Home > Featured Articles

A conference of experts and discussions between professionals, authorities and partner associations

This conference is one of the largest gatherings of cosmetics manufacturers on regulatory issues. Over two days, company executives and managers responsible for regulatory affairs, research and development, toxicology and quality engineering can discuss their issues with regulatory authorities, partner associations and other professionals in the sector, while learning about future challenges.

For 26 years, COSMED, as a privileged partner of the French and European authorities in charge of the cosmetics sector, has been offering an in-depth analysis of cosmetics, chemical and environmental regulations at its annual Regulatory Congress and sharing with the authorities and partner associations the interpretations essential for correct integration into companies.
