SiCC is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the well-being of all stakeholders in the supply chain through the dissemination and development of Cosmetic Sciences.

It is a scientific association that brings together technologists, researchers, and professionals and promotes its statutory objectives through the organization of scientific and cultural events, training courses, scientific publications, and participation in technical and scientific social groups.

Founded in 1958, for over 60 years it has collaborated with the academic and school world, institutions and public administration, users and their associations, scientific and professional associations, NGOs, and foundations.

It is a member of the IFSCC, which has more than 60 national associations and over 15,000 members worldwide.

The Association's main objectives can be summarized in two points:

First, improving the relationship between sustainable quality and price of cosmetic products, while simultaneously optimizing the intrinsic quality of products placed on the market.

Second, facilitating correct and transparent communication between all stakeholders through the use of training and promotional tools aimed at relevant stakeholders, while maintaining the appropriate balance between the legitimate aspirations of companies and the needs, expressed or latent, of other components of the value chain.

These objectives stem from our vision for the future of associations in general and scientific associations in general. This particular aspect can be expressed as follows:

Associations will increasingly have fewer corporate, union, or convivial objectives, and technical-scientific associations will increasingly focus on guiding decision-making bodies and opinion leaders toward achieving their statutory goals.

Technical-scientific associations will increasingly be committed to improving the quality of life of individuals, and in this context, cosmetics will also increasingly have a social value for improving personal well-being.

The quality of cosmetic products can be best represented by four homogeneous areas, all equally important and interconnected: Safety, Pleasantness, Effectiveness, and Stability. These four variables (SPES) are understood broadly: for example, safety must be understood in a global sense, including consumers, workers, and the environment, in compliance with business ethics
