About the event

The increasing consumer awareness and demand for organic products are reshaping the cosmetics and beauty industry. While consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of sustainability issues, companies face the challenge of adapting their practices to stay ahead of the market. The sustainable cosmetics market is expected to grow into a USD 35.45 billion industry by 2034, highlighting a significant shift in consumer preferences, with over 40% of shoppers prioritizing natural ingredients in their beauty and personal care products.

The sustainable cosmetics and beauty market is rapidly expanding, predicted to reach USD 433.2 billion by 2034 from USD 190.7 billion in 2024, at an 8.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for ethically sourced, natural, and environmentally friendly products, leading to trends like waterless formulations, eco-friendly packaging, and the use of upcycled ingredients and plant extracts. 

The demand for sustainability in the beauty sector is gaining momentum. Recent statistics reveal a significant shift in consumer priorities, with an emphasis on natural, cruelty-free, and environmentally responsible products. In 2023, a considerable portion of U.S. consumers highlighted the importance of using 100% natural ingredients and cruelty-free practices in their beauty products.

Sustainable beauty is shaping the future of the beauty industry. Driven by environmentally conscious consumers, particularly the younger generation, brands are reevaluating their practices to meet these evolving demands. As this trend continues to grow, it will further influence consumer choices and set new ethical and environmental standards across the beauty industry. The movement towards sustainable beauty is a testament to the changing values of consumers, reflecting a deeper commitment to environmental responsibility and ethical consumption​​.

The need for sustainable beauty products is being driven by the concerns of younger generations, including in relation to environmental and ethical issues. Consumers are becoming increasingly mindful of their purchasing decisions, seeking products and brands that align with their values and contribute to a more sustainable future. However, will these values change under economic pressures? And how can cosmetic companies adapt to this without faltering from the sustainable path.

Consumers also express a growing interest in sustainability, with many seeking products packaged in recyclable or biodegradable materials. Nevertheless, their increased awareness is also reflected in their growing demand for products and labels that can be proven, as transparency emerges as a crucial factor for them, with trust playing a pivotal role in purchasing decisions. 

The integration of sustainable practices into formulation processes involves sourcing raw materials responsibly, minimizing waste, and reducing carbon footprint throughout the production chain. These approaches translate into everything from more waterless products to greener methods for raw material extraction and production, to eco-designed products, to reducing waste via upcycling, to greater use of ingredients with positive social and reduced environmental impact (increased use of biodegradable substances). Brands are exploring innovative ingredients and manufacturing techniques to create high-performance products that are both effective and that do not harm the planet. In this sense one of the priority actions in the sector is to source responsibly, including by screening supply chain risks: “In the beauty sector, there are already strong incentives to engage with biodiversity, given its central role as iconic ingredients and inspiring stories behind products and brands.

Sustainable cosmetics and beauty focus on minimizing the environmental and social impact of cosmetic products by using biodegradable and renewable ingredients, eco-friendly packaging made from recycled or compostable materials, green manufacturing processes that conserve water and energy, and ethical sourcing of raw materials

The Sustainable Cosmetics & Beauty Conference is the definitive platform bringing together visionaries, innovators, formulators, regulators, brand leaders, and sustainability professionals from across the global beauty and personal care industry. As consumer expectations shift toward cleaner, greener, and ethically sourced beauty products, the need for transparent, science-backed, and sustainable solutions has never been more critical.

This Sustainable Cosmetics & Beauty Forum is dedicated to exploring the future of beauty — one that embraces environmental responsibility, ingredient transparency, circularity, and inclusive innovation. Over two high-impact days, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving sustainability landscape and how companies can transform their practices to stay competitive, relevant, and responsible.

Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions on cutting-edge topics such as green chemistry, circular packaging, waterless formulations, bio-based ingredients, carbon neutrality, and regulatory compliance across global markets. With increasing scrutiny from both consumers and policymakers, this event will provide real-world insights into how companies can scale sustainability from product ideation to end-of-life.

Whether you're a startup challenging the status quo or an established brand on a transformation journey, the Sustainable Cosmetics & Beauty Forum is your opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore clean beauty innovations, and shape the future of conscious cosmetics.
