“Water, Water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” Coleridge’s Epic Poem 'The Ancient Mariner' laments being surrounded by water "underneath a bloody sun", but unable to use it. With countries seemingly either in flood or drought, the use of water in personal care is becoming more important.
Our one-day seminar will look at all aspects of water use in cosmetics, from geopolitics to formulating and household use, to environmental fate. We’ll look at what the industry can do to use water better, whether in the formulation or in use, and finish off with a Roundtable discussion with the speakers.
With water on everyone’s agenda, this will be a key topic to learn more about from leading industry and academic speakers.
