On June 7, watch the Les Tech du Beauty Fab webinar on the theme of microfluidics in the cosmetics sector.

#Microfluidics, this fascinating science which studies the behavior of fluids at the microscopic scale, is finding more and more applications in the cosmetics industry; it offers revolutionary potential by allowing the creation of highly personalized and effective products.

By combining their expertise in microfluidics and process chemistry, KLEARIA is at the forefront of innovation in the cosmetics field, offering tailor-made and highly effective solutions to meet the specific needs of each company. Their approach based on the microfluidic process makes it possible to overcome the limitations encountered in traditional batch manufacturing methods. By precisely manipulating very small volumes of fluids through microscopic channels, Klearia can create cosmetic formulas that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve.

On the agenda for this hour of webinar:

• A first part on “What is microfluidics?” and what are the works of KLEARIA,
• A second part on microfluidics for the benefit of cosmetics
• Finally, how to use this science to innovate, particularly in the manufacturing of skincare products and perfumes.
