Cosmetics & Personal Care
Innovation goes into overdrive at in-cosmetics Asia 29th October 2018
The APAC region is famed for its innovation around the world, but to maintain its place at the forefront of the beauty industry cosmetic chemists need to keep pace with the latest ingredient launches. And that’s what they’ll have the opportunity to do at in-cosmetics Asia’s Innovation Zone, which will feature dozens of new product launches and a series of live demonstrations from Mintel.
Demonstrating the show’s commitment to highlighting what’s new, R&D professionals and formulators will be able to get hands on with 70 of the world’s most exciting new ingredients, all launched within the last eight months. Some ingredients come with sample formulations to show manufacturers how ingredients react in different scenarios so they can identify those suitable for specific product types.
Mintel will return with its popular series of Live Demonstrations titled Developing Beauty in a World of Emotions – delivered by its Beauty & Personal Care team – that will demonstrate incredible new finished products which boast unique qualities. Attendees will also be invited to touch and feel the latest concepts during the trend forecaster’s daily presentations.
