The beauty industry has a lot to fact-check.
 
Shannen, Hannah and Roger from our Regulatory & Technical teams joined the CTPA - Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association first Scientific Conference in London yesterday, where science, policy and consumer perception took centre stage.
 
With presentations, panel discussions and interactive workshops covering everything from regulatory updates to misinformation and the ever-evolving cosmetics landscape, there was plenty to discuss.

It was a day well spent keeping the facts in focus summed up perfectly by Caroline Rainsford, CTPA’s Director of Science, who said:

" The event demonstrated the value of collaboration between scientists, regulators, policymakers and communications professionals in addressing important issues such as public understanding of science, trust in evidence, and the role of robust scientific data in informed decision-making.

At a time when misinformation can spread quickly, open discussion and clear communication are more important than ever.  CTPA will continue to work on fostering collaboration across the scientific community to promote evidence-based approaches and support greater understanding of the science behind, and safety of, cosmetics and personal care products.”
