Thanks to the collaboration of the entire industry, our event in June will be a key moment for our sector".

"Cosmetica Italia is working together with its historic partner, BolognaFiere Cosmoprof, sharing the decision to postpone the fair to ensure maximum health and safety conditions for operators and visitors to the event” – says Renato Ancorotti, President of Cosmetica Italia - Italian association of cosmetic companies. – “Our goal is to be side by side on the occasion of the new appointment, to reconfirm the excellence of the Italian cosmetic industry, recognized all over the world and reacting positively even in contexts of uncertainty."
