European Cosmetics Legal & Regulatory Forum

C5 Group organizes the European Cosmetics Legal & Regulatory Forum. C5 Group produces conferences and business intelligence events for senior decision-makers across international markets.

The European Cosmetics Legal & Regulatory Forum focuses on the evolving legal, regulatory, product compliance, and business-risk landscape for cosmetics and personal care companies in Europe. The 2026 programme addresses major developments including the EU Chemicals Omnibus, the anticipated revision of the EU Cosmetics Regulation, ingredient restrictions, sustainability and green claims, packaging, product liability, digital marketing, product classification, sunscreen regulation, fragrance compliance, PFAS, and IP protection.

The conference will take place on 9–10 November 2026 at The Clermont London, Charing Cross, Strand, London WC2N 5HX.

The forum is designed for professionals responsible for legal strategy, regulatory affairs, product stewardship and safety, compliance, toxicology, R&D, product development, marketing, and policy in the cosmetics and personal care sector. It is also relevant to legal, consulting, testing, certification, laboratory, insurance, risk management, packaging, ingredient, fragrance, retail, and private-label professionals supporting cosmetics compliance.

The audience spans cosmetics and personal care, legal and advisory services, testing and certification, laboratories, raw materials and ingredients, fragrance and flavor, insurance and risk management, retail and private label, and packaging and materials. The programme is particularly relevant to organizations managing product formulation, safety, claims, marketing, supply-chain, sustainability, and regulatory obligations across Europe.

The 2026 programme covers the EU Chemicals Omnibus and Cosmetics Regulation developments; REACH and CLP interaction; green claims; influencer and digital marketing; ingredient restrictions; borderline product classification; PPWR; product liability and collective redress; global cosmetics regulation; IP and brand protection; sunscreen requirements; fragrance-allergen labelling and IFRA 52; and PFAS regulation, reformulation, and liability.

Attendees will gain practical guidance for preparing cosmetics businesses for evolving EU and UK requirements, including managing overlapping chemicals rules, substantiating environmental and product claims, preparing for ingredient restrictions and reformulation, and meeting packaging obligations. The programme also examines strategies for reducing product-liability and litigation risk, strengthening influencer agreements and brand protection, managing borderline classifications, and coordinating compliance across the EU, UK, United States, Canada, and China.

The faculty includes senior legal and regulatory professionals with experience in cosmetics regulation, product liability and product risk, regulatory affairs, compliance, and intellectual property. The current faculty includes partners from international law firms, regulatory consultancy leaders, and in-house regulatory affairs professionals from the cosmetics industry.

The programme includes continental networking breakfasts on both days, networking coffee breaks, and a networking lunch on Day One. These scheduled breaks provide opportunities to connect with peers across legal, regulatory, compliance, product safety, R&D, marketing, advisory, and related functions.
