Personal Care Products Terminology & Techniques

Course Description

Link experience to terminology in this hands on course. Through focused sessions, be introduced to detailed qualitative characteristics (descriptors) and quantitative aspects (intensity scales) for descriptive analysis across common classes of personal care products. Learn language for communicating and evaluating attributes of personal care products for all stages of development, maintenance and marketing. Review established testing procedures with consideration on how to establish new ones. Discuss how to use descriptive information to tell the story of products and to decode consumer research.
