Descriptif
Following the successful 2019 edition of the International Interdisciplinary Conference titled “Skin Models in Cosmetic Science: Bridging Established Methods and Novel Technologies” held in Tours (France), the event is back for a 2nd edition. This event will take place as an online conference.
The conference aims to gather industry scientists and academics to discuss the state-of-the-art in the research and development of skin models and novel analytical techniques for efficacy and safety testing of cosmetic products. Cosmetic science is a buzzing field driven by constant innovation therefore testing, measuring, evaluating are essential to demonstrate innocuity and/or effectiveness of skincare products while durability and personalisation have become key market trends.
Talks and discussions will contrast various industrial and academic viewpoints and visions regarding the characterisation and evaluation of cosmetic products, particularly as these relate to the use of in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models of human skin and recent progress in methodologies, technologies and instrumentation. Multi-techniques, multi-scales approaches, non-invasive and non-destructive analysis, hold promises for better characterisation of reconstructed skin models, studying physiological processes and visualise the effects of skincare products from bench top experiments to volunteers.
Sharing among researchers, suppliers, manufacturers, and other actors of the cosmetic industry is sought to provide a snapshot of latest scientific results and achievements but also to discuss current challenges to be addressed.
The region Centre-Val de Loire Regional Council actively supports the research and development in the field of cosmetic sciences. Held in the heart of the Cosmetic Valley technopole, the Conference is meant to promote national and international collaborations across industry and academia. Regional, national and international scientists in the field are strongly encouraged to attend and present their research. While a panel of renowned speakers will be invited, slots for oral presentations will be dedicated to rising scientists in the field to offer them a chance to present their work and to encourage their participation in the discussions.
The organising committee is very much looking forward to welcoming you.
This international conference is organised in the framework of the COSMETOSCIENCES ARD CVL Programme.
