The lines between skincare and clothing are blurring fast.

But while everyone is talking about cosmetotextiles, very few understand where the real innovation is happening and who’s driving it.

For R&D heads and innovation managers, missing these signals could mean falling behind competitors who are already filing patents, building prototypes, and scaling up production.

GreyB’s latest industry report, The State of Cosmetotextiles, pulls back the curtain on this rapidly emerging sector.

Whether you’re in textiles or cosmetics, this is the first step to seeing the full innovation landscape, before your competitors do.

What’s in the report?

Backed by data from patents, research, and product testing, it gives your team a deep dive into what’s working, what’s not, and where opportunity lies.
