Learning outcomes - knowledge

Student W1: knows basic concepts of general and inorganic chemistry (K_W01); W2: knows the fundamental groups of inorganic cosmetic raw materials, chemical properties, reactivity, origin, and cosmetic application of selected elements and inorganic compounds (K_W05, K_W12, K_W17).

Learning outcomes - skills

Student U1: can apply basic concepts of general and inorganic chemistry, understands and explains fundamental trends in the properties of elements and their compounds, can describe basic inorganic processes, and characterize the elements and chemical compounds used in cosmetics (K_U01, K_U02, K_U04); U2: knows how to synthesize simple inorganic compounds used in cosmetics, quantify them and study their chemical properties (K_U03).

Learning outcomes - social competencies

Student K1: uses the previously acquired knowledge to solve new problems, is a vigilant observer, critically analyzes the obtained results, and uses once gained experience to solve new problems (K_K01).
