Many at the show also commented they are waiting for the US Food and Drug Administration to publish the next sun care monograph. According to Mark Miller of BASF, "[The industry] needs a broader palette of sun protection in the United States." Laura Partynski, also of BASF, agreed noting, "The materials are there, we are just waiting for a 'go.' "

These launches, among the numerous others presented, give a sense of the key challenges faced by formulators everyday in the lab and the solutions being developed to face those challenges. Stay tuned as we follow up with highlights from day two of the show.

After a long day, attendees retreated to several social activities, among which was the annual Cosmetics & Toiletries Supplier Cocktail reception, hosted at the Hilton Garden Inn. Guests relaxed and kicked up their feet, mingling with the magazine's staff members. During the evening, associate editor Katie Schaefer and national sales manager Tom Harris presented a check donation to the NY SCC education fund on behalf of Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine and Allured Business Media.
