On October 19, 2026, the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) announced the election of its 2027 executive officers and area directors. These individuals form the governing body focused on the mission, strategy and goals of the SCC.
“I’m extremely honored to serve again as SCC president in 2027,” said Perry Romanowski of Element 44, Inc. “I look forward to working with the board to help members learn, connect with others in the industry and get more involved in the society. We also want to bring more people into the SCC and make sure it continues to be a useful resource for cosmetic scientists for years to come.”
