In-Cosmetics Asia, the leading event in Asia Pacific for personal care ingredients, returns Nov. 1-3 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Center.
The event will feature more than 400 exhibitors, with over 60 first-time exhibitors.
New Product Innovations and Exhibitors
Offering a fresh perspective on cosmetic ingredients that are healthy to use and better for the planet, Carbonwave will demonstrate the world's first seaweed-based cosmetic emulsifier, SeaBalance 2000. The ultra-regenerative, plant-based advanced biomaterial, which was the joint winner of the Best (Functional) Ingredient at the In-cosmetics Korea Awards in July, offers a highly versatile all-natural emulsifier. It works in cold processes with broad spectrum performance in a wide range of applications.
Further highlighting how natural and sustainable alternatives can replace synthetic ingredients, fellow new exhibitor AVT Natural will announce two new products – AVT QG40 and AVT QG90 - made with Quercetagetin extracted from the marigold flower. Sustainably sourced and processed using green solvents, this powerful flavonoid component is recognized for its therapeutic, anti-parasitic, anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic and anti-viral effects. It is ideal for use in skin and hair applications.
Championing the industry's efforts to embrace sustainability, Eurofragrance will present new perfume creations in innovative and sustainable applications, such as confetti soap and solid conditioner. It will also feature an eco-conscious collection of products with vegan, sustainable and eco-certifiable fragrances – the Sensolab collection – that combines innovation and sustainability in applications that seek to inspire and improve consumer experiences.
Groupe Elixens will present its new aromatic raw materials: organic lemon savory essential oil, organic lemon savory hydrolate, organic calendula and meadowsweet macerates. It will also highlight a wide range of quality natural ingredients that demonstrate the company's commitment to sustainable development. Vital-Chem will showcase its natural skin regeneration ingredient, Shikonin (Shikon Extract) which promotes wound healing, and eliminates acne and acne scars, while ROELMI HPC will introduce attendees to its microbiome-focused ingredients for skin wellbeing. This includes a trio of products including its ÆCTIVE biotechnological GMO-free metabolite; EquiBiotics LRh probiotic-derived ingredient; and Ener-GY, a cell energy-inducing active ingredient designed to optimize mitochondrial activation.
Kobo, Croda Singapore and More Demonstrate Science and Nature
Croda Singapore will celebrate science and nature with a trio of new products, including active ingredient, BB-Biont(tm) from Sederma. It preserves the cutaneous microbiome biodiversity while stimulating skin reconstruction and avoiding inflammatory skin damage. Also available on the stand will be Glucohyami(tm), a natural glucosamine sourced from fresh chicory root sustainably and ethically cultivated; and Nutrinvent(tm) Balance which uses a novel encapsulated technology to provide the targeted delivery of actives to the scalp to effectively reduce sebum.
Forestwise, the sustainable ingredients supplier, will present its Organic FFL Kukui Nut Oil that is produced from wild, raw materials. Available for the first time in a fair trade and organic grade, it can be used as a moisturizing agent and in haircare as a protecting oil. Meanwhile, Kobo will showcase its KoboGuard Natural 2063 oil soluble film former, extracted from pinewood. This resin is highly hydrogenated, exceptionally pale and has outstanding resistance to oxidation and discoloration. It is allergen-tested, making it particularly suitable for use in skin contact products.
Attendees can also test and try Rahn's new Myramaze essence. The sensocosmetic active ingredient revitalizes the skin with the help of all the senses: its scent compounds can lighten the mood even at low-threshold concentrations. Elsewhere, LipoTrue will help attendees discover how to combat three different types of stresses: "phystress" that depletes the body of energy; "emostress" which puts pressure on the mind; and "envirostress" caused by external aggressors.
Driven by the growing clean beauty movement and helping to demonstrate how to upcycle unwanted by-products to create all-new ingredients, Sensient Beauty will highlight its Natpure Xco Choco CC864 - an extract made from cocoa husks discarded by the chocolate industry. This water-soluble extract is 100% naturally derived and contains antioxidant properties that can be used in skincare, haircare, and personal care applications. It will also introduce its Sensisorb Biomim, which mimics the properties of mycosporine-like amino acids (MMAs). It provides UV protection with SPF booster properties, color and fragrance protection and is compliant with Thailand and US National Park regulations.
