The event, scheduled from April 8 to 10, will serve as a hub for innovation, networking, and showcasing advancements in personal care ingredients.

NETHERLANDS – The in-cosmetics Global 2025 event, the leading cosmetic trade show for personal care ingredients, has officially commenced.
This annual event is set to bring together over 1,000 exhibitors and nearly 12,000 attendees from across the globe.
It is expected to offer many opportunities and insights for cosmetics and personal care professionals.
The event will also feature marketing trend seminars, technical sessions, and R&D tours, which will provide valuable knowledge on emerging trends and consumer demands.
Compared to the 2024 edition, which featured a Sustainability Zone Forum centered on eco-friendly formulations and sustainable certifications, the Testing & Regulation Forum debuting this year expands the event’s commitment to scientific validation and regulatory compliance.
Sponsored by AAK and in partnership with The Green Chemist Consultancy and Ecovia Intelligence, the Sustainability Zone offers a unique opportunity for brands to explore solutions that can help reduce environmental impact while promoting responsible sourcing and eco-friendly formulations.
The zone will consist of four key areas: the Forum, Display, Theatre, and Pavilion, each offering a different approach to sustainability.
Testing & Regulation Forum will focus on the pressing issues surrounding the cosmetics industry, including advancements in skin longevity, testing standards, and the latest regulatory updates.
The first half of the day will be dedicated to testing, during which experts will discuss the latest scientific approaches to skin care product testing.
Dr. José Luis Mullor Sanjosé from Bionos Biotech will lead a session on establishing benchmarks for skin microbiomes.
The latter half of the day will transition into a detailed exploration of regulatory issues. In collaboration with the European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients (EFfCI), the forum will examine how companies can comply with various regional standards and navigate the complexities of global regulations.
The 2025 event will also see discussions on sustainability, including a forum focused on sustainable sourcing, eco-friendly formulations, and new industry standards.
Sessions covering the latest innovations in cosmetic ingredients and technology will provide brands with valuable insights into improving product performance while meeting growing consumer demand for greener and safer alternatives.
Experts will address these developments and their impact on the cosmetics landscape, ensuring that in-cosmetics Global remains at the forefront of the industry’s advancements.
