in the cosmetics sector.
The 11th edition of The Cosmetic Victories celebrates the essential role of scientific progress in building a more sustainable cosmetics industry.
This year’s theme highlights how research and innovation can contribute to a better understanding of materials, processes, and technologies; paving the way for more responsible and efficient practices across the value chain.
This year’s theme highlights how research and innovation can contribute to a better understanding of materials, processes, and technologies; paving the way for more responsible and efficient practices across the value chain.
Projects submitted under this theme must rely on solid scientific work with proven results and demonstrate an advanced state of the art.
They should:
- Contribute to a better understanding of knowledge in their field
- Present relevant potential for the cosmetics industry
- Showcase ongoing research that is nearing completion
- Include technological challenges that have already been addressed, with results ready to share.
Projects may cover, but are not limited to:
- Knowledge of plants and their traditional cosmetic uses
- New biologically sourced raw materials
- Reuse and by-product valorization
- Biotechnology and eco-process optimization
- Biodegradability studies and ecotoxicity analysis
- Regeneration and biomimicry-inspired approaches
- Resource consumption optimization
Projects are evaluated through a two-step selection process, involving an international scientific jury followed by an industrial jury, to assess both scientific excellence and relevance for the cosmetics industry.
- Quality of scientific state of the art
- Importance of scientific obstacles addressed
- Research effort
- Innovation character of the project for the sector
- Positive environmental impact
By focusing on Scientific Progress Powering Sustainability, The Cosmetic Victories aims to spotlight the pioneering work of researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators whose science drives the cosmetics industry toward a more sustainable future.
