in-cosmetics 2008 heads to Amsterdam

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands—The leading global business platform for personal care ingredients, in-cosmetics, is taking place from April 15 to 17, 2008 at the RAI Amsterdam. More than 400 exhibitors will provide a mix of innovation, expertise and networking opportunities; and the show will offer a huge range of scientific, technical and commercial content.

An essential stop will be the high-profile Cosmetic Science Conference, presented by international scientists and technologists discussing the latest developments in “naturals” and skin-aging.

The new “Innovation Zone” feature will provide a “one-stop” location to identify major industry ingredients and raw materials launched by exhibitors. Mintel will host a series of interactive sampling and walk-in consultancy sessions.

Newly launched products will illustrate the four industry trends that are predicted to be big in 2008:

• Beauty Food—food and beverage products with beauty claims and the use of food ingredients in beauty products;
• Authenticity
—evolution of natural, organic, ethical, free-from and carbon/waste reduced products;
• Customization
—products formulated to target specific user groups: ethnic, kids and teens, and men’s toiletries;
• Faux Genomics
—products that push frontiers of scientific research into DNA and cell biology.
