Welcome to the October 2025 issue of Personal Care Global. This wide-ranging
issue covers topics such as anti-ageing, skin care, scalp care, eye area care, beauty from within, enzymatic esterification,
marine ingredients, sun care, anti-pollution and exosomes. The content reflects our move away from
concentrating on a limited number of topics as set out in a prescribed ‘forward features’ list for each issue. Going forward, each issue of Personal Care
magazine will have a more timely covering of the hot topics, as well as a regional focus to coincide with upcoming trade shows. See our freshly released 2026 media pack for more details. This month’s interview is with Vytrus Biotech
co-chief executive Òscar Expósito, who reflects on the Spanish company’s past, present and future. My ears perked up when Òscar, who co-
founded the Barcelona cosmetics active maker in 2009 almost immediately after completing his PhD with co-chief executive Albert Jané, gazed into his crystal ball and predicted a future of fresh

cosmetics kept in the fridge like a pint of milk. Preservatives used in cosmetics can be
problematic and are an elephant in the room that will have to be addressed eventually, he believes. When they are, says Òscar, we will see
cosmetics with a shorter shelf life but healthier for the skin. This fascinating interview can be found on page 16. Elsewhere in this issue, there is a ten-page
preview of next month’s in-cosmetics Asia trade show that takes place in Bangkok, Thailand. This year’s event includes a new feature,
Ask the Experts Networking Sessions, which give visitors the chance to connect with industry specialists – including regular Personal Care contributor Barbara Olioso - in a relaxed, interactive setting. The Personal Care-supported Formulation Lab and 9 Faces of the APAC Beauty Industry Awards make a return to the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC) on 4-6 November. The in-cosmetics Asia show is one of our
favourite events of the year. Myself, publishing director Trevor Moon, publisher Geoff King, and business manager Chris Vincent will all be at stand S92. We hope to see you there. Enjoy the magazine.
