the initiative of scientific workers group busy at cosmetic chemistry
and persons directly connected with production and distribution of

The main purpose of PSCC activity is propagation of knowledge and
supporting of the scientific research in the scope of cosmetic
chemistry and related sciences. The particular stress is laid on
education of the young and improvement in professional qualification of
cosmetic industry workers. These objects have been secured by
