Why Attend
With 2.35 billion Euros being spent on cosmetic product R&D in Europe, are you ready for the next generation of skin care?
Skin Microbiome continues it's reign as the 'biggest skincare trend' of the last two years, according to major market researchers and beauty bibles alike. This year, we present the first dual-track, data-focused skin microbiome congress:
Data Track: focuses on the hard data that supports and legitmises product and research claims while driving increased understanding of the skin microbiome.
- Commercial Track: tackles the challenges faced when building a commercially viable skin microbiome company, optimising your supply chain and executing successful communication strategies.
Discover the potential of prebiotic, probiotic and postbiotic products being developed to protect and promote a healthy microbiome and ultimately combat dermatological conditions from acne and eczema to dandruff and skin allergies. Don't miss your chance to understand the next generation of skincare products!
