About IFSCC Congress 2026
The 36th IFSCC Congress runs 28 September to 1 October 2026 at Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, WA, bringing global cosmetic scientists to Australia's beauty industry calendar.
IFSCC Congress 2026 – Cosmetic Science Comes To Perth
The 36th IFSCC Congress runs from 28 September to 1 October 2026 at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre in Western Australia. It is organised by the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists and hosted locally by the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists, marking Perth's selection as a global congress city for the international cosmetic science community.
Held under the theme of solving the sustainable beauty equation, the Congress brings cosmetic scientists, formulators and researchers from around the world to Australia for a multi-day programme of scientific content, marking a significant moment for the country's beauty industry calendar and its standing in global cosmetic science research and development.
What's On At The IFSCC Congress
The programme features keynote addresses, peer-reviewed scientific papers, workshops and technical sessions covering cosmetic formulation, ingredient technology and sustainability within the beauty industry. An exhibition runs alongside the scientific sessions, with cosmetic ingredient suppliers and technology companies showcasing innovations to delegates from across the globe over the four-day event, plus organised networking functions each evening.
Who Should Attend
The Congress is designed for cosmetic scientists, formulation chemists, researchers and technical professionals working in cosmetic and personal care product development, along with suppliers of ingredients and manufacturing technology. It suits those working on the science and formulation side of the beauty industry rather than salon-facing services, including academics, students and regulatory professionals.
About The Organiser
The IFSCC Congress is organised by the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, hosted for 2026 by the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists (ASCC). Registration, the scientific programme and exhibitor details are published at ifscc2026.com ahead of the September 2026 congress in Perth.
