CosmetoPack® II: Towards safer cosmetics, from packaging to consumer

For over a decade, the CosmetoPack® project has brought together players in the cosmetics and plastics industries around a major challenge: controlling the risks of migration between packaging and contents.

With CosmetoPack® II, the project is now entering a new phase, led by Polymeris, with a work program designed to produce concrete results, both technical and scientific, on the safety of cosmetic packaging.

This structuring project relies on a proven methodology and concrete results to answer a central question: how can we guarantee the safety of cosmetic packaging without compromising innovation, regulation and performance? From the definition of toxicological thresholds specific to cosmetics, to the development of test protocols adapted to the sector's formulations, CosmetoPack® II lays the foundations for a more responsible industry, better equipped to meet growing regulatory demands.

Focus on the POLYMERIS Scientific Committee: its role and missions

The Scientific Committee is the cluster's nerve center for Research & Development. Its main mission is to build the technological roadmap, and bring it to life, thus justifying Polymeris' scope of expertise. It is made up of recognized academic and industrial experts who use their knowledge to identify and anticipate scientific, technical and technological issues of priority interest in the years ahead. These members are also called upon to appraise projects proposed by members, so that they can be submitted to the labeling committee for a hearing before being submitted to the public funding body.

To find out more about the members of the committee, please consult the dedicated page: Our governance.
