Are you involved in the personal care or home care industry as a raw material supplier, contract manufacturer, brand owner, packaging supplier, marketing guru or industry legal eagle? The ASCC Conference is an excellent opportunity to highlight new and exciting technologies and update attendees about latest market trends and cutting-edge science.
Located in the heart of the Gold Coast our conference venue will be The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre Broadbeach, Australia 6th – 8th September 2021.
The Organising Committee is focusing on the theme, “Riding the roller coaster of A-Beauty innovation”. Our theme has three main pillars: “A-Beauty”, a play on the term K-Beauty, A-Beauty, or Australian beauty, is the minimal skincare movement based around combination routines, simplified formulations and innovative Australian native ingredients and products made in Australia. “Riding the roller coaster” will take us through the emotions of using a cosmetic, with a focus on neuro-cosmetics and how product makes the consumer feel. Finally, "Innovations” we will showcase the best cutting-edge science the cosmetics and home care sector has to offer.
The 53rd Annual ASCC Conference is looking to capture the interests of all our industry's greats, whilst enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the Gold Coast.

Mr. Lazzaro has been a key contributor to the success of the organisation and the iconic ""Australian Made"" and ""Australian Grown"" logos.
Our second plenary speaker is Dr Patrice BELLON President at COSMETOSCENT
Immediate Past-President of the French Society of Cosmetology (SFC)
We regularly hear and read about looking after ourselves by using products we enjoy. This raises the question - "How does a cosmetic product cause an emotion?”
Emotion is a reaction of our body, it has physiological, cognitive and behavioural components. When an emotion occurs, our body remembers through all kinds of reactions. To let your emotions speak is to let your body speak.
Introducing our third plenary speaker for the Mintel’s expert analyst, Sharon Kwek, Associate Director, Beauty and Persona Care.
Two keywords have gripped the beauty industry increasingly in recent years – 'interaction' and 'community'. Both are shallow proxies to describe connecting to consumers across various touchpoints and through products.
But the world has moved on towards a post pandemic future - and connection reigns. Today, the sensorial and emotional serve as bridges to the consumer. Where the human touch has become a luxury, brands are using their products more effectively as tools to play with the consumer - through ingredients, colours, fragrances and more.
Call for Goodie Bag Items
The Conference Organising Committee are calling out to all interested organisations to supply "goodie" items for incorporation in the official conference satchel. Examples of ideal "goodie" items are small promotional items (pens, post-its and mousepads have been supplied in the past, get creative) and finished product samples.
As a guide...
- we are estimating a total number of conference satchels of 350 pieces
- please keep product samples below 150ml each
- no leaflets or brochures please
To confirm your interest in contributing "goodie" items and for further information, please email ascc@ascc.com.au

Looking for THE place to be for the latest in cosmetic ingredient and product innovations in the personal care industry? Want to build connections with cosmetic raw material suppliers, manufacturers, agents and experts? The ASCC Conference is THE place to be.
In 2022, our 54th Annual Conference will be held in Adelaide, 10-12th May.
The 2022 conference is all about celebrating women in personal care: their contributions as chemists and creators, innovators and suppliers, and most of all, the driving force behind inspirational beauty trends that propel our very exciting industry forward – both from within the industry and as consumers.
Women have always been the largest users of personal care and cosmetics; and over recent years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in women joining R&D teams, founding and running cosmetic companies, and taking the lead on growing diversity and performance in product creation. The women that are demanding more from their personal care as consumers are increasingly becoming the voice of scientific creation… we’re shattering that glass ceiling!
We’ll also be celebrating the changing face of beauty: what is beautiful? Together we will redefine beauty, a definition that is built on diversity, equity and inclusion. It knows no bounds and allows us to explore new and exciting products for all.
With a host of educational opportunities, networking events, more supplier booths than ever before, poster and innovation zones, come be inspired and find out the latest industry launches and developments.
Join us as we shatter that glass ceiling, celebrate women in our industry and redefine beauty for all!
Be a part of our educational program and show your innovation!
Calling all papers, presenters and posters. We’d love you to be involved.
More information on our Keynote and Plenary speakers, exhibition and conference program and Premium sponsors will be coming soon.
