Discover the future of formulation with Surfachem at SCS Formulate 2026 

Innovation in personal care rarely comes from an ingredient alone. It comes from understanding emerging consumer expectations, identifying the right technologies and translating them into formulations that deliver meaningful performance. 

At SCS Formulate 2026, Surfachem will bring together ingredient innovation, market insight and practical formulation expertise to help visitors explore what could be next for your product development. 

Taking place on 10th - 11th November 2026 at Coventry Building Society Arena, SCS Formulate brings together the UK personal care and cosmetics community to discover new technologies, exchange technical knowledge and explore future formulation trends.
