International cooperation – a modern vaccine for the restoration and development of the cosmetics industry!

Each of the economy world industries and businesses today undergoing significant changes and the beauty industry is not an exception…

In today’s crisis, the race “pandemic vs cosmetics industry” is increasingly difficult.

Cosmetics and personal care companies strive to provide consumers around the world with safe and effective products in such vulnerable times. However, it is a fact, that personal hygiene products are first and foremost important for human health and essential for maintaining daily hygiene as a protection against the virus.
Therefore, international cooperation is now a preamble to the rehabilitation of the modern cosmetics business. APCU is an equal member of the International Association Collaboration (IAC), which is already taking some steps, stating the need to support perfume and cosmetics production at the govern level and the need for close cooperation with the state regulatory apparatus.

Initiatives of the international industry community in Ukraine are implemented by the work of the APCU. Thanks to APCU our domestic manufacturer has an opportunity to speak in the international arena and to be heard. The Association strives to provide up-to-date information and qualified support to international cosmetic associations, foreign manufacturers, and Ukrainian consumers.

Among issues stated by the IAC:
Modern requirements for technical regulation in cosmetic production;
The problem of some government bans on equipment that could help stop COVID-19, its export;
Priority of detergents and disinfectants;
Update of raw material and packaging supply chains;
Formation among the population of a new culture of consumption in matters of personal hygiene
and many others

According to a global today’s virus, the importance of personal care products for human health cannot be denied. Therefore, along with international associations, APCU supports all interstate sectoral initiatives and advocates for the status of the cosmetics industry as a “life-sustaining” and the inclusion in the state list of critical infrastructure for manufacturers of cosmetics and personal care products.

In global cooperation, we are ready for new challenges, ready to defend and implement!
