Lipids & Cosmetics Congress - Call for oral and poster presentations

Until September 10, 2025

The Lipids & Cosmetics congress will return to Bordeaux for its 5th edition, on January 28 & 29, 2026.

A major challenge for the industry, innovation in the field of lipids is at the heart of the Lipids & Cosmetics congress. Bringing together nearly 200 international participants, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, come and share your work, present your results or discover the latest initiatives in the field of lipids.

On this occasion, the Scientific Committee of the congress is launching a call for oral communications and posters on the following themes:

Innovation and science are at the heart of today's cosmetics industry, while ensuring the preservation of its historical and timeless values (safety, performance, well-being, etc.). Today, new challenges must be considered, such as naturalness, sustainability, inclusivity, and personalization. At the heart of this transformation, lipids play a key role: essential to the structure and protection of the skin, they are at the center of modern formulations, combining biological efficacy and respect for the environment.

The search for transparency and ethical solutions is particularly eagerly awaited by consumers who wish to better understand the composition of their products, their origin, and their safety for health and the environment. This quest is accompanied by a growing desire for traceability and reliable certifications. The sensory experience remains essential to attract, retain, and always better meet the expectations of an increasingly informed public. Thus, contemporary cosmetics is built at the crossroads of scientific expertise, ethical commitment, and sensory emotion. It is in this context that the Lipids & Cosmetics 2026 congress will be structured around 6 themes, centered on lipids and their applications for:

  1. Their biological properties
  2. Development of ingredients and raw material supply chains
  3. Formulation and sensoriality
  4. Their Processes & Design
  5. Their analyses and the characterization of their effects

Would you like to submit an oral presentation and speak at the next conference?

Cosmetic Environment & Safety: A day of sharing for the sustainable future of the cosmetics industry

On July 1st, the Cosmetic Environment & Safety conference brought together key players in the sector around a common goal: to accelerate the ecological transition of the cosmetics industry.

The inaugural conference by Sandrine Berthet (DGE – Ministry of the Economy) set the tone for the day: cosmetics, a pioneering sector in the ecological transition, thanks to eco-design, sobriety and responsible innovation.

The session dedicated to water management highlighted concrete solutions:

  • Measurement of water sobriety (Marion Serre, EVEA)
  • Rapid detection of contaminants (Cécile Duclairoir, University of Rouen)
  • Effluent treatment using microalgae (Jean-Michel Pommet, ZENI)
  • Controlled industrial recycling (Sylvain Cipriani, CAP INGELEC & Maxime Plazolles, LABORATOIRES M&L)

The morning concluded with a strategic presentation by Pierre Ebran (TALENZ AUDIT) on the CSRD directive, highlighting the challenges of compliance and transparency.

An afternoon focused on action and innovation

The afternoon was devoted to the eco-design of cosmetic products and packaging, with a focus on environmental performance as a lever for competitiveness.

  • Matthieu Paillot (KISACO) opened the session with a powerful keynote address on the environmental footprint and the various assessment tools.
  • Laurent Gilbert (EcoBeautyScore Association) presented the ECOBEAUTYSCORE tool

🌱 Innovation was there:

  • Pulse, the first low-carbon alcohol from legumes (Laetitia Delaye-Beineix, Intact Regenerative)
  • Results of the Improve-Pack project on packaging optimization (Dhaou Ghoul, HIGHSYS). Project led since 2023 by COSMETIC VALLEY, in partnership with Normasys, aimed at evaluating and improving packaging systems in the cosmetics industry in the Seine Valley.

🔬 The issues of safety and recyclability of packaging were addressed by:

  • Barbara Robin-Duchesne (WatchFrog) & Frank Ponelle (Expanscience Laboratories)
  • Charlotte Thevenet (POLYMERIS), accompanied by Eastman and Texen
  • Anne-Sophie Moriceau (Intertek) & Cyntia Vialatte (ITERG)

🏅 Congratulations to Estelle REN from the University of Limoges, who was awarded the best poster prize for her work: "Development and characterization of an eco-responsible sunscreen formulation based on hydroxyapatite"

🙏Thank you to all the participants for their presence, and to all the speakers for the quality of their presentations!

Finally, the congress also launched a call for expressions of interest (CEI) on the theme of water. The objective: to identify innovative solutions to better preserve, manage, or recycle this key resource in cosmetics production. The CEI is open until September 15, 2025.
