in-cosmetics Global officially opens registration for its 2026 event
Last update on Dec 10, 2025
in-cosmetics Global, the global event for cosmetics and personal care ingredients, will return to the world’s beauty capital at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France, from 14-16 April 2026. Registration for the event is now officially open.
The show will bring together thousands of cosmetic ingredients suppliers, formulators, R&D professionals, and brands eager to shape the future of personal care innovation. As the industry enters what McKinsey describes as a new era of ‘disciplined growth and heightened consumer expectations,’ in-cosmetics Global 2026 will serve as a launchpad for the next wave of ingredient innovations.
2026 edition will introduce new and expanded areas of focus
With the market forecasted to expand by 5% annually until 2030, the event will spotlight how brands can meet growing consumer demand for value, innovation, and performance. Amid a shifting economic climate, consumers are increasingly selective, prioritizing value for money and trust in product claims. This is prompting three-quarters of beauty executives to prioritize growth through new product development. From premier skincare backed by clinical results to the rise of ‘masstige’ brands, in-cosmetics Global 2026 will reflect the evolving cosmetics industry.
The 2026 edition will introduce new and expanded areas of focus, including nutricosmetics, wellness-driven beauty, sustainable initiatives, and contract manufacturing, giving attendees an exclusive look at the trends, ingredients, and technologies shaping the future of beauty.
The event team also announces a leadership update. With event director Roziani Zulkifli on maternity leave, Andy Mather has taken over as event director. Andy brings extensive experience of leading international events across the health and nutrition sectors, to guide in-cosmetics Global through this next exciting chapter.
Andy Mather, event director of in-cosmetics Global, said, “The industry is in an exciting period of growth and transformation, and in-cosmetics Global 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment. Consumer needs are evolving rapidly, making cosmetic innovation and science more critical than ever. This is where brands and innovators come together to shape the future of beauty: to connect, collaborate and create the next wave of industry-leading products. We confidently predict that this will be our most expansive, comprehensive show to date, and are really looking forward to sharing what’s in store very soon.”
in-cosmetics Global 2026 will welcome more than 1,000 exhibitors, including 90% of the world’s ingredient suppliers such as BASF, Lucas Meyer by Clariant, Ashland, Cargill, and Lubrizol, alongside newer players such as Core Biogenesis, FairWild Foundation, Oat Cosmetics and Validated Claim Support. New innovations will be on show throughout with the show also hosting a strong cohort of first-time exhibitors, including Europelab, Palsgaard, Applied StemCell, Pilot Chemical and many more.
in-cosmetics Global 2026 will take place from 14-16 April at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France.
