Welcome to the Cosmetics Compliance Forum!
Staying compliant without compromising innovation has never been more challenging for the cosmetics industry. In late 2024, the Financial Times reported that 6% of inspected cosmetic products in the EU contained prohibited substances, including PFAS, raising serious health and environmental concerns. At the same time, consumer expectations are shifting—younger buyers are demanding more transparency than ever, forcing brands to rethink how they communicate ingredient safety and regulatory adherence.
It is not just consumer scrutiny that is intensifying. The industry is still grappling with MoCRA, and as of January, the FDA reported 135,000 imported cosmetic products as non-compliant. REACH revisions are on the horizon, while regulatory divergence between the UK and EU is accelerating, creating compliance headaches for brands operating across markets. On top of that, the growing adoption of AI in personal care is bringing cosmetics into the scope of the EU AI Act, introducing new challenges that few are prepared for.
The Cosmetics Compliance Forum is where the industry comes together to face these challenges head-on. Over two days, we provide a platform for beauty innovators and regulatory experts to share insights, solutions, and strategies for staying compliant without compromising innovation. Covering everything from sustainability practices and ingredient trends to regulatory-driven business impacts and AI’s role in compliance, the Forum delivers critical knowledge through two expert led content tracks designed for both regulatory affairs professionals and product developers.
If you’re navigating compliance complexities or looking to future-proof your business, this is the event you can’t afford to miss.
Join us from 9th to 11th September and be part of the conversation that will shape the future of cosmetics. Find out more with our brand new agenda.
