Cosmetics
As customers become more selective about sustainably developed products, the cosmetics industry is expanding its environmental approach to all phases of their products’ life cycle.

Notably, production facilities are the most concerned about controlling their discharges and their impact on the environment.
Multi-formulation sites and custom-order laboratories or chains focused on conditioning — the resulting effluents are extremely specific to the product types:
- Creams, emulsions, skin lotions and gels
- Powders for makeup and personal hygiene
- Bath and shower products, such as salts, foams, oils, and gels
- Hair dyes, hairstyling products, lotions, and hairsprays
- Personal hygiene products like soaps, deodorants, and antiperspirants
- Perfumes and eaux de toilette
