Sensory Workshops
NEW this year!
The Workshops are a series of hands-on arrangements that allow companies to showcase their products that offer a sensory experience.
Through these workshops, you can actively engage and gain insights into various applications of products, whether that be a scent for hair care, flavour for lip care, or a different texture for a cleanser.
The Workshops will enable you to develop formulations and address any obstacles you encounter.
The workshops are FREE TO ATTEND for all attendees!
