Creating Better Everyday Beauty and Personal Care Products: Consumer Insights, Science and Business
Co-organised by Singapore Polytechnic’s Consumer Chemicals Technology Centre (SP-CCTC) and BlackStorm Group
What does it take to create a beauty or personal care product that consumers want, trust and keep coming back to?
Join us for an afternoon connecting consumer insights, product science and business growth. Through an industry panel discussion and a learning journey at SP-CCTC, explore how product ideas take shape, how brands communicate their value, and what it takes to bring products to market.
Whether you are developing a new product, growing an existing brand or exploring opportunities in the sector, this session offers perspectives from across the product-to-market journey.
