Conference topics include:

  • Novel compounds for pharmaceutical, personal care and cosmetic formulations
  • Delivery of actives from topically applied formulations to skin, hair follicles, and nails
  • Solutions to challenges in skin delivery: formulation strategies and novel carriers for actives

  • Natural cosmetic and personal care actives for skin formulations
  • Novel formulation excipients
  • Reformulation of existing products
