IFSCC unveils Cannes line-up for 35th Congress
The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) has revealed the line-up for its 35th Congress in Cannes, France on 15-18 September. Under the theme of ‘The Future
is Science’, the event is expected to welcome over 1,000 participants, who will have the privilege of attending 68 selected conferences and exploring 650 posters presented by international experts over three days. The 35th Congress will focus on
three key topics: skin and hair health and wellbeing; holistic sciences; and diversity and personalization. Almost 1,200 submissions were
received by the scientific committee with 55% coming from Asia, 32% from Europe and 13% from the Americas. Organised by the Société
Française de Cosmétologie and supported by major names in the
international cosmetics industry, the 2025 IFSCC congress, under the Presidency of Dr Christine Lafforgue, will be hosted at the Palais des Festivals, in Cannes. Professors Thierry Passeron,
David Sander, Marc-André Selosse, Jin Qu, Nina Jablonski and Dr. Anke Hadasch will each introduce one of the scientific half-days of the congress, following the ‘out of the box’ morning sessions by Paul Matt, Gilles Bœuf and Luc Julia, designed to inspire unconventional thinking and explore the unexpected as a source of creativity for cosmetology.
On September 15, a workshops’
day led by specialists will precede the three official days of the congress. Each session will provide
participants with cutting-edge insights to enhance their work; places are limited. Finally, a dedicated area will host some 30 exhibitors showcasing their services and technologies. Designed to promote the latest
scientific advances in cosmetology, the 35th Congress is the annual opportunity to federate the IFSCC’s worldwide network made up of over 16,000 individual members from 51 Societies in 81 countries, in interaction with academic and industrial players in the cosmetics sector.
