Embracing Beauty – Suppliers’ Day 2021 Susanna Fernandes, 2021 NYSCC Chair
elcome back to New York! After almost two years, I am so excited to see and welcome NYSCC members, fellow chemists, product development teams, and suppliers to the main event for innovations in ingredients and formulations. The 42nd Annual NYSCC Suppliers’ Day will take place in-person on November 10th-11th at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. The Suppliers’ Day team has been working hard and pushing forward to produce a safe event chock-full of innovation, education, business-building, and fun. The show’s theme is “Embracing Beauty,” celebrating all that we create including the latest ingredients and formulations impacting product development, the roles and influence of our members, and the growth and success of cosmetic science. Suppliers’ Day will also focus on overcoming challenges and formulating for inclusivity and diversity, while inspiring unique and novel beauty and personal care products. Please look inside this special Cosmetiscope issue for information on all the educational programs being offered, supported by our association and media partners, including new content focused on Indie 360°, Back to Powerful Beauty, Conscious Inclusion, and Clean and Natural Beauty Panel. The show also offers its core programs with relevant and important content added including Fragrance: The Invisible Art, Discover Sustainability, Digital Age of Beauty, World of Chemistry, IBA Regulatory and Compliance Update, and the SCC pre-event CEP Courses. The show floor Presentation Theater also returns with two days of innovations from the exhibit floor and is open to all attendees. The NYSCC continues its nurturing of the next generation of chemists with the expansion of our Future Chemists Workshop, Mentorship Breakfast Mixer and Information Session, University Row, and the SCC and NYSCC Co-sponsored Career Fair. After the first day of the show, spend your night at our Education and Awards Night ceremony at HK Hall. The winner of the CEW Supplier’s Beauty Creators Award will be announced and scholarships will be presented along with dinner and Broadway style entertainment. With curated educational programs, hundreds of exhibitors, networking opportunities (including a member/guest breakfast), and enhanced experiential learning (including the new Indie Brand Pavilion), there is something for everyone at Suppliers’ Day. All registered attendees for NYSCC Suppliers’ Day will automatically be registered for our virtual day, which kicks off on November 12th and features more suppliers that were not able to attend the New York event along with the unique learning programs. We hope you have a positive and energized experience and enjoy all that “Embracing Beauty” has to offer! On behalf of the NYSCC Board and Executive Committee we sincerely thank you for your constant support and understanding as we navigated the twists and turns of this pandemic and look forward to welcoming you safely back to the beauty capital, New York City!
