THE 1ST SCIENTIFIC EVENT DEDICATED TO COSMETIC TESTING & MEASUREMENT

COMET 2015 is organized by the Cosmetic Valley, the Agglomeration of Cergy-Pontoise, the County Council of Val d’Oise, School of Industrial Biology, Cergy-Pontoise University and manufacturers in the industry.

Many non-invasive methods are now used to characterize the cosmetic products properties and their interactions with skin and hair. physico-chemical studies, biological and clinical effects measurements, the development of new instrumental techniques … are crucial for the cosmetic sector.

COMET (cosmetic measurement & testing) is the 1st scientific congress dedicated to cosmetics testing & measurement.

COMET is the place where academic researchers, the major firms, smes and start-ups share knowledge and participate in scientific discussion.

Challenges & ambitions

– to assemble all the industry leaders in the cosmetics sector (R&D, regulatory, marketing, communications…), academic researchers working on research topics linked to «testing & measurement» of cosmetic products,
– to create links between academic research and the world of industry,
– to bring scientific themes and cosmetology closer together,
– to facilitate prospects development for cosmetics sector players.
