India’s beauty and personal care industry entered 2025 with two forces working in parallel: a structurally expanding consumer market and a faster-moving ingredient layer adapting to India’s climate, usage habits, and regulatory tightening.

Refillable packaging isn’t new to the cosmetics and personal care industry – it’s been steadily infiltrating it for a couple of years, but its uptake still isn’t where it needs to be. For years, beauty brands have launched elegant refillable compacts, sleek aluminium deodorants, and reusable skincare jars. The concept is familiar, 
but the challenge now is not awareness, but acceleration.

Every year there are countless trends. Trends for the beauty industry as a whole and those trends for each segment like ingredients, packaging etc. Here in COSSMA’s new trend series, we try to collect as many trends for 2025 as possible. And not just any trends – your most important ones. Which ingredients can not be ignored? How to pack your products now? What tools help to develop the best products? How can we use AI to our advantage? Throughout the year we hopefully will get answers to all those questions… and many more! Let’s stay up to date!
