IFSCC 2026 CONGRESS PREVIEW 17 Locock leads CSIRO’s Bioactive Natural
Products team, overseeing expertise in botanical chemistry, analysis, and process scale-up. Her keynote will explore how respectful
partnerships between Indigenous knowledge holders and Western scientists are driving the development of novel skin-health ingredients while supporting ethical research, Indigenous leadership and community benefit. The second keynote, on 30 September, is ‘An
integrative longevity approach to modern skin health’ by Dr. Luc Aguilar, chief scientific officer of advanced research at L’Oréal R&I. His keynote explores how advances in longevity
science, artificial intelligence and multi-omics are transforming our understanding of skin resilience, enabling predictive diagnostics and personalised interventions that target the biological hallmarks of ageing. Also on 30 September, the third keynote
is ‘Artificial Intelligence Reshaping Cosmetic Innovation and Personalized Beauty’ by Dr. Fan Yang, chief R&D officer at Mageline. This keynote explores how AI integrates skin
characteristics, environmental factors, lifestyle data and consumer preferences to enable more precise product development and personalised skincare solutions. On 1 October, the fourth and final keynote is
‘The Evolution of New Ingredient Innovation and Development through a Sustainable Lens’ by Dr. Julie Edgar, chief technology officer at Lubrizol. This keynote explores how sustainable design
principles can be integrated with emerging technologies to accelerate the creation of high-performing, environmentally responsible ingredients for the cosmetics industry.
Network opportunities The second key element of attending the IFSCC Congress is networking, our guests are looking for human connection and community. An IFSCC Congress is a rare gathering of the world’s top cosmetic scientists, industry leaders, and academic minds in one place. People come to build strategic partnerships,
exchange ideas across borders and challenge their thinking. The informal conversations during coffee breaks and social events often spark the most valuable global collaborations.
Professional growth The third is professional growth. Attendees look for a holistic experience: learning from global experts while experiencing a world-class destination like Perth, Australia. Across every stage of my career, not a single
IFSCC Congress or conference has failed to shed light on emerging topics, proving that today’s specialized research and presentations are tomorrow’s industry mainstream. Whether you are sitting in a talk that provides
a completely new angle on a persistent challenge or debating data with a peer in front of a poster, these experiences act as powerful igniters of thought and personal growth. These discoveries will provide a better
understanding of consumers and their needs,
