The Cosmetic Victories relies on two international juries:

  • The Scientific Jury, they selected the six finalists in February.
  • The Prestigious Industrial Jury, composed of leaders and heads of global companies, as well as experts in cosmetic science and innovation. This year, in an exceptional move, and given the quality of the nominated projects, not two but three prizes were awarded, as the jury decided to recognize two projects in the Academic Research category!
