The skincare brand OLAY has introduced a new specialty course on the online learning platform Coursera. OLAY’s inaugural specialization course on the platform, Introduction to Cosmetic Science and Ingredients, aims to teach students the foundations of skin care and inspire more students to pursue careers in cosmetic science.
Anyone interested in cosmetic science can apply for $2 million in scholarships offered by Coursera and OLAY over the course of three years. A one-year membership to Coursera Plus, which offers over 6,900 courses, entry-level Professional Certificates, and practical projects that impart business, technology, and data science skills relevant to the workforce, will be given to 5,000 winners between 2024 and 2026.
Cosmetic scientists working for the company will instruct this new specialization course.

These courses, created by Olay scientists, aim to simplify industry best practices and concepts. Anyone may master the fundamentals of the skincare industry and receive a cosmetic science credential on Coursera with courses taught by its very own scientists, regardless of whether the student is interested in skincare or is thinking about a career in the field.
