Two days in September, hundreds of business opportunities and an exclusive collaboration with MakeUp in NewYork

 8 February 2016 – The inaugural in-cosmetics North America, the latest addition to the world-leading portfolio of personal care ingredients events, will take place from 7-8 September at Manhattan’s Pier 36 venue. With a dual focus on product innovation and technical education, the event will provide US-based brands and manufacturers with a chance to source the latest, most innovative raw materials.

Alongside in-cosmetics’ trademark business focus, technical education will take centre stage. Visitors will hear from leading international industry experts, who will discuss some of the personal care industry’s most pertinent subjects, while a Formulation Lab on the show floor will provide hands-on practical training for R&D professionals.

Additionally, a series of Innovation Seminars, Formulation Displays and Marketing Trends presentations will enable visitors to identify products, techniques and industry trends, to inspire the next generation in personal care products.

More than 100 suppliers from 20 countries have already signed up, including companies from France, Germany, India, Brazil, Argentina, Japan and South Korea. All will showcase innovative ingredients and technologies, and many will be in the US for the first time.

The organisers of in-cosmetics North America have also revealed that private rooms will be available for business meetings with chosen suppliers, helping to increase new business opportunities and enabling manufacturers and suppliers to maximise their productivity at the event.

The event’s Lower East Side location will enable visitors to gain easy access to accommodation and restaurants in Manhattan, as well free transportation from Penn Station, Central Park and selected hotels.

in-cosmetics North America will also join forces with the highly-targeted MakeUp in NewYork show – which takes place on the same dates – to deliver a unique experience to R&D, Marketing and Purchasing teams planning to attend the events. Just 20-minutes away, at Brooklyn’s Grand Prospect Hall, visitors will find innovative formulation and packaging solutions for colour cosmetics.

Together, the events provide an opportunity for brands to meet suppliers throughout the cosmetic and personal care supply chain. Visitors will be able to take advantage of a free shuttle operating between the two venues, gaining access to a host of complementary networking and education opportunities.

Lucy Gillam, Director of the in-cosmetics Group, commented: “in-cosmetics and MakeUp are the strongest sources of innovative cosmetics ingredients, formulation services, packaging, accessories and market intelligence worldwide. We’re delighted to be teaming up in New York to serve the global personal care industry.”
