The Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee this year. Founded in 1945, the SCC is the oldest and largest membership organization focused exclusively on cosmetic science education.
Holds One of the Biggest Footprints in Industry
In 2019, the SCC acquired a record 5,700+ members globally – with some of those memberships spanning as many as five decades – which speaks directly to the value of SCC membership.
“
After 75 years, the Society boasts one of the biggest footprints in the cosmetics and personal care industry,” said Erica O’Grady, CAE, executive director/CEO of the Society.
The last 75 years have featured 73 annual scientific meetings, two US-hosted international congresses with the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC), two co-hosted intercontinental conferences with the Italian SCC, multiple industry partnership collaborations and hundreds of education events presented domestically.
“
With our international, national and local events, we are proud to represent the industry and the greater scientific community as a well-respected organization that has never strayed from its mission: to advance cosmetic science,” continued O’Grady.
“
When you reflect back on our history it is evident that education, innovation and collaboration are very important to the SCC,” said Mindy Goldstein, the 74
th SCC president and owner of Mindy S. Goldstein, PhD Consulting.
To commemorate the occasion, a new 75
th Anniversary logo was unveiled at the SCC’s 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting & Technology Showcase on 18 December in New York City.
