In recent years at CIRS we have seen a dramatic increase in the demand for knowledge in cosmetic regulatory changes, particularly in regards to Asia. As a result, in 2023 we hosted our first Global Cosmetics Regulation Conference to provide a platform for companies to learn more about their obligations in the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from the attendees on how insightful, and beneficial they found both the presentations as well as the opportunity to network with other professionals in the industry, we took the decision to make this an annual event.

The aim of the conference is to bring together professionals from the cosmetics industry and provide them with the opportunity to network, share experiences and best practices, and discuss the challenges and opportunities they currently face.

2023

Our first Global Cosmetics Regulation Conference was held on April 25, 2023, and was a resounding success, with delegates from across the cosmetics industry in attendance.

We had a packed schedule with presentations from our Europe, South Korea, and US teams. The speakers provided an overview of the regulatory frameworks in China, South Korea, the US, and the EU, including recent updates and challenges. The presentations were insightful and gave attendees a better understanding of the different regulations across various regions.

We also welcomed guest speakers Adam Sandzer and Yihu He from Hot Pot China, who gave a fantastic presentation on how to supercharge your brand in China with insight-led marketing.

Eulalie Hemburg from Lisam Systems talked about the Management of cosmetics, product conformity, and PIF creation in ExESS.

Helen Duxbury from Circana shared insights into how Prestige Beauty has been affected by recent significant events such as Brexit and the Pandemic, providing data into how these events have impacted consumer confidence.

The conference concluded with two lively panel discussions – one on sustainability and how companies can continue to innovate while considering sustainability – the other on supply chain challenges for the EU and the UK cosmetic industries post-Brexit. 

Both panels were very engaging, and the attendees participated actively, asking questions and sharing their experiences.
