July 7, 2025
On 2nd and 3rd July, THG LABS' Beauty R&D team was represented at the Society of Cosmetic Scientists (SCS) Breakthrough Science and Claims Testing Conference, held at the Royal College of Surgeons in London.
Bringing together scientists, brand leaders, formulators, and testing experts from across the cosmetics and personal care industry, the event offered a dynamic platform to explore the science behind product claims, with a particular focus on innovation, rigour, and responsibility in substantiation.
Senior Chemist, David King, representing THG LABS’ Beauty R&D division, joined the two day-long programme which spanned hot topics including AI’s role in future claims, neurocosmetics, skin imaging technologies, and the intersection between scientific breakthroughs and consumer perception.
The event also covered pioneering methods for evaluating product efficacy, the regulatory frameworks shaping the substantiation landscape, and the importance of responsible innovation in an increasingly transparent and data-led marketplace.
Commenting on the conference, David said: “It was a great opportunity to hear from so many distinguished professionals in the cosmetic industry. Their insights into the future of claim substantiation, breakthrough research and emerging test methodologies was both informative and thought provoking. “
We’d like to extend our thanks and congratulations to the SCS and all speakers involved for delivering another exceptional conference. As ever, the sessions were a valuable opportunity to reflect on progress and look ahead at what’s next in the science of beauty.
