Synopsis
- The global beauty market is valued at $483 billion, with the UK accounting for £8.7 billion ($ bn)
- Scientists ensure that beauty brands are early adopters and adapters of new sciences, from the digital revolution and the microbiome, through to omics.
- During the pandemic the beauty industry stepped up production of sanitisers and hand cleaners.
- Despite being essential to our wellbeing and using the same technologies as pharmaceuticals and food science, cosmetic science may be one science that you have overlooked.
In this engaging talk, Dr Barbara Brockway will be making the case for cosmetic science; showing how science underpins the lotions and potions we use to change our appearance, remain clean and smell nice. Trend driven and fast moving, cosmetic scientists ensure that beauty brands are early adopters and adapters of the new sciences, from the digital revolution and the microbiome through to Omics.
The sector punches way above its weight, raising public awareness of dangers such as skin cancer caused by sun damage. Indeed the pandemic saw the beauty industry stepping up production of lifesaving soaps and sanitisers. Despite being essential to our well-being and using the same techniques as those used in pharmaceutical and food science, cosmetic science may be the one science you have overlooked.
