metics Asia’s first ‘Cosmetic Conference’,
held in association with the International
Federation of Societies of Cosmetic
Scientists (IFSCC). Featuring experts from
IFSCC, L’Oréal, Shiseido and Shieling

Nikko Chemicals running a training ses-
sion on ‘skinified’ serum sunscreen with
a combination UV filter system.

tainty and supply chain disruptions.

the region demonstrated the significant
strides being made in ingredient innova-
tion and product development, evidenced
by Singapore-based Wilmar securing the
‘Silver Award’ in the ‘Innovation Zone
Best Ingredients – Functional Category’,
while China’s Bloomage Biotechno-
logy earned ‘Silver’ at the ‘Spotlight on
Formulation Award’.
Japan also made a strong impact, with
23 exhibitors showcasing their advanced
ingredients; notably, TriBeaute intro-
duced AzePore, a multi-functional mois-
turising, anti-ageing, and anti-acne agent,
while Thailand’s Speciality Natural Pro-
ducts Public Company Ltd. presented a
