CHEMISTRY BASICS (module 1) — Cosmetic chemistry fundamentals — pH, delivery systems, emulsification, and how formulas actually work. ACTIVE INGREDIENTS (module 2) — Deep dive into retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides, and growth factors. FORMULATION ANALYSIS (module 3) — Reading INCI lists, spotting conflicts, comparing professional vs retail formulas. Compatibility matrix — which actives pair well and which conflict. Real-world formulation breakdowns of popular professional products. Protocol-building framework based on ingredient logic. Client communication guide — how to explain product choices simply. When you understand the chemistry behind formulas, you stop guessing and start prescribing. Your clients feel the difference — and so does your retention.
