As far as beauty products and cosmetic ingredients go, perfumes and fragrance ingredients are among the most powerful. Fragrance is a central theme in the March edition of Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Review in which we highlight the significance of the sense of smell and how the pandemic has entirely changed consumers’ relationship with scent. We also share exclusive capacity expansion stories of two leading contract manufacturing companies, Wrapsa and Globepak; we discuss the formulation and cost-saving benefits of modern pharmaceutical excipients and we explore RFID, digital solutions and sustainable innovation in the labelling segment.
