In this paper, ‘cosmetics’ refers to daily-use chemical products intended to be applied externally to parts of the human body—such as skin, hair, nails and lips—by rubbing, spraying or other similar ways for the purposes of cleansing, protecting, beautifying or grooming.1 They are used by individuals to improve both appearance and well-being. Although once thought of as luxury products, most people now consider cosmetics daily necessities. Thus, creating a sustainable cosmetics industry will help to improve people’s quality of living.

The Cosmetics Working Group consists of more than
70 members, including a large number of internationally
well-known cosmetics brands, with a diverse range

industry has also acted as a catalyst for other related
industries, such as fine chemicals, packaging, logistics
and advertising.
