Registration Is Open for In-Cosmetics Global 2022

Registration is open for In-Cosmetics Global. The world’s largest personal care ingredients trade show returns to Paris, April 5-7, 2022. It is Reed Exhibition's first in-person European event in three years. In-Cosmetics Global, like so many other live events, was postponed due to covid-19. In addition to the live event, there is a virtual follow-up event April 11-22. Click here to register for one or both events.

Organizers at Reed note that the cosmetics and personal care industry has faced a tumultuous 24 months, with significant disruption seen on a global scale. However, demonstrating the industry’s resilience, many cosmetic and personal care brands found a new way to thrive in the “new normal,” prioritizing production lines most in need—such as hand sanitizers and surfacing cleaning formulas. Today, as society reopens, brands are reassessing the industry landscape, embracing the trends that have accelerated while assessing those that have gained new ground.

More than 400 personal care ingredient suppliers are among those confirmed to exhibit in Paris this April. When attendees tire of walking the exhibition aisles, they will have plenty of opportunities to slow down and learn from presenters who are experts in their field.

“After three years of virtual In-Cosmetics events in Europe, we’re excited to get back to Paris to reconnect the industry face-to-face,” said Roziana Zulkifli, event director, In-Cosmetics Global, “Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a growing appetite for in-person networking and collaboration. It’s why this year, our emphasis is firmly on providing a safe and secure environment for the industry to do business. This includes three days of busy in-person sourcing and networking, and for the first time in the show’s history, a follow-up virtual event that will extend the opportunities to collaborate and learn. We are counting down the days, looking forward to a triumphant return to Paris and excited to welcome the industry as they join us.”

A New Hybrid Approach
