Baar (September 1, 2026) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, will host a complimentary webinar, ‘PFAS, Endocrine Disruptors and Biodegradability: New Challenges for the Cosmetics Industry’, on September 23, 2026.

Evolving regulations, emerging scientific concerns and growing sustainability expectations are reshaping the cosmetics industry. Manufacturers must navigate changing requirements for substances of concern such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), while addressing growing scrutiny of endocrine-disrupting properties and environmental performance.

In this environment, reliable testing strategies and scientifically robust assessment methods play a critical role in supporting product safety, compliance and informed decision-making. Generating high-quality data can help organizations respond to regulatory developments, reduce development risks and support more informed product development and market access decisions.

In this webinar, SGS experts will examine three key topics impacting the cosmetics industry: PFAS, endocrine disruptors and biodegradability. The session will cover current regulatory developments, analytical solutions for PFAS testing, challenges associated with endocrine disruptor assessment, including the EASZY test for detecting endocrine activity, and biodegradability testing strategies for evaluating environmental performance, including polymers and polymer microparticles.

With practical scientific insights and real-world testing considerations, the webinar will give attendees a clear understanding of the tools and approaches available to support product safety assessments, regulatory compliance and environmental performance evaluation.

Taking place on September 23, 2026, at 4:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time), the webinar is aimed at professionals across the cosmetics industry, particularly those working in R&D, manufacturing, quality, sustainability, regulatory affairs and product development.

Stakeholders are encouraged to register now to secure their place at this complimentary webinar. [https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5460992/1611BF1CB2FE6980CD2B8D10D043A725?partnerref=PR]
