Everyone is talking about AI, but what does it actually mean for cosmetic formulators?
Join us for a highly interactive, hands-on workshop where you’ll explore how AI can be used practically and responsibly in cosmetic formulation and R&D.
You’ll hear directly from industry professionals who are already using AI in their day-to-day work, including Michael Luke (CEO, Formulytica) and leaders from emerging AI platforms. They will share real workflows, what’s working, what isn’t, and where professional judgment and guardrails still matter.
You will then unlock the tools yourself.
Through live demos and guided small-group activities, you will work hands-on with ChatGPT, Perplexity, and NotebookLM to tackle realistic formulation, research, and documentation scenarios. The focus is on learning to question, validate, and make sense of AI outputs, not to take them at face value.
No prior experience with AI is required.
No one is an expert in this space yet, we are all still figuring it out. Whether you have never opened ChatGPT or you already use AI regularly, there will be something for you.
You will leave with practical prompt templates, a clearer understanding of what AI is genuinely useful for (and what it isn’t), and the confidence to start exploring these tools thoughtfully in your own professional practice.
