The Canadian Cosmetic Cluster was created in 2017 with one simple goal in mind to provide access to innovation to cosmetic companies across the supply chain and to help businesses grow. The Canadian Cosmetic Cluster provides services that support cosmetic companies across the supply chain – packaging, ingredients, brands, academics and manufacturing. The Cluster is currently based in Toronto Canada – the gateway to North America.
The purpose of this Cosmetic Cluster is to share resources, ideas and most importantly knowledge. This Cluster provides services that will help companies to succeed in the cosmetic market. The Canadian Cosmetic Cluster is part of the Global Cosmetic Cluster, which is a network that provides connections in 15 countries and 25 regions around the world.
The Canadian Cosmetic Cluster creates different projects that help acerbate the growth of companies. One of these project was the ChemConnect and the ChemBox. The ChemBox tracked ingredient sampling that helps companies connect to suppliers and cosmetic product developers/labs.

Beauty Business School
This accelerated program was developed for individuals looking to fast-track their business brand but who lack experience in the fast-paced cosmetic industry. We will work with you individually to provide you with an essential plan to succeed. In the end, you can present your innovation during one of our innovations days where you can showcase it to various industry members. After completing this program, you will have your formulations sharpened, packaging sourced, ingredients ordered and branding updated.
