Given the consumer demand for more natural products and the power of the active substances obtained from botanical extracts, the cosmetics industry cannot do without raw materials derived from plants. However, due to their complexity, it remains quite challenging to assess the safety of these ingredients. Carine Tornier, of Episkin, and Fanny Boislève, of Yves Rocher, shared their experiences at the 27th European Dermocosmetology Days held by the CED (European Centre of Dermocosmetology) in Lyon, France, in May 2015.
