Innovation

The cosmetics and personal care industry is a fast-paced and highly innovative sector that is driven by science. To remain competitive in a changing world, we need a Europe that responds to the changing needs of consumers and facilitates access to safe, innovative products.

People

Our industry is about taking care of people. The vast majority of Europe’s 500 million people use cosmetic and personal care products, contributing to well being and healthy lifestyles, and positive self-esteem every day.

We also support over 2 million jobs across the value chain.

Planet

Our industry places a strong emphasis on its environmental responsibilities, and supporting proactive voluntary and self-regulatory initiatives. In our fast changing world, we need to meet consumers’ expectations in terms of sustainable consumption, and build and maintain their trust.

Future

Our industry has been highly innovative and science driven for generations, but as impressive as advances have been until now, the 21st century represents a whole new horizon for products and ingredients, as well as other essential arenas, like testing methods and self-regulation.
