The cosmetics and personal care industry moves fast. New ingredient technologies, sustainability innovations, and formulation trends emerge constantly. For formulators and brands, staying up to date with the latest developments is essential.
This is exactly where in-cosmetics Global comes in.
Each year, the event brings together the entire global ingredients ecosystem – ingredient suppliers, cosmetic scientists, brand innovators, contract manufacturers, and regulatory experts – to share knowledge and showcase the latest advances in cosmetic science.
In 2026, in-cosmetics Global will take place in Paris, bringing together:
For three days, the show becomes the center of cosmetic innovation: a place to discover new ingredients, meet suppliers, explore sustainability solutions, and learn about emerging formulation trends.
But with so many booths, presentations, and networking opportunities, the key to success is simple: preparation.
One of the most exciting additions to in-cosmetics Global in 2026 is the growing focus on wellness and "beauty from within". As the beauty industry continues to evolve toward more holistic approaches to health and personal care, the event will introduce a brand-new Inner Beauty Zone.
This dedicated area highlights the rapidly expanding nutricosmetics category, which bridges traditional cosmetics with ingestible beauty supplements. The Inner Beauty Zone will showcase ingredients used in products such as beauty supplements, fortified foods, functional drinks, and collagen-based formulations. Visitors will be able to explore innovations ranging from vitamins and minerals to antioxidants and advanced collagen solutions designed to support skin, hair, and overall wellbeing from within.
To bring the concept of "inside-out beauty" to life, the new Taste Bar will allow visitors to experience finished nutricosmetic products firsthand.
This exciting new Inner Beauty Zone is not to be missed – secure your tickets for in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris today to experience it firsthand!
