The Society of Cosmetic Scientists (SCS) is to introduce a new competition to find the year’s most Innovative Cosmetic Formulation. The challenge is to create the most innovative cosmetic formulation of 2015 and the competition is open to all exhibitors at this year’s SCS Formulate (17-18 November, Ricoh Arena, Coventry, UK). The winning formulation will be announced during SCS Formulate 2015.
“I recently saw a quote saying ‘The best way to kill an idea is to take it to a meeting’,” said SCS President, Steve Barton. “I believe the best way to grow an idea is to share it. And if it’s an idea for a cosmetic formulation, there’s nowhere better than SCS Formulate!”
The SCS is dedicating the Innovative Cosmetic Formulation award to Laura Marshall, who passed away so suddenly and tragically in October 2014. Laura made a huge contribution to the Society, organising many events, but she was particularly closely associated with SCS Formulate. The SCS wants to mark her contributions and remember her.
