The obligations land on a staggered timetable, and the one most beauty marketing teams feel first is disclosure. If a campaign image, video or caption was generated, someone has to say so, in a way a regulator would accept.
Interviews. The people running brands, retailers and distributors, in their own words.
What we saw at the fairs and in the channels, and whether it is a shift or a season.
Regulation, labelling and claims. What changed, when it bites, what to do.
Technology, biotech and formulation science, without the hype.
Deals, funding, distribution and expansion. Who paid what, and why it matters.
Two regions, covered properly, instead of everywhere covered thinly.
Regulation sets the pace here, so we read it before it lands. EU labelling, claims and the AI Act, plus the retailers and distributors deciding what reaches a shelf.
Growth, fragrance and travel retail. We report from Beautyworld Middle East and follow the regional houses and buyers who rarely get asked what they think.
Written for the people who have to act on it: brand owners, distributors, regulatory leads and buyers across Europe and the Middle East.
