Join us for a lunch and learn event surrounding ingredients!

This ingredient-focused class is designed to equip estheticians with advanced knowledge of active ingredients used in both professional backbar treatments and retail formulations. Understanding how ingredients function, interact, and influence skin health is essential for customizing protocols and making effective retail recommendations. Estheticians will gain the confidence to select and combine products to address a wide range of skin concerns — from acne and hyperpigmentation to aging and compromised barriers.

What You'll Learn:

1. Ingredient Categories & Functions

Humectants, Emollients, Occlusives – for hydration and barrier support
Exfoliants – including AHAs, BHAs, and enzymes for cell turnover
Antioxidants – to combat environmental damage and oxidative stress
Peptides & Growth Factors – for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation
Retinoids – for acne, texture, and aging
Brightening Agents – such as niacinamide, kojic acid, and licorice root

3. Retail Homecare Strategy

4. Ingredient Synergy & Safety

Why This Matters:

As skincare becomes increasingly ingredient-focused, clients are more educated — and often overwhelmed — by product options. This class empowers estheticians to cut through the noise with evidence-based knowledge, helping to build trust, enhance treatment outcomes, and drive retail sales through intentional recommendations.

We'll be serving a light lunch while you learn how to master ingredients.
