Baby 'biome' webinar a great success

A record number of 150 attendees from all over the world signed up for our webinar on Baby Skin and the Microbiome on March 29, held jointly with NBIC. View recordings via CCUK YouTube Channel.

Our fourth joint webinar with National Biofilms Innovation Centre took place in March 2022 and brought together academic and industry expertise to focus on personal care innovation in the area of infant and baby care with a focus on skin microbiome.

The webinar took a broader approach to encompass all possible R&D developments in gentle formulations and mildness testing, sustainable ingredient trends and baby skin/microbiome biology, and also covered innovation, regulatory aspects and brand/consumer attitudes.
