IFF will go beyond the traditional trade show format and introduce an immersive sensory experience – “Divergent Dialogues: Where Art Meets Science in Personal Care Formulations.” This immersive experience will showcase innovative concept formulations, offering visitors a sensory odyssey as they engage in tactile, auditory and olfactory stimulation. Featuring IFF’s ingredients from the GENENCARE® natural active range, AURIST™ functional range and scent portfolio, these concept formulations exemplify the five key market and sensorial trends that IFF has identified as trends that will shape the beauty and personal care industry in 2024:  
 

• Holistic well-being: As consumers become more health conscious and take a holistic approach to their own mental and physical well-being, beauty routines will be extended beyond looking good to maximizing pleasure, relaxation and wellness benefits. 
   
• Sensorial experiences: Consumers are prioritizing sensorial experiences in their daily routines where they choose products that turn mundane task into moments of pleasure and fun. 
   
• Budget conscious: Amid economic challenges, consumers still make room for indulgence and prioritize products that deliver on functionality and efficacy without compromising affordability.  
   
• Sustainable choices: Environmental characteristics of beauty and personal care products are becoming integral considerations in the decision-making process, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards responsible and mindful consumerism. 
   
• New trust equation: There is a shift in consumers’ behavior, emphasizing a preference for scientifically backed products with proven efficacy and safety. 

IFF’s new launches and featured products at the show include:  

• LMR Naturals’ Active Essences Collection: A fragrance ingredient range offering renewable absolutes, and supercritical CO2 extracts processed with an upcycled CO2.
