This collection includes the abstracts presented at the theoretical practical course “Innovative approaches in cosmetics in compliance with the European regulation” (Genoa, 22-23 June 2022). The course aims to provide an update on alternative methods to animal experimentation, in the context of risk assessment in the European cosmetology field, based on the new regulations establishing the total ban on animal experimentation for cosmetic purposes (EC Regulation No. 1223/2009). Such regulation improves the safety of cosmetic products in the EU by strengthening safety requirements, simplifies procedures for companies and competent authorities in the sector, updates the rules to take into account the latest technological developments such as the use of nanomaterials, and keeps the ban on animal testing in place. From this point of view, it is essential to offer the scientific basis of these regulations and updated information to students of scientific degrees, to contribute to the training of technicians/cosmetic industry, with interest to eco-sustainability. The course promotes the interdisciplinary collaboration between biologists, chemists and ecologists. The course has been organized by Centro3R, Interuniversity Center for the Promotion of the 3Rs Principles in Teaching and Research.
