Date: June 10-11, 2026 | Munich, Germany
CosmeticBusiness 2026, the international supplier expo for the cosmetics industry, concluded its two-day run at the MOC in Munich with a focused agenda on next-generation ingredients and sustainable packaging solutions. The event, held under the theme “Shaping Trends into Products,” brought together raw material suppliers, packaging manufacturers, and brand developers from across the global beauty supply chain.
Key Highlights:
- Advanced Delivery Systems: New microneedling sponge spicule technologies and lipid encapsulation systems were showcased, enabling deeper penetration of active ingredients for enhanced skincare efficacy.
- Sustainable Packaging Drive: Monomaterial polypropylene and recycled glass solutions took center stage, with Quadpack, Aptar Beauty, and Treffpack demonstrating refillable and propellant-free designs aligned with the EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR).
- Biotech and Bio-Inspired Actives: Marine-derived ingredients from green seaweed and apple blossom-based calorie restriction mimicry actives were presented as the next frontier in functional skincare formulation.
Industry Context:
As the global cosmetics market continues its expansion driven by clean beauty demand and tightening regulations, innovation at the supplier level has become a critical competitive differentiator. European markets in particular are accelerating requirements for recyclability, biodegradability, and ingredient transparency across the entire cosmetics supply chain.
