This market, which has not grown at all in Germany, the biggest European market, did however enjoy an average increase on a global level of 8 percent between 2003 and 2008, according to the market research company Euromonitor.

New ideas – from sexy to classical
Despite the exceptional circumstances that threatened to restrict the numbers visiting Cosmoprof, namely the partial overlap with In-Cosmetics and the flight restrictions imposed because of the volcano, the event in Bologna attracted 143,331 visitors, a 5 percent increase over last year. 2,254 exhibitors, of which 1,325, or 59 percent, came from outside of Italy, were there to show their latest offerings. A rich and varied supporting programme* provided an additional attraction with cosmetics industry information and events. We take a look here at some interesting new standard ranges for colour cosmetics and skin care, and focus on some new decorative techniques, applicators and dispensers that were on show.

Formulations
Natural Cosmetics
In this issue our selection of formulations covers products for natural cosmetics.
A natural cosmetic is still the word on everyone's lips, and so it's no wonder that there is still a search for new types of natural formulation.Because natural cosmetics are increasingly focussing on the pampering aspects of cosmetics formulations, products such as Luxurious Body Wash from Croda, Gracefully Green Face Cream w/o Preservatives from Cognis, Natural velvet compact eyeshadow from Sensient Cosmetic Technologies and Natural Velveting Bar from Zschimmer & Schwarz should be of particular interest.
And there is a good selection of formulations for natural baby care, for example Natural Repair & Protect Nappy Cream from Croda or, as an alternative, Natural Baby Diaper Care from Dr. Straetmans. For companies in the sun care business Soothing Balm for Suntired Skin from Greentech and Natural Sunscreen from Kobo Products are included in the selection.
The very varied mix of basic formulations that have been specially submitted for this issue by ingredients manufacturers can be downloaded free of charge from our web site. You will find your access codes on the Internet button on page 3 and 38 of the printed edition.
