IFSCC 2015 Richard Scott – Editor, Personal Care
Focus on cosmetic science facts at Zurich conference
The Swiss SCC will be welcoming the international cosmetics community to Zurich from 21-23 September 2015 for the 23rd IFSCC Conference. To be held at Kongresshaus Zürich, which is located next to Lake Zürich with a breathtaking view of the Alps, the conference will focus on evidence-based cosmetic science under the title ‘More Facts, Less Illusions’. In the 20 years that have passed since the conference was last held in Switzerland, the cosmetics industry has changed beyond all recognition, with a raft of new legislation and a far more informed consumer base. These changes bring to the fore a need to focus on undiluted facts and champion the excellent science and technology being produced around the globe.
The high level programme of lectures will be structured around a series of keynote speeches from some eminent industry scientists. Following is a look at each of the keynote speakers plus an overview of the conference programme.

Dr Reinhold H. Dauskardt is the Ruth G. and William K. Bowes Professor of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Surgery in the Stanford School of Medicine. He and his research group have worked extensively on integrating new hybrid materials into emerging device, nanoscience and energy technologies and also on the biomechanical function and barrier properties of human skin and other soft tissues. He is an internationally recognised expert on reliability and damage processes in device technologies and soft tissues, specifically the biomechanics of human skin and regeneration processes in cutaneous wounds. He has won numerous awards, including the Henry Maso Award from the Society of Cosmetic Chemists for
Bernhard Fink received his PhD in Anthropology in 2003 from the University of Vienna, Austria, for work investigating organisational androgenic effects on human facial/body morphology and behaviour. In 2005 he moved to the University of Göttingen, Germany, where he set up an independent research group to study social perception of human faces and bodies. One focus has been the study of visible skin condition in women and men, and how skin cues affect people’s perception of age, health and attractiveness. Since then he has developed a strong interest in the signalling qualities of human body movement, such as dance and gait. More recently he has been expanding his research protocols to cross-cultural research, including work on dance movements in Brazil, sprinting speed in Jamaica, and aggression in Russia. He has published more than 100 peer- reviewed papers in leading international journals and received highly prestigious funds from the German Science Foundation (DFG). He is co-editor of Evolutionary Psychology, associate editor of Personality and Individual Differences,
