MEDAL LECTURE
Love Actually
(A Torrid, Long-Term Affair With Moisturisers)
Dr Paul Matts (Procter & Gamble)
Synopsis
The speaker will bare all about his long-running intimacy with moisturisers. He will serenade this most humble of technologies without shame, recalling their ancient origins, revelling in their serial re-invention and pondering their bright future. He will examine in wonder the recent exponential surge in understanding of the biochemistry and physiology of the target substrate, its measurement and its manipulation by Corneotherapy. And, finally, he will consider with humility the eminent utility of mere moisturisers in saving individuals, families and communities in those 3 billion deprived of even the most basic skin care in the developing world.

Stephen Kirk - Cosmetovigilance
Synopsis
Post marketing surveillance is set to play an increasingly important role in the life cycle of cosmetic products developed, manufactured and marketed in Europe, particularly with the prominence given to it in the new EU cosmetic Regulation, EC 1223 / 2009. Cosmetics-vigilance, which is one method of undertaking post marketing surveillance, can be defined as the processes for the collection, collation and analysis of adverse events attributable to cosmetic products.
This presentation will outline the practical aspects of the regulatory requirements for cosmetics vigilance that European cosmetic manufacturers will have to follow under the new cosmetic Regulation, illustrated by examples from the one leading UK cosmetic product manufacturer.
