A “busy” month!

Full Beauty Suppliers features important exclusive insights as the first half of 2026 comes to a close! Don’t miss the interviews with Filippo Manucci, Managing Director of Fiabilia, and Tomas Espinosa, CEO of Schwan Cosmetics… The performance of this French association, Cosmed, is incredible. With over a thousand members, it has become, in twenty-five years, the largest professional cosmetics organization in France and even in Europe. The total revenue of its members now amounts to 5.5 billion euros… Congratulations to Pennelli Faro, Art Cosmetics, and ItiT Cosmetics for their dynamism and capacity for innovation. Also not to be missed is Daniel Saclier’s analysis, which explains that for years, the packaging sector has primarily innovated in storytelling, textures, or packaging designs. Now, innovation is becoming systemic: it encompasses the product, usage, technology, data, and environmental impact. The real change is here, he insists. Beauty is entering an era of “beauty tech” and “beauty circularity.” The beauty luxury sector is likely at a turning point comparable to the one the automotive industry experienced with the advent of electric vehicles: everyone knows the traditional model is reaching its limits, but no one has fully mastered the new paradigm yet. He concludes: “The real risk is innovation becoming defensive. The biggest ‘low point’ might be that innovation is no longer guided by desire or vision... but solely by constraint. The danger for the sector would be innovation that is too regulatory, too technical, too rational, and less emotional. Yet beauty remains, above all, an industry of dreams. The challenge in the coming years will therefore be to successfully transform constraints into new forms of desirability. ”
