Besides members of the two entities, French association Cosmetic Valley, the Italian Trade Agency and over 150 industry professionals were present at the signing. Hobson said: “ICMAD has been very active in the US since 1974, and now our focus is on collaborations, to extend our reach beyond borders. Europe, and Spain in particular, has a thriving beauty industry. This agreement will help our members reach out into new territories to grow their business.” Eaves said: “Europe and North America account for two thirds of the global beauty market. This partnership makes sense on every level. I am excited about the many opportunities it will open up for the Beauty Cluster and ICMAD, as we work together to promote a sustainable, competitive and responsible cosmetic industry.”

Enrico Zannini, Director of Cosmoprof Worldwide, said: “We are pleased that ICMAD and BCB have chosen Cosmoprof as the occasion to sign their collaboration. At Cosmoprof, we recognise that the beauty industry is global and support our partners working together around the world.”
