Do your methods and devices put cosmetic innovations to the test? Or has your company developed a new approach to substantiate your own product claims or ingredient safety/efficacy? The Cosmetics & Toiletries (C&T) 2026 C&T Allē Awards want to recognize you!
The C&T Allēs honor behind-the-scenes beauty innovation — spotlighting the technologies that power safe, effective and innovative cosmetic products. This includes not only ingredients and finished formulas, but also testing methods and tools that play a critical role in product validation and claims support.
If your company is pioneering AI-driven, high-throughput, in vitro, ex vivo, or other advanced testing solutions — such as novel substrates, analytical protocols or diagnostic platforms — this is your moment to shine.
