Returning to Paris in April, in-cosmetics Global will once again bring together brands, formulators, research and development specialists, cosmetic scientists, manufacturers and suppliers from around the world to discover the latest innovations in beauty and personal care formulation.
As leading global beauty brands sharpen their focus on efficacy, sensory appeal, wellness and sustainability, the 2026 edition will spotlight emerging trends across skincare, haircare, fragrance, colour cosmetics and nutricosmetics.
This year’s edition of the global trade show will bring together over 1,000 exhibitors and organizers expect over 14,000 visitors.
Key ingredient suppliers such as BASF, Lubrizol, Symrise, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant, Givaudan Active Beauty, Ashland, Evonik and Croda will showcase their products, alongside 130 first-time exhibitors entering the global beauty ingredients market.
New in 2026
Reflecting the industry’s shift towards holistic beauty and wellness, in-cosmetics Global will introduce the Inner Beauty Zone, bridging cosmetics and nutraceuticals as it expands into the fast-growing nutricosmetics market.
Sponsored by KSM-66 and launched in partnership with The Good Pill Co, the zone will spotlight innovations in ingestible beauty ingredients, from vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to fortified foods and functional drinks. A brand new Taste Bar will allow visitors to sample finished beauty-from-within concepts first-hand.
As far as fragrances are concerned, an expanded Fragrance Zone will feature the new Scent Bar, demonstrating how scent enhances product perception and supports premiumisation.
Furthermore, a dedicated Contract Manufacturer Zone will bring leading partners together in one focused space to facilitate new business connections.
“The beauty industry is at a pivotal point, expanding beyond traditional personal care towards beauty from within and wellness, by focusing on nutricosmetics. Brands are under pressure to move faster from concept to commercialisation, and in-cosmetics Global sits at the heart of this value chain. in-cosmetics Global supports innovation from lab to launch by connecting science, ingredients, formulation expertise and manufacturing on one global platform. Our focus for 2026 is helping businesses develop smarter products, accelerate launches and drive sustainable growth in an evolving market,” said Andy Mather, Event Director of in-cosmetics Global.
in-cosmetics Global will take place from 14-16 April at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Hall 7.
