Honouring innovation: COSSMA

Without innovation and outstanding ideas, the beauty industry wouldn’t be as diverse as it is  today. At Cosmopack Asia in Hong Kong the excellence of the beauty industry in the Asia-Pacific region has been rewarded: The winners of the Cosmopack Asia Awards have been announced,  at the presence of exhibitors, buyers, retailers, media and trend scouters.
