Click through to learn about the trends the CosmeticsDesign editor has seen at this year's tradeshows so far.
In-Cosmetics Global returned this year in Paris, and CosmeticsDesign was there to scope out what’s hot in cosmetics ingredients.
The US alone has a number of cosmetic ingredient shows, but In-Cosmetics global can give us a zoomed-out view of what’s happening globally in the market. The mix of consumer demands, scientific innovation and tech integration are driving what ingredients will shape the world of cosmetics going forward.
CosmeticsDesign walked the floor, seeing what the more than 700 exhibitors were showcasing and spotting what's trendy so you didn’t have to.
Microbiome focus
Recent research does show that microbiome health may have an impact on skin health and ingredient suppliers seem ready to jump on the “microbiome friendly” train.
Cosmoprof features hundreds of finish products vying for the attention of buyers, but the show also reveals some trends in consumer products.
Inclusivity has been a market trend in cosmetics for a few years, but at NYSCC Supplier’s Day, inclusive ingredients were one of the dominant trends.
NYSCC returned for the second time since COVID shut down trade shows, and despite the short six-month gap between this and the last Supplier’s Day, there were distinctly different trends on the show floor.
While suppliers want to meet manufacturers and brands where they’re at in the market, they also showcase their trend forecasting innovations at Supplier’s Day. Below are three of the big trends CosmeticsDesign saw at the show.
Curly hair care ingredients
Many exhibitors large and small came to Supplier's Day with ingredients and kits for curly hair types, often focused on Black hair care. While the Black haircare market is a multi-billion dollar segment, many experts say it has been under-researched for decades in the US.
While fragrance isn’t exclusive to the personal care and cosmetics market, it is an essential element with trends industry professionals should know about.
CosmeticsDesign attended the 2022 World Perfumery Congress in Miami, Florida to check on the trends, launches and innovations in the fragrance supply chain.
Like the rest of the personal care industry, global issues like the pandemic and climate change are top of fragrance brands’ minds. What that means for suppliers varies, but CosmeticsDesign saw these three trends across the showroom floor.
More sustainable ingredient replacements
Ingredients with more sustainable supply chains are a focus across personal care categories, and fragrance is no exception.
CosmeticsDesign attended Luxe Pack NYC to check out the cosmetic packaging trends this year.
