Secondo Semestre (01/03/2026 - 15/06/2026)

Syllabus

Course Objectives


Upon completion, students will be able to:

Identify and classify key cosmetic raw materials and their uses
Understand the biochemical mechanisms underlying skin function
Evaluate the functionality and purpose of active cosmetic ingredients
Integrate cosmetic and nutritional knowledge for dermo-functional product design
Match skin needs with targeted ingredient solutions

Course Prerequisites

none

Teaching Methods


The course is delivered in blended mode, with 50% in-person and 50% online activities, combining TEL-DE (content delivery) and TEL-DI (interactive learning).
Students will engage in case study analysis, individual and group work, including e-tivities, aimed at applying theoretical knowledge and developing operational and professional skills

Assessment Methods


The assessment of the student's learning is based on an oral exam, aimed at ascertaining the knowledge and in-depth and critical understanding of the topics inherent to the course program. The final evaluation is considered positive if the student, in addition to knowing the topics of the program, presents them clearly and with appropriate terminology. The grade is expressed in thirtieths. The exam is considered passed upon reaching a score of 18/30. The exam sessions take place during the academic calendar of the educational offer in the number indicated by the Degree Course Council in Cosmetic Technological Sciences.
The final grade will be awarded according to the following scale: • 18–22/30: sufficient knowledge but with gaps; • 23–25/30: fair knowledge, clear exposition; • 26–28/30: good mastery of the contents; • 29–30/30: excellent knowledge, ability to connect and contextualize; • 30 cum laude: correct answers to all questions
