Due to the health crisis, Cosmétagora, the trade show dedicated to formulation, has been transformed into a digital version this year. The top ingredient suppliers were present to meet virtually with visitors and present their active ingredients and innovations. Once again, it was an opportunity to get inspired.
For more than ten years, the SFC (French Society of Cosmetology) has organized the Formulation Award in conjunction with the show. As usual, each edition of the competition revolves around a theme. For this new edition, the SFC wanted to put the “silver” generation in the spotlight.
All participants proposed a product that would address the contemporary issues of people over 70. The goal was to formulate a care product that “enhances the marks of time instead of trying to hide them”.
At the end of the jury’s deliberation, four prizes were awarded. Here is the podium as well as the concepts’ arguments (written by the participants).
