"I came to in-cosmetics Global to meet new people and look for ingredients across categories, from chemical peels to pigments for makeup and even perfumes. One of the biggest challenges in R&D is how fast things change, especially around regulation like SPF in Europe, so events like this are key for staying up to date. It’s been a great chance to gather new information, discover exciting products, and connect with the right people."

"The show has been very helpful for meeting our objectives, there has been great traffic with no decrease on the third day. Good quality meetings have been very helpful, with no drop from the Paris event last year. Being recognised by in-cosmetics Global at the awards has definitely helped with buzz. in-cosmetics Global is an important show for us to attend and we have been coming since the very beginning. I would describe it using the words quality, attendance, innovation."
