Practical science and cosmetics workshop

Bologna - CUBO at Torre Unipol
11 Dec 2026 - 12 Dec 2026

The world of cosmetics is constantly developing and evolving, always striving for green
yet functional solutions. While there are specialist cosmetics laboratories committed to developing safe and effective products and investing heavily in research, there is an increasingly curious and enterprising public that occasionally wants to try their hand at creating home-made products.

CUBO offers a course to introduce interested participants to the world of cosmetics and chemistry, explained in the simplest and most practical way possible and in complete safety, with a focus on “do-it-yourself”.

In association with Calipso Lab.
