About this Session
Cosmetics are essentially mixtures of chemicals, yet the demands placed on cosmetics and chemicals seem to be increasingly out of step. That we want safe and sustainable cosmetics is without question, yet the requirement placed on chemicals to demonstrate this can be at odds with both Cosmetic regulations, and the codes adopted by cosmetic formulators. Via short presentations from our expert speakers, and a panel discussion, we will look at the paradox this creates, and ask, is there a way forward?
