This prize is awarded during a Conference year to enable a young cosmetic scientist to attend an IFSCC Conference. The 2021 prize will be an invitation to attend the 2022 IFSCC Congress in London, England, with the cost of travel, accommodation and registration fees up to, but not exceeding, 5000 Swiss Francs, being reimbursed by the IFSCC. Any member of a member society of the IFSCC, no more than 35 years of age when they submit their essay, may apply.

Applicants should submit an essay of between 500 and 3,000 words on one of five topics chosen below. The winner is determined by Committee, which receives blinded copies of all submitted essays.

Essay topics for the 2021 prize are:

  • Are natural cosmetics really natural?
  • Sunscreens and their impact on oceans:  fact or fiction?
  • How will the EU “free from claim” impact our industry worldwide?
  • Did the “lipstick effect” pop up during the 2020 coronavirus situation?
