Paris, France Where

Applicants pick one of three challenges rather than entering a single competition: Digital, Ecological Transition, and Performance or Customisation. That choice is the entry decision, since a product will usually fit only one of them.

All three are aimed at companies working in the cosmetics industry, and all three are staged at Cosmetic 360, held on 14 and 15 October 2026 at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris.

Winning a challenge brings recognition and a showcase at the event. No funding is attached and no equity is taken. Applications closed on 31 July 2026 and no call has been published for 2027.
