Reflecting the industry's shift towards holistic beauty and wellness, in-cosmetics Global will introduce the Inner Beauty Zone, bridging cosmetics and nutraceuticals as it expands into the fast-growing nutricosmetics market. Sponsored by KSM-66 and launched in partnership with The Good Pill Co™, the zone will spotlight innovations in ingestible beauty ingredients, from vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to fortified foods and functional drinks. The Taste Bar will allow visitors to sample finished beauty-from-within concepts firsthand.

An expanded Fragrance Zone will feature the new Scent Bar, demonstrating how scent enhances product perception and supports premiumisation. Further, a dedicated Contract Manufacturer Zone will bring leading partners together in one focused space to facilitate new business connections.

Andy Mather, Event Director of in-cosmetics Global, said: "The beauty industry is at a pivotal point, expanding beyond traditional personal care towards beauty from within and wellness, by focusing on nutricosmetics. Brands are under pressure to move faster from concept to commercialisation, and in-cosmetics Global sits at the heart of this value chain. in-cosmetics Global supports innovation from lab to launch by connecting science, ingredients, formulation expertise and manufacturing on one global platform.
