Planetary boundaries are the thresholds that humanity should not exceed in order to live sustainably in a safe ecosystem. According to IPCC researchers, as of 2023, six of these nine boundaries are considered to have been exceeded, and two are on track to be exceeded.

Faced with these developments, the industry is transforming, and the cosmetics sector , an industrial economic pillar of France, is playing its part by committing to an industry with positive impacts.

What better ambassador than the cosmetics industry to embody the integrated and unifying “One Health” approach: a single health for living beings and ecosystems, while maintaining Research, Innovation, and Safety at the heart of its developments.

The Cosmetic Environment & Safety 2025 conference will focus on presenting approaches and advances in terms of eco-design and impact assessment, particularly actions implemented to preserve water resources.

⏰ Stay tuned, the congress program will be coming in a few days.

For its 11th edition, on October 15 and 16, 2025, the theme of the COSMETIC 360 show will be: PREDICTIONS

Anticipate and enhance decision-making to optimise performance, improve efficiency, and manage impacts, in order to shape the next generation of cosmetics.

In a constantly evolving world—marked by technological, societal, and environmental change—prediction is a key driver of performance. It enables organizations to anticipate trends, optimize processes, and prevent hasty or ill-informed decisions, strengthening strategic choices at every stage of the value chain. 

With advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and digital twins, we can now develop more effective, sustainable beauty products that are increasingly tailored to consumer expectations. 

#Ingredients #Biological tests #Packaging #Formulation #Trends #Finished products #Industry-Process

Do you have any innovations related to this theme?

Submit an abstract of your conference before May 7, 2025 , 👉   HERE and take part in the conference program of the COSMETIC 360 trade fair.

Presenting your innovations as part of the conference program is a unique opportunity to make yourself known and to promote your work to the national and international sector.

⚠️ Applications in English only.

The COSMETIC 360 conference room is located in the heart of the show, with free access.

The 6th edition of the SENSORY congress was held on Thursday, March 20 .

A very successful edition, under the sign of conviviality, which brought together more than 160 participants who came to discover the latest advances in sensoriality.

In a world where speed and stress are omnipresent, sensory plays an essential role in bringing a sense of well-being to consumers . For the cosmetics industry, sensory represents a real differentiating asset and is at the heart of Research, thus making it possible to offer ever more innovative solutions.

After redefining the notion of experience , which appeals to our five senses, the delegates immersed themselves throughout the morning in the world of new technologies , now serving the beauty of understanding the consumer experience. The increasingly advanced mastery of neuroscience and AI now provides access to a better understanding of the brain-skin axis , in favor of more sensory and personalized cosmetics. The last conference of the morning reminded the delegates that sensory standards provide a framework for product and consumer safety.

These new tools also allow the development of new formulation techniques . After a conference on the skin and the importance of touch, the delegates were able to discover, in the afternoon, concrete applications in terms of formulation, methodologies, modeling, etc. Not forgetting the inspiring conference on the redefinition of the customer experience in the automotive world, ultimately not so far removed from the cosmetics world.

At the end of the day, the prize for the best poster was awarded to Céline LUCAS from the company ACTALIA SENSORIEL for her poster entitled "𝐼𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑑𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑎 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑒𝑠.

• Thank you to the 160 participants for their smiles and good humor
• Thanks to the 15 speakers for their high-quality presentations.
• Thanks to the 20 poster candidates presented at the congress
• Thanks to the members of the Scientific Committee for their work in developing the program
