Knowledge is power
They are smart, they are selective, and they are changing the game. A new category of consumers is emerging to challenge beauty brands’ claims, armed with self-acquired knowledge and an ethical mindset.
Trends
The rise of ingredients-led beauty
In addition to manufacturers, consumers are also becoming increasingly concerned with the ingredients used in cosmetic products. Kayla Villena knows how this trend came about and how it affects the use of functional ingredients in formulations.
Convenient body care
Feeling good in your skin is an aspect that is increasingly important to customers. Body care plays an important role in this. New approaches to ingredients are necessary so that it is no longer perceived as a necessary evil but as an essential part of the daily care routine.
Protection against oxidation
The trend towards natural ingredients in cosmetics and also towards the use of vegetable oils continues to strengthen. Due to their composition, these harbour problems in terms of stability during the product’s shelf life. Arielle Springer and Dr Sandra Kiese present a process to increase the stability of the products.
What’s new in the region?
BolognaFiere, Informa Markets and China Beauty Expo joined their know-how and tools to present the latest exhibition of the Cosmoprof international network. International exhibitors, match-making software and talks bring you up to date and invite you to make contacts.
From waste to value
Upcycling of by-products and waste from the agricultural, beverage, food and fragrance industry is a promising solution to produce valuable ingredients for cosmetics and to have full circularity with a zero-waste approach. Prof Dr Andrea Wanninger and her students show what is currently possible.
Formulation 2022: Hair Care
The tasks of hair care have long since gone far beyond cleaning and detangling the hair. Sensitive scalps need to be cared for, curls should look beautiful and styling products have to protect the hair as well. This overview offers a selection of the latest formulations that reflect the current trends on the market.
On the way to new materials
Getting rid of non-recyclable materials – the beauty industry is familiar with this wish and demand. But how can this work in the packaging sector? Stefano Manfredini and Harald Pichler are involved in the Bionanopolys research project and explain which trend-setting developments can be expected.
Formulation 2022: Sun care
Not least because many travel restrictions have been lifted, the market for sun care products is recovering significantly while demand is increasing. We present a selection of formulations and ingredient suppliers offering products for sun protection and post-sun care.
What does it truly mean?
The demand is great and continues to grow – but what is really behind the label? In fact, the ideas of clean cosmetics are of a different nature. Dr Barbara Olioso knows how important a clear definition would be and in which direction the trend is moving.
Expecting that little bit extra
The coronavirus pandemic has left its mark in the beauty industry. Many companies have adapted to the changed conditions – be it by compensating for temporarily lost business sectors or by adapting to the new needs of customers. Dr Phillippe Ch. Auderset talks about the current situation in Switzerland.
From one hand
Smaller order quantities, limited editions, personalised products – the change in the retail shelf landscape is having an impact on the cosmetics industry. If manufacturers want to keep up, a high degree of flexibility is required. Daniel Traub explains the advantages of a compact system that combines many work steps in one unit.
Growing trend for dermocosmetics
The trend for products with dermocosmetic properties is gaining momentum in the cosmetics industry. But what exactly is behind it? Why are these products so popular among consumers? Lucilene Veira Nunes shares her insights about the available solutions for cosmetic manufacturers in this expanding category.
