Natural and Biobased Cosmetic Ingredients Conference Returns To Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2027

The Natural and Biobased Cosmetic Ingredients Conference will take place at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on April 19-20, 2027. 

This year’s conference will focus on the convergence of biotechnology, green chemistry and digital innovation, illustrating their collective role in shaping a more competitive, sustainable and scientifically rigorous future for the cosmetic industry.

Call for Presenters & Poster Sessions

The two-day agenda will be “single-track”, so participants are exposed to adjacent topics and new ideas. Presenters will speak to the entire body of attendees. They will be given 30 min so there’s sufficient time to communicate key results and concepts.

Reserve your spot now as the conference will accommodate about 25 presentations.

The first step is to indicate your interest in an oral and/or poster presentation early by contacting the conference chair at [email protected] along with a proposed title. 

Examples of Topics

• Natural Rheology Modifiers
• Microbial and Fermented Bioactives
• Advanced Formulation and Delivery
• Digital Innovation and AI
• Sustainability and Regulatory Factors
• Targeted Skin Health Applications of Natural Bioactive Ingredients

Poster sessions each day and eating meals together in a single shared space will encourage conversation. The meeting format will enable relationship building that extends beyond the immediate event.

Early registration costs are low (post-education working professionals, $450; pre-doctoral students $150) and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner during the two-day conference.
