A deep dive into cosmetics regulations around the world

This year’s summit 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), South Korea’s evolving safety framework, 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.  

Regional focus areas include: 

  • EU: Microplastics restrictions 
  • China: Enforcement of mandatory safety assessments 
  • South Korea: Introduction of a new safety framework 
  • United States: State-led clean beauty initiatives 
  • Latin America: Regulatory developments in Brazil and emerging markets  

This is an essential event for professionals seeking to stay informed, compliant and ahead of global innovation curves. Join us for an engaging exploration into the evolving regulatory and scientific landscape guiding the future of beauty products.
