The French Society of Cosmetology (SFC) will dedicate the 20th edition of its International Symposium to skin interactions on December 8–9, 2026, in Paris and online.

On May 20 and 21, Cosm’Innov will bring together researchers, manufacturers and international experts in Orléans to discuss the scientific transformations shaping the beauty industry.

The 22nd Skin of Color Society (SOCS) symposium, held on 26 March 2026 in Denver, confirmed the central role of skin of colour dermatology in scientific and cosmetic advancements.

A recent study conducted by L'Oréal's Research & Innovation division in India highlights the detrimental effects of hard water on the stability of foaming cosmetics, underscoring the importance of taking this parameter into account in the formulation process.

A team at the Laboratoire Réactions et Génie des Procédés (LRGP, CNRS/University of Lorraine) has developed a numerical simulation model that can analyse the first microseconds of a droplet coalescing on the surface of a liquid with unrivalled spatial and temporal resolution.

Chemists and computer scientists from the CNRS, Paris-Saclay University and Paris Sciences & Lettres University have developed MS2Decide, an automated chemical prospecting tool based on machine learning.

Synthesising sugars without resorting to photosynthesis or enzymes is a challenge that has just been met by a team from the Paris Institute of Molecular Chemistry and the Coordination Chemistry Laboratory.

Drawing inspiration from DNA synthesis, chemists at the Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (CNRS / Strasbourg University) have developed a polymerisation method that enables precise control over the number and spatial orientation of constituent monomers.

The PEPR MED-OOC priority research programme, launched last July at the Maison Minatec in Grenoble, aims to develop organs and organoids on chips.

Scientists at the CNRS have developed a new family of metallacrowns. These biological imaging agents label living cells for visualisation without the need for UV excitation, a limitation that previously restricted their use due to the damaging effects of UVs on tissues.

The 11th edition marks a turning point with a theme dedicated to ʺscientific progress in the service of a sustainable cosmetics industry.ʺ

Cosmetic Valley, in partnership with Isipca and with the support of the Boucle Nord de Seine territory, is organizing the 7th edition of the Olfaction & Perspectives congress on March 19, 2026, in Bois-Colombes, also streamed online.

At the 2026 IMCAS World Congress in Paris, Chinese group Chando presented the results of a decade of fundamental research dedicated to cutaneous epigenetics, highlighting the molecular mechanism of action of 4-Butylresorcinol.

Researchers report in Nature Communications an advance that could influence regenerative cosmetics: a self-healing hydrogel combining oxygen nanobubbles with stem cell–derived exosomes.
