    The Chemistry of Cosmetics

    Seven Arts, Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, Leeds LS7 3PD
    Dr Meryem Benohoud (Lead Product Development Scientist, Keracol)

    Can the proliferation of products made by the cosmetics industry be manufactured responsibly, without relying on chemicals derived from fossil fuels or crops grown on prime arable land?  What materials are needed for our cleanliness and beauty?  If a product claims it is "natural", what does that mean?

    Dr Meryem Benohoud will discuss the science behind cosmetics products, and the use of genuinely natural and environmentally sustainable ingredients.
