Advancing in the age of sustainability and well-being

Each year the in-cosmetics Formulation Summit focuses on the latest cosmetics trend and in 2021, the focus will be "Advancing in the age of sustainability and well-being". At each live conference, we aim to provide a highly educational learning experience. As a delegate, you will have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with globally renowned speakers and network with your peers.

Join the conversation

In response to this increasingly growing trend, the in-cosmetics Formulation Summit will delve into the various aspects of “good” science, that can enable formulators to create products that are fantastic for both the consumers’ well-being and the planet.

As a delegate at the 2021 summit, you will receive high-level talks and presentations, delivered by industry experts, that address both the formulation challenges and opportunities in developing personal care products. Be involved in the conversation and together, we can continue to develop the industry for the better.
