Sustainable Cosmetic Product Development

Course Summary

The consumer market has evolved over time along with the global green movement. Today’s consumers are conscientious buyers who do not simply buy into a green image; they want to see proof that the manufacturers are engaged in business practices that would ensure a common, sustainable future for all, in both economic and ecological sense. In short, they demand reassurance and actual substantiation of sustainability.
