Expo Center Norte - Blue Hall, 30 September - 1 October More than 2,800 visitors attended the second annual in-cosmetics Brasil exhibition last week. With 30 percent more industry professionals joining the show this year, the event has cemented its position as the cosmetics and personal care ingredients show to attend in the Latin America region.

From 30 September - 1 October, at the Blue Pavilion in São Paulo’s Expo Center Norte, the event welcomed international visitors from countries including Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Venezuela and the USA. Impressively, this year’s event saw a 40 percent increase in foreign visitors, compared to the 2014 event.

Daniel Zanetti, in-cosmetics Brasil Exhibition Manager, said: “We are delighted with the outcome of in-cosmetics Brasil 2015, especially given that 46 percent of our visitors were cosmetics manufacturers, demonstrating the very high calibre of this year’s visitors. By the end of the second day we had more space reserved for next year’s exhibition than the total floor space for in-cosmetics Brasil 2015, which shows we’re on the right track.”

The show also featured a new award, the ITEHPEC (Institute of Technology and Studies for Cosmetics, Toiletries, and Fragrances) Innovation Award, which recognised manufacturers of ingredients that contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the Brazilian cosmetics, toiletries and fragrance industry, through the implementation of innovative projects.

ITEHPEC, the innovation and technology arm of ABIHPEC (Brazilian Association of Cosmetics, Toiletries and Perfumery Industry), announced the award at the event and the winners were revealed by João Carlos Basilio, President of ABIHPEC, at a ceremony attended by over 500 people. BASF took first place, with Chemyunion and Induchem coming second and third respectively.

This year the Innovation Zone showcased 18 of the most innovative ingredients launched in the past six months.

In addition to raw materials, the space also featured a selection of finished products selected by Mintel, who explained the characteristics of these products in specific presentations.
