Notes from the Chair July 15, 2024 0 0 Notes from the Chair Kaylee Miller Dear Members, As the Chair of the New England Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NESCC), I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the unwavering support and dedication of our members over the years. Your commitment has been the cornerstone of our resilience and success, especially as we navigated the challenges of the "new normal." Without your continued involvement, we would not be where we are today. We are excited to announce our upcoming meeting on September 12th at Romaine's in Northboro, MA. This meeting promises to be an insightful and enriching experience for all attendees. We will delve into the thriving independent (indie) cosmetic industry, driven by consumer preference for innovative, niche products and ethical sourcing. Despite the competitive landscape, emerging brands have remarkable opportunities to flourish. Our featured speaker, Rachel Johnson, will provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of indie cosmetics, highlighting market trends and the challenges these brands face. Rachel will explore the rise of "clean beauty" and personalized formulations, alongside the intricacies of scaling production, navigating regulatory frameworks, and fostering customer loyalty. Central to her presentation will be a "Survival Guide" for indie brands, outlining actionable strategies for sustainable growth and long-term success. With her extensive scientific background and industry experience, Rachel aims to empower indie beauty entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in this dynamic market. Additionally, we are thrilled to invite you to our 9th Annual Golf Outing on October 2nd at Blissful Meadows Golf Club. This event is not only a wonderful opportunity to network but also a chance to enjoy a fun and relaxing day with fellow members and industry colleagues. The golf outing has always been a highlight of our annual calendar, and we look forward to seeing you there. At this time, we are still looking for sponsors for this outing, and any support would greatly help keep our chapter thriving. We are also excited to unveil our newly revamped NESCC website! Our updated site is now more user-friendly and makes it easier to find all past and future events. You can effortlessly register for upcoming events, check out notes and photos from past gatherings, and stay informed about upcoming seminars. We hope this improvement enhances your experience and keeps you more connected with our community. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and dedication. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing this journey together. Warmest Regards, Kaylee Miller Chair, New England Society of Cosmetic Chemists
