I am Anushka Nadkarni, a MS graduate from Fairleigh Dickinson University. My major was Cosmetic Science which introduced me to the wonderful world of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. Last year was my first year as an attendee at the NYSCC held in May. During registration, I came across this workshop called the Future Chemists Workshop and it instantly caught my eye.
As future Cosmetic Chemists, I strongly feel that it is important for all of us to know and understand the various aspects of formulation, and the FCW was a one stop answer to it. It was conducted in 2 sessions and that gave us the liberty to choose the times we preferred. It was roughly a 3-hour session which began with talks from various Scientists from the Beauty Industry and their take on formulations. Later, we were guided through the entire process of making Shampoos, Conditioners and creams and were allowed to conduct our own experiments.
I would especially like to throw some light on the efforts put forth my Mr. John Carola and Mr. Thomas Drwiega for their efforts in making the FCW such a hit both times!
Big Congratulations to the team and we look forward to similar workshops in the near future.
Good luck!
