BIO 1050 - FYS: Pretty or Nasty: The World of Cosmetics
Credit(s): 3
The popularity of cosmetics has increased significantly during the 20th century in western societies, particularly in the U.S. This course looks at cosmetic use from its beginning more than 6,000 years ago to the present time, when it comprises a worldwide, $18 billion industry. The class will first participate in a professional make-up session, then move on to investigate the role of cosmetics in self-image as a more comprehensive understanding of the influence of the social environment, including the media. An introduction to cosmetic chemistry will allow students to evaluate safety and ethical issues. The course concludes with a personal reflection and analysis of cosmetic usage.
