ABOUT SCS
Introduction to the
Education
A profound belief in the value of education lies at the heart of the Society. Our principal aim is to advance the science of cosmetics, an integral part of which is the provision of information and lifelong learning.
Events
The Society of Cosmetic Scientists holds several events throughout the year. Members can request a Certificate of Attendance for SCS-organised events, demonstrating their continuing professional development.
We have around 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.
As a not-for-profit organisation we are governed by our SCS Council, the decision-making committee who are made up of 9 ordinary members of the Society and 5 Officers of the Society who are all elected by Full Members of the Society.
