The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) is looking ahead and preparing for the 32nd edition of the IFSCC Congress, which will be held at the Park Plaza Hotel, Westminster, London from Sept. 19-22, 2022.

Organized by the SCS, the title of the 32nd IFSCC Congress London is “Where Beauty, Science and Innovation Meet.” Organizers said that podium and poster presentations are invited on three supporting themes:

• Beauty of the new age;
• Science for our time; and
• Innovation for tomorrow’s world.

These wide-ranging themes will include sessions on well-aging, sensory science, the application of artificial intelligence in the cosmetic industry as well as neuroscience genomics, microbiota research, practical ingredient technology, manufacturing innovation and many more topics.

“Science has been very much at the fore in recent months,” said Judi Beerling, past president of SCS and chair IFSCC 2022 steering committee. “At a time when health, our mental and physical well-being, and that of our planet, is more important than ever, the cosmetic industry helps people to look and feel great— as well as stay safe. Science is driving our knowledge about how to do this in a sustainable way, which is incredibly exciting and absolutely essential.”

Bringing together cosmetic science thought leaders from every part of the industry and academia this showcase event for both fundamental and applied cosmetic research will be back in the UK for the first time in 20 years in 2022.

“We are preparing a groundbreaking event that will feature leading research, talk about future trends and highlight the constant innovation that drives our industry,” said Beerling.

According to Beerling, the podium presentations, exhibition stands and hundreds of posters will come together to form “three days of the best in international cosmetic science and technology.”
