The world’s leading cosmetics and personal care ingredients show, in-cosmetics Global, has won the highly coveted ‘Best International Show Europe’ award at the annual Association of Event Organisers (AEO) Awards.

 

The illustrious event – which took place at Grosvenor House, London on Friday, 14 June 2019 – recognises and celebrates the very best achievements and standards of excellence from event organisers, venues and suppliers within the industry. in-cosmetics Global scooped the award for its 2018 edition, which took place in Amsterdam.

 

The 2018 event attracted 9,392 unique visitors, including R&D professionals from Unilever, Estée Lauder, Coty, L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson. The figure represented a 7% year-on-year growth, with international attendance increasing by 19% to account for 88% of all visitors – confirming in-cosmetics Global’s position as the most important and well attended personal care ingredients event in the world.  A total of 773 suppliers exhibited at the award-winning show, which took place in Amsterdam for the first time in 10 years, 

 

At the event, in-cosmetics launched its now famed ‘silent’ R&D Tours that focus on highly topical subjects. Led by a leading technical consultant and cosmetic chemist, participants use wireless headphones to listen to information about ingredients and technologies being launched at the show. The initiative complemented the world-leading educational programme and interactive, hands-on Formulation Lab, providing a perfect combination of activities to deliver information about new trends and ingredients.

 

Roziani Zulkifli, Event Director at in-cosmetics Global, said: “We are incredibly proud to win this prestigious award, which cements our reputation as the world’s leading event for inspiration, education and networking in the personal care industry.

 

“We are always striving to bring fresh ideas to the event and improve our show experience for all attendees, so it’s a real coup to be rewarded for our efforts.”
