The collaborators of different cosmetic firms in Geneva studied the rules, and on May 27th, 1957, the publication of the founding of the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists was made in the official Federal Notice. At about the same time, the decision was taken to organize in Geneva an International Meeting with the participation of a group of the United States Society. This meeting took place in Geneva from August 1st to August 4th. Again, the importance of the collaboration between the specialists of the cosmetic industry, coming from various countries, was shown. The Authorities of the City of Geneva and the large perfumery firms in this country worked very closely with the Swiss S.C.C. for this first Inter- national Meeting. During the last few years, contacts with other Societies of Cosmetic Chemists influenced in a very beneficial way the development of the Swiss Society, which is now a member of the International Federation of the Societies of Cosmetic Chemists. Local meetings have been organized every year, very often in collaboration with the Federal Office for Public Health and the Swiss Central Office for the Control of Medicaments. These contacts indicate the importance attached by the Swiss Authorities to the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. We also have had several meetings in collaboration with our sister Societies and especially the German Society during the very important meeting which took place in Berne in March, 1960. A new meeting was organized in collaboration with the U.S. Society in September, 1960. All the participants ot• the Conference in Geneva were invited by the important pharmaceutical firms in Basle to be their guests. This gesture further cemented the friendly and professional relationship. The Swiss Society greatly appreciates having been given the opportunity to publish the TEN VOLUME INDEX . The hope of all its members is to cooperate, with this opportunity, in the further development of the idea of an International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists.
