Beauty By Design: Conversations with the Women Shaping Cosmetic Science

Overview

A virtual conversation presented by CEW in partnership with the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC)

Behind every breakthrough on the shelf is a scientist, formulator, or inventor who saw what others missed. This year, CEW and NYSCC selected 35 Innovators from hundreds of nominations submitted across the scientific beauty community. They span five categories: Formulation & Cosmetic Chemistry, Ingredient Innovation, Natural & Sustainable Formulation, Product Development & R&D, and Emerging Innovator, which recognizes rising talent under 35.

In this virtual panel, honorees from across those categories go beyond their résumés to show how innovation actually happens. They’ll share the discovery that changed their thinking, the setbacks that sharpened their work, and how they turn complex science into products consumers trust. Expect candid talk on the future of sustainable chemistry, what’s next in active ingredients, how R&D and brand teams can work together more effectively, and the advice they wish they’d heard at the start of their careers.

Whether you work in the lab, in marketing or in the C-suite, you’ll come away with a clearer view of where beauty science is headed, and of the women leading it there.
