With the rapid growth of the cosmetics industry, the demand for diversified and interdisciplinary talent is increasing. However, a structural mismatch persists between current educational approaches and industry needs, particularly in aligning with the holistic education model, which emphasizes moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor development. To bridge this gap, Guangdong Pharmaceutical University has implemented a comprehensive reform of its holistic education system, aiming to cultivate well-rounded cosmetics professionals. Key initiatives include integrating professional ethics into moral education, strengthening the integration of theory and practice in intellectual training, emphasizing skin health management in physical education, enhancing aesthetic appreciation and creative thinking, and promoting labor spirit and practical skills through hands-on experiences. These reform efforts have yielded significant results, contributing high-quality talent to the cosmetics industry and offering a valuable model for other institutions seeking to align education with industry demands.
