Led by our esteemed scientific advisory board, and entrusted by 55,000+ cosmetic scientists, R&D influencers and allied professionals, Cosmetics & Toiletries (C&T) delivers first-rate content on formulating, research, regulation and testing insights to empower and advance product breakthroughs.
The industry is feeling new energy, shifting from survival to revival mode. While we’re still finding our way, the difficult lessons we’ve learned over the past 18+ months have created opportunities that never previously existed. Maskne care, transfer-proof cosmetics, ultra-soothing skin repair and “feel good” beauty are just a few examples. Time for self-reflection also gave rise to a new consumer mindset for health, wellness, safety and responsible beauty—all of which have forced us to think differently, innovate and reinvent.
C&T aims to inform and inspire cosmetic innovators as they navigate these new market directions. While recent trends may have spun off of COVID-19, beauty is always dynamic. Check out our 2022 media planner below to see where it's headed, and join us in empowering product breakthroughs by:
