The goal		To provide an understanding of the basic concepts and phenomena of polymers with respect to their application in cosmetic products. A biodegradable polymers which are used for encapsulation of cosmetic active substances are also covered, as well as encapsulation techniques.
The outcome		After the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they acquired knowledge on polymers in cosmetics; they are capable to choose a proper polymers to formulate and stabilize cosmetic products; capable to choose a proper polymers, as well as encapsulation technique for encapsulation of cosmetic active substances.
