Urban Heat Island and the Quest for Climate-Resilient Ingredients

Thursday 19 September
3:30 pm

Eco Anxiety affects 30% of people worldwide making Climate Adaptive Beauty an upcoming consumer concern for the future. With Global Temperatures set to reach new records in the next 5 years, we are seeing a phenomenon known as Urban Heat Islands. Urban areas, that 50% of the population call home, can experience a temperature increase of up to 7°F vs surround areas. These heat waves can lead to several skin issues such as more reactive skin, photoaging with hyperpigmentation, wrinkle formation and atopic-prone skin. Join Symrise as we explore climate hero ingredients and resilient technologies to ward off heat and pollution damage, mitigate the extreme environmental impact on skin and influence overall wellbeing.
