This regulatory text concerns both intentionally added PFAS and unintentional residues from manufacturing processes or raw materials. A round table at the congress will bring together legislators, manufacturers and analytical laboratories to answer questions on the identification and quantification of PFAS in formulations.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, French cosmetics remain the country's second-largest export sector, with exports climbing from 7 to 22.4 billion euros in 25 years. However, a slowdown was observed in the previous year. In the face of globalization, the congress will demystify the opportunities and regulatory challenges specific to markets such as China, the United States and the Middle East, which require in-depth expertise. The participation of the Andean Community and the Japanese JCIA Association will further enrich the debates.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le 1er et 2 avril 2026, le Congr\u00e8s Cosmed \u00e0 Paris rassemblera experts et d\u00e9cideurs du secteur cosm\u00e9tique pour \u00e9changer sur les d\u00e9fis r\u00e9glementaires actuels.
