In-cosmetics Global 2026

Biotechnology, regeneration, multifunctionality and wellbeing

By Anaïs BONNEFOY

The 2026 edition of in-cosmetics Global confirms a trend that has been emerging over recent years: innovation is no longer limited to the launch of new ingredients, but is increasingly based on the reformulation of established active ingredients, the optimisation of delivery systems and the expansion of claimed benefits. Amidst the wide variety of new launches on display, several trends are emerging: the reinvention of long-established active ingredients, the development of solutions inspired by regenerative medicine, the extension of skincare principles to other categories, and a growing emphasis on emotional and sensory wellbeing. These trends reflect a cosmetics industry that is paying greater attention to the versatility of formulations and the interplay between efficacy, performance in use and sustainability.

Skinification in all its forms

From scalp to body: sophistication gaining ground

By Anaïs BONNEFOY

A key target of haircare routines, the scalp is now becoming a true care area. Long limited to functional gestures or dandruff control, it is today considered an extension of the facial skin.

Cleansed, exfoliated, hydrated or soothed, it now adopts the same codes as facial care: targeted actives, technical textures, precise gestures and personalised protocols. This evolution reflects a more holistic approach to care, where the balance of the scalp is seen in continuity with that of the skin.

This logic no longer stops at the scalp: under the impulse of skinification, body care is also becoming richer, with sophisticated textures, precise routines and key facial actives, in a quest for performance and overall coherence.
