Consumers are increasingly aware of the ingredients in the products they use. This awareness is accompanied by a growing mistrust of potentially harmful chemicals present in many conventional cosmetics. Parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and other synthetic preservatives are now under close scrutiny. Studies have revealed that these components can have adverse effects on the skin, cause allergies, and even act as endocrine disruptors.

The challenge with non-toxic products is sometimes their stability and performance. We are now witnessing the emergence of high-performance cosmetics (also known as cosmeceuticals) that are also turning towards non-toxic formulations. By choosing these products, consumers contribute not only to their own health but also to the preservation of our planet.

Come and learn about a rapidly expanding movement, driven by collective awareness and a growing desire to live in harmony with nature while achieving effective results. Non-toxic cosmeceuticals are no longer just a trend but a new norm, promising a healthier and more radiant future for all.

Epigenetics, a fascinating branch of biology, studies the modifications in gene expression that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence. These modifications can be influenced by various environmental factors, such as diet, stress, and chemical exposures.

Recently, the epigenetic analysis of hair has emerged as an innovative tool to understand not only hair health but also to provide valuable insights into skin condition.

In this conference, you will learn how this type of analysis can enable personalized services in aesthetic clinics while respecting the professional boundaries of our field.

Inspired by the runways of New York, Milan, and Paris Fashion Week, let’s re-create the trendiest fall and winter makeup looks.

This season, red lips are in the spotlight, ranging from classic reds at Michael Kors to overlined lips with a brighter or darker shade as seen at Mugler. Pair the bold lip look with either pearly, powdery skin or clean, dewy skin.

It’s suitable for any occasion. Eyes also took center stage, with Chanel showcasing bright, bold hues in shades of pink, gold, coral, or blue livened up the inner corners or top lash line and finally from a fluffy undone brow at Richards Quinn’s to barely-there brows at Marni’s, there’s a look to suit everyone.

We are still very much in a coquette era. So, whether you choose to wear a bow or not, let’s embrace this makeup look. Think flushed cheeks, feathery doll-like lashes, and shiny, bitten pink lips.

Consider adding a subtle cat-eye or intensifying the look with semi-soft smoky eyes to infuse your day with a touch of romance.
