The AI Act Changed On 27 July. Beauty's Deadline Did Not.

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.

How we file things

Five desks, and nothing else

In the spotlight

Interviews. The people running brands, retailers and distributors, in their own words.

Trend watch

What we saw at the fairs and in the channels, and whether it is a shift or a season.

The fine print

Regulation, labelling and claims. What changed, when it bites, what to do.

Innovation

Technology, biotech and formulation science, without the hype.

Money moves

Deals, funding, distribution and expansion. Who paid what, and why it matters.

Where we look

Two regions, covered properly, instead of everywhere covered thinly.

Europe

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.

The Middle East

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.

The briefing

One email. What changed, and what it means for your brand.

Written for the people who have to act on it: brand owners, distributors, regulatory leads and buyers across Europe and the Middle East.
