Over 2 billion dollars of turnover (¹) is the 2007 result announced for the natural and organic brands segment, the most dynamic of the European cosmetics industry.Natural Beauty Summit Europe, the first European natural cosmetics and sustainable development event, is a natural part of this dynamic. Eco-packaging, the harmonization of standards, success stories… the edition that will take place on 8 and 9 October 2008 at the Paris Nord Villepinte Convention and Exhibition Center develops the essential themes of this economy and has every appearance of being a veritable forum of ex-changes and networking for its players. The German market represents over half of natural cosmetics sales in Europe, but England and France are seeing the fastest growth.
A new basis for growth is forming, including the development of new brands, new concepts, the implementing of common standards and new regulations. The Natural Beauty Summit organized by Beyond Beauty Paris in partnership with Organic Monitor looks at all sides of the question:
The program of 8 October blends with the European Pack Summit to deal with “The Ecological Issues of Cosmetics Product Packaging”:
The day of 9 October will focus on the new challenges in natural cosmetics, and notably the latest initiatives concerning the harmonization of European (BDIH, NaTrue, Cosmebio) versus American (NSF, OASIS, USDA, NPA) certification standards.
It will provide a summary in terms of European regulations and legislation, notably with the outline of the REACH framework presented by FEBEA and its implication for the cosmetics industry.
2.5% of cosmetics products sold in Europe are natural and organic. The Natural Beauty Summit Europe will present a few of the most wonderful launches and marketing successes of the year: Laverana, Santaverde and Anne Marie Börlind in Germany, and Meet The Bulldog in the United Kingdom.
These successes will be justified in an analysis of consumer expectations that Michel Gutsatz, brand strategy consultant, will present.

How do we define them (biodegradable, recyclable, refillable, etc)? Just after Grenelle de l’Environnement, the French Environment Round Table, what do the regulations provide for? etc.

With annual growth of over 20%, natural and organic products represent the most dynamic market segment of the transatlantic cosmetics industry.

USDA, NSF, Oasis, Whole Foods: the labeling process is happening, but can all these standards be harmonized? The main players will be there to shed light on this issue. As they will concerning the major challenges the industry is facing in terms of formulation, packaging and respecting sustainable development.
The obvious success of the Natural Beauty Summit Europe, organized by Beyond Beauty Paris and Organic Monitor this winter in Paris, underscores the interest of professionals from all over the world in natural cosmetics and sustainable development. Attending this series of international talks is an absolute must.
The first European summit on natural cosmetics and sustainable development, the Natural Beauty Summit Europe (NBSE) organized by Beyond Beauty Paris in partnership with Organic Monitor, was held from 29 November to 1 December 2007 at Le Méridien hotel in Paris. The market’s key players, manufacturers, designers, distributors, certifying organizations all came together to deal with questions concerning the incredible growth in this sector.
Four days of talks among an audience of French and international companies made it possible for the summit to shed significant light on subjects such as: the potential of the natural cosmetics market, formulation techniques, the constraints involved in manufacturing organic products, their packaging, the impact of sustainable development policies in the cosmetics industry, or how to be both natural and organic.
These encounters were destined to be a success, and they will certainly also prove successful at the Natural Beauty Summit America which will be held on 15/16/17 May 2008 in New York. Based on the same principal as the European model, the objective is to satisfy the expectations of the increasingly numerous companies that wish to have all the keys in hand before launching into this trend. This time in step with the American organic cosmetics market, this talks series will deal with American market specificities and will give the floor to its best representatives.
Finally, a new edition of NBS Europe is scheduled to take place in Paris on 8 and 9 October 2008.
