The Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its digital publication, The Journal of Cosmetic Science, with the release of Vol. 75, Issue No. 5, featuring articles addressing key topics in sustainability. The special edition is fully open-access, and will be followed by a special issue on microbiome as well as a second edition dedicated to sustainability.
“The SCC is proud to celebrate 75 years of the Journal of Cosmetic Science with these special open-access issues,” said Erica O’Grady, CAE, CEO of the Society.
“We invite researchers, industry professionals and consumers to explore these special issues as we encourage and embrace sustainability as a cornerstone of the industry’s future.”
Sustainability is a vast, multifaceted concept that extends beyond the expertise of any single individual. JCS technical editor, Robert Lochhead, has gathered insights from renowned industry leaders bringing diverse perspectives and expertise to each special issue.
Through a comprehensive compendium of articles, the SCC provides a deeper understanding of sustainability in cosmetics and personal care, creating a foundational text for industry-wide reference and inspiring action toward a responsible future.
The JCS special issues dedicated to Sustainability in Cosmetics and Personal Care explore sustainability through three interconnected concepts: personal sustainability, community sustainability, and environmental/global sustainability. Each concept presents unique challenges and opportunities to advance towards a better, healthier world for humans and their coexisting environments related to the cosmetics and personal care industry
