We are Stanpa. The Spanish Cosmetics, Toiletry and Perfumery Association. Founded in 1952, we currently have 300 member companies, that represents more than 400 entities that manufacture and distribute perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products in Spain. We represent more than 90% of the whole sector.

The Stanpa Foundation is a non-profit organisation that supports people with cancer, helping them to restore their self-image, recover their self-esteem and carry on their fight against the disease with greater confidence, through the implementation in Spain of the international programme “Look Good, Feel Better”, and now also with its Stanpa MEN Foundation and Generation Z support programmes.

The Academy of Perfume Foundation is an institution created in 2017 as the next step in the work of the Academy of Perfume since it began in 2007, enhancing the Spanish market’s interest and engagement with the world of fragrances. Our work over these years has enabled us to establish important relationships with public and private entities, which find their common ground in a shared passion for perfume.

Stanpa redoubles its commitment to open innovation and welcomes the new entity, Feeling Innovation by Stanpa. An evolution of the commitment acquired by Stanpa in November 2019 and ratified by the Ministry of Industry. The Spanish cosmetics sector is the consumer sector that invests the most in R&D&I. It continuously invests 3.4% or, in other words, 307 million euros invested in R&D&I each year. The Spanish perfume and cosmetics industry is the fifth largest market in the EU, with almost 8,200 million euros of consumption and the world’s second largest exporter of perfumes.
