Exploring Solutions Through Asymmetrical Thinking
Nov 26, 2014 | Rachel Grabenhofer
Cosmetics have inspired innovations in hair care, and this market is looking to more categories for new ideas. In relation, national security expert Jeffrey Baxter believes the ability to improvise in your thinking is essential to finding answers—a topic he will address during the C&T Summit in June 2015.
Exploring Parallels Between String Theory and Cosmetic Science
Nov 20, 2014 | Rachel Grabenhofer, Cosmetics & Toiletries
Professor Brian Greene, world-renown physicist and string theorist at Columbia University, admits there’s no concrete connection between string theory and cosmetic science, and that we shouldn’t try to make one. However, the following discussion aims to exercise readers’ minds in hopes of revealing parallels between the two.
Environmentally Benign Antimicrobials with Improved Efficacy
Oct 21, 2014
Lignin and cellulose-based nanoparticles are environmentally benign and can deliver higher efficiency, in terms of active agent employed. The application of these nanoparticles for preservation and a novel approach to fabricate them will be the focus of the presentation by Alexander Richter at the Cosmetics & Toiletries Summit in June 2015.
Translating Sensation to (and from) Personal Care
Oct 15, 2014
Converging multiple sensory experiences in one personal care product can differentiate it from others on the shelf. Translating sensations to (and from) personal care will therefore be addressed by sensory expert John Hayes, PhD, at the June 22 and 23, 2015, Cosmetics & Toiletries Summit in Philadelphia.
Nano 'Vaults' Hold Potential for Delivery

A recent report by The Scientist describes how nano-sized "vaults" are making their way into biomedicine, which calls to mind questions of their potential for personal care applications.
MIT Researchers Develop 'Feature Tuning' Algorithm
Apr 22, 2014
Researchers at MIT have developed an algorithm for the “feature tuning” of digital images, specifically faces, for improved memorability and other qualities. While the technology is implicated for effects in social media, it also suggests new considerations for digital imaging in cosmetic product development.
Microbe Interactions and Skin at C&T Summit
