The 19th edition of the International Symposium "Cosmetic Science: Shaping the Future" organized by the Société française de Cosmétologie (SFC) will be held on December 2-3, 2025, in Paris and online. A wide range of topics will be addressed:
- skin biology, applied to both skin and scalp,
- microbiota, key players in maintaining skin balance,
- the contributions of neuroscience and cognitive science,
- innovative thinking, stimulated by open innovation,
- high-potential new resources,
- and disruptive tools, particularly those based on artificial intelligence.
This scientific event brings together researchers, scientists, manufacturers, startups, service providers and students.
A dynamic, fast-paced program, entirely in English, will feature keynotes (30-minute plenary lectures by international experts), scientific sessions (15-minute presentations, selected by a scientific jury for their relevance, innovative character and contribution to cosmetology) and interactive discussions.
A space for inspiration, meetings and exchanges, this year's symposium will adopt a hybrid format to reach a wider audience. In person, participants can attend at the Pathé Alésia cinema, 73 avenue du Général Leclerc, Paris 14th arrondissement. Remotely, via dedicated online access.
Another new feature is a redesigned sponsorship system designed to boost the visibility of partners and offer industry players a greater opportunity to highlight their commitment to the scientific and cosmetics community.
