in-cosmetics Global 2023 is the meeting place driving innovation and development through the entire cosmetics sector worldwide. This year, the multicity annual trade show took place between 28 to 30 March 2023 in Fira Barcelona Gran Via.
We showcased our sustainable, science-backed innovative solutions, including a brand-new lineup spanning four market applications and supported by our expert DSM services.
Nowadays, people’s awareness is becoming increasingly green as well as their choices, not just for their own future, but for the generations to come. In our seemingly connected yet polarized society, consumers are searching for the truth. Most find misinformation instead. When it comes to personal care products, this means false claims and sustainability promises that don’t hold up.
At DSM we want to greenlight the truth. At a time when sustainability claims are under a microscope, facts and the transparency to support them are the key to earning trust. For us, this means partnering with our customers to educate and inspire using our expertise and experience in providing science-backed personal care innovations. This also means offering sustainable ingredients supported by facts, paired with our commitment to helping customers develop solutions that tell their story.
At the Sensory Bar, we showed off our multifunctional eco-solutions that deliver a wonderful sensory experience, while at the Innovation Zone we showcased our newest product launches in skin and sun care: PEPHA-TIGHT® CB, and PARSOL® DHHB. And at this year’s new Sustainability Zone, we shared DSM's Biotechnologies Enabling Sustainability Solutions and our experts gave a talk on ‘Biotech – the backbone of sustainable solutions.’
In-Fact is a line that contains the most important element for more conscious choices: the truth behind the labels. More than high-performance ingredients, the line combines the best of science, research and leadership in sustainable innovation in skin care, sunscreen, makeup and hair care products. Solutions built on the latest trends and facts to deliver truly greener choices and visible effects.
It is the result of DSM's commitment to always stand by its partners at all times, to build trust and co-create the future of cosmetics.
