In Creative Cosmetics, children ages 12 and up learn about cosmetics and the science behind caring for their skin, hair and nails. The kit starts by teaching some basic dermatology and biology. Children then investigate the chemistry of oils, gels, and lotions. They can mix their own personalized beauty formulas from the cosmetic base substances in the kit and natural ingredients from the local market. For example, starting with a shower gel base, some lotion base is added, one of the pleasant fragrances is mixed in, some blue dye adds a hint of color, and finally the formula can be bottled, labeled, and presented as a gift. The kit also offers tips for cosmetic application and suggestions for proper hygiene to promote healthy skin. The kit includes seventeen different cosmetics base substances to make personalized makeup, lip gloss, body lotion, face crème, and shower gel.
Creative Cosmetics is the second kit in Thames & Kosmos’ Sophisticated Science line of science kits designed specifically for girls. The first kit, Perfume Science, that introduced children to the art and science of making fragrances, was released in 2004.
Creative Cosmetics includes a full-color, 48-page book that guides children through the science and history of cosmetics, and provides dozens of beauty recipes and techniques.
