Sharing experience in creativity

This is achieved through a richness and diversity of content in scientific and technical papers, and an exhibition that encourages an exchange of knowledge, experience and expertise – key elements in creativity. SCS Formulate is a major presentation of advances in cosmetic science and the development of personal care products that is organised by the UK Society of Cosmetic Scientists (SCS). It is specifically designed for formulators working in the personal care market. This year, the dates are 18 and 19 November. The significant event takes place in the UK every year, and the exhibition features experts from many of the leading international suppliers of raw materials, ingredients and services – companies that specialise in offering everything from fundamental ingredients to specialty raw materials and actives. The scientific/technical programme is wide ranging and features authoritative Creating Cosmetics Workshops and freeto- attend TechFocus presentations. SCS Formulate has been serving the personal care market for 10 years. Its success has been achieved by delivering an applications orientated mix of the latest ingredients and formulation techniques with market driven data. For the event this year, the SCS is planning to combine the expertise, experience and enthusiasm generated over its first decade with exhibitor resources to feature the ingredients, formulations, science and techniques that will shape the creation of personal care products for years to come.

New venue
Such a presentation needs a suitable venue – one with the range of facilities and prestige that can accommodate such ambitious plans and is located to suit just about everyone who would want to attend such a landmark event. The venue must enhance the practical value that makes SCS Formulate unique. The SCS has now found such a new venue – The Ricoh Arena on the outskirts of Coventry, right in the heart of the UK. The Ricoh Arena is a new venue with a vitality, energy and format that superbly reflects the personal care market. Being near to four major UK motorways, close to a rail station – directly linked to London – and a short distance away from an international airport, it is extremely well located.

Tantalising potential
For every attendee, SCS Formulate offers tantalising potential to solve technical issues, find new ideas or discover innovative concepts that can spark a whole new generation of products. Exceptional outcomes can be achieved at an industry gathering of like-minded people in a focused and stimulated environment. For everyone working in the personal care market, at every level, SCS Formulate (www.scsformulate.co.uk) offers ideas, inspiration, answers and a fresh perspective on key issues. The event positively assists in the development of new concepts and products, and furthers the adopting of exacting standards.
