Cosmetics Chemistry Trip

Laura Rudoe of Evolve Organic Beauty treated us to a tour of the whole process that goes into making her products, from formulation to packaging and shipping.

We met the Senior Formulator, Alexis, who talked us through the process of developing new products and his journey through education and work before he led a hands-on master-class where we all got to make a coffee body scrub. This was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to explore how science sits at the core of a successful business.

Students really enjoyed the trip; in particular, seeing how a small amount of product made was then scaled up to an industrial standard was really interesting. They enjoyed learning about the way the products are first designed and found the process of making the body scrub really fun.

technological community or to a particular field of study. Amber’s award is exceptional as the Gold award is targeted at Sixth Form students!

Miss Percy would like to thank the parents, alumni and friends who have generously contributed their time to mentor students. The depth and breadth of their knowledge was hugely helpful. The CREST team look forward to reading more exciting projects next year.
