29th IFSCC Congress | Innovate • Inspire • Imagine
Welcome
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 29th IFSCC Congress to be held at
Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida on October 23-26, 2016! The Congress
theme “Beyond Dreams into New Frontiers: Inspire, Imagine, Innovate” will come alive
in twelve scientific sessions covering important and emerging areas of cosmetic science
including biomimicry, the human microbiome, and sustainability. The Dolphin Resort and
the Walt Disney World Resort will offer a spectacular backdrop to this wonderful global
event.
The scientific sessions will also include invited keynotes that will inspire your imagination.
The Exhibition on Monday and Tuesday will offer a great opportunity for suppliers to
show their products and services and interact with all Congress attendees. The poster
session, lunches and all coffee services will take place in the Exhibitors Hall. The Social
Events will climax with the Closing Banquet that will be remembered for a lifetime.
All of this would not be possible without the help of our corporate sponsors and I’m
grateful to those companies that have already provided their generous support. Please
considering being a Congress Sponsor at the highest level possible.
Complete instructions on submitting a paper for a podium and/or poster presentation
along with submission deadlines are included in this Call for Papers. I encourage you to
contribute to the success of this meeting by submitting an abstract for consideration by
the Congress Abstract Review Committee. Our international list of expert reviewers, with
diverse scientific backgrounds, has been carefully selected so that each topic area will be
reviewed by at least 3 academic or industrial experts.
With this announcement, the Call for Papers is now officially opened!
Please visit our website at www.ifscc2016.com where more information will be detailed
as it becomes available.
Again, welcome and I look forward to seeing you in Orlando in October, 2016!
See you in Orlando!

Call for Papers
On behalf of the 2015 Society of Cosmetic Chemists’ Committee on Scientific Affairs
(COSA), it is my pleasure to invite the submission of papers for the 29th IFSCC
Congress. As we’re expecting hundreds of abstracts describing original work of
the highest caliber, the entire abstract management submission process will be
run through the ScholarOne system. COSA will notify authors regarding abstract
acceptance and the form of presentation (podium or poster) by January 31, 2016.
As you know, the theme for the Congress is Beyond Dreams into New Frontiers:
Inspire, Imagine, Innovate. COSA encourages you to submit your original work
that you deem would be of high interest to our international community. As a guide,
please consider submission of papers from the following topics:
Sun Protection & Beyond
Sun protection plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin with timeless beauty.
Submissions in this category may focus on increasing our understanding of the impact
of solar exposure on skin health, biology, aging, and beauty as well as breakthrough
strategies for enhanced sun protection, new photo stabilization strategies, novel
measurement techniques and fundamental studies on sunscreen film structure as it
relates to protection. Additional areas of interest include the psychology of beauty,
particularly as it relates to encouraging sunscreen usage and bringing sun protection
to under-protected populations as well as impacts of sun exposure on psychology and
well-being. Furthermore, current developments in photo-stability and high SPF/nonwhitening are also welcome.
Creating Loyal Scents — The Science of Fragrances
IMAGINE
How chemistry and nature combine to create fragrances that affect our mood,
memory and more. Submissions in this category should focus on topics inclusive
of aromatherapy, olfaction, synthetic vs natural, sensory, biology and aesthetics.
Additional areas of interest include formulation challenges, stability and innovative
packaging concepts. Other suggested areas of submissions are related to the
evaluation of emotion and the sensorial appeal of fragrances.

Inspired by Nature — Biomimicry
Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human
challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. With 3.8 billion
years of experimentation, nature has solved some highly relevant problems including
physical attachment, based on the hooks found on burrs spine (aka Velcro), selfcleaning surfaces based on super hydrophobic coating found on the Lotus leaf, glues
that bond underwater based on mussel adhesion proteins, or the development of
light, but strong protective armour based on spider silk. Submissions for this category
should showcase nature inspired technological solutions to cosmetic problems.
Emerging Market Trends and Insights
The personal care and beauty industry is driven by consumer demand and innovative
technologies. Submissions in this section should highlight the latest technologies, from
either a specialty ingredient or finished formulation perspective, and also examine new
applications and untapped markets. Further, this category can also include market
analysis and emerging trends amongst Millennials and Untapped markets.
Beauty with the Magic of Colors
Flawless beauty is very essential as it is the ultimate wish for anyone to achieve a
portrait type look without the help of a makeup artist. How does a change in color
change who we appear to be? How does a product or technology make us look
better? Submission in this category may focus on Color cosmetics, Nail Color, Lip
Color, Eye Color, Tattoos etc. Additional areas of interest to include how to achieve full
coverage and still maintain natural look, novel pigments with surface treatments or with
skin refractive index matching, color fidelity, shade forgiveness technology, long-wear
technologies, micro-encapsulation and optical measurement techniques.

Marketing to the Senses — Product Creation Based on Sensory Appeal
The sensorial properties of cosmetic products play an integral role in its acceptance in the market place.
Submissions in this category should highlight product innovation with specific sensorial properties in mind.
Additional topics may include aspects of sensorial measurement including, but not limited to, panel testing as well
as instrumental analyses that can be correlated with sensorial appeal. Contributions focusing on the rheological
profile of novel materials and formulations will be most welcome.
Breakthrough Concepts in Skin Biology and Microbiome
Will probiotic skin care products be the next new thing? Due to the advent of high-throughput molecular methods,
researchers have made significant advances in understanding the skin’s microbiome. Of the organs in the body,
the skin contains one of the more complex, microbiota signatures. New data regarding the role of microbiota in
skin biology and disease is rapidly emerging. Submissions for this session should focus on basic research in skin
microbiology, the application of microbiology data in product development, or translational research that correlates
microbiome data to skin pathology. The session may also include presentations that demonstrate a systems
biology approach to understanding skin biology.

The Balancing Act — Regulatory Compliance vs Innovation
In today’s heavily regulated climate, innovative companies are called upon to come up with not only new claims,
new chemicals and new formulations, but to also have their products “globally acceptable.” Submissions in this
category can include practical suggestions as to how to stay globally current in this ever-changing area, ways to
balance both innovation and compliance, and comparisons/contrasts of acceptable label claims or regulations in
different areas of the world.
Sustainability — Cosmetics for a Greener Future
Sustainability is here to stay. It’s about product innovation and business growth and formulators can make a
huge difference. Designing sustainability into cosmetic formulations is not only the right thing to do; it can confer
a competitive advantage. Using ethically sourced and bio-diverse ingredients is just one example. In addition to
sustainable formulation, submissions in this area can fall under the broader umbrella of sustainable manufacturing,
packaging, global regulatory guidelines and the challenges in the certification process. Other suggested topic areas
include analytical measurements of natural ingredients as well as guidelines on how to evaluate natural products.
Hair Care Technology
Technologies related to hair care include novel technologies for hair repair, hair styling, hair color management, hair
detergency, and hair biology. Submissions in this category may focus on increasing our understanding of the hair
structure from a biophysical and biological standpoint. Additional areas of interest are in the development of new
technologies to prevent hair damage from chemical treatments and in the prevention of hair color loss. Hair thermal
styling is also of great interest as well as novel techniques and molecules for use in hair styling.
Delivery Systems and Cosmetic Vehicles
For many cosmetic products, delivery of the active ingredient is key to achieving the skin benefit. Cosmetic
formulations may be leave-on or wash-off or even wash-in. The formulation may be designed to enhance or inhibit
skin penetration. Submissions in this category may include advances in skin delivery systems, colloidal science,
nano-technology, and novel product forms. Submissions may also include devices that aid delivery as well as in
vitro and/or in vivo methods and models for evaluating delivery.
Beauty has no Borders
It’s a small world after all and the quest for beauty is common everywhere. But skin and hair structure and function
vary greatly across ethnicity and developing cosmetics to meet the beauty needs of different populations is an
exciting and challenging field. We invite submissions under the broad topic of ethnicity and cosmetics ranging from
advances in our understanding about the similarities and differences to product innovation for a diverse world.
