Cosmetic Environment & Safety: A day of sharing for the sustainable future of the cosmetics industry

On July 1st, the Cosmetic Environment & Safety conference brought together key players in the sector around a common goal: to accelerate the ecological transition of the cosmetics industry.

The inaugural conference by Sandrine Berthet (DGE – Ministry of the Economy) set the tone for the day: cosmetics, a pioneering sector in the ecological transition, thanks to eco-design, sobriety and responsible innovation.

The session dedicated to water management highlighted concrete solutions:

• Measurement of water sobriety (Marion Serre, EVEA)
• Rapid detection of contaminants (Cécile Duclairoir, University of Rouen)
• Effluent treatment using microalgae (Jean-Michel Pommet, ZENI)
• Controlled industrial recycling (Sylvain Cipriani, CAP INGELEC & Maxime Plazolles, LABORATOIRES M&L)

The morning concluded with a strategic presentation by Pierre Ebran (TALENZ AUDIT) on the CSRD directive, highlighting the challenges of compliance and transparency.

An afternoon focused on action and innovation

The afternoon was devoted to the eco-design of cosmetic products and packaging, with a focus on environmental performance as a lever for competitiveness.

• Matthieu Paillot (KISACO) opened the session with a powerful keynote address on the environmental footprint and the various assessment tools.
• Laurent Gilbert (EcoBeautyScore Association) presented the ECOBEAUTYSCORE tool

🌱 Innovation was there:

• Pulse, the first low-carbon alcohol from legumes (Laetitia Delaye-Beineix, Intact Regenerative)
• Results of the Improve-Pack project on packaging optimization (Dhaou Ghoul, HIGHSYS). Project led since 2023 by COSMETIC VALLEY, in partnership with Normasys, aimed at evaluating and improving packaging systems in the cosmetics industry in the Seine Valley.

🔬 The issues of safety and recyclability of packaging were addressed by:

• Barbara Robin-Duchesne (WatchFrog) & Frank Ponelle (Expanscience Laboratories)
• Charlotte Thevenet (POLYMERIS), accompanied by Eastman and Texen
• Anne-Sophie Moriceau (Intertek) & Cyntia Vialatte (ITERG)

🙏Thank you to all the participants for their presence, and to all the speakers for the quality of their presentations!

Finally, the congress also launched a call for expressions of interest (CEI) on the theme of water. The objective: to identify innovative solutions to better preserve, manage, or recycle this key resource in cosmetics production. The CEI is open until September 15, 2025.

After water management, dive into the heart of cosmetic eco-design!

Ecodesign is a fundamental issue for the cosmetics industry, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle . This starts with more responsible formulations, favoring natural, biodegradable and sustainably sourced ingredients, while excluding controversial substances.

Packaging plays a key role : the goal is to reduce its weight, use recyclable or reusable materials, and promote alternative formats such as refills or solid products. Logistics optimization and local production also help limit transport-related emissions.

In practice, brands are seeking to design products that require less water or energy, while raising consumer awareness of their impact. Innovation (biotechnology, digital traceability) makes it possible to create high-performance products while respecting the planet.

Through the ECODESIGN & IMPACT EVALUATION session of the Cosmetic Environment & Safety congress, explore how environmental footprint analysis can be a lever for performance and transformation, with a sequence dedicated to new test models for understanding content/container interactions.

✨ Opening keynote by Matthieu Paillot, CEO of KISACO
💡 Presentation of the EcobeautyScore with Laurent Gilbert (L'Oréal / EcobeautyScore Association)
🌍 Focus CSRD with Pierre Ebran from Talenz firm
🌱 Sustainable innovations: Pulse, low-carbon alcohol made from legumes Laetitia Delaye from the company INTACT Regénérative.
📦 Special focus on cosmetic packaging: Improve-Pack, CosmetoPack II projects, safety, migration assessment, toxicology, recycling, etc. with Barbara Robin-Duchesne (Laboartoire WatchFrog) and Frank Ponelle (Laboratoires Expanscience), Anne Sophie Moriceau (Intertek) and Cyntia Vialatte (ITERG)
