Exploring Preservation Science at SCS Technical Event
February 15, 2026
Addressing the Complexity of Modern Preservation Strategies
Members of the THG LABS R&D team recently attended the Society of Cosmetic Scientists (SCS) seminar event “Preserving Cosmetics & Your Sanity”, held at Leigh Court in Bristol.
Navigating Regulatory Change and Green Preservation Challenges
The session brought together industry experts, including Dr. Barbara Olioso and Francesca Rapolla to explore the evolving challenges of preservation, from regulatory developments through to the practical realities of formulating within increasingly constrained ingredient landscapes.
Balancing Safety, Sustainability and Performance in Formulation
A key focus was the balance between safety, sustainability and performance, particularly in the context of “green” preservation strategies.
Huge thanks to SCS for organising the event and helping to ensure our teams remain closely connected to the latest thinking, supporting robust and responsible formulation approaches.
