Dear Readers,

The Skinobs team would like to apologise sincerely to Faiza Hussain, Co-Founder and Head of Innovation & Operations NEX Skincare, for the similarities between her article “Neurocosmetics: Bridging Beauty and Brain,” and our article, “How Neurosensory Approaches Can Help to Evaluate Cosmetics?“. The lack of attention and checking between the draft and final versions that were saved and used in the final text is due to an error on our part.

We are thrilled to share with you again the ZOOM#32 in its integrality with the corrected version of this article.

We deeply regret this error and apologise again for any confusion caused.

It has always been crucial for Skinobs to share authentic content written by ourselves, bringing together information read in the latest specialist publications and magazines and heard at the latest scientific conferences. We understand the importance of maintaining truthful information in a world where the use of AI can sometimes be problematic.

Kind regards,
The Skinobs Team

Welcome in this 32nd edition of the ZOOM, your go-to resource dedicated to preclinical assays and clinical evaluation in cosmetics.

As the step into a new year, we are proud to see Skinobs take an increasingly central role in the field of cosmetics evaluation. 2024 marked a pivotal moment for the platform: a comprehensive new version aimed at providing an even more intuitive user experience, complete with new features such as an internal messaging system and project-based management.

Our growth was not only digital, but also geographical. In 2024, we connected with key players in the evaluation sector, testing laboratories, and measurement devices manufacturers across Asia, NorthW America, South America and Europe. These meetings took place during scientific congresses such as ISBS, major trade shows like the unmissable in-cosmetics Global, and laboratory visits around the globe.

For Skinobs, these exchanges are essential to share reliable and robust information on our platform and offering a comprehensive overview of CRO’s worldwide. Thanks to these visits, we can assess the expertise, technology level, and unique qualities of each laboratory.

What has driven us since the beginning of 2024 is sharing each local beauty trends with you through thematic webinars, as we face an exciting challenge: how to meet the diverse needs, regulations, and sensitivities of each market ; expectations for cosmetic products vary significantly depending on sociocultural contexts and local habits… and so do testing requirements. In 2025, events such as Cosmet’Agora in Paris, HPCI India in Mumbai, in-cosmetics Global in Amsterdam, Cosmetotest in Lyon and in-cosmetics Korea… provide ideal opportunities for dialogue.

“While our vision has always been international, we understand that each market has its own challenges and opportunities, from regulatory differences to unique consumer expectations,” said Anne Charpentier, founder and CEO of Skinobs. “By listening to local testing needs and adapting our approach, we help cosmetics brands and researchers find accurate testing solutions”.

In this ZOOM#32, we focus on sensory evaluation, a cornerstone of the cosmetics industry, and we are thrilled to share the latest news from our partners.
