In-Cosmetics' Conference Programme to Feature New Speakers

The leading personal care ingredients exhibition, In-cosmetics, scheduled to be held from 17-19 April 2018 in Amsterdam, has recruited more than 20 new speakers this year who will share their knowledge and expertise at its conference and seminar programme.

At the workshop on suncare protection, the skin and the electromagnetic spectrum will be moderated by Dr. Karl Lintner, President of KAL’IDEES, with Dr. Mathias Rohr lined up to discuss non-invasive in vivo SPF testing by HDRS – Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy. Four further experts will join the panel to examine the big questions in the industry, such as what is new in protecting the skin against the radiation of the electromagnetic spectrum and whether we need regulatory action regarding blue light and infrared irradiation claims.

Speaking at In-cosmetics for the first time is Ms. Emma Fric, Head of Research & Future Insight, Peclers-Paris, who will take a ‘Marketing Trends’ session on the Latin American beauty landscape. In her presentation, visitors will learn about the visionary socio cultural and beauty trends that will impact visitors’ businesses and shape consumer desires in the next few years. A further session in this theatre by new speaker Ms. Paula Cardoso, Head of Innovation Acceleration at Bloomoon, will look at the acceleration factor for innovation in the beauty industry, alongside colleague Ms. Houda Lazaar, Innovation Business Developer. Cosmetic companies face many challenges, both when innovating quickly and on a long-term basis and this session examines them.

Yet another highlight is a round-table in the ‘Marketing Trends Theatre’ which will see new speakers Ms. Camilla Marcus-Dew, Co-Founder of the ethical luxury personal care brand The Soap Co; and Ms. Zeze Oriaikhi-Sao, Founder of the luxury fragrance, bath and body care range from South Africa Malée Natural Science, present their arguments in the case: Are Indie brands still worth the hype?
