The Society of Cosmetic Scientists has revealed the full scientific programme for the 32nd IFSCC Congress in London this September.

Other keynote addresses will be made by Dr Tomonobu Ezure of Shiseido on a ‘new horizon in anti-ageing skin care’; Baroness Susan Greenfield on skin and the brain; and University of Oxford Professor Charles Spence on neuroscience-inspired multisensory cosmetics design.
The Congress sessions start on 20 September and will gather scientists from all over the world to present their latest research over three days of podium and poster presentations.
