IFSCC 2026 CONGRESS

28 September – 1 October 2026

The ASCC are honoured to be hosting the prestigious IFSCC Congress in 2026 bringing together some of the brightest minds in cosmetic science from across the globe.

For the first time in 30 years an IFSCC Congress will be held in Australia and as such will be in place of our Annual ASCC Conference in 2026. 

The IFSCC Congress 2026 will feature an exceptional lineup of speakers, presentations, and workshops that will inspire fresh thinking and advance our industry. From the latest breakthroughs in cosmetic technology to meaningful discussions about sustainability and innovation, this congress offers a unique platform for professional growth, networking, and inspiration.

In 2026 we are inviting you to solve the Sustainable Beauty Equation, a metaphorical concept representing the balance between environmental responsibility, consumer demand and product innovation. Let’s get together to discover, discuss and get inspired on how cosmetic scientists and innovators shape their discoveries to integrate sustainability into every aspect of their work while maintaining product effectiveness and appeal.
