What Associação Brasileira da Indústria de Higiene Pessoal, Perfumaria e Cosméticos does

ABIHPEC (Associação Brasileira da Indústria de Higiene Pessoal, Perfumaria e Cosméticos) is a Brazilian non-profit civil association founded in March 1995 that represents and supports the personal hygiene, perfumery, and cosmetics industry nationally. The organization traces its origins to SIPATESP, established in 1941 as a regional trade union in São Paulo state. Headquartered in São Paulo (Bela Vista district), ABIHPEC serves member companies of all sizes and regions across Brazil through a portfolio of services spanning regulatory advocacy at state, federal, and municipal government levels, legislation and regulation monitoring, market intelligence and research publications, sustainability and reverse logistics programs, internationalization support, innovation awards, and workforce training. The association generates revenue primarily through membership fees paid by member companies on a recurring subscription basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

ABIHPEC operates an ecosystem of programs and sub-brands rather than a conventional commercial product line. Key programs include: Beautycare Brazil (international trade promotion taking Brazilian companies to international trade shows such as BeautyWorld Middle East Dubai, with participant exports reaching US$363.4 million in 2025), Instituto ABIHPEC (an autonomous non-profit civil association channeling social projects focused on self-esteem and inclusion), Programa Mãos Pro Futuro (a reverse logistics and recycling program for personal care packaging, celebrating 20 years of operations), Prêmio Inovação ABIHPEC (innovation awards), Programa de Qualificação de Fornecedores (supplier qualification), and Summit Inovação ABIHPEC (an annual innovation summit). The association also partners with ESPM (Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing) to deliver a postgraduate program in Business Management and Innovation in Beauty, and with INPI (Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial) to combat counterfeiting and strengthen intellectual property protection in the sector. Governance is provided by a Deliberative Council (2025-2027 mandate) under President Artur Noemio Grynbaum and Vice-President Juliana Arantes Durazzo Marra, with day-to-day executive leadership held by President-Executive Luiz Carlos Dutra, who succeeded founding leader João Carlos Basílio in August 2024.
