Speaker: Chris Kilham. The chemical model appears to have failed the cosmetic world, and now natural actives are taking center stage. The race for new botanical ingredients proceeds at a fast pace, and the Amazon rainforest is a key area for exploration of these agents. On this Amazonian journey we will explore highly beneficial Amazonian cosmetic actives, including cats claw, dragons blood, aguaje, ungurahui and more. Meet the people, see the place, learn the plants.
