About the Exhibition The B2B event 
for sustainable cosmetics

A unique event to accelerate the environmental transition of the cosmetics industry. Born from a close collaboration between GL events and COSMED, CFIC is the only event in the sector to offer a global solution covering the entire value chain and to bring together business decision-makers – executives, R&D directors, purchasing, manufacturers, marketing, CSR managers – around environmental innovations.

A STRONG & DIFFERENTIATING POSITIONING

✅ A trade show 100% dedicated to environmental transition: low carbon, circular economy, biodiversity, water preservation, PFAS… 

✅ Concrete solutions for the entire value chain: ingredients with high environmental and social added value, industrial supplies and equipment, new generation solutions & services, future packaging & wrapping.

AN ECOSYSTEM OF EXPERTS COMMITTED TO TRANSFORMING THE SECTOR

CFIC relies on a strong network of strategic partners to accelerate the environmental transition of cosmetics. 
From the very beginning, COSMED has been a key expert working alongside CFIC to provide concrete answers on both regulatory and technical levels. 
 Alongside it, major players such as Cosmebio, Innov’Alliance, NutriMarketing, Geppia… 
30 committed partners contribute to making CFIC a unique event for identifying concrete and sustainable solutions. 

AT THE HEART OF TWO 
TERRITORIES OF EXCELLENCE

CFIC alternates between Orléans and Marseille, two strategic destinations for the cosmetics industry. This choice reflects our desire to cover the territory and be as close as possible to manufacturers, by creating opportunities for meetings and exchanges where the industry is most dynamic.

✅2026, Marseille: Mediterranean gateway, biodiversity and naturalness. 
✅2027, Orléans: heart of Cosmetic Valley, industrial and innovation hub.
 
Each edition is rooted in its territory to highlight its specificities and strengthen local synergies.

FOR A MORE RESPONSIBLE INDUSTRY

Climate challenges, resource preservation, biodiversity, and responsibility towards future generations necessitate a profound transformation of industrial models. CFIC supports this change by offering concrete solutions to reduce environmental impact, anticipate regulations, and meet consumer expectations. To guide this transition, the exhibition is structured around 4 key themes:

FROM SOIL TO FINISHED PRODUCT:UPSTREAM AT THE HEART OF SUSTAINABLE COSMETICS

In 2026, CFIC is further opening up to the upstream sector to strengthen naturalness and responsible sourcing. Why? Because sustainability starts with raw materials. The choices made upstream influence the quality of formulations, the environmental footprint, and regulatory compliance. Integrating the upstream sector means offering manufacturers a complete vision and concrete solutions for sustainable cosmetics, from soil to finished product. During the 2 days of the exhibition, you can discuss and delve deeper into the subject through conferences, meetings at the COFARMING pavilion, or during Cosm’Agri on June 9.
CFIC, the industry's new meeting place, enabled the 2,300 visitors to the Orléans 2024 event to find concrete solutions to meet these commitments  - 65% of visitors found the solutions they were looking for at the show!
