Situated on the banks of the Swan River and overlooking the Indian Ocean, Perth combines natural beauty with a thriving cultural scene. With its welcoming atmosphere, vibrant lifestyle, Perth offers an unparalleled backdrop for scientific exchange and networking. Due to its vast landscape, Western Australia is home to a fast-growing cosmetic science sector that harnesses the remarkable properties of it's unique native botanicals — from the first commercialism of antioxidant-rich Kakadu plum to the early adoption and integration of traditional custodianship for sandalwood oil production.

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.
