in-cosmetics Asia delivered its most influential edition to date earlier this month in Bangkok. According to organiser RX, the show attracted high-profile industry leaders and Asian A-listers, beauty entrepreneurs and heads of some of the world’s best-known cosmetics houses.

The 2025 edition also saw record-breaking attendance, with 14,383 unique visitors, up 10% year-on-year, while 40% of the attendees came from overseas. There were more than 700 exhibitors from Southeast Asia, wider APAC markets including Japan, Korea and China, as well as Europe, the US and beyond.

The event provides a huge platform for APAC personal care ingredients, trend forecasting and formulation insight.

Biotech-driven beauty was high the agenda this year and the in-cosmetics Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Awards celebrated exceptional ingredient innovation against a backdrop of record-breaking entries, featuring 120 brand new ingredients.

Singapore-based start-up, ArrowBiome was awarded Gold in the Actives category for ArcherZyme, the world’s first clinically validated lysin for body odour control. Momentive Performance Materials claimed Gold in the Functionals category for Harmonie NatuVel Gel.

in-cosmetics Asia also launched Ask the Experts, a free interactive session giving attendees personalised advice from leading personal care specialists on formulation, product development, green chemistry, sustainability, regulations and digital brand promotion.

Event director Sarah Gibson, said: “This year’s in-cosmetics Asia has been truly momentous, both in its impact on the industry and as a clear marker of its position as the flagship event for the APAC beauty ecosystem.

“With over 21,000 visits across the three days and a 69% increase in full three-day attendance, the density and engagement at the show were remarkable.”
