Details

Curù Skin Inc. is seeking to evaluate a new raw material for its potential use in personal care applications. The project aims to compare this new raw material with existing ones on the market to assess its effectiveness and competitiveness. The goal is to determine the raw material's potential and suggest avenues for further research and development. Learners will be tasked with creating prototypes for selected personal care applications, such as creams or lotions, using the new raw material. The project will also involve developing a basic understanding of the raw material's scientific and biotechnological properties, including its function, features, and ideal formats for various applications. This will help in identifying processes to protect or enhance its composition and performance compared to other raw materials available.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a comprehensive report comparing the new raw material with existing ones, highlighting its potential and competitiveness.
