2011 Awards
During the meeting, the 2011 Maison de Navarre Medal Award will be presented to Dr. Howard Maibach. Dr. Maibach is being recognized for his significant contribution through his extensive cosmetic safety research. He has also been a major factor in the study of percutaneous absorption and moisturization. He will be presented with the honor at Thursday’s luncheon.
The 2011 SCC Merit Award will be presented to Dr. Kenneth Marenus at the Friday luncheon.
Social Events
The Suppliers Cocktail Reception will be held Thursday evening from 5-7:00 p.m., immediately following the close of the Technology Showcase.
In addition, emeritus members of the SCC are invited to a meet and greet reception on Thursday from 4-5:00 p.m.
Education Courses
The SCC has also scheduled two continuing education courses for Dec. 7.
Ethnic Product/Relaxer Formulation: New Technological Approach will cover many topics, including relaxer definition, relaxers then and now, chemistry of actives in relaxers, keratin straightening products, emulsion design approach for relaxers, conditioning agents for relaxers, pre- and post-treatment products, the myths about neutralizing shampoo, lye versus no lye relaxers, high selling ethnic products, future trend in ethnic products and formulation ofethnic products to minimize hair damage.
The second course, Innovation in Personal Care Products,will cover what is innovation and why it is important, the importance of R&D/marketing interaction, innovation milestones in the personal care industry and tools to enhance innovation.
