The organic cosmetics sector is booming and the number of brands is growing. The demand for natural ingredients is therefore also expected to grow in the coming years.
Today, more than 17,000 ingredients are available on the COSMOS database. The Cosmébio Ingredients Meeting on 26 October therefore aims to provide a showcase for ingredients from suppliers, whatever their size or positioning. Many cosmetic innovations are based on ingredients, so it is imperative to keep abreast of the latest developments in this field.
