Submission Requirement

Students are invited to submit a 3-minute video (maximum 4 min) that provides an overview of a recent project, highlighting key objectives, process, and outcomes.

What to include:

1. Photos and Videos of the Product.

- As a society of cosmetic chemists, we want to see the formulation of your product, not just the packaging. The formulation should be clearly visible to demonstrate its viability and development.

2. Brief Project Overview:

- Provide an overview of your project, including your brief, highlighting key objectives, process, and outcomes.

3. Formulation Submission:

- Please provide an ingredients list or formulation so that we can evaluate your formulation’s viability. Additionally, evidence of stability or scale-up efforts may be submitted as proof that the formulation can be developed on a larger scale and commercial viability.

4. Commercial Viability:

- Present a brief overview of the target market for your product. Describe where and how you intend to sell it (e.g., retail, online, etc.), and explain why the product would succeed in that market.

5. Future Vision for the Cosmetics Industry in New Zealand:

- Discuss your aspirations for the future of the cosmetics industry in New Zealand, addressing potential trends, innovations, or shifts you’d like to see take place.
