In 2020, Europe reached 76.7 billion people. EUR of cosmetics sales in the retail market and according to this indicator is the largest market for cosmetic products in the world. 500 million European consumers use cosmetics and personal care products every day to protect their health and improve their well-being.

The object of the study is to improve production processes in the cosmetics sector. The purpose of the article is to identify the main problems of production processes in the cosmetics sector and to create a model for improving production processes. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are set: perform an analysis of scientific literature related to the improvement of the production process of the cosmetics sector; to choose appropriate research methods that will help identify the problems of improving production processes in the cosmetics sector; to present a model for improving cosmetic product manufacturing processes in cosmetic manufacturing companies. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, observation method, expert assessment.
