The Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA) is systematically advancing the Thai cosmetics industry by strengthening collaboration among key stakeholders from the public sector, private sector, academia, and research communities. A seminar entitled “Value Creation of Innovative Thai Health Products: Cosmetics” was organized from 11–12 February 2026 at Centara Life Government Complex Hotel & Convention Centre, Chaeng Watthana, Nonthaburi Province, under the theme “Innovation-Driven Beauty Economy: Strategies for Value Creation in Thai Cosmetics through Innovation.” The opening ceremony was presided over by Dr. Rungruthai Muanprasitporn, Deputy Secretary-General of the Thai FDA

The seminar aimed to integrate research, innovation, and safety standards in order to enhance the capacity of Thai entrepreneurs to develop high-quality, safe, and globally competitive cosmetic products. It also sought to foster an innovation ecosystem conducive to the sustainable growth of Thailand’s beauty industry.
