Personal Care 2026.  LONGEVITY - Looking Good for Longer.

26th March 2026, Burlington House, London.

New formulations are looking to reduce or reverse the effects of ageing, either by stopping or reversing the processes which can damage the skin or hair.

This meeting will look at stopping pollution and the environment from effecting the appearance and structure of both skin and hair.
It will also be highlighting actives which claim to improve the texture and appearance in the skin care products.

We will also discuss the market drivers in this sector and possible future developments.
The day promises to be interesting to producers, suppliers and formulators in the personal care industry.
