The winners of the first-ever Cosmetics Business Innovation Awards (CBIAs) have been revealed, celebrating the outstanding developments and achievements of companies across the global cosmetics and personal care supply chain.

The B2B-focused awards programme spotlights the very best in ingredients, packaging, contract manufacturing, technology, testing, regulatory and compliance.

Innospec, and their efforts on alternatives to animal testing, was named the winner of the Regulatory & Compliance Excellence category by judge Emma Meredith, recognising its novel use of human-focussed science to assess the safety and efficacy of cosmetic ingredients.

Meredith praised Innospec’s commitment to advancing regulatory acceptance of non-animal alternative methodologies, helping to shape and maintain robust, forward-looking regulatory frameworks that can benefit the industry in the long term.

Their work, which is a critical priority for the cosmetics industry, could pave the way for meaningful change not only among regulatory agencies, but also policymakers, competitors and the wider industry, ensuring that the ‘last resort’ principle on animal testing is upheld.
