this resource is designed to show real-life applications of science and showcase the variety of scientific careers available within the cosmetic, toiletry and perfumery industry. students often query the application of their learning and this website has been produced to put that learning in context and may prove useful in terms of introducing work-related learning. it is levelled to be accessible to all key stage 4 students and some sections of the resource are also suitable for key stage 3 students. there are also downloadable pdf documents for use in classrooms.
