Why SunShield?

Most scientific conferences are broken.

Regulatory Leaders are expected to block over two full days, sit through hour-long lectures with repeat speakers and rarely leave with new insight they can actually use.

We wanted to change this. 

So, we created SunShield.

 90 minutes, start to finish.        Three parallel tracks.         No talk longer than 20 minutes.

THE FORMAT

Think TED-Style Talks - For Cosmetics Professionals.

One important question. One expert. One evidence-led argument. 20 minutes, maximum. No lengthy introductions, no company presentations, no 40-slide lectures.

Lightning Talks

Three Tracks, Nine tightly produced, pre-recorded talks across three tracks. Just the science that matters - nothing you could not apply or argue with.

Live Bookends

A live opening keynote sets the big question; a live leadership panel closes with the big decisions. The community comes together in real time.

Shaped by Scientific Committee

An independent Scientific Committee shapes the program focused on the questions the industry needs, not the subjects companies want to promote.

The Scientific Committee

Scientific direction, shaped by experts.

SunShield’s program is guided by a Scientific Committee bringing together expertise from brands, academia, laboratories, ingredient science, testing, safety and regulatory science. The Committee helps identify the questions that matter most, challenge the program framework and ensure every session delivers credible, evidence-led and relevant scientific value.

All program content is subject to scientific and editorial review.

The Result: 90 mins focused on the science worth paying attention to in 2027.

Ready for 90 minutes of

substance?

No fluff. Just the science that matters.

Start 2027 Ready.
