Event Date: February 21, 2024; Time: 5 pm; Location: Vaccaro's Trattoria

Lake Erie Chapter Webmaster 0 0

Abstract: Consumer demand for cosmetic products that do not contain preservatives has led to an increase in products that reduce the risk of microbial growth by other means.  In some cases, it may be a result of the formula used.  Alternatively, certain product forms make it more difficult for microbes to flourish.  Waterless products are one example of a category can be developed without a preservative due to the low water activity observed in most formats.  A background on water activity will be discussed, and we will take a look at the waterless category and the variety of product forms within it that are being manufactured for the beauty and skincare industry.

The Future of Beauty: How AI Will Affect Cosmetic Chemists and Formulation

Event Date: November 14, 2023

Lake Erie Chapter Webmaster 0 0

Abstract: In this presentation, we look at the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of cosmetic chemistry and formulation. As the beauty industry evolves, AI will increasingly become an influential player, reshaping the job of a cosmetic formulator. We will delve into how AI is being used to prop up marketing stories but also how it can have real impacts on ingredient research and formulation. We cover the implications of AI for cosmetic chemists, how AI can automate certain tasks and provide new opportunities. The presentation will highlight the need for chemists to adapt and upskill, embracing AI as a tool rather than a threat. Join us as we journey into the future of beauty, where AI and human ingenuity can work hand in hand to create innovative, effective, and personalized cosmetic products.
