Taking place from 2-4 July 2025 in Hall C at the Coex, Seoul, South Korea, the event is where personal care innovators and creators come together.Seoul, long a destination for beauty services, last year became the top exporter of cosmetics to the US, overtaking France, according to the US International Trade Commission. In the same period, Korea’s total cosmetics exports hit US$10.2 billion, up from US$7.5 billion in 2020, according to the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

These additions will give attendees even more opportunities to explore innovations, connect with exhibitors, and stay ahead in the evolving market.
