Goals / Remit
Cosmetics Europe represents the interests of the cosmetics and personal care industry in Europe. Ranging from dermo cosmetics, antiperspirants, fragrances, make-up and shampoos, to soaps, sunscreens and toothpastes, cosmetics and personal care products play an essential role in all stages of our life. European citizens use cosmetic products as part of their daily lives, serving their essential needs and expectations. These needs and expectations drive our industry as well as delivering innovative products that enhance consumers’ well-being and quality of life and boost their self-esteem. Cosmetics Europe works closely with the European Institutions to achieve balanced policies and legislation, aiming to contribute to a regulatory and policy environment that encourages innovation and supports a strong and competitive industry serving the needs of consumers. Cosmetics Europe work with other trade associations to address cross sectorial issues impacting the European industry.
