Registration is now open for the Clean & Care Forum 2026, one of the key industry events for the cosmetics and detergents sector. The Forum is organised by the Polish Association of Cosmetic and Detergent Industry and will take place on 23 June 2026 in Warsaw, bringing together representatives of industry, public administration and leading regulatory and scientific experts.
A special guest of the 2026 edition will be Piotr Müller, Member of the European Parliament and IMCO Committee member, rapporteur of Omnibus VI, who will present perspectives on regulatory simplification and its practical relevance for businesses operating within the European Union.
Guided by the theme “Industry 2026+ | Cosmetics and Detergents: Law, Trends and New Standards”, the event will focus on the most significant regulatory developments shaping the European cosmetics and detergents sector, as well as their practical implications for companies operating in an increasingly complex EU compliance environment.
A key objective of the Forum is to support a more transparent and predictable regulatory framework across the European Union — one that enables innovation, strengthens competitiveness, and reflects the realities of companies of all sizes operating in different Member States.
The programme will address the most relevant challenges for the sector, including
· Upcoming changes in EU and nationally implemented regulatory requirements affecting the cosmetics and detergents industries
· Chemical safety and product compliance, including classification, hazardous substances, and packaging safety considerations
· Sustainability, innovation, and the growing importance of responsible communication and anti-greenwashing practices
The Forum will feature a high-level line-up of speakers representing both European industry organisations and national authorities and decision makers. Among the speakers are representatives of Cosmetics Europe, the European Aerosol Federation (FEA), and the International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products (AISE), alongside key institutions, including the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products (URPL), the Bureau for Chemical Substances, and the State Sanitary Inspection.
This combination of European and national expertise will provide participants with a comprehensive perspective on regulatory developments and their practical implementation across EU markets, including Poland.
The Clean & Care Forum serves as a key platform for dialogue between industry and regulators at both national and European level, supporting knowledge exchange and a better understanding of how regulatory changes translate into day-to-day business operations across the EU.
The organisers will provide simultaneous interpretation between Polish and English, ensuring full accessibility for international guests and participants.
Industry professionals from across Europe are warmly invited to take part in the Clean & Care Forum 2026 and join the discussion on the future of the cosmetics and detergents sector in the European Union.
