The effectiveness of modern skincare and cosmetic products largely depends on the selection, combination, and performance of active ingredients and functional compounds. This session will explore scientific advances in cosmetic ingredients and their applications in improving skin health, appearance, protection, and overall skin function.
Discussions will cover peptides, antioxidants, vitamins, botanical extracts, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, retinoids, growth factors, exfoliating agents, brightening compounds, probiotics, postbiotics, and other emerging cosmetic actives. Researchers will examine their mechanisms of action, formulation compatibility, stability, safety, efficacy, and potential applications in anti-aging, hydration, pigmentation, acne management, and skin barrier protection.
The session will provide a platform for cosmetic scientists, dermatologists, chemists, pharmaceutical researchers, ingredient manufacturers, and skincare professionals to exchange research findings and explore innovative ingredient technologies. Participants will gain insights into emerging functional compounds and their potential to support the development of scientifically validated and next-generation skincare and cosmetic solutions.
