The congress draws scientists from 78 countries and is treated as cosmetics' closest thing to a Nobel. Chen Yao presented a thermostable lamellar liquid-crystal system built from bio-derived fermented lipids. Actives sit in a highly ordered liquid-crystal phase compatible with the lipids of the stratum corneum. Cosmax reports deeper, more efficient penetration than conventional cream bases, with better tolerance because the system protects the barrier rather than disrupting it. Liu Fan presented in the sunscreen track: D-phase emulsification with natural-origin emulsifiers. UV filters are pre-ordered in a D-phase gel network and the system self-emulsifies on contact with water without high-pressure homogenisation, yielding 0.25-micron droplets — roughly ten times smaller and a thousand times more numerous than conventional emulsions, which s
