Christophe Masson, Managing Director of COSMETIC VALLEY, opened the “Territories & Industry” event on Tuesday, organized by Usine Nouvelle and La Gazette des Communes in Orléans, alongside Serge Grouard, Mayor of Orléans and President of Orléans Métropole, on the theme:

“The role of clusters and competitiveness poles in territorial performance”

What are the key points?

• Cosmetic Valley, a global reference: Created more than 30 years ago by industrialists, the association has become the world's leading cosmetic cluster. Today, it brings together 6,300 establishments and 226,000 jobs, with a major impact on our country's economy.
• A sector and ecosystem approach: The success of Cosmetic Valley is based on a collaborative vision, which links industry, research, training and public authorities, to stimulate innovation and employment on a local, national and international scale.
• The challenges of reindustrialization: In a complex and uncertain context, Cosmetic Valley is implementing an ambitious roadmap promoting synergies between public and private actors, to create a positive and sustainable dynamic.
• A unique and inspiring model: The alliance between territorial anchoring and international openness makes Cosmetic Valley successful. From Chartres to Shanghai, from Orléans to Brussels, we start from the territories to strengthen the attractiveness and export of our sector throughout the world.

A message for the future: in a demanding context, let us not oppose the France of the territories to that of globalization. Let us unite public and private forces, in confidence. Let us free energies!

Marine cosmetics - The sea, source of inspiration

Authors: Roland Conanec, Delphine Pirot

The potential of marine resources is becoming more apparent every day, particularly for the cosmetics industry, which is facing many challenges. How can we continue to innovate without depleting biodiversity? How can we take into account climate change objectives when developing cosmetic products? What if the answer came from the oceans?

Safety of cosmetic products

Authors: Marc GJ FEUILLOLEY

The safety of cosmetic products is, along with the evaluation of their effectiveness, one of the two pillars on which French cosmetics are based. This is the subject of this new book coordinated by Marc Feuilloley, an expert on the subject, who has chosen to address themes that echo current events and issues that have recently emerged.

Cosmetic product regulations

Authors: Sylvie TOULGOAT

Regulations have evolved in all areas in response to social, economic and political contexts. The cosmetics industry is no exception. More careful quality controls, increased vigilance in the manufacturing of health and care products, greater transparency towards the consumer, better identification of ingredients that could be problematic, have become obligations that highlight the ethical and professional responsibilities of cosmetic manufacturers.

COSMETIC VALLEY and ADI-NA have renewed their partnership agreement for the next three years, for the benefit of the perfume and cosmetics industry in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
