The CTPA Annual Report 2025 highlights a landmark year for the UK cosmetics and personal care industry as the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) celebrated its 80th anniversary. The report showcases how the organisation strengthened its role as a leading voice for the sector, supporting innovation, sustainability and consumer trust during a period of political and regulatory change.
A major theme throughout the report is advocacy. With the UK undergoing a General Election year, CTPA increased engagement with government and policymakers through initiatives such as its first industry manifesto and the “CTPA Agenda for Government.” These efforts aimed to ensure the cosmetics and personal care sector remained recognised as an important contributor to the UK economy, trade and consumer wellbeing.
The report also emphasises sustainability and scientific expertise. CTPA continued helping member companies navigate evolving regulations around product safety, environmental impact and responsible innovation. The association reinforced its commitment to evidence-based policy and collaboration with stakeholders across industry, academia and government. This reflects CTPA’s broader mission to support sustainable growth while maintaining high levels of consumer confidence in cosmetic products. Another key focus is industry support. Representing more than 200 member companies ranging from SMEs to global brands, CTPA provided guidance on legal compliance, product development and market changes. The report demonstrates how the organisation acts as both a technical authority and an advocate for businesses operating within a highly regulated sector.
Overall, the CTPA Annual Report 2025 presents an organisation looking both backwards and forward — celebrating eight decades of influence while preparing the cosmetics and personal care industry for future challenges in regulation, sustainability and consumer expectations.
