The 2026 edition of in-cosmetics Global, organised by RX, concluded a record-breaking edition in Paris, welcoming 12,559 unique visitors and reinforcing its position as the leading destination for personal care ingredients and trends. Sponsored by KSM-66, the event attracted a
highly international audience - 67% international versus 33% domestic - creating a truly global exchange of ideas across the show floor. Bringing together brands, manufacturers and
suppliers from across the personal care value chain, the show floor was filled with innovations and concepts that set the global benchmark for beauty’s future. Attendees included leading global beauty
and cosmetic houses such as L’Oréal, Chanel, Estée Lauder, Coty and Puig, alongside a diverse mix of ingredient suppliers, indie brands, cosmetic scientists, manufacturers, formulators and R&D specialists. This year’s edition also highlighted the
industry’s expansion into new verticals including nutricosmetics, neurocosmetics, health and wellness, reflecting a broader evolution across the global beauty landscape.
Introducing inner beauty This year saw the debut of the Inner Beauty Zone, a new area bridging beauty and nutraceuticals. Within the zone, innovations in beauty-from-

The Taste Bar invited visitors to sample a
range of supplements from Mibelle Biochemistry, KSM-66 Ashwagandha, Bionap, Lubrizol, Symrise and more. Building on this, the new Taste Bar Award
recognised standout innovations with Lubrizol awarded Best Tasting Nutricosmetics Food for its Curcushine gummies and Symrise winning Best Tasting Nutricosmetics Beverage for its AceRoselle. The momentum around beauty-from-within
was further reflected across the show floor. “It’s been a success story for Activ’Inside - it is our first time exhibiting here in the Inner Beauty Zone,” said Karine Laurent, European sales director at Activ’Inside. “We’re riding the huge trend in the beauty- from-within market, and in-cosmetics Global is a
