CFIC 2026

An original concept designed for the entire value chain


A showcase on a human scale, the CFIC is a unique event,
100% tailor-made for the cosmetics industry!

The result of GL events' close collaboration with COSMED, CFIC is the only event in the industry to offer the entire value chain. It  brings together all company departments, from managers, R&D, purchasing and industrial directors to marketers, to discuss environmental innovations in 4 areas of the value chain: ingredients with high environmental and social added value, industrial supplies and equipment, new-generation solutions and services, packaging and packaging of the future. 

 Whether it's a question of complying with current or forthcoming regulations, or anticipating consumer expectations, CFIC enables companies to identify all the solutions they need to adapt their production facilities, product formulations or packaging... 

4 themes 

will allow you to decipher the exhibitors' offer, existing solutions and ideas for a more responsible cosmetics industry
