The Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) is a vibrant community of members actively working for finished goods houses, raw material suppliers, academic institutions, government, contract manufacturing, and consulting companies. Membership in the Society provides access to a network of industry and subject matter experts.

“ The SCC Career Development Day was an excellent opportunity for us to meet and interact with bright, new talent about to begin their cosmetic industry careers, and to see if any of these young individuals would be a good fit for our company. The format of the Career Day allowed us to spend quite a bit of time with each person, to find out more about them and their aspirations, resulting in a long list of prospective candidates to discuss with our team back in the office. I highly recommend this event and will be glad to participate again next year.” Benjamin Blinder; Gattefossé

“ The SCC has opened many doors for me in my future career as a cosmetic chemist. I have been able to connect with various professionals, attend scientific meetings and conferences, and learn more about the cosmetic science industry as a whole. Not to mention the outstanding SCC Career Development Day - where I was able to speak with representatives from the graduate programs and hear from companies in the industry that gave me insight and allowed me to judge if it was a good fit for me in the future. I would very much recommend it to any student interested in cosmetic science.” Najay Brown; Florida State University Class of 2020
