Digital Product Passport for cosmetics

INCI declaration, allergens, cruelty-free status, sustainability certificates - the sector with almost two decades of head start on the DPP.

Industry challenges

Cosmetics has it easier - and yet harder:

Easier, because the sector has known voluntary transparency standards for years - platforms such as Cosmetic Analysis have been at it since 2008. The INCI declaration is routine and the data flow between brands and labs is well established.

Harder, because consumers are particularly sensitised in cosmetics. A wrongly declared fragrance can trigger massive public criticism. The quality requirements for DPP data are considerably higher than in other sectors.
