IN-COSMETICS GLOBAL 2026 PREVIEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM SELECTED EXHIBITORS
ACTV Biotechnology (3B70) will showcase plant biotechnology, which is redefining how cosmetic actives are created, shifting the focus from extraction to precision cultivation. Using its patented ProliCell technology, in
controlled biotechnological systems, the Turkish company can design actives that are consistent, highly concentrated, guided, and environmentally responsible—much less water and energy consumption, no harm for habitat. Through naturally occurring nano-structures
such as exosomes and small regulatory RNAs, they deliver biological messages that interact with the skin’s own pathways, supporting renewal, balance, and resilience. ProliCell is not simply based on plant stem cells; it is a patented biological enrichment technology where cellular output is actively guided.
ÄIO (1C86) will showcase its latest fermentation- derived lipid ingredients designed as sustainable, high-performance alternatives to palm, coconut, and other tropical oils used in cosmetic formulations. ZymaLipid Complex (INCI: Linoleic/
Oleic/Palmitic Acid) is the first commercially available fatty acid complex produced via yeast fermentation. With over 99% purity, it delivers a semi-solid texture that is solid at room temperature and liquid at skin temperature, offering luxury emollience, predictable rheology, improved oxidative stability, and easy emulsification. It enables formulators to replace multiple plant oils or butters with a single multifunctional ingredient. RedOil (INCI: Rhodotorula Oil) is an unrefined,
carotenoid-rich oil produced by fermentation. Naturally high in antioxidants, polyphenols, and sterols, it provides strong oxidative stability, barrier support, and sensory richness for face oils, balms, and colour cosmetics. Encapsulated oil (INCI: Rhodotorula Ferment)
is a dry, multi-nutritional powder combining lipids, proteins, glucans, and antioxidants. It acts as an active, stabiliser, and texture modifier, enabling long shelf-life formulations and novel formats. All ingredients are with a fully traceable
European origin, palm-free and vegan profile, and significantly lower environmental footprint, allowing brands to deliver luxury sensorial experiences without compromising sustainability.
Anhui Huaheng Biotechnology (2Q45) is excited to exhibit its portfolio of star products, including Biopurenol DP100, Bioblanca 1,3-PDO, along with new product launches awaiting your discovery. Anhui Huaheng Biotechnology, based in
Hefei City, China, is a synthetic biology company focused on green technology innovation and sustainable value creation. Its main products include amino acids, vitamins, and bio-based intermediates and monomers.
Ascot International (2R60) is excited to showcase Yurvani Sundial, a groundbreaking
Azeco Cosmeceuticals (3H128)
Azeco Cosmeceuticals (3H128) is inviting formulators and brand owners to discover the science behind its Azepur99 cosmetic grade azelaic acid. As the leading supplier of cosmetic- grade azelaic acid, Azeco will showcase its
blend of UV filters that enables the effortless addition of broad-spectrum sun protection into any formulation with just a single drop-in blend. Say goodbye to the complexities of traditional UV filter formulation and discover the simplicity of Sundial. See it in action with innovative, tropical-
inspired triple-layer suncare formulations, and experience firsthand how seamlessly Sundial integrates to deliver powerful, reliable SPF. It is also exhibiting its Ayurvedic herbal
extracts, crafted using a traditional water-only extraction process and spray-dried to preserve the full synergy of nature’s potent phytochemicals. These all-natural extracts bring the ancient power of botanicals into modern formulations, enhancing both efficacy and sensory appeal.

antimicrobial booster with broad pH versatility, and a nature derived superwetting agent that quickly wets curly, textured hair.
BASF (3C60)
BASF (3C60) will take the wraps off its Authentic+ concept, a push back against AI slop. With digital filters and AI, anyone can nowadays create an idealized digital image in seconds, challenging the cosmetics industry’s traditional promises of beauty and confidence. Rather than competing with these technologies, BASF invites brands to redefine the purpose of cosmetics: to nurture the whole person, not just their façade. This means prioritizing skin and hair health,
sensory rituals, and confidence-building experiences that honour individuality and encourage authenticity. After all, a true smile shines brighter than any artificial image. Authentic+ empowers brands to create
products that spark feeling, confidence, and connection – beyond filters and fleeting trends. Its textures and sensory profiles generate immediate emotional responses during application, turning everyday routines into small rituals of care.
Big Chemistry (2D54) is presenting a new initiative centred on a fully automated, self-driving robot lab that is reshaping formulation research. By combining automated high-throughput experimentation with data-driven intelligence, formulation shifts from an experience-based
flagship ingredient through an expert session highlighting multifunctional and science backed benefits of azelaic acid for modern personal care formulations. Derived from high oleic sunflower oil, Azepur99
azelaic acid is a cosmetic active of natural origin known for helping reduce blemishes, providing antioxidant protection, and calming visible irritation while supporting smoother, more balanced looking skin. Beyond facial care, its versatility extends to
body care, scalp and haircare, where it helps improve skin condition, support a balanced microbiome, and promote a healthier environment around the hair follicle. The expert session will present in vitro
antioxidant data alongside clinical results, underlining Azepur99’s strong safety profile and high tolerability across applications. The session will take place at 15:15 on 14 April at Technical Seminar Theatre 4, Hall 7, Level 3.
