We ended our Vitamin Boost Drive today! Young and old lined up for their vitamin B12 and B-Complex injections. André Oosthuizen, pharmacist and owner of Miederpark Pharmacy at Spar administered the shots himself. Mierderpark Pharmacy also received a donation fromTheo Eiendomme, because they could not attend our Drive themselves.
Thank you to Miederpark Spar Pharmacy for being such a big stakeholder in the success of this great initiative!

Remember to tag us in your Potch Academy photos and videos, we'd love to hear from you! #potchefstroomacademyfamily #potchefstroomacademyandsaahst

Check out the stunning results of our Somatology students, who explored all the different media in make-up.

Our second years Somatology students have a subject Aesthetics II, where they explore all the different media in make-up. With this practical, they needed to do make-up of either a Geisha or an Egyptian theatre make-up and then dress up accordingly with props. #potchefstroomacademyandsaahst #potchefstroomacademyfamily #somatology #theatremakeup

Our Somatology students recently received training

Our Somatology students recently received training from @creativeglamoursa on new techniques and products. The Creative Glamour range has recently undergone some changes, it is now vegan-friendly and is a 100% South African product.

Cynthia Farnham presented the training. She is part of the research, development and production team at Creative Glamour. She studied makeup artistry, special effects, and aesthetics and is currently busy with her last year of Cosmetic Chemistry studies.

“I believe you can never be over-educated or have too much experience. My advice to young makeup artists is to never let any opportunity slip by as you never know whom you will meet or where it will take you,” she shared.

The role of the Somatologist in the cosmetic indus

The role of the Somatologist in the cosmetic industry – a piece by Karen Stewart

Skin and beauty products advertise the inclusion of Vitamin –A, -C, and –E and have very clever slogans. But did you know that products only need 1% of an ingredient as a minimum quantity to have it appear on the label? Does that 1% really provide any beneficial properties?

That is why we have recently stepped up on our syllabus at Potchefstroom Academy. Our students are now taught the intricacies of cosmetic formulations, acquiring the ability to distinguish active ingredients and their effect on various skin types.
Consumers have questions and even worse… access to the internet. For this reason, a somatologist needs to be smarter than Google. At the least, a somatologist has to have more accurate knowledge of cosmetics ingredients. Somatologists need to explain that ‘natural’ is not always synonymous with ‘good’. And that toxins can sound scary but in small doses (like Botox) it is the most popular anti-aging procedure available today.

We need people in the industry who are informed, knowledgeable individuals who are trained to offer the best advice regarding skin and health care. We need somatologists!
