A deep dive into cosmetics regulations around the world
This year’s conference will bring together key stakeholders – including regulators, policy makers, and industry leaders – to address the most critical legislative developments shaping the global cosmetics industry.
The program will focus on regulatory shifts across major markets, including the EU’s microplastics ban, China’s upcoming mandatory safety assessments (effective May 2025), state-level legislation in the US, and significant regulatory movements in Latin America, particularly Brazil. The growing global crackdown on PFAS in cosmetics will also be a topic of discussion.
Participants will gain strategic insights into the global implications of these regulatory updates, and the compliance hurdles they present. In parallel, the conference will spotlight major trends reshaping the industry – from the rise of sustainable and clean beauty to breakthroughs in biotechnology and next-generation ingredients.
Key topics:
- APAC: China’s and Japan’s evolving frameworks
- Europe: The EU’s two-track cosmetics law overhaul (2025–2026)
- Sustainability Spotlight: Circular beauty, carbon labelling, and microplastics
- Animal-Free Testing: NAMs, NGRA, and the global shift to non-animal methodologies
- The Americas: MoCRA, Health Canada updates, California’s ingredient laws & sun safety innovation
- Regional Updates: ASEAN alignment & Latin American regulatory trends
