site-industries-cosmetiques A woman's face is divided into two halves called HD and SD. The left half (HD) shows skin imperfections with green and red marks, highlighting wrinkles and imperfections. The right half (SD), like an auto draft, appears smoother with fewer markings.

Perfect Corp. specialist in artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), and developer of 'Beautiful AI' solutions, has announced the launch of its high-definition (HD) skin analysis solution, enabling skin scans in HD thanks to AI.

Perfect Corp.'s newly enhanced AI model is trained on an image dataset with twice the definition compared to its standard definition counterpart, according to its developers. Thanks to this, the HD skin analysis solution can now identify and analyze skin problems even more accurately than before.

For targeted skin care, the new HD tool also features zone detection. By analyzing the user's skin in specific areas of the face, AI provides a more nuanced image of a person's face. 

"At Perfect Corp. we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI Skin Tech, says Alice Chang, founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. Our new HD skin analysis solution represents a significant leap forward. By training the AI model with images of twice the resolution, we're reaching new heights of precision and personalization, enabling users to achieve their unique skincare goals. HD skin analysis enables skincare brands, estheticians, pharmacists and dermatologists to offer the best treatment on a case-by-case basis."

Employment is one of the cluster's priorities, and a driving force behind regional economic development.

Cosmetic Valley also represents the interests of the cosmetics industry to institutions. The cluster acts as an influential spokesperson for the cosmetics industry, representing the sector's interests to regional, national and European bodies. This position aims to ensure that policies take into account the specificities and needs of the cosmetics industry. Since 2022, the establishment of an office in Brussels has enabled the cluster to strengthen its relations with the European authorities, represent the French perfumery and cosmetics sector in Europe, and effectively support French players in European funding programs and support for economic development, innovation and industry.

Cosmetic Valley supports French companies in their export activities through market intelligence and collective operations at international trade shows, in partnership with the French state agency Business France.

site-industries-cosmetiques Two women sit at a desk, one holding a pen and pointing at a laptop screen while the other looks on with a smile. Discussing the latest recruitment strategies for the cosmetics industry, their desk contains a coffee mug, a notebook and some papers. Sunlight streams through the windows in the background.

The cosmetics industry is evolving at a rapid pace, driven by innovation, the constant search for convincing brand promises or differentiating ingredients, and growing consumer demand for high value-added products.

In this particularly dynamic world, recruiting expert managers is of vital importance for companies wishing to remain at the cutting edge of the industry.

The cosmetics sector is unique and requires a multi-dimensional approach to talent. Not only are the desired scientific skills essential, but creativity and a marked sensitivity to the world of cosmetics are also essential. trend market and understanding consumer concerns are just as fundamental.

Executive search in this industry is a perpetual quest to discover passionate and creative profiles, capable of pushing back the boundaries of innovation. Scientific experts, from formulation to product development, marketing or regulatory specialists all converge to form a diverse group, capable of transforming ideas into trend-setting products.

However, recruitment in this sector also presents considerable challenges. Competition to attract and retain the best is fierce, both locally and internationally. Companies must therefore not only offer sustainable competitive advantages, but also create a stimulating working environment that encourages creativity, promotes professional development and personal fulfillment.

Moreover, a virtuous company will offer superior attractiveness, an important criterion to be valued in the recruitment process. Consumers are aware of the industry's ethical and responsible practices, and are pushing the industry to integrate these values into their corporate culture and best practices, leading them to seek out candidates who share the same convictions.

Last but not least, recruitment in the cosmetics industry is not limited to the big players. Start-ups and independent brands are playing an increasingly crucial role in this landscape of innovation and creativity, offering any potential candidate an attractive alternative to the established giants.

In short, the search for talent in this very specific world is much more than a simple quest for technical skills. Above all, it's a relentless search for passionate, visionary and creative profiles ready to shape the future of these companies.
