History

The initiative to establish the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) was proposed in Paris in 1956. [8] [9] On April 15, 1959, the first council meeting to form the IFSCC was held in London, during which representatives from eight countries attended, including Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden and the United States (the Society of Cosmetic Chemists). [3]

On September 8, 1959, IFSCC was founded in Brussels, Belgium. [7] [8] [9] The first IFSCC president was Maison G. de Navarre from the United States. [7] In 1960, the first IFSCC Congress was held in Munich, Germany with 350 delegates attending from 16 countries. [8]

IFSCC had its headquarters in London, England for over three decades, and in 2015 the organization moved its headquarters to New York, USA. [4] [5] As of 2023, IFSCC consists of 51 societies representing 81 countries, and the number of individual members in the Federation exceeds 16,000. [1]

Mission

The role of IFSCC includes promoting international standards, funding researches, coordinating international congresses and meetings, issuing scientific publications, and sponsoring awards of cosmetic sciences. [1] [3] Since 1998, IFSCC publishes the journal IFSCC Magazine. [10] [11] [12] The Federation also offers the database KOSMET, a comprehensive online database specializing in Cosmetic Science and Industry information. [13] [14] [15]

IFSCC events

Before 2023, IFSCC organized an international scientific event each autumn: a Congress in even years, a Conference in odd years. [16] [17] [18] Starting in 2023, only the IFSCC Congress is offered annually. [16] [17]

IFSCC awards

All eligible papers for the IFSCC Awards are judged by a committee of qualified and experienced cosmetic scientists, according to criteria "Novelty and originality of the experimental approach", "The impact of the experimental findings for the cosmetic industry at large", and "The extent to which the results provide an answer to as yet unresolved scientific matters". [18] Presentation of the results is also being judged. [18]

The following awards are given at an IFSCC Congress in even years: [19]
