What field of science or technology does medicines and beauty products belong to ?

Question

please help me. im so confused. i dont know where beauty products and medicines belong to what field. Your answers will be very helpful!

Answer 1

Actually, they both fall scientifically in the field of Pharmaceuticals. or the understanding of that field which is Pharmacology.

Answer 2

Beauty products are close to regular chemistry and clinical research. I guess you are talking actually designing them and making formulas.

They are really two separate fields though.

Cosmetics are mainly just that, just for the surface and top layer of skin, whereas medicine affects the entire thickness of the skin or the entire body.

If I had to narrow them down I would say Dermatology and Pharmacy. They are very close, good question.
