Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY)(Paris: COTY), one of the world’s largest beauty companies with a portfolio of iconic brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, skin and body care, proudly announces the launch of its first Scientific Advisory Board, following the inaugural meeting on September 24, 2024.

The Advisory Board brings together globally renowned scientific experts from diverse technical disciplines, selected for their unique expertise and contribution to cutting-edge research. The Board will convene twice a year to inform and inspire breakthrough innovations within Coty’s R&D specialists, and therefore strengthen Coty’s efforts to shape the future of skincare.

The first meeting, held at Coty’s Skincare Research & Innovation Center of Excellence in Monaco, brought together these leading scientists to discuss the current themes in skin health and skin repair. The experts provided valuable insights and feedback that will continue to shape Coty’s R&D initiatives and product innovation strategies across all its skincare brands.

Sue Nabi, CEO of Coty, said: “This year marks our 120th anniversary as pioneers in the beauty industry, and I’m honored that such acclaimed scientific minds have agreed to come together to help define the future of Coty skincare as part of our Scientific Advisory Board. Each member has been carefully selected because they are at the forefront of their respective disciplines. Their ongoing insights will play a pivotal role as we continue to collaborate and drive skincare innovation forward for the benefit of all our consumers.”

The Scientific Advisory Board will serve as a forum for the exchange of cutting-edge ideas, innovative thinking, and rigorous challenge. In line with Coty’s commitment to co-creation, the board will align the latest science with emerging trends and consumer needs, which will enhance Coty’s leading position in skin science.

Appropriately, the inaugural meeting of the Scientific Advisory Board took place at Coty’s Center of Excellence in Monaco, where one of the company’s flagship skincare brands was founded 70 years ago.
