Atelier Rebul calls AI another colleague. BBODY calls faking a result a scam. Between them sit the founders letting AI think but never finish. Days before the EU AI Act's transparency rules apply, the spread is the story.
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.
AI in beauty. What it is actually good at, where it is oversold, and what has to be disclosed.
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.
The Beauty Insider is a print edition first and a website second. Founder interviews, regulation explained in plain English, and the trade fair intelligence that never makes it online. Read at the shows, on the stands, and in the offices that matter.
