Leading Cosmetic Chemists Association &

Global Trend Forecaster to Educate Beauty Industry with CosmeTrends and Special Sessions at Suppliers’ Day New York

(New York, NY, March 2018)—The New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with PeclersParis to produce CosmeTrends: Formulating the Future of Beauty, an exclusive newsletter that offers unique content on forward-looking trends that will impact future cosmetic innovations and new product developments.  PeclersParis will also curate a session at Suppliers’ Day at the NYSCC’s flagship event, taking place May 15-16, 2018 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.

“Together with NYSCC, this exciting new collaboration aims to bring together scientific expertise, art, style and creative magic to inspire Suppliers’ Day participants and industry specialists across all sectors,” said Eric Duchamp, Global CEO, PeclersParis.

“This new partnership with PeclersParis will add another layer of thought-provoking information to Suppliers’ Day and help cosmetic chemists and product development teams learn about innovative technologies and new formulas that will resonate in the years ahead with consumers,” said Cathy Piterski, Chair, NYSCC.

Leading up to Suppliers’ Day in May, CosmeTrends is being emailed to NYSCC members and PeclersParis subscribers and explore these four important trends:

-THE ART OF LIVING: BIOTECH SOLUTIONS FOR THE FUTURE

The microbiome and biogenetic technologies are shifting the paradigms of hygiene, beauty and personal care. Formulating cosmetics will become an art of playing with living, tailor-made solutions.

-TOWARDS A MORE EMOTIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Looking forward, scientific results, processes and technological claims will need to become more emotional through poetry, art and creative ingenuity: from reason-to-believe to reason-to-feel. We will explore how scientific proof and research will need to sustain organic and vegan performance.

-THE BEAUTY OF LESS IS MORE

As concerns for transparency, traceability and simplicity grow among consumers, the beauty and potency of unique ingredients and raw materials – as well as minimalist formulas – will play a key role in cosmetic developments of tomorrow.

-THE ART OF FORMULATING FOR AN EXPERIENTIAL CONSUMER

Formulating cosmetics and personal care products must now take into consideration the DIY trend and respond to digital personalization, empowering consumers with an appropriation of rituals, formulas and functions for an augmented, more customized and emotional beauty experience.

PeclersParis curated session, Where Culture Meets Science: Forecasting Consumer Needs that will Fuel Beauty Innovation, at Suppliers’ Day takes place on Wednesday, May 16^th, at 8:00 a,m.
