At Coty Inc., we believe innovation is more than just invention. It's a commitment to excel. It's a passion to develop compelling ideas. It's a burning curiosity to achieve breakthrough thinking.

Coty's research and development centers in New Jersey, Monaco and Spain are focused not only on where beauty technology is going today, but where we can take it tomorrow. It is precisely this kind of thinking that has reshaped industry standards, and in some instances, defined its success.

Our global pool of over 100 experts has cultivated some of the most innovative ideas in beauty history. With 500+ patent registrations worldwide, our technologically advanced formulas and award-winning products continue to fuel Coty's growth. Lycra(R)* Lasting Finish Nail Lacquer and enhanced UVA-protection with RPF (Radical Protection Factor) complex are examples of groundbreaking initiatives. The speed at which our new products are developed and come to market is another.

Today, our creative ecosystem is populated by strategic partnerships with universities as well as private and public research institutes the world over. It's how we stay at the forefront of beauty research and development, and why we attract some of the best scientific and research minds in the business.

*In 2003, Coty entered into a licensing agreement with INVISTA (formerly known as DuPont) to utilize the Lycra(R) brand in cosmetic applications.
