More than 400 personal care ingredient suppliers have already confirmed their presence in Paris this April. This includes BASF Personal Care and Nutrition, Croda Europe, Ashland Industries Europe, Clariant, Lubrizol, Symrise and Evonik. Several companies will also join the exhibitor line-up for the first time: Activen, agroCO2, ARDA Natura and Bio-Gate.

Thematic test and try areas

The show’s usual thematic areas will also return in Paris. The popular Innovation Zone will profile raw materials that have hit the market within the last six months.

Also on the show floor, the in-cosmetics Sensory Bar will profile new sensorial features in formulations, including fragrances, flavours or textures. The Make-Up Bar will offer inspiration for the next generation of colour cosmetics, showcasing the innovative pigments and technologies available to enhance product shades and hues. Finally, the Sustainability Corner, sponsored by AAK, will promote the latest sustainable raw materials, and advancements helping cosmetic and personal care brands meet their sustainability goals.

Furthermore, additional dedicated zones on the show floor will bring together suppliers from the same sector. The Fragrance Zone will welcome fragrance suppliers such as Argeville, CPL Aromas, Eurofragance, Iberchem, Technicoflor and Vioryl. The Lab Zone will offer attendees a look at the latest lab equipment trends. While the Testing and Regulation Zone will offer specialists a deep dive into the latest trends from suppliers including PhD Trials Coptis Software Solutions, Delfin Technologies, Ithos Global and Proderm.

In addition, the event’s nine country pavilions will capture the trends and innovations showcased by suppliers, spanning France, UK, South Korea, Brazil, Spain, South Africa, Colombia, Peru and Tunisia.

A new hybrid approach

This year’s in-cosmetics Global will take a new hybrid approach, with a combination of in-person and digital opportunities. Designed to complement the in-person experience, the virtual event will allow attendees to continue the conversation and catch up on seminar sessions missed at the show.

This means after three days of in-person show, in-cosmetics Global will open its virtual doors to the industry from 11-22 April. Attendees will be able to discover the digital counterparts to selected in-person show features.
