Taking place at London’s ExCeL from April 4-6, here is a look at what’s new and what’s making a comeback at in-cosmetics Global.

What’s New

  • The Make-Up Bar: an area designed for exhibitors to demonstrate new makeup formulations for eye, skin nail and lip products while allowing visitors to identify pigments and technologies that will help shape trends in color cosmetic products.
  • The Sustainability Corner: a theater of sorts, this area will showcase the latest developments and initiatives in personal care sustainability.

What’s Innovative

  • The Innovation Zone: ingredients that have been launched within six months of the show opening can be found here. Visitors are invited to feel, touch and smell new ingredients during live demonstrations.
  • Formulation Lab: an area of the show that will hold sessions designed to provide R&D and lab professionals with rare hands-on experience from industry experts on how to formulate the latest ingredients.

What’s Cutting Edge

  • Artificial Intelligence: Anastasia Georgievskaya, co-founder and research scientist at Youth Laboratories, will explore this topic during her session how to use artificial intelligence to make people look younger.

What’s Interactive
