Reflecting on an insightful panel discussion at the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists in Melbourne : It was an absolute pleasure as ONEA Organic Brand owner to contribute to the recent panel discussion hosted by the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists. Our focus? Claim Substantiation and Consumer Product Claims: Basics and Important Considerations. We delved into the core challenges faced by brands and formulators in today's dynamic market. One of the key dilemmas discussed was the balancing act between maximizing consumer appeal and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. How do we create formulations that captivate consumers while adhering to strict regulatory requirements? It's a fine line that requires careful navigation and a deep understanding of both consumer desires and legal obligations. Another pressing question we tackled: Does the general consumer trust product claims? In an era of information overload and skepticism, building and maintaining consumer trust is more critical than ever. We explored strategies to enhance transparency, credibility, and authenticity in product claims to foster trust and loyalty among consumers. And of course, we didn't shy away from addressing the consequences of getting it wrong. When claims are inaccurate or misleading, the repercussions can be severe – from damaged brand reputation to legal ramifications. We emphasized the importance of robust processes for claim substantiation and meticulous attention to detail at every stage of product development. In conclusion, the panel discussion underscored the multifaceted nature of claim substantiation and consumer product claims in today's landscape. It's a complex arena where science, creativity, and compliance intersect, requiring collaboration and continuous learning to navigate successfully. A huge thank you to the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists for organizing such a thought-provoking event, and to my fellow panelists for their invaluable insights. Looking forward to further discussions and collaborations in the future! The Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists #CosmeticChemistry #ProductClaims #Compliance #ConsumerTrust #ASCC #PanelDiscussion #MelbourneEvents

The #PPWR proposal is one the most complex and controversial files of the end of this legislature. It entails many technical aspects with even more ramifications in virtually all economic sectors, making it simply impossible for the legislators to picture all of its possible consequences. At Cosmetics Europe - The Personal Care Association we work constructively to show how the cosmetics industry invests in innovative packaging waste reduction strategies, and provided recommendations to the policymakers on how to avoid hidden regulatory pitfalls which may worsen rather improve the environmental performance of cosmetics packaging. As the last trilogue on March 4 approaches, we share the key recommendations from the cosmetics and personal care industry in Europe for a PPWR that can deliver both on environmental #sustainability and economic #competitiveness, focusing on: ♻ packaging minimisation 📦 secondary packaging of cosmetics products 💄 digital labelling for small packaging 🏩 hotel miniature cosmetic products
