Clean beauty is a fast-growing cosmetics trend where consumers seek products which are free of harmful chemicals and aligned with their values of sustainability and social responsibility. However, this trend requires that companies substantiate their claims to comply with regulations and win consumer confidence.

This session will explore the world of clean beauty and the legal, regulatory, and business considerations that come with it. Our panel will provide insights into:

• Identifying what clean beauty means for the industry and the consumer
• Exploring skin microbiome trends, safety, and claims of novel ingredients (enzymes, pro/prebiotics, bacteria) and the FDA’s stance on these
• Developing accurate product labeling for clean and natural claims to ensure substantiation
• Striking the right balance between sustainability and safety when developing products
• Ensuring ethical sourcing of clean ingredients and fair trade and labor practices
