A cosmetic chemist in Thailand

This week I’m traveling to Thailand.  I’m doing a talk for the local IFSCC chapter and then another in Kuala Lumpur next week.  It’s very exciting and I love to travel to places I’ve never been before.

I’m actually in Thailand as I write this but just wanted to let you know why there might be less posting than usual.

But I did get a chance to go to one of their local malls.  What continues to amaze me whenever I travel around the world, is how much big brand names have been infused into the local culture.  I found all the top beauty names including Lancomb, L’Oreal, Khiels, Yves Saint Lourant, etc. in this local mall.  And in the local 7-Eleven, I found all the typical brand names you’d find in the US.  The primary difference is that the packaging is much smaller than you’d get in the US.

Interesting.
