The 2026 edition of the EFfCI Joint Working Groups took place in Paris on 24–25 June, bringing together experts from the INO, RAPS, and International Relations Working Groups for the Association’s traditional mid-year meeting.
A remarkable discussion
Over two days of intensive work, participants engaged in constructive discussions on key topics shaping the cosmetic ingredients sector. Despite exceptionally high temperatures in the French capital, the sessions remained highly productive, offering valuable opportunities to exchange perspectives, align on priorities, and address current regulatory, scientific, and international developments.
The Joint Working Groups once again demonstrated their importance as a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing across EFfCI’s expert community. Discussions covered a broad range of issues, reflecting the increasing complexity of the global regulatory landscape and the need for coordinated, science-based approaches.
In addition to the formal sessions, participants also had the opportunity to strengthen professional relationships in a more informal setting. Moments of networking, the enjoyment of French cuisine, and the unique backdrop of Paris, including a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, contributed to a positive and engaging atmosphere.
EFfCI would like to thank all participants for their active contribution and commitment. A special acknowledgement goes to INGRECOS for their excellent organisation and for kindly hosting the meeting at their offices.
These moments of collaboration and exchange remain at the core of EFfCI’s mission and are key to supporting the industry in addressing both current and future challenges.
Science moves forward together. Events like the EFfCI Joint Working Groups remind us that behind every regulation and every innovation, there are people committed to a safer, more sustainable future for the cosmetic ingredients industry.
