SWSCC Formula Competition: A Call for Innovation

The SWSCC Formula Competition is an exciting opportunity to challenge students, researchers, and industry professionals to develop innovative and scientifically advanced cosmetic formulations. This competition allows participants to showcase their creativity and technical expertise by creating products that push the boundaries of cosmetic science.

Formulas must utilize commercially available ingredients to be considered.

Participants can submit formulas in the following categories:

  • Skincare
  • Haircare
  • Color Cosmetics

Entries will be judged on the following criteria:

  • Innovation: How is this formula unique and original?
  • Scientific Merit: Does it have data to back up your claims?
  • Creativity: What’s cool about this product?
  • Functionality and Aesthetics: It’s got a cool story, but is it enjoyable to use?
