ISOC 2010 menghadirkan pakar peneliti di bidang kosmetik dari Singapura, Korea, Belanda, Jepang, serta sejumlah perguruan tinggi dan perusahaan kosmetik nasional.
Beberapa topik yang dipresentasikan pada antara lain "Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of Cosmetics" (Nuning S. Barwa, Martha Tilaar Group, Indonesia), "Development of Health Functional Food and Functional Cosmetics for Skin Beauty from Natural Products" (Se Young Chong, Kyung Hee University Korea), "Formulation and Evaluation of Oil in Water Emulsion Shampoo Containing Soy Protein Isolate and Hydrolysate" (Jessie Sofia Pamudji, ITB).

Tidak hanya membahas kemajuan dari segi sains dan teknologi, ISOC 2010 juga membahas segi peraturan dan standar keamanan terkini, serta strategi pemasaran dan inovasi produk dalam bidang kosmetik.

"School of Pharmacy ITB, established in 1947, has been exploring a lot of research in sciences and technology of cosmetics, together with industries and other institutions in Indonesia. They offer us a wide range of aspects to be exploited in the development of cosmetics," tutur Akhmaloka pada pidato pembuka. "ITB fully support this activity. We hope that ITB would be a center of science research activity in cosmetics development, not only for science development, but also for commercial purposes," tambahnya.
