Workshop: Hands-On Ingredients! (Room 210C/G)

Get your hands on the actual ingredients that make up most cleansers, moisturizers, masks and serums in this fast-paced, fact-rich three-hour workshop. You'll learn: how to recognize popular ingredients and their sources by key syllables; what surfactants, emulsifiers, preservatives, humectants, emollients and other ingredient families are doing for the product and the skin; the facts behind today's common myths and how to share this information with your clients; and you'll experience how cleanser, emulsion and other standard formulas are made. This is an essential class if you select products for your spa or your clients.
