2026-03-05 | 09:30 AM - 10:15 AM

Behind every perfect shade lies science. This session dives into the complex world of color formulation. From pigment chemistry and particle size to skin undertones and texture interactions. As consumers demand more precise, inclusive, and stable colour cosmetics, mastering the science of color has become a core skill for product developers. Experts will explore how innovation in mineral and synthetic pigments, coated technologies, and dispersion systems are transforming formulation performance and sensory payoff. The discussion will also address how color is digitally defined and visualised across diverse skin tones, the challenge of maintaining shade fidelity from lab to production, and how AI and imaging tools are reshaping colour matching in real time. By bridging chemistry, perception and technology, this session reveals what it truly takes to create colour that performs flawlessly and resonates universally.
