About Me
Hello, my name is Zoya Saeed and I am a recent Life Science graduate from Queen’s University. I am beginning my journey in Seneca’s cosmetic graduate certificate program, and decided to create this site as I found a lack of resources to better understand the world of cosmetic science, especially at a beginner’s level. The site explains skincare ingredients, product formulas, and cosmetic science in a clear, approachable way for people without a chemistry background, as well as more detailed scientific explanations for those curious. Whatever your chemistry background, I hope this website has something for you!
