Annual Report - Personal Care Products Council

A Dynamic INDUSTRY at Work
2 0 0 8 Ann u a l r e p o r t
Safet y Qualit y Innovation
Based in Washington, D.C., the Personal Care Products Council is the leading national
trade association representing the $250 billion global cosmetic and personal care
products industry. Founded in 1894, the Council’s more than 600 member companies
manufacture, distribute and supply the vast majority of finished personal care products
marketed in the United States. We are an active, vocal advocate for consumer safety
and a trusted source of information about the industry and the products consumers rely
on and enjoy every day.
Promoting safety
The highest priority for personal care products companies is the safety and health of consumers of all ages
who use and enjoy our products. Our companies invest substantial resources in scientific research and safety
processes and work with thousands of expert chemists, biologists and toxicologists to evaluate the safety of
our products before they are marketed.
Advancing science
The cornerstone of our safety initiatives is the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). Established in 1976, CIR is
an independent panel of world-renowned scientific and medical experts who hail from the nation’s leading
academic and medical institutions. CIR supplements the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight
of cosmetic safety with the independent expert evaluation of ingredients used in cosmetics and personal care
products in the United States. CIR findings are reported and discussed at four public meetings each year,
and the findings are published in peer-reviewed scientific literature.
Informing the public
The Council is a trusted source of information for consumers about the global beauty and personal care
products industry. Our consumer information Web site, www.CosmeticsInfo.org, serves as an in-depth
resource for scientifically-based information about cosmetic and personal care products and ingredients.
The site contains safety information on the majority of ingredients used in our products and describes the
extensive scientific and technical processes companies go through to ensure product safety.
Harmonizing global standards
The Council is actively engaged in international efforts to align global regulatory standards for consumer
products, to eliminate trade barriers, and to ensure a level playing field for member companies while at the
same time reinforcing consumer confidence in product safety. Our aim is to achieve international regulatory
consistency and to strengthen voluntary industry safety initiatives.

Dear Personal Care Products Council Members:
2008
was a demanding year for the Council, our companies, our suppliers and our retail partners. Like all
industries, ours struggled with the ramifications of the economic downturn, with many companies
experiencing flat or falling sales, putting new product launches and plans on hold, and making painful
decisions about downsizing and restructuring. The year also brought tremendous political change and new uncertainties to the
regulatory and legislative landscape.
However, our industry is a resilient one, filled with some of the most thoughtful and imaginative business minds and creative marketers in the world. We are passionate about what we do and proud of the contribution our products make to the quality of life for all
consumers. These characteristics have been at the core of our past successes, and they are the traits that will sustain and guide us
through the current challenges.
For the past 115 years, our trade association has effectively represented the industry on scores of issues to multiple constituencies. Now
more than ever, we can work smarter and more cost-effectively through the association for the benefit and long-term health of all our
companies. Thanks to the hard work of a veteran staff and the robust participation of Council member companies in industry committees and projects, we accomplished a great deal in 2008, and we are confident we will be equally successful in 2009.
Last year, we continued to strengthen and expand important safety programs that reinforce this industry’s commitment to product
and ingredient safety. For example, we supported a number of key enhancements to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), the
independent panel that assesses the safety of ingredients, including the addition of two highly accomplished chemists to the CIR
Expert Panel. As a result, CIR dramatically increased the number of ingredients it reviewed last year.
We also continued to educate Council member companies about the importance of the Consumer Commitment Code and provided
assistance to those that requested it. This Code, which formalizes and strengthens industry safety practices, reflects our serious,
proactive and responsible approach to product safety. To date, all of our member companies represented on the Board of Directors
and many others have signed the Code. Together, their sales volume represents more than 80 percent of the U.S. market and more
than 94 percent of Council member sales. If your company is new to the Council and you have not yet adopted the Code, I urge you to
contact the Council. They will do everything they can to assist you.
Through hundreds of media interviews and through our safety Web site, CosmeticsInfo.org, we worked hard to provide consumers who
want to know more about our products and ingredients with current, helpful, easy-to-understand information. Traffic to our site increased
dramatically last year, and Council spokespersons were quoted in coverage on all of the major networks, in news magazines, top-tier daily
newspapers, online outlets, and the beauty and trade press—reinforcing our leadership as an objective voice in this important area.

“Our success together will
make for a stronger economy,
stronger companies, and
consumers who continue
to trust, rely on and delight
in our products.”
Lezlee Westine
A special note from Dan Brestle
In May 2008, we testified on all of these safety initiatives and on our industry’s
safety track record before a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce
Committee when provisions related to our industry were added into an import
safety bill at the last minute.
Because we support a strong and vigilant FDA, we continued to lobby for additional federal resources for FDA’s cosmetics program.
We also continued our important work in 2008 to advocate for the international
harmonization of regulations to help improve our business operations, reduce
costs and ensure safe products worldwide.
This year, we will continue our efforts to strengthen the various industry safety
initiatives that surpass U.S. law. We will continue our work with federal and
state governments to ensure that any policies and regulations that develop
related to our industry are sound and appropriate. We will enhance and expand
the international regulatory harmonization process we’ve initiated, bringing
representatives from industry and four governments together to work toward a
consistent approach on key issues. And we will work to enhance programs and
services for Council member companies in a financially sound manner so we can
attract new members and encourage more of you to be active in the Council.
We appreciate your continued support of the Council and highly value your
participation in our work on behalf of the industry. Our success together will make
for a stronger economy, stronger companies, and consumers who continue to trust,
rely on and delight in our products.

Personal Care Products Council
All of the Council’s work referenced in these
pages took place under the leadership of
then Council President Pam Bailey, and we
have many successes for which to thank her.
After the launch and implementation of a
number of ambitious new industry initiatives
and a very successful tenure, Pam left the
association at the end of 2008 to lead the
Grocery Manufacturers Association. We
acknowledge and thank Pam for her energy,
dedication and contributions over the last
several years and wish her well in her new
leadership role.
During the first quarter of 2009, as we conducted a search for a new CEO, we were
fortunate to have an experienced, expert staff
in place that carried on our work on multiple
fronts under the capable leadership of Mark
Pollak, an attorney and longtime Council
senior staff member. We thank Mark for his
service during this interim period.
On April 8, we were very excited to announce
the conclusion of our search and the appointment of Lezlee Westine to be the new
President and CEO of the Council. Lezlee
is an extraordinary leader and, without a
doubt, one of America’s most prominent
champions of innovation. Her association
and bipartisan political experience positions
her as the ideal leader for the Council and a
natural fit for our industry. We are excited to
have her at the helm and expect great things
from the Council under her leadership.

Promoting Safety
“The Personal Care Products Council is an active, vocal advocate for companies whose
priority is to promote consumer and product safety. Our member companies’ businesses
are driven by positive consumer experiences with cosmetics and personal care products,
and safety is essential to those positive experiences. Toward that end, our companies
work hard to uphold and often surpass stringent product safety standards and U.S. Food
and Drug Administration regulations and work with federal, state and local leaders to
promote quality and safety standards that protect the health of consumers.”
Then Council President Pam Bailey testifies before the
House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health.

Su pp o rti n g a s tro n g FDA
For nearly 40 years, our companies have invested millions of dollars in safety programs and initiatives to supplement FDA regulations. A major focus of
the Council’s lobbying efforts in 2008 was to secure an additional $1 million for FDA’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors. The Council’s Government
Affairs team met with federal legislators from various committees to discuss the importance of a properly funded FDA.
Those efforts were successful, with President Barack Obama signing an appropriations bill in early 2009 that included a $1 million increase for
FDA’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors, bringing the total budget for that office to $5.5 million. Among other things, this increase enables the office
to hire additional scientific and technical staff for the cosmetic facility and ingredient reporting system at FDA.
S tren gthen i n g Safeguards fo r Co nsumers
In April 2008, Congressman John Dingell (D-Mich.) released a draft
discussion bill on the safety of imports, known as the 2008 FDA
Globalization Act. The draft bill dealt primarily with food and drug
import safety but included several important sections specifically about
cosmetics and personal care products.
On May 14, 2008, Pam Bailey, then president and CEO of the Personal Care
Products Council, appeared before the Subcommittee on Health of
the U.S. Committee on Energy and Commerce to discuss the provisions in
the legislation related to the personal care products industry and to inform
the subcommittee about the industry’s safety practices and track record.
“Consumer safety has always been the
number one priority for our companies,
and our continued commitment to safety
has made cosmetics and personal care
products the safest category of products
regulated by FDA,” Bailey told the subcommittee. “We appreciate the opportunity to
work with the Committee to continue to
ensure the safety of consumers in America.”
At Wo rk i n th e S tates
In 2008, the Council hosted state lobby days in California, New York and Massachusetts, enabling industry leaders to meet with more than
150 legislators in those states. More than 20 legislators also toured member company manufacturing and R&D facilities in 2008 and observed
firsthand the extraordinary efforts companies go through to ensure product safety and the important role they play in their communities.
In 2008, although 22 states considered legislation potentially related to the personal care products industry, none of the bills were enacted. Provisions
in the bills were on a range of topics, including labeling, reporting and ingredient safety issues.
Last year, the Council provided a unique forum for industry and government leaders to discuss important new issues. At the Council’s
Emerging Issues Conference held in Marina Del Ray, Calif., more than 100 member company representatives and leading health and environmental leaders met to discuss California’s new green chemistry initiative, the use of nanotechnology in cosmetics and personal care products,
and other emerging issues.
In 2008, Council staff continued dialogue with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and other agencies to ensure that air quality
regulations to reduce the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in consumer products are appropriate and feasible for compliance in other
states. Council staff also worked on alternatives to product reformulation that will achieve a reduction of emissions.
Adva n ci n g th e Co nsumer Comm itment Co d e
In 2008, the Council’s legal staff hosted an educational seminar and made personal visits to member company offices to assist member companies
in their efforts to understand and adopt the industry’s Consumer Commitment Code. Implemented in 2007, the Code formalizes and strengthens
practices already in place for most companies and adds new ones. The Code goes beyond existing law by including provisions for the reporting of
serious and unexpected adverse experiences with cosmetic products to the FDA; provisions for the maintenance by manufacturers of a Safety
Information Summary on products and ingredients marketed in the United States; and provisions for companies to make available to the FDA for
inspection certain safety substantiation information.
All member companies represented on the Council’s Board of Directors and many others have signed the Code. Together, their sales volume
represents more than 94 percent of Council member sales and more than 80 percent of the U.S. market.
Adva n ci n g Co nsumer H e alth
The Council remains actively engaged with FDA, and international regulators and standard-setting bodies to develop data and information in
support of appropriate regulation of sunscreen products. In December 2008, the Council participated in a Sunscreen Workshop sponsored by the
FDA at the National Institutes of Health that provided a platform to discuss the benefits of sound scientific sunscreen regulations. The Workshop
focused on a number of issues including the public health benefits of allowing manufacturers to make claims about the role of sunscreens in
preventing skin cancer and photo damage. The Council continues engagement with the dermatology community and works to educate the media
and public on the importance of using sunscreens to prevent skin cancer and photo damage as part of an overall safe sun regimen.

Informing the public
The Council’s consumer information Web site, www.CosmeticsInfo.org, was created to give
consumers easy access to credible, scientifically-based information about cosmetics and personal
care products and the ingredients used in them. The site provides scientific and safety information
on the majority of ingredients used in personal care products today. It explains how cosmetic
products are regulated, how companies work to ensure product safety and how to read a cosmetic
label. The site also links to other authoritative bodies and scientific research. CosmeticsInfo.org
received three awards for excellence in 2008. Monthly traffic to the site in 2008 rose by
148 percent and included visitors from numerous countries, including Brazil, Singapore, Mexico,
France, Turkey, Germany, the UK, Australia, and Canada.
In December 2008, the Council hosted a luncheon in New York City for editors and writers of beauty magazines and trade publications to give
them the opportunity to speak with company CEOs and top executives about cosmetic safety and to hear from experts on the topic.
In 2008, the Council’s public affairs staff continued to serve as a major resource to mainstream print, broadcast and online journalists writing on
cosmetic and ingredient safety and other issues. Council staff participated in more than 200 interviews with major media outlets including: ABC,
CBS, NBC, and FOX stations; NBC’s Today Show; CNN Medical News; MTV; NPR; WebMD; U.S. News & World Report; Time magazine;
Associated Press; New York Times; USA Today; Washington Post; Los Angeles Times; Forbes; Times of London; Investors Business Daily;
Boston Herald; Philadelphia Inquirer; Baltimore Sun; Indianapolis Star; San Francisco Chronicle; Vogue; Allure; Cosmopolitan; O Magazine;
Elle; Real Simple magazine; Town & Country; Health magazine; Women’s Health; Prevention; Consumer Reports; Congress Daily; National
Journal; FDA Week; Inside U.S. Trade; Rose and Tan Sheets; and numerous other specialty and trade publications.

Attendees at the Council’s 2008 Science
Week in Newark, N.J., participated in
six sessions over five days on a range of
topics, including an environmental seminar
on sustainable cosmetics.
The development of a new cosmetic or personal care product involves numerous scientific disciplines and many areas of
expertise, including chemistry and biochemistry, microbiology, molecular modeling, engineering, formulation science,
packaging science and quality assurance. At the heart of the Council’s work each year is our scientific affairs department led
by a team of dedicated scientists who provide scientific leadership, communications and technical support to our member
companies and support to other trade organizations. In 2008, the science department hosted 13 seminars, workshops and
webinars and approximately 25 committee meetings on a range of topics, including quality assurance, microbiology and safety
environmental issues.
In 2008, the industry approved significant increases in financial support for enhancements to the Cosmetic Ingredient
Review (CIR) program. Founded in 1976, the CIR Expert Panel is an independent, nonprofit body of scientific and medical
experts that assesses the safety of cosmetic ingredients used in the United States. The increase in support will enable the Panel
to review more ingredients each year and add additional scientific expertise and staff support. A high-level scientific support
committee was also formed to help facilitate the scientific information needs of the Panel.
Council scientific, legal/regulatory and public affairs staff also continued to assist member companies with communications
on a range of issues, including the use of nanotechnology in sunscreens and other products, questions about natural and
organic products and certifications, and product and ingredient safety issues.

Throughout 2008, the Council’s Global Strategies team worked closely with our counterpart industry associations around the world to further
our international trade and regulatory goals. Our international work included an intense collaborative effort with the Canadian Cosmetic,
Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CCTFA) to promote a science-based approach to risk assessment of certain siloxane ingredients. Industry
representatives encouraged Canadian authorities to consider the results of ongoing international scientific studies before making a determination about any environmental risk these substances may pose. The Council played a leading role in seeking support from U.S. government trade
and industry officials to advocate on our behalf with the Canadian Government and to coordinate CCTFA/Council efforts on the legal and
scientific aspects of the issue.
In Europe, the Council worked closely with Colipa (the European trade association) to consider important issues related to the recast of the EU
Cosmetics Directive, the REACH program, and the animal testing ban that went into effect in March 2009. We also stepped up our efforts to
seek improvements in Japan’s regulatory system for quasi-drugs. Working under the auspices of the U.S.-Japan (Government) Regulatory Reform
Initiative (RRI), the Council developed positions and activities to promote transparency in the Japanese system. In September, the Council and
the Japanese industry association JCIA jointly sponsored a seminar with the U.S. Department of Commerce to focus on objectives related to
product claims and advertising regulations for cosmetics.
In Latin America, Council staff participated in the annual meeting of the regional industry association, CASIC, to discuss collaboration on
international harmonization of cosmetics regulations. Council staff also worked closely with the Mexican Association, CANIPEC, to lobby for
elimination of a requirement for Spanish language translation of INCI, which resulted in new proposed legislation in Mexico that will be
considered in 2009.
The Council also met with foreign regulators visiting the United States to promote the goals of a harmonized international regulatory system for
cosmetics that acknowledges manufacturers’ responsibility for product safety and post-market enforcement.
In 2008, the Council led industry’s year-long effort to support the International Cooperation on Cosmetics Regulations (ICCR), which held its
second meeting in Washington, D.C. in July 2008. The meeting resulted in progress on a number of key goals, including demonstration of
consumer understanding and acceptance of INCI trivial names; progress on harmonization of standards related to nanotechnology; acceptance of
harmonization of sunscreen test methods as an ICCR agenda topic; and continued work to collaborate on alternative test methods.
Representatives of the Council’s Japan Task Force met
with a delegation of officials from Japan’s Ministry of
Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), the regulatory
authority responsible for oversight of cosmetics and
quasi-drugs in Japan. The delegation traveled to
Washington, D.C. to participate in negotiations with
the U.S. Department of Commerce, under the bilateral
U.S.-Japan Regulatory Reform and Competition Policy
Initiative (RRI), in which cosmetics regulations are discussed and negotiated.
The Council’s Latin America Subcommittee hosted a
delegation from CASIC, the Latin American association
of associations, to discuss technical issues and identify
areas of mutual interest for continued collaboration.
10
Harmonizing global standards
Representing a global industry, one of the Council’s primary goals is to support our members’
access to foreign markets and to promote free and fair trade for our companies throughout the
world. We have increased our outreach to foreign industry associations, foreign regulators
and the U.S. government to advocate for harmonized regulations and free trade policies and
to resist technical barriers that would impede international sales.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review
Established in 1976, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review
(CIR) Expert Panel is an independent, nonprofit body
of scientific and medical experts who assess the safety
of cosmetic ingredients used in the United States. Over
the past year, the Council continued its work with CIR
leadership to strengthen and enhance this important
program by enabling it to increase the number of
ingredients it reviews each year, increase transparency,
improve communications capabilities for reporting CIR
findings, and add additional scientific and staff expertise.
In 2008, the CIR Expert Panel completed a total of 21 safety assessments that encompassed
a total of 200 ingredients. Membership of the CIR Steering Committee was expanded to
include a consumer representative from the Consumer Federation of America. The CIR
Expert Panel also added two new distinguished experts who were selected from among
seven outstanding nominees from the American Cancer Society, the American Chemistry
Society and others. The new Panel members are Dr. Ron Hill, a medicinal chemist from the
University of Louisiana at Monroe, and Dr. Dan Liebler, Professor of Biochemistry,
Pharmacology and Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University.
D is tri buti o n o f Co n clusi o ns
From 1976 through the end of 2008, the CIR Expert Panel completed 1,468 ingredient
safety assessments. Certain ingredients have determinations that fit into more than one
category. For example, an ingredient may be unsafe for use in leave-on products, but safe for
use in other products.
The Panel found 918 ingredients to be “safe as used” and 416 ingredients “safe with certain
limitations” related to concentration or product type. It determined there were insufficient
data available to make a safety determination for 125 ingredients. Only nine ingredients were
found to be unsafe for use in cosmetic products. No ingredients have been found to be unsafe
since 1999.

Look Good
…Feel Better
®
For nearly 20 years, the
Personal Care Products Council
Foundation’s Look Good…Feel
Better (LGFB) program has
helped cancer patients cope
with the appearance-related
side effects of treatment.
Council Chairman Dan Brestle of the Estee Lauder Companies talks with Emily Rubin, a participant in a Look Good…Feel Better workshop in New York City.
Courage, confidence, control, community, caring—ask any woman who has lived with cancer and she will likely find meaning in these words.
They are also integral to Look Good…Feel Better®, a national public service program created in 1989 to help cancer patients cope with the
appearance-related changes of cancer treatment. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the program has helped 650,000 women, men and
teens with cancer since it began, and serves an estimated 50,000 cancer patients each year. With the generous financial support of the cosmetic
and personal care products industry, and the caring support of more than 14,000 volunteers, Look Good…Feel Better offered 8,700 free
workshops in more than 2,500 facilities nationwide in 2008. In addition, patients were served through self-help materials, one-on-one
consultations, and via the Web at www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org. Internationally, through 18 affiliates on six continents, Look Good…Feel
Better served more than 100,000 women with cancer in 2008 and has served more than one million since the program began.
H o pe is Be autifu l
In 2009, Look Good…Feel Better celebrates its 20th anniversary with the yearlong “Hope is Beautiful” campaign, unfolding a series of activities
that tell the story of how Look Good…Feel Better inspires hope, courage and confidence during a very difficult time. The campaign kicked off in
January 2009 with the release of a new workshop video, underwritten by the Avon Foundation, shown in every group program and also available
on www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org and on YouTube. In February, the new “Hope is Beautiful” public service advertising (PSA) campaign was
released, and in late February at the Council’s Annual Meeting, Look Good…Feel Better hosted a breakfast focusing on the value of LGFB
through the eyes of health care providers, industry and three caring, 20-year volunteers who were honored for their service.
