Beauty and personal care is a broad and diverse sector, spanning services, retail, manufacturing, science and innovation, and employing people in communities across the UK. It is an industry built on skill, entrepreneurship and human connection, and one that plays an important role in confidence and wellbeing.

Over the past year, it has become even clearer how important it is for the sector to come together and speak with a strong, collective voice. That is the mission of the British Beauty Council, uniting the industry and wider beauty community to unlock the full potential and value of people and businesses across the spectrum of British beauty. We do this by advocating for effective policy, raising professional standards and supporting sustainable, long-term growth.

Each month in 2025 has brought with it a new report, a record breaking event, an industry-defining campaign or a key political breakthrough.
