#dontstopbeauty reveals the power of beauty during COVID-19

During the Covid-19 crisis some industry brands have been in the headlines for applying their expertise to the emergency. LVMH switched its fragrance production lines from high-end perfumes to hand sanitizer,and many Cosmoprof exhibitors have converted supply chains to help their local communities,like INTERCOS and ERBOLARIO. Numerous brands have donated products and services to healthcare personnel to show their support.

Here at Cosmoprof we launched the #dontstopbeauty social campaign,to share how exhibiting brands and suppliers at Cosmoprof events around the world are invited to share their sanitizing and disinfecting supplies and show the world that the power of beauty never stops!

Vision 2030 tracks the shifting trends of the cosmetics industry

Cosmoprof's highly anticipated annual future trends outlook will be unveiled during the launch of Vision 2030,encompassing shifting,short-term pandemic-fuelled trends as well as longer term mega-trends influencing the future of the cosmetics industry. Cosmoprof Asia will thus confirm its role as the region's most renowned trendsetter. A series of education tracks will also be available to all exhibitors and visitors.

Sustainability takes centre stage

Sustainability,ethical initiatives and clean beauty will continue to dominate as trends in 2020. As a consequence of Covid-19,these trends will be matched with an increasing focus on product safety and transparency from the supply chain process all the way through formulation.

Cosmoprof Asia is committed to creating a responsible impact and help accelerate the industry's transition toward a more sustainable future and healthier planet. Cosmoprof has become increasingly sustainable,going paperless,using digital tools to share show information,and switching to LED energy-saving lighting. Cosmoprof Asia 2020 will also be using holder-less eco-badges for all attendees.

Cosmoprof-Asia.com's online product showcase will highlight environmentally conscious companies with labels Vegan,Cruelty-Free,Sustainable Packaging to serve as a reference for companies looking to do business with like-minded ethical brands.

-New zone for "Clean and Hygiene Supplies"

A growing demand for sanitizing and protective products has sprung up amid the coronavirus outbreak initiating a new zone at HKCEC hall 3FG for brands and suppliers of disinfecting and cleaning products and equipment,spanning personal and commercial use.

-Cosmolab x Clean Beauty

Once again,Cosmoprof Asia partners with Opal Cosmetics for the Cosmolab Project with the theme of "Clean Beauty Lab" this year.
