In-Cosmetics Global, the leading global event for cosmetics and personal care ingredients, will return to the world’s beauty capital at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France April 14-16, 2026.

The trade show will welcome more than 1,000 exhibitors, including 90% of the world’s leading ingredient suppliers such as BASF, Lucas Meyer by Clariant, Ashland, Cargill and Lubrizol, alongside newer players such as Core Biogenesis, FairWild Foundation, Oat Cosmetics and Validated Claim Support. New innovations will be on display throughout with the show also hosting a strong cohort of first-time exhibitors, including Europelab, Palsgaard, Applied StemCell, Pilot Chemical and many more. As the industry enters what McKinsey describes a new era of “disciplined growth and heightened consumer expectations,” In-Cosmetics Global 2026 is touted to serve as a launchpad for the next wave of ingredient innovations.

“The industry is in an exciting period of growth and transformation, and In-Cosmetics Global 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment,” said Andy Mather, event director of In-Cosmetics Global. “Consumer needs are evolving rapidly, making cosmetic innovation and science more critical than ever. This is where brands and innovators come together to shape the future of beauty: to connect, collaborate and create the next wave of industry-leading products.”

Meeting Consumer Demand

With the market forecasted to expand by 5% annually until 2030, the event will spotlight how brands can meet growing consumer demand for value, innovation and performance. Amid a shifting economic climate, trade show organizers say consumers are increasingly selective, prioritizing value for money and trust in product claims. This is prompting a reported three-quarters of beauty executives to prioritize growth through new product development. From premier skincare backed by clinical results to the rise of ‘masstige’ brands, In-Cosmetics Global 2026 will reflect the evolving cosmetics industry.

The 2026 edition will introduce new and expanded areas of focus, including nutricosmetics, wellness-driven beauty, sustainable initiatives and contract manufacturing, giving attendees an exclusive look at the trends, ingredients and technologies shaping the future of beauty.

Interim Leadership

The event team also announces a leadership update. With Event Director Roziani Zulkifli on maternity leave, Andy Mather has taken over the role in her place. Mather brings extensive experience of leading international events across the health and nutrition sectors, to guide In-Cosmetics Global through this next chapter.
