A career in the cosmetics industry sounds very exciting, and I hope this information helps.
In addition to your sciences courses, I would recommend taking others focused on business, especially the fundamentals of running your own.
Being able to manage a company is important, and there are many mistakes you can avoid by being aware of what they are and how to address them.

Hi Fabiola,
As a cosmetic chemist, you'll develop and test skin cream, makeup, perfume and other beauty products. You're likely to work on the research and development team of a cosmetic company. Because your duties will involve partnering with co-workers, it's important to be able to function within a team or take a leadership role when needed. You'll also need to follow established safety precautions to avoid injury when working with chemicals.
Career Requirements
Although not required for most positions, larger companies may prefer cosmetic chemists to have a master's degree or Ph.D. in chemistry to qualify for lead researcher and management roles.
Several graduate programs allow students to concentrate their studies in cosmetic sciences, and some schools offer 5- or 6-year dual degree programs that combine bachelor's and master's degrees.
Graduate-level chemistry coursework includes extensive research and studies of statistical analysis methods. A variety of advanced chemistry classes are also required. Cosmetic sciences specializations include courses in skin and hair care, color cosmetics, polymer chemistry and product development.
