The beauty industry’s international calendar of major events have long offered Australia’s cosmetic buyers, brands and distributors the chance to catch up on trends, explore new brands and reinforce or make new business connections.
The Covid-19 crisis caused many important exhibitions to go virtual. So it’s good news that the world’s largest personal care ingredients trade show – in-Cosmetics Global – will be staged in Paris from April 5th to 7th and is Reed Exhibitions first-face-to-face European event in three years.
Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible visa holders can now travel overseas without exemptions and registrations are now open for in-Cosmetics Global. More than 400 personal care ingredient suppliers will be in attendance. Other highlights include the Sensory Bar which will showcase new fragrances, flavours and textures. The Make-Up Bar will profile innovative pigments and technologies. While the Sustainability Corner will provide information on the latest environmentally-friendly advances and materials.
There will also be nine country-specific pavilions detailing the latest trends from France, the UK, South Korea, Brazil, Spain, South Africa, Colombia, Peru and Tunisia. Additional dedicated zones include the Fragrance Zone, the Lab Zone and the Testing and Regulation Zone.
This year’s in-cosmetics Global will also have a major virtual component – a hybrid approach which allows in-person attendees to explore topics of interest they might have missed or want to know more about and also helps those who couldn’t make the trip to learn about the latest beauty industry trends and more. The virtual event will run from April 11th to 22nd.
“After three years of virtual in-Cosmetics events in Europe, we’re excited to get back to Paris to reconnect the industry face-to-face,” says Roziana Zulkifli, Event Director, in-Cosmetics Global. “Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a growing appetite for in-person networking and collaboration. It’s why this year, our emphasis is firmly on providing a safe and secure environment for the industry to do business.
“This includes three days of busy in-person sourcing and networking and for the first time in the show’s history, a follow-up virtual event that will extend opportunities to collaborate and learn. We are counting the days, looking forward to a triumphant return to Paris and excited to welcome the industry as they join us.”
