Spa Science combines experiments from two of the LYSC’s most popular workshops, Cosmetic Chemistry and Make and Test your own Shampoo. All students will have the opportunity to make bath bombs, lip balm and shampoo.

A wide range of chemistry topics will be covered including chemical equations, neutralisation reactions, pH, states of matter, properties of oils, waxes and detergents, emulsification and ionic chemistry.

By the end of the workshop students will have a better understanding of the chemical processes behind the manufacture of a wide range of cosmetics.
