QPortfolio.org, which houses the internationally used Q PRO instruments, has been nominated for this year’s Safety in Beauty Diamond Award for ‘Innovation & Pioneering Service’. Launched in October 2013 by Antonia Mariconda, the Safety in Beauty campaign works hard to support, educate and empower consumers of cosmetic treatments. We fully support its important goals to ensure an increasingly safer and transparent industry.
