Cosmetics Europe Week takes place this year from 16-19 June 2015 in Brussels, Belgium. Last year’s events were a great success gathering nearly 300 participants from 48 countries to discuss the scientific and regulatory landscape of the cosmetics industry and the importance of consumers at the heart of our business.

Cosmetics Europe Week is a unique opportunity to connect and interact with an international audience and exchange views about this innovative and vibrant industry throughout a week-long series of events.

Special emphasis is placed on the key developments in science and regulation that can directly impact EU and global cosmetics legislation across the value chain.
