ICCS is delighted to welcome the China Association of Fragrance, Flavour and Cosmetic Industries (CAFFCI) as a member of ICCS. This milestone reflects the strong and growing commitment shared by ICCS and CAFFCI to advancing animal-free safety assessment through scientific collaboration, innovation, and international partnership. Building on the ICCS–CAFFCI Memorandum of Understanding, our organizations are already working together to expand access to ICCS Best Practice Guidance documents within China, supporting the broader adoption of modern, science-based, animal-free approaches to cosmetic and personal care product safety assessment. We are honored to deepen our collaboration with CAFFCI and look forward to the continued progress that can be achieved together in strengthening global best practices and advancing the future of animal-free safety science.
We’re excited to share that the ICCS 2025 Annual Report is now available, highlighting a year of strong momentum driven by the expertise, engagement, and collaboration of our global membership. In 2025, ICCS members across industry, alongside partner organizations and trade and research associations, continued advancing animal-free safety science through practical tools, scientific outputs, and meaningful engagement with the regulatory community. What stands out most is the scale of this collective effort, turning innovation into real-world frameworks and global dialogue that support regulatory progress. Read the full report
