at companies including: P&G, Amway, SC Johnson, and Unilever.
Designed for working professionals, the program through UC Online offers part-time flexibility, year-round application cycles, and an optional one-week hands-on laboratory course in Cincinnati for those interested in an in-person formulation training. Graduates are prepared for advanced roles in formulation, R&D, product innovation, quality, safety, and regulatory positions in the beauty sector across the world.
