Natural and organic cosmetic standards are gaining popularity, however the certification route is littered with technical hurdles. How do formulators develop natural / organic yet effective and aesthetic cosmetics? In partnership with Organic Monitor, this workshop highlights the major technical and formulation issues associated with such products, providing practical advice and solutions to cosmetics and ingredients companies.
