Cosmeticon Year 3: CCIP Launches One-Day Intensive on Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment

The Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines (CCIP) is set to host Cosmeticon Year 3, a flagship event dedicated to cosmetic product safety assessment.

Happening on August 28, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at F1 Hotel in Bonifacio Global City, this one-day intensive is designed to provide beauty industry professionals with practical and up-to-date insights on regulatory compliance and safety evaluation.

This year's program is focused entirely on product safety assessment in cosmetics, a vital area that underpins consumer trust, brand credibility, and regulatory compliance in an increasingly competitive and health-conscious market.

Why This Year’s Format Matters

To meet the demands of a fast-paced industry, CCIP has streamlined the event from a two-day schedule to a single, information-rich session. This format ensures attendees receive in-depth education while minimizing time away from operations. The redesigned program is perfect for professionals seeking maximum value in one efficient day.

Expert Sessions and Key Topics

Cosmeticon Year 3 will feature respected speakers from regulatory bodies and global industry organizations. Each session is curated to help participants better understand the frameworks, updates, and scientific principles driving cosmetic safety and regulation in the Philippines and across the ASEAN region.

Highlights of the speaker lineup include:

Atty. Paolo S. Teston, Director General of the FDA, presenting on Strengthening Regulatory Functions, Data-Driven Governance, and Inter-agency Collaboration
