Award-winners announced in Paris

in-cosmetics Global unveiled the winners of its Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Awards 2019 – a celebration of the most cutting-edge personal care ingredients that have been launched in the past six months.

Ingredients businesses large and small put forward their best innovations for contention for Gold, Silver and Bronze places across five categories – Best Active Ingredient, Best Functional Ingredient, Green Ingredient, Make-Up Bar Award and the Sensory Award. Judged by some of the industry’s foremost experts, the awards are highly respected around the world and demonstrate the fantastic innovation that is on display at in-cosmetics Global.

A further Rising Star award was handed out for the first time, coined to recognise a first-time exhibitor at in-cosmetics Global. Entrants were judged by the range of their offering, as well as innovation, commodity, how many sectors they can accommodate and how solutions-orientated the product range was.
