Huge congratulations @cpl_aromas ✨ well deserved for their commitment to sustainable innovation. AromaHydro is a water based fragrance development concept that removes the challenges alcohol based fragrances usually encounter whilst keeping odour/scent and performance profiles similar to the alcohol based counterparts.@cosmeticsbusiness by @thecpocircle

The best advice comes from the professional whose expertise matches the question you’re asking, which is what this decision tree aims to illustrate.When looking for answers, it’s worth considering who is best qualified to answer that specific question.🧴 Cosmetic Scientists = Formulation, ingredients used, product efficacy and how the products work.⚕️ Dermatologists (Doctors with a specialty in skin) = Treatment for skin challenges, getting a diagnosis or a medical treatment plan.🩵 Aestheticians = Cosmetic Skin treatments, Skincare routines and non medical skin concerns.🖤 Safety Assessors, Toxicologists & Regulators = Ingredient safety, cosmetic regulations and product compliance Most experts keep things simple as this works best on social media but The next time someone says, “This works for …so you should buy”, ask yourself:Is this an opinion, a personal experience, or professional expertise?*NB decision tree is recreated version of @theecowell image, something the @labmuffinbeautyscience shared some time ago Recommended professionals: @thectpa @tayloredconsultancy @thecosmeticregulator @britishdermatology @dermgp @doctortego @brownskinderm @dermatologist_adel @moskinlab @drjuliansass @ava.perki @drsharonwong @coscreation_formulation_lab @inci_with_rinki @drwassimtaktouk @drnaanaboakye @sula.labs @cindyjlabs @sciencemeetscosmetics @bak2thelab by @thecpocircle

The distinction is clear; We don’t diagnose, We develop! With so many ‘Experts’ online it’s really important for us to make that distinction! Not the dermatologist, trichologist, or a doctor. But the person they trust to turn their expertise into products people can actually buy. 🧪✨ by @thecpocircle

Is this the same as saying Dermo-Cosmetics? Or Cosmeceutical? …. Not quite! Quasi drug is a legal classification mostly used in Japan and South Korea. These products sit right between cosmetics and actual medicines (pharmaceuticals). While these terms bridge the gap between standard skincare and pharmaceuticals, they differ significantly in their legal definitions, regulatory requirements, and how the terms are used globally. Quasi Drug isn’t just a marketing concept. by @thecpocircle

K-Beauty’s undeniable influence in beauty, started in the heart and Seoul of Asia!!! Thank you @incosmeticskorea for a great experience; it was so inspiring to see the latest developments in raw materials and how much cultural context impacts what trends are fed in different regions across the world. It’s so clear to see where the global market is heading, for the next few years …. 🌍📸 @redyongmedia by @thecpocircle

Cellulite, Photochemical stablization, prebiotics for feminine hygiene, integrating actives in clay, smarter delivery systems ~ there’s no personal care category going untouched. Love the sound of Intensilk as it mirrors the GLP1 concerns that are actively growing ~ can’t dismiss that pharmaceuticals are experiencing extreme growth with the use of GLP1 and that’s definitely going to trickle into body and skincare. by @thecpocircle
