The 16th European edition of the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit will take place in Paris on 23-25th October. For the first time, the summit will delve into sustainability schemes, green materials, and blue beauty. The summit comprises four distinct sessions and a workshop that covers sustainability in packaging.

A growing number of cosmetic brands and ingredient firms are looking at third party sustainability schemes and ethical labels. Details will be given of leading schemes and labels. As awareness rises of the negative impact of cosmetics & personal care products on marine ecosystems, there is growing interest in blue beauty. Approaches to create marine-friendly products will be discussed. An update will also be given on green materials, especially supply chains and product innovations.

Weleda and AAK Personal Care have come on board as gold sponsors, whilst Croda Beauty and P2 Science are silver sponsors. Leading organisations involved in sustainability schemes and eco-labels, including Natrue, COSMOS, Ecocert, Nordic Swan and EU Eco-Flower will be participating.

Note, early booking rates will end on 1st August.
