Spelman College has announced a concentration in cosmetic chemistry for those majoring in chemistry. The school will also offer a minor in cosmetic science for those majoring in other areas. The program, scheduled to be offered in the fall, is reportedly the first of its kind at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). In a release, the HBCU shared: "Research shows that Black women spent more than $7.4 billion on cosmetics and personal care products in 2022. However, Black beauty brands comprise 2.5 percent of the market. Spelman College is working to change that trajectory by ensuring that beauty products are developed with people of color in mind." "The goal of the cosmetic science program is to promote careers in the beauty industry, enhance the technical knowledge of students seeking to work in the beauty industry or pursue advanced studies in cosmetics, and ensure a gendered and racial perspective in product formulation and development." Dr. Leyte Winfield stated: "... this endeavor positions us to offer a culturally relevant perspective that is needed in the conversation on black hair and skin care and the development of cosmetics." Dr. Winfield is professor of chemistry and biochemistry and division chair for the Natural Sciences and Mathematics. She also previously conceptualized a cosmetic science certification program that was offered through eSpelman, Spelman's online education platform.

Why the Right Education Is the Future of Aesthetics. We speak to Neil Pybis and Angela Brennan from Skin Appeal Training Academy (SATA) about why the right education is the future of aesthetics.   Education and training have always been considered important in aesthetics (by reputable practitioners, at least), but the difference between the two – education or training - what constitutes an adequate level, what specific knowledge and skills are required, and who gets to decide – have long been more of a grey area. https://lnkd.in/ez6sME6n

🚩 Are You Pursuing a Career in Aesthetics? Read This First! Thinking about a career in aesthetics? Here’s what you need to know before enrolling in ANY COURSE: ✅ CPD is NOT a Qualification: CPD (Continued Professional Development) enhances skills but isn’t enough to qualify you as an aesthetician. ✅ Accreditations Matter: Ensure your courses are accredited by recognized bodies like Ofqual. Begin with foundational certifications from institutions like VTCT or ITEC, especially important for non-medics. ✅ Medics, Pay Attention: Your medical background helps, but specific aesthetic training is crucial. WATCH FOR RED FLAGS 🚩 Avoid courses that promise qualifications through CPD alone. 🚩 Check for proper accreditation. 🚩 Verify the credentials of the instructors. MAKE INFORMED CHOICES Do your research! Commit to courses that offer legitimate qualifications and will properly equip you to practice safely and effectively. 📞 Want to have a free consultation with us to see which courses you need to do?

📃Scientific paper: Are habitually barefoot children compelled to wear ill-fitting school shoes? A cross-sectional study Abstract: Background Research shows that ill-fitting shoes can negatively impact the development of the pediatric foot, in a very direct manner. The primary aim of the study was to determine if the dimensions of available prescribed school shoes fit the foot dimensions of habitually barefoot South African children and adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional observational study was conducted where static standing foot measurements of children and adolescents from urban and rural schools were obtained with a mobile caliper. The maximum heel-toe-length and foot width with an added 10 mm toe- and width fit allowance to each participant, were compared to the corresponding school shoe length and shoe width available in retail. A mixed model ANOVA was used to compare foot dimensions between gender, age and side. Results Six hundred and ninety-eight school children ( N  = 698) (431 girls; 267 boys; average age 10.86 years, SD = 2.55) were participants. A total of seventy-seven ( N  = 77) black coloured prescribed school shoes currently available in retail ranging from different styles and brands were measured. Results show that, comparing the shoe length and maximum heel-toe-length of participants, as well as taking 10 mm toe allowance into account, fifty-nine percent (59%) of children wore shoes that were not the correct length. With regards to the shoe width and the added 10 mm of width fit allowance, ninety-eight percent (98%) of the shoes worn by participants were too narrow for t...
