As a professional trade association, we represent manufacturers and distributors of cosmetic ingredients before public authorities and defend the interests of the industry. Our mission is to create a favorable regulatory environment that supports innovation and growth while ensuring the safety and quality of cosmetic ingredients.
Promoting the Vision of the Cosmetic Ingredients Industry
We actively collaborate with the authorities to promote the vision of our industry. By participating in the development of legislative and regulatory texts, we ensure that the decisions taken reflect the reality of our sector. This involvement in exchanges with public authorities helps develop balanced regulations that are adapted to the needs of companies in the cosmetic ingredients sector.
Highlighting the Complexity of Our Industry
The cosmetic ingredients industry is complex and faces many constraints, not only regulatory ones. We work to raise authorities’ awareness of these challenges so that they are taken into account in policy decisions. By emphasizing the diversity of ingredients and the specificities of our sector, we contribute to a better understanding of our needs.
Defending the Interests of the Industry
We represent the interests of the profession before decision-making bodies, both at the national and international levels. Our positive influence is reflected in regular exchanges with French Ministries (the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Research, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Customs, the Directorate General for Enterprise…), as well as with organizations such as ANSES, ANSM, and the DGCCRF.
These interactions give us the opportunity to put forward the viewpoint of cosmetic ingredient manufacturers from the earliest stages of drafting laws and regulations. They enable us to propose concrete, tailored solutions that address the challenges of our industry.
Representation at the European and International Levels
Our work does not stop at national borders. We collaborate closely with our European association, EFfCI, to contribute to discussions at the European level.
EFfCI actively participates in the European Commission’s working groups (WG on Cosmetics, nanomaterials, UV filters…). It also maintains regular exchanges and joint actions with European associations in the value chain: CEFIC, Cosmetics Europe, IFRA-IOFI…
Thanks to our European and international network, we strive to influence decisions taken on a global scale to ensure regulatory coherence beyond our borders.
In summary, the INGRECOS association plays a key role in interactions with the authorities regarding legal requirements. Thanks to our expertise and commitment, we help shape a regulatory environment that supports our industry.
