CosmeticBusiness 2026 is now behind us, and once again the event has demonstrated its importance as a key meeting point for the cosmetics industry. For VMP Chemiekontor, the exhibition provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships, establish new contacts, and exchange insights on current market developments and industry trends.
One of the most prominent trends observed this year was the growing demand for advanced skincare and treatment solutions. Particular attention was given to innovative ingredients for professional applications, such as hydrolyzed sponge, which is used in microneedling treatments to support a revitalized and visibly improved skin appearance.
“The strong interest in hydrolyzed sponge shows that innovative, results-driven treatment concepts continue to gain importance. At the same time, we see that brands and practitioners are increasingly looking for ingredients that deliver visible results and can be integrated into modern treatment concepts,” says Eva Hilgers, Sales & Product Manager at VMP Chemiekontor.
We would like to thank all customers, business partners, and organizers for the inspiring discussions and valuable exchange of ideas. The many conversations and new impulses once again made CosmeticBusiness an important industry gathering and a source of fresh inspiration for the future.
