On behalf of the organizing committee,it is my great honor and pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the 18th Asian Societies of Cosmetic Scientists (ASCS),held in Guangzhou,China,from June 2027.

Guangzhou is not just a vibrant metropolitan city in Southern China—it is the heart of China's cosmetics industry. There's a famous saying that goes: “To see the future of Chinese beauty,look to Guangdong; to see the future of Guangdong's beauty,look to Guangzhou”. It is here where innovation,manufacturing,and scientific research converge,making it the perfect backdrop for a gathering that aims to push the boundaries of beauty science .

The conference coincides with the time of the Dragon Boat Festival,a cherished Chinese traditional festival. We invite you to immerse yourself in the rich cultural atmosphere. It is our hope that this cultural backdrop will enrich your conference experience and inspire deeper connections.

Our theme,“Beauty Science Has No Boundaries,” reflects our belief that the progress in beauty science thrives on openness,diversity,and collaboration. This is a grand event for the cosmetics industry around the world.Through advanced research-findings presentations,keynote speakings,poster presentations,and networking events,inspire and connect brilliant minds,gain insights into future trends,and collectively shape the future of cosmetics.

Looking forward to being with you for this extraordinary journey. Let's explore,share,and co - create the future of cosmetic science—together.
