About us
We have 1000+ members and are affiliated to the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC).
The main object of the Society is to advance the science of cosmetics. It does this by attracting membership among highly qualified individuals with both academic and industrial experience in the field of cosmetics and related sciences, as well as through its activities including publications, educational programmes and scientific meetings.
The Aims of the Society are:
- To advance the science of cosmetics and toiletries
- To provide the means for the dissemination and interchange of knowledge pertinent to cosmetic and related sciences
- To promote high ethical standards in cosmetic science
- To improve the professional status of members
- To encourage education and research in cosmetic and related sciences
- To ensure the long-term viability of the Society
- To maximise the accessibility of Society activities and encourage participation throughout the profession

'Recent developments in organic materials - healable polymers and functional hydrogels'
Modern developments in organic-based materials have been inspired by nature’s way of employing numerous weak non-covalent interactions between relatively small compounds via a process called ‘self-assembly’ to afford highly stable and functional materials. Materials generated by self-assembly possess attractive chemical and physical characteristics including the capability to be healed post exposure to mechanical stresses or changes in environmental conditions. This talk will review the topic of self-assembled organic-based materials and will highlight notable advances in the field such as healable polymers and hydrogels that have potential applications in cosmetics.'
