The Centre Val de Loire region has placed research and innovation in cosmetics at the heart of its Regional Strategy for Innovation. The leader of the sector, the territory is home to more than 150 cosmetics companies, supported the creation of the Cosmetic Valley<\/a> competitiveness cluster, is the leading network of manufacturers in the sector and backs, with Lombardy, the Go4Cosmetics<\/a> European platform for digital and ecological transition.<\/p>\n

In 2015, it launched the Cosmetosciences Research & Development Ambition<\/strong> programme backed by the University of Orl\u00e9ans in partnership with the University o Tours, the CNRS, Cosmetic Valley and Le Studium, which today brings together 12 laboratories et 23 research teams with recognised skills in the fields of plant and biotechnological sourcing, the development of eco-friendly extraction processes, the characterisation of plant extracts, the formulation and encapsulation of active ingredients, cutaneous biology and the use of new technologies to evaluate the activity and control the safety of active ingredients in cosmetics.<\/p>\n

The programme aims to give impetus to a dynamic of research and innovation in cosmetics<\/strong> between academic laboratories and manufacturers to support the development of the cosmetics sector, with unique positioning at European level throughout the value chain, from the raw plant materials to the finished products. To date, 40 collaborative projects have been backed by the Centre-Val de Loire region\u2019s laboratories in partnership with more than 30 manufacturers in the cosmetics sector.<\/p>\n

A programme for research and innovation in cosmetics that is in line with the requirements of the sector and consumer expectations<\/h2>\n

The research activities developed in Cosm\u00e9tosciences focus on the current cornerstones of the cosmetics industry to best meet consumer expectations: eco-friendly, effective, safe cosmetics that are \u2018Made in France\u2019. Indeed, the competitiveness of our industry requires that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) should be incorporated into the values of the France label. Consumers expect (i) cosmetic products formulated from plant materials, at the level of both the active ingredients and the functional ingredients (preservatives, surfactants\u2026) with an increasingly high naturalness indicator, (ii) effective products with measurable effects on the skin and (iii) complete safety in terms of toxicity and hormonal effects. Furthermore, the cosmetics industry wishes to be a good example in terms of reducing the environmental impact of products and is moving towards the use of renewable materials and bio-sourced eco-friendly solvents and giving priority to shorter supply chains to limit the carbon footprint, inputs and discharges.<\/p>\n

Cosmetosciences, also includes laboratories that are working on materials technology and digital technology.<\/p>\n
