The international symposium dedicated to preclinical and clinical cosmetic testing is back for its 6th edition. Cosmetotest will take place on June 2–3, 2027 in Lyon, in hybrid format, bringing together more than 270 experts from around the world for a demanding scientific program.
A program at the heart of current scientific debate
This 2027 edition explores topics that are shaping research in dermo-cosmetics today:
- The skin’s biological clock, and its influence on evaluation protocols
- Sensitive and compromised skin, a key issue for formulation and safety testing
- Makeup as a sensory experience, at the crossroads of product performance and user perception
- Cutaneous biomarkers, central to the most recent evaluation methods
Cross-cutting themes further enrich the program: the skin microbiome, AI and connected diagnostics, ethnic diversity in testing protocols, the skin-brain connection, and new in vitro models.
An event open to the whole industry
Cosmetotest brings together complementary profiles over two days: clinical and preclinical laboratories, academics, instrumentation manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and cosmetic brands. This diversity fuels in-depth exchange, beyond the format of a classic conference, making the symposium a must-attend event for anyone working on cosmetic product evaluation and validation.
