Abstract New Breeding Techniques (NBTs), such as CRISPR-Cas9, TALENs, and ODM, are reshaping the way we develop plant-based products for food cosmetic applications by allowing more precise efficient trait improvements. However, despite their scientific potential, global acceptance regulation of NBT-derived continue to vary widely. This study provides a comparative analysis public perceptions across six countries—Spain, France, China, Japan, Brazil, United States—focusing on consumer attitudes toward NBT use in skincare products. Based survey data from 724 participants, found clear regional differences familiarity, risk perception, NBTs. Participants China Japan showed relatively higher awareness openness these technologies. In contrast, respondents Spain France were skeptical, especially when it came environmental risks. opinions evenly split, reflecting ongoing national discussions. Despite U.S. having product-based regulatory framework, trust safety willingness consume goods was notably low. One most consistent findings strong support mandatory labeling all countries, signaling shared expectation transparency. Claims framing “green” or sustainable received limited agreement, particularly Western countries. Statistical analyses confirmed significant response patterns, although average scores did not significantly. These results point importance considering social cultural context development communication innovations. While is gradually increasing, broader adoption will depend transparent regulation, locally adapted strategies, genuine engagement. Building through clear, evidence-based messaging—and respecting values concerns—will be essential ensuring responsible widely accepted genome-edited
