Nuekie Skin of Color Academy
Advanced continuing education for licensed estheticians, nurses, and physicians — built on cosmetic chemistry, not guesswork. Earn the Nuekie Skin of Color Expert Certification.
Created by cosmetic chemist Eunice Cofie-Obeng — with programs and partners including the University of Michigan, Florida A&M University, and Hampton University.
The Curriculum
The certification is built on a five-phase clinical framework — a repeatable system for assessing, treating, and leading with confidence on melanin-rich skin. Master it, and you don't just follow protocols. You set the standard.
Learn to truly assess melanin-rich skin — what it’s telling you, and what standard training taught you to miss.
Identify the conditions, causes, and contraindications specific to skin of color — from hyperpigmentation to sensitivity.
Choose the right ingredients, protocols, and sequence for each client — grounded in cosmetic chemistry.
Deliver treatments that are safe, effective, and confident — with predictable outcomes on deep skin.
Step into authority — as the expert your clients trust and the go-to in your market.
