Sarah Gibson, Event Director of in-cosmetics Asia, said: “We are so proud to announce this year’s shortlist for the in-cosmetics Asia Awards, drawn from a record number of 100 entries. The quality of submissions this year made it a very tight competition, and our expert judging panel faced a difficult task in selecting the finalists. It’s the innovative contributions from our exhibitors that make this event what it is, and without them, the industry wouldn’t have achieved such progress.
“We extend our congratulations to the shortlisted nominees and look forward to celebrating the winners, including the 9 Faces of the APAC Beauty Industry, as well as the Spotlight On Formulation Award winners, at the ceremony in Bangkok soon.”
