   COUNCIL
                     AT A GLANCE

    Since 1894, the Personal Care Products Council
    (PCPC) has served as the leading national trade
    association representing the most trusted and
    beloved brands in beauty and personal care.

    Headquartered in Washington, D.C., PCPC
    advocates on behalf of 600 member companies
    to promote an effective and pragmatic regulatory
    environment that enables companies to
    manufacture, distribute and supply safe, innovative
    products to families around the world who trust
    and enjoy them every day. Sound science is
    the foundation for everything we do.

    We continually share the industry’s voice and
    advocate for its perspective, and engage
    a variety of stakeholders — policymakers,
    regulators, nongovernmental organizations
    (NGOs), retail partners and the news media —
    to educate about the complexity and scientific
    sophistication behind our products and the
    importance of harmonizing global regulation
    of our industry.

    We stand united and resolute with our members
    in our commitment to consumer and product
    safety, quality and innovation.

                               We are living in very
                              challenging times, but
                          the last year has taught us that
                           there are great opportunities
                            to come together and seek
                               meaningful solutions.
                            In light of the global pandemic and our country’s civil unrest, we have taken
                                 a thoughtful look inward and adjusted professionally to a new norm.
                            We’ve demonstrated our industry’s resiliency and generosity in the process.
                            The beauty and personal care products industry will continue to be an agent
                                for change and a force for good. Together, we will work in partnership
                               with key stakeholders to create a more beautiful and sustainable world.
