EFfCI Annual Conference Starts October 1, 2025

The European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients’ (EFfCI) 25th Annual Conference is set for Genoa, Italy. Set against the stunning backdrop of the city’s Porto Antico (Old Port), the conference is a landmark event for EFfCI and the entire cosmetic ingredients industry.

This year’s edition is particularly special, as EFfCI celebrates two major milestones: its 25th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the EFfCI GMP Standard. The standard is a benchmark for quality and compliance within the industry. It represents one of the Federation’s most significant achievements. The dual celebration offers an opportunity to reflect on the progress made during the two decades and look forward to exciting developments.

The conference opens on October 1, 2025. The Open Conference Day welcomes EFfCI members and external participants and stakeholders from across the cosmetics value chain. This inclusive format brings together thought leaders, policymakers, regulators and key players from the global cosmetics industry. They will discuss trends, regulatory updates, sustainability and innovation. Speakers include prominent European and international stakeholders. Their insights help shape the future of cosmetic ingredients and supply chain excellence, according to organizers.

Technical Sessions and Gala

The Conference celebrates 25 years of progress, collaboration and excellence in the cosmetic ingredients sector. The event promises to be as inspiring as the city that hosts it. The Conference will be held at the Magazzini del Cotone, a beautifully restored historical venue at the heart of Genoa’s Old Port. With its unique mix of heritage and modernity, the location perfectly encapsulates the spirit of EFfCI: grounded in tradition but always looking forward.

To mark the occasion, the Gala Dinner on October 1 will take place at the world-renowned Aquarium of Genoa—one of the largest and most spectacular aquariums in Europe. This evening promises an unforgettable experience, combining fine dining with breathtaking marine surroundings, according to organizers.
