International Federation of the Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) A worldwide federation dedicated to international cooperation in cosmetic science and technology.

The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists is a worldwide federation dedicated to international cooperation in cosmetic science and technology.

Interest in the formation of such an organization crystallized in Paris in 1956 and culminated in the birth of the federation in Brussels, Belgium on September 8, 1959. At that time there were only 8 countries entering the Federation.

Today, 50 Societies representing 80 countries have met the high standards of scientific and educational qualifications of the IFSCC and, as members, support the organization’s aims and programs. The number of individual members in the Federation now exceeds 16,000 and we are still growing.

All members of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) are automatically members of the IFSCC. Here’s why it’s great having dual membership with SCC and IFSCC automatically, learn more.

The IFSCC offers international scientific events each fall: a Congress in even years, a Conference in odd years. As a member of the SCC, you receive discounted registration to these event. Discover the next IFSCC event.
