Ahead of the inaugural Testing & Regulation Forum at in-cosmetics Global on 10 April in Amsterdam

Editor Tim Probert caught up with four participants – Anne Charpentier, CEO of Skinobs; Mike Sohn, general manager of REACH24H Korea; Irene Cotogni, cosmetic product specialist at Neotron; and Elisa Esteve, product safety & regulatory affairs manager at Cosmeservice – to explore the key trends.

Another significant trend is anti-pollution, driven by growing awareness of environmental impacts. Products targeting pollulants, UV and oxidative stress are becoming more prevalent because pollution contributes to inflammation, which accelerates unhealthy ageing.
