The fourth U’Cosmetics will be held in Guingamp (Brittany, France) on 21 March 2013. Both a Convention and a contest for students about Cosmetic Formulation and Innovation, this year, this event’s theme is eco-design: a trendy approach to design and formulate a cosmetic product by other means.

In the agenda of conferences:
