This year will see the debut of a new feature at SCS Formulate called Ingredients Trails.
The Ingredients Trails will focus on hot topics from within the beauty and personal care industry. Each Ingredient Trail will lead you around the exhibition where you will visit 10 exhibiting companies that you will want to meet.
The Ingredients Trails will focus on the following areas:
Sustainability
With consumers becoming more environmentally conscious, sustainability has become a hot topic - something that consumers are looking for in their beauty and personal care products.
There are many definitions on what sustainability is, and few are able to agree on how to ensure that the industry and consumers are still here in another 100 years, Sustainability is definitely an interesting topic.
Visit the 10 companies showcasing their sustainable ingredients to find out more about how you can make your product more sustainable.
Anti-ageing
With everyone wanting to have beauty products that reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enhance the elasticity of the skin and delay the signs of ageing, anti-ageing is definitely in very high demand.
Anti-ageing is one of the most dynamic segments of facial skincare, valued as $2.2 billion in 2009 in the combined ‘Big 5’ (Mintel). Anti-ageing is expected to grow dramatically in the next 10 years with new technologies, ingredients and delivery systems being introduced.
The Anti-Ageing Trail will lead you to exhibitors who will be showcasing ingredients that help with anti-ageing.
Nanotechnology
An emerging trend within the cosmetic market, nanotechnology can now be found in sunscreens, long-lasting make-up, anti-ageing creams, toothpaste, nail treatments and hair colouring products.
BCC Research is forecasting the global market for cosmetics using nanotechnology to reach $155.8 million in 2012 it is certainly going to be an area of interest.
