The organiser of the in-cosmetics Global trade show is expecting over 1,000 exhibitors at the 2025 edition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands - in what it is claiming will be its most international event to-date.
RX Global said new exhibitors from around the world – including Germany, the Netherlands, the USA, Korea, China, and India – will be showcased in a dedicated hall as they aspire to become key players in the international personal care ingredients market.
Taking place at RAI Amsterdam on 8-10 April, returning exhibitors like Lubrizol, Symrise, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, Givaudan Active Beauty, Ashland, GFC Life Science and Croda will also showcase innovations addressing current shifts in the sector.
Meanwhile, the event will feature multiple product areas and conference theatres, including the Marketing Trends Theatre, Sustainability Zone, Innovation Zone, Fragrance Zone, Sensory Bar, Make-Up Bar, Technical Seminars, Testing and Regulations Forum, Formulation Lab, and Testing Discovery Pavilion.
The Marketing Trends Theatre will be organised into three key themes: day one will focus on the European and global market, innovation, and ingredient trends; day two will spotlight key and emerging trends such as wellness and dermocosmetics; whilst day three will address the business of beauty and the future of the industry.
The Sustainability Zone, sponsored by AAK, will showcase the latest in green beauty, with sustainable sourcing solutions and eco-friendly formulations shaping the industry’s future.
Following its launch last year, the Sustainability Zone Forum – curated by Dr. Barbara Olioso, CEO of The Green Chemist Consultancy – will return in an expanded two-day format on 8–9 April, now located on the show floor to enhance accessibility.
The forum will cover key topics, including regulatory shifts, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and sustainable packaging.
New for 2025 is a strengthened focus on developments in testing and regulatory standards, designed to help brands substantiate claims, efficacy and science-backed beauty standards.
On day three of the show, the Sustainability Zone Forum will transform into a pop-up Testing and Regulations Forum in partnership with Skinobs, tackling the latest regulatory updates, providing essential insights on product testing and guiding attendees through the intricacies of policymaking.
Meanwhile, the Formulation Lab, sponsored by Brenntag, media partner Personal Care Global, and managed by award-winning cosmetic scientist, Lorna Radford, will give formulators a hands-on experience formulating with new ingredients, enabling them to refine their skills and experiment with emerging techniques.
Roziani Zulkifli, event director of in-cosmetics Global, said: "We’re excited to return to the Netherlands next year for in-cosmetics Global 2025. The Dutch, German and Nordic nations represent significant and influential beauty markets and for 2025 we’re particularly excited to deepen our engagement with these important regions.
"As always, science, innovation, and sustainability remain the backbone of the industry, and the event will continue to support Europe's leadership in cosmetic science. We look forward to showcasing the very best in cosmetic science, with expanded show programmes and fresh opportunities for collaboration."
