Personal Care - An essential component of living
PERSONAL CARE - AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF LIVING
One of the most rewarding aspects of the cosmetics industry
is the knowledge that it enriches the lives of citizens on
a daily basis. Virtually every person in Europe uses various
cosmetics and personal care items every day, be they soaps,
toothpastes, deodorants or any of the many other products
our industry provides.
In fact, personal care items add so much to our quality of life
it is hard to imagine not using them. They actively contribute
to our personal hygiene, our self-esteem, our health and our
well-being. In short, they make us feel good about ourselves.
However, our dynamic industry has another important role
to play. The European cosmetics business is a global leader.
Our industrys investment in European research, development
and production of cosmetic products means we are a major
employer, a major driver of innovation and a major contributor
to the European balance of payments. Our industry employs
more than 1.5 million people in Europe, including more than
25,000 scientists. European sales are in excess of 70 billion
EUR. All of this makes us an important economic actor in
Europe, and we continue to open new markets.
Operating in a globalising world, our industry represents a
wide diversity of players: worldwide operating multinational
companies alongside thousands of small and medium size
companies. They all are driven by the same passion: to bring
the best quality to the consumer through creativity and science
based innovation and to earn and preserve their trust on a daily
basis.
In staying close to the consumer and to the citizen, our
industry is acutely aware of societal change. Through our
products, we form an intimate relationship with consumers,
and we understand and adapt to their needs. Ever higher
consumer demands, a diversifying population impacted by
global migration, an ageing society with very specific needs for
personal care: all pose specific challenges AND opportunities
for our industry.
We are understandably proud of our achievements and our
leadership as an industry. Despite difficult times, our industry
continues to prosper. The drivers are a willingness to listen
to our customers and the flexibility to adapt to meet their
changing demands. Our commitment to innovation allows us
to create improved products, while our commitment to acting
responsibly ensures we deliver in a socially responsible manner.
This approach can only enhance our reputation as an industry
and as representatives of that industry. Our stakeholders
recognise that we operate as a modern industry should do: we
innovate with sustainable solutions as our goal, and in doing so
respond equally to our own responsibility as a flagship industry
and to the desire of consumers to respect their own health and
wellbeing whilst making responsible contributions to society
as a whole. We believe that health, wellbeing and self esteem
are core elements in our societys evolution and we respond
accordingly. That is the ideal basis for a modern, dynamic
business sector.
Personal Care: an essential component of living. These are
not empty words, but capture the vocation of our industry in
a changing society, in which so many are proud to serve the
consumer and passionate about doing so.

Personal Care - An essential component of living
INTRODUCTION
Cosmetics Europe The Personal Care Association: the
voice of the European Cosmetics Industry in a changing
society.
The added value of our association is defined by the trust and
recognition it earns with members and stakeholders. Its mission
to support the development of an innovative, sustainable,
competitive and respected industry drives our strategy and
operations. Earning public trust, achieving effective public
policy and enhancing member value are at the heart of what
we do.
Cosmetics Europe is aware of the increased speed and
complexity of the issues that face our industry, in Europe
and elsewhere. Being pro-active and communicative, bringing
solutions, showing understanding for and answering the needs
of the consumer, the citizen and the decision maker are decisive
elements for the credibility of our organisation, our European
and international network.
This is why Cosmetics Europe is investing more than ever in
outreach to society, in bringing support to our membership, in
building bridges to stakeholders of every kind.
The introduction of a European Regulation for Cosmetics is
a decisive step towards creating a strong single level playing
field. For the first time, the worlds largest personal care
market of more than 500 million consumers will be served by a
single, harmonised piece of legislation, directly applicable in all
the Member States of the European Union, and no doubt a
source of inspiration for many regions in the world.
This major shift presents opportunities for innovation, consumer
protection and competitiveness. Our industry is determined to
make it successful and will continue to pursue offering its best
expertise in its implementation.
In todays world, voluntary approaches complement regulatory
frameworks. Our industry has understood this and has launched
a European wide Charter and Guidelines on Responsible
Advertising. This initiative was the end result of an intense
process of stakeholder dialogue and is currently implemented
by our industry across Europe. We are proud to demonstrate
our commitment to our consumers trust in this way.
International collaboration is imperative to the success of
our industry. We are not only closely engaged in regulatory
collaboration, but also in creating a basis for strategic
communication across the world, together with our international
industry partners.
The consequence of this ambitious programme is a constant
evaluation of the effectiveness of our organisation. This is
why our internal structure was re-evaluated and benchmarked
against our mission and goals. Today, we have in place a
reviewed structure that will be the toolkit for a pro-active,
credible and transparent performance across Europe.
In this Annual Report, we take you through the major initiatives
and events that marked the year 2012. A year full of economic ,
political and regulatory challenges for our industry.
There was, however, one continuous element: the passion and
the commitment of so many colleagues and counterparts in
companies and national associations, who together serve our
industry with so much professionalism and dedication.
I wish you a pleasant reading,
BERTIL HEERINK

EU COMMISSIONER FOR HEALTH AND CONSUMER POLICY
KEYNOTE MESSAGE
Cosmetics products are about much more than simply beauty.
Virtually every European consumer uses cosmetics products
on a daily basis, and they are important components in our
self-confidence, our well-being and sometimes even our
health. Furthermore, as Europes population becomes older,
cosmetics make an increasingly important contribution in
helping to achieve healthy and active ageing.
Although I held responsibility for this industry for a relatively
short period, it has been an interesting time. In summer
2013, a new Commissioner, Neven Mimica of Croatia, takes
responsibility for the consumer portfolio. I believe he will find
that I am passing him over a sector in robust good health.
In spite of a tough and turbulent economic climate, the
cosmetics industry has remained buoyant. Much of this is
due to the dynamic and innovative nature of the sector.
Some have questioned whether the implementation of the
ban on cosmetics containing ingredients tested in animals
will slow down the capacity for innovation. It may well pose
a challenge, but I believe it will also act as a stimulus for
responsible innovation. An ongoing commitment to research
into alternatives to animal testing will be vital. The EU will play
its part, having confirmed it will continue funding in this area
of research.
Furthermore, our approach demonstrates leadership and
encourages the global community to follow the EU approach.
Indeed, I have raised the topic of cosmetics - particularly
the issue of animal testing - whenever the opportunity arises
outside of Europe. I have done so in both India and China in
recent months.
An important development for the cosmetics industry will
be the entry into force of the new Cosmetics Regulation.
This Regulation will strengthen the legislative framework for
cosmetics. We are aware of the need to limit red tape; we
have no desire to stifle innovation. However, the wellbeing of
the consumer must remain paramount in our considerations.
Many of the improvements that this change will bring will
have direct relevance for consumers. There will be a reinforced
safety assessment for cosmetics and provisions on product
claims. Clear and transparent information is the cornerstone of
this, and we acknowledge the industrys work on responsible
advertising as a positive commitment.
Expectations of society towards cosmetics are constantly
evolving. This presents the industry with both a challenge and
an opportunity. The challenge is to meet the needs, aspirations
and expectations of consumers. The opportunity is to build a
stronger, sharper industry at the cutting edge of innovation.

NEW NAME, NEW LOOK, NEW PLACE
NEW NAME, NEW LOOK, NEW PLACE
In 2012 the organisation celebrated its 50th Anniversary of representing European cosmetics
companies and national associations in Brussels.
The anniversary was marked by a new name, a new visual identify and a change of premises. The
name Colipa was replaced by a new identity: Cosmetics Europe - The Personal Care Association.
This new name reflects the importance of the European industry on the global stage.
The change in identity also saw the launch of a new logo, with the initials of the new name picked
out in bronze, with the name below in a serif font. The new logo was picked up in new corporate
materials and a redesign of the association website.
In February 2012, the move to the new offices was marked by a ceremony for more than 100
industry stakeholders. The President of Cosmetics Europe, Fabio Franchina, looked to the future
of the industry, whilst the Director-General, Bertil Heerink, paid tribute to the achievements of
50 years of member collaboration.

ACTIVITIES IN 2012
INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
From an international perspective, the focus remained on four
key geographic regions; China, Russia, India and the ICCR
countries (International Collaboration on Cosmetics Regulation
between the EU, the US, Japan and Canada).
China
2012 saw significant progress for the European cosmetics
industry in China. The application of the 2009 Chinese cosmetics
regulation had proved challenging for European companies,
leading to a complete breakdown of new product approvals for
the majority of 2010. While many elements within the Chinese
Regulation build on existing, modern legislative models and
are thus compatible with international harmonisation and the
reduction of trade barriers, detailed processes and procedures
were subject to constant dialogue.
Significant progress has been made on trade facilitiation under
the leadership of the European Commission (DG Sanco) and
the Chinese State Food and Drug Authority (SSFDA). Today,
registration numbers of new products are exceeding 2009
levels. However, significant challenges remain for the approval
of new ingredients, and all innovative products containing
them. Cosmetics Europe will continue to work with the SFDA
and the European Commission to find practical solutions to
overcome the remaining hurdles.
Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan

An important event with regard to international convergence in
2012 was the entering into force of the Cosmetics Regulation
of the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia,
creating a harmonised legal framework for a market of close
to 170 million consumers. Through our sister associations in
Russia, Cosmetics Europe was closely involved in the industry
comments on drafts of the regulation and was able to contribute
to the generally high compatibility of the regulation with the
European system.
India
India continued to fine-tune its draft revised cosmetics
regulation, postponing its entry into force several times since
2010. Cosmetics Europe will continue to monitor developments
closely and to provide comments to the Indian authorities.
We will also collaborate with DG Trade to ensure a smooth
phasing-in of the new legislation, now expected in early 2013.
ICCR
The International Collaboration on Cosmetic Regulation (ICCR)
was created in 2007 as a platform for regulators and industry
with participants from the EU, US, Canada and Japan. The ICCR
identifies opportunities for concrete regulatory alignment on
cosmetics, in particular on topics without the immediate need
for changing the respective regulations.
Topics addressed in 2012 included:
Technical criteria to identify nanomaterials for the purposes
of cosmetics regulation
Criteria to assess the safety of nanomaterials for use in
cosmetics
Framework for management of traces of unwanted
substances in cosmetic products
Proposal for reference safe levels for traces of lead and
dioxane
Collaboration between bodies for validation of alternatives
to animal testing
White Paper on alternative methods with regulatory
acceptance in the ICCR countries.
By integrating the international perspective into the daily work
of the Cosmetics Europe technical regulatory expert teams
and staff, our industry can continue to provide consistent and
efficient input to the EU and international debate.

(EURL ECVAM), has been completed. The research reported
positive results for the Mattek tissue model on liquids.
Skin Tolerance: The Bioavailability/Metabolism subgroup
of the Skin Tolerance Task Force has completed initial
scoping and planning and will start project activities in
2013. The next step will be to compare available methods
and then begin refining the most promising assays using an
in silico model.
Genotoxicity: The transferability and reproducibility phase
of the development of a 3D-Comet assay for further
reduction of false positive results has been completed. The
test system has been successfully refined and the next
phase of validation (reproduceability) will begin shortly. A
contract has been signed with the German Federal Ministry
of Education and Research to enhance efficiency and
exploit synergies arising from this genotoxicity research.
Safety Assessment: Current activities focus on a meta-
analysis of the application of new safety assessment
techniques.
ACTIVITIES IN 2012
ALTERNATIVES TO ANIMAL TESTING
Throughout 2012, Cosmetics Europe continued its support
for research to develop and validate assessment methods for
cosmetic ingredients and products that provide alternatives to
animal testing.
The industry co-funds the Safety Evaluation Ultimately
Replacing Animal Testing programme (SEURAT), a research
initiative operating under the Health Programme of the European
Unions 7th Framework Programme. Established in 2011 with
a budget of 50 million, the first phase of this collaboration,
SEURAT-1, is composed of seven research projects that will run
for five years.
At the second Annual Meeting of the SEURAT-1 Research
Initiative in Lisbon in February 2012, Cosmetics Europe
announced an 8 million extension of its research programme
to fund alternatives. This expansion will help fully leverage the
effort invested in previous years. Additional funding will help to


sustain momentum and demonstrates the industrys concrete
commitment to replacing animal testing with alternative
methods as soon as scientifically possible.
The extended programme will focus on:
Pre-validation of the toolbox test methods for skin
sensitisation and data integration activities
Finalising the development and pre-validation of the
3D-model for genotoxicity, and promotion of its regulatory
acceptance
Refinement of eye irritation assays to address remaining
gaps
The industrys continued commitment to alternatives to animal
testing (AAT) has delivered real progress, made possible by our
investment in research.

AAT ADVOCACY
2012 was an active year for the Alternatives to Animal Testing (AAT) Core Group, meeting
frequently to monitor and discuss the implications of EU policymaking.
Following his appointment in November, the European Commissioner for Health and Consumer
Policy, Tonio Borg, decided to allow the marketing ban to enter into force in March 2013 as planned.
There was no offer of any new legislative proposal to mitigate the impact. The Commissioner
indicated continued support for research into alternatives and for promoting the EU model
internationally as a leader on alternative approaches.
ACTIVITIES IN 2012
The full animal testing ban is now in place. This will trigger a discussion in the
industry on the AAT research programme both on future commitments but also on
the what, the how and the where.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Cosmetics Europes 10 Steps to Sustainable Development aims to help cosmetics manufacturing
companies, particularly SMEs, to engage in sustainability activities. A practical guide, How
to Apply Lifecycle Thinking to Cosmetic Products was produced, offering specific advice for
manufacturers of shampoos and skin creams.
Sustainable development has moved centre-stage in the cosmetics industry and was the theme
of the Cosmetics Europe General Assembly and the topic of a showcase event in the European
Parliament.
2012 saw Cosmetics Europe participate in the revision of the Ecolabel criteria for soap, shampoo
and hair conditioners. This work is ongoing and revised criteria are expected to be published by
the end of 2013.
We also participated in two European Commission public consultations which touch on
sustainability: Delivering more sustainable consumption and productions in March, and the 7th
Environmental Action Programme in June.
REACH REGULATION
The implementation of the REACH regulation on chemicals and their safe use is ongoing. The
industry engaged on a range of issues including exposure scenarios, specific environmental release
categories, downstream user obligations, and communication in the supply chain.
Much of this work was conducted through the Downstream Users of Chemicals Coordination
Group (DUCC), a joint platform representing a number of European industries focused on the
implementation of REACH and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulation.
Cosmetics Europe also monitored the industrys state of preparedness for the next REACH
registration deadline of May 31 2013, and tracked the progress of the 12 studies carried out on
behalf of the European Commission in the context of the review of REACH and the CLP regulation.

SELF-REGULATION IN ADVERTISING
The Cosmetics Europe Board adopted the Charter and Guiding Principles on Responsible Advertising
and Marketing Communications in June 2012. The document embodies the key principles of
advertising to be legal, decent, honest and truthful and examines areas that might cause
concern, including taste and decency, advertising to children, and respect for the human being.
This initiaitve was developed in close collaboration with a wide network of stakeholders: EU
institution representatives, consumer organisations, representatives from the world of adverting
and other societal groups.
Turning our pan-European Guiding Principles into concrete changes in advertising practices is key
to demonstrating the robustness of our project. Cosmetics Europe members are working on the
implementation of these principles in European countries, tailoring them where necessary to
reflect national and cultural expectations.
National associations are provided with support and information designed to facilitate their
cooperation with the principles set out in the Charter and Guiding Principles. This implementation
process is monitored with great care and will be reviewed in annual monitoring surveys.
This initiative demonstrates our proactive approach to an issue of importance to consumers and
stakeholders.
The Charter and Guiding Principles sets out the benchmark for the responsible
advertising of cosmetic products in Europe. We invite stakeholders and consumers
to support our initiative and judge us on our results in the near future.

ACTIVITIES IN 2012
TECHNICAL REGULATORY
In 2012, the regulatory focus remained on the implementation
of the new Cosmetics Regulation. This required strong and
intensive collaboration with the European Commission, EU
Member States, industry partners and consumer representatives.
A number of important actions were concluded and industry
guidance on the following key topics was finalised:
Roles and responsibilities along the supply chain
Scope and format of the Cosmetic Product Safety Report
and Safety Assessment
Scope and electronic tools for Product Notification
(including Frame Formulations)
Common criteria for claims
Definition and labelling of nanomaterials and notification
of safety data on nanomaterials
Practical aspects of the reporting scheme for serious
undesirable effects
Exemption criteria from the ban on CMR substances
The Internet-based Electronic Product Notification Portal
(CPNP) was opened on 11 January 2012 and although not
mandatory until July 2013 received more than 10,000
notifications within six months. This EU-wide notification will
replace national schemes, of which there are more than 20.
It will offer significant simplification for companies as well as
greater transparency and product traceability for authorities
across Europe. However, it needs to be recognised that more
work is still needed to ensure the smooth application of the
new Cosmetics Regulation.
Cosmetics is the first sector to apply nano-specific
requirements. This is a learning experience for industry as well
as in-market control authorities. Work on the implementation
of nanomaterial requirements for cosmetics continued
throughout the year, but remained challenging in the absence
of a workable, official interpretation of nanomaterial. The
European Commission established a stakeholder working
group to examine the possible adjustment of the definition of
nanomaterial, along with harmonisation with other sectors.
Once regulators have established a revised definition and
interpretation, industry will adopt it. For the time being,
companies are implementing the requirements according to
industry best practice, helped by a set of technical guidance
documents prepared by Cosmetics Europes nanomaterials
expert team.
Cosmetics Europe will continue timely communication to
members on all aspects of implementation, via the issue
management network, the Cosmetics Europe Extranet and
specific workshops and information days.
Moving forwards, it will be important that the practical
application of this law at Member State level aligns with the
objective of true EU harmonisation. Cosmetics Europe will
monitor this closely through its national member network.
Ingredient Safety
Cosmetics Europe continued to defend a wide range
of safe cosmetic ingredients through submissions of safety
data to the EU authorities. The EUs Scientific Committee on
Consumer Safety (SCCS) views Cosmetics Europe submissions
as being of high scientific quality, responsive to their questions
and having a high chance of resulting in a positive regulatory
outcome. Emerging horizontal safety issues in 2012 that will
set the agenda in 2013 for specific ingredient evaluations
include endocrine disruptors, allergy, vulnerable populations
and exposure to mixtures and traces.
Voluntary Industry Standards
Active participation at the ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) and CEN (European
Committee for Standardization) Working Groups on Cosmetics
led to significant progress in the area of microbiology and sun
protection measurement (SPF, UVA), and definitions in the area
of natural/organic cosmetics.
Biocides Regulation
The revision of the EU Biocides Regulation in 2012
triggered a constructive discussion on the interface between
cosmetics and biocides, which ultimately confirmed the wide
scope of the cosmetic product definition.

ACTIVITIES IN 2012
LEGAL AFFAIRS
Cosmetics Europe and its members are committed to transparency and full compliance with all
applicable competition law requirements. The work of the Legal Affairs Department demonstrates
this commitment through its continued implementation of our competition compliance policy.
Our team is also active in assisting and supporting the activities of Cosmetics Europe by providing
ongoing support for several other departments and strategic project teams. These include the
revision of the EU Biocides Regulation, legal interpretation of provisions on nanomaterials, the
shaping of consortia and continued support to members on the interpretation of the European
legislative framework for cosmetics and borderline situations.
The Department, in partnership with the Strategic Project Team for Selective Distribution
Channels, actively monitors the application of the rules relating to selective distribution under
the EU Commissions vertical block exemption regulation.
Good compliance, sound legal foresight and the
bringing of practical solutions contribute to our
industrys licence to operate

COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Communications and Public Affairs function is the hub of Cosmetic Europes relationship
with our stakeholders, both internal and external. As the gatekeepers and facilitators of our
strategic dialogue with the widest range of our audiences, we work in partnership with members
to enhance the trust in and reputation of our industry.
In a year of intense activity, the team has supported and guided members and colleagues on a
range of communications and advocacy projects. The transition to our new identity as Cosmetics
Europe and the celebrations surrounding our 50th anniversary were marked with high visibility
events and materials. The associations strong relationships within the European Institutions were
built upon with Parliamentary exhibitions and events which opened constructive debate around


issues such as innovation and responsibility. We have continued to maintain and develop key
contacts with European decision makers, NGOs, and our counterparts in related industries, with
the result that cross-industry alliances have been strengthened to ensure better understanding
and co-operation on nanotechnology, endocrine disrupting chemicals and fragrance allergens.
In order to better serve our members needs, the speed and clarity with which we share key
information has been improved with the introduction of two weekly newsflashes on industry
wide news and developments, and advocacy activities which impact upon our industry. This is
but the beginning of a range of initiatives moving forwards which will ensure that we constantly
strengthen our network through timely and targeted briefing.
A coherent voice for our industry which shapes our strategic direction whilst
responding to behavioural and economic change: that is our central goal, and it
underpins our commercial strength and our societal value.

COSMETICS EUROPE EVENTS IN 2012
SCIENCE, BEAUTY AND CARE: LOOKING TO FUTURE GENERATIONS
In May 2012, Cosmetics Europe organised a major exhibition in the European Parliament: Science,
Beauty and Care: Looking to Future Generations. The exhibition was sponsored by Franoise
Grossette, MEP, and featured a keynote speech from Lazlo Andor, Commissioner for Employment,
Social Affairs and Inclusion.
The exhibition offered visitors an opportunity to use interactive technology to visualise themselves
at different stages of their lives from babyhood to old age with the differing personal care
needs. Visitors could also test their hand hygiene, learn how to brush their teeth correctly and see
synthetic skin designed to avoid the need for animal testing.
The exhibition was complemented by a dinner in the European Parliament sponsored by Elisabeth
Morin Chartier, MEP. The event showcased the work of Look Good, Feel Better, an organisation
dedicated to helping cancer patients regain and maintain their self-esteem though the effective
use of cosmetics.

Personal Care - An essential component of living
Our Vision
The cosmetics, perfumery and personal care industry and products contribute significantly to
individual and social well-being in everyday life.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support the development of an innovative, sustainable, competitive and
respected cosmetics industry in Europe, which best serves consumers.
Our Goals
As the single, recognised voice of European cosmetics, perfumery and personal care, COSMETICS
EUROPE must:
Earn public trust by fostering transparent and reliable relationships with public authorities
and stakeholders. This enables it to communicate most effectively the social and
economic relevance of the cosmetics industry in terms of satisfying consumer needs.
Achieve effective public policy by actively shaping workable and fair policy frameworks
regulating the industry. To this end, proactive and effective networking and communication
are of the essence. Opportunities for achieving alignment on an international scale should be
created and optimised.
Enhance member value by addressing their needs in an efficient and transparent way through
timely information and decision making processes. Focus on the issues and activities important
to members. Make best use of members expertise and dedication in order to optimise efficiency
and one-voice positions.
