Paris to serve a taste of tomorrow’s beauty
Andy Mather – RX Global Tim Probert – Personal Care Global
in-cosmetics Global, the world’s leading event for personal care ingredients, returns to Paris next month offering the global beauty supply chain a critical opportunity to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market. With the industry’s future growth expected to
be driven by innovation, the show will connect brands, formulators, R&D experts, cosmetic scientists, manufacturers and suppliers, showcasing the full spectrum of new and established beauty ingredients, formulations, and services to support the entire ‘lab to launch’ journey. As global beauty executives increasingly
focus on the true value of products in terms of efficacy, sensory experience, wellness and sustainability, the 2026 edition of the show will provide a platform to explore emerging trends across skin care, hair care, fragrance, colour cosmetics, nutricosmetics and more. Leading names, including The Estée Lauder Companies, COSMAX, Chanel, and K18 will take part alongside over 1,000 exhibitors and 14,000 attendees from across the globe.
2026 welcomes a new focus on wellness and inner beauty Reflecting the industry’s evolution towards holistic beauty and wellness, in-cosmetics Global will debut the Inner Beauty Zone, bridging cosmetics and nutraceuticals as it expands into the fast- growing nutricosmetics landscape. Sponsored by KSM-66 and launched in partnership with The Good Pill Co, the Inner Beauty Zone will showcase innovations in ingestible beauty supplement ingredients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and collagen solutions, fortified foods, drinks and shakes. This category is experiencing strong
growth; globally, 41% of consumers use beauty supplements, with 27% of US consumers taking them regularly, and nearly half of non-users (43%) expressing interest in trying them. Bringing nutricosmetic ingredients to life, the new Taste Bar will let visitors experience beauty-from-within concepts first-hand in finished product samples. The inner beauty and nutricosmetics theme will be further supported by expert-led content exploring scientific and commercial advances in inside-out beauty, with speakers from The Good Pill Co, Symrise, Beauty Brand Formula, Future Snoops and Urenew Beauty UK. Fragrance remains one of the fastest-growing personal care sectors globally, with McKinsey

projecting 8% annual growth from 2024-2030, driven by younger consumer demographics and rising demand for high-end niche fragrances. Reflecting this momentum, this year’s event
will reveal an expanded Fragrance Zone, including the all-new Scent Bar, an immersive hub designed to demonstrate how scent can elevate consumer routines into rituals and enhance product perception and premiumisation. The Scent Bar will showcase products from leading aroma innovators including Technicoflor, Eurofragance, Parfex, Iberchem, and more. In response to growing demand for production
partners, the event will introduce a new Contract Manufacturer Zone, bringing leading contract manufacturers together in one dedicated space. Featuring companies such as Axenoll 3D Printing, BOTANIC’ALL, Concentrated Aloe Corporation and Mussler Cosmetic Production, the zone will help founders and brand leaders streamline supplier discovery and accelerate product development.
Connecting the beauty ecosystem This year will see industry powerhouses such as BASF, Lubrizol, Symrise, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant, Givaudan Active Beauty, Ashland, Evonik and Croda take part alongside 130 first-time exhibitors entering the global beauty ingredients market. The new and emerging innovators will include Albert Invent, Palsgaard,
Applied StemCell, Pilot Chemical, Europelab, Catalynt Solutions, Nordic Bioproduct, Plinius Labs, Pharmalinea, Bolt and many more, reinforcing in-cosmetics Global’s position as the launch platform for next-generation ingredients and products.
