The idea behind the compact is to bring you some of the recent news highlights from the archives, as well as discussing major trends and events.
With a lot to catch up on as the year draws to a close we take a look at a patent awarded to an Ashland scientist, laser imaging to test nanoparticles, accusations of a Swiss fragrance cartel and some other news highlights.
We also take to the Cosmetics Design touch pad to have a look at our in-focus topic: advertising.
To get in touch why not use the feedback box on this page or contact us via Twitter. The addresses for both sites are @CosmeticsDsgEU and @CosmeticsDesign
