in-cosmetics Global has announced the 2023 finalists for the Innovation Zone Best Functional and Active Ingredient, Green Ingredient and Rising Star awards. The winners will be announced at the event in Barcelona on March 28, 2023.
For the Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award, judges will be looking for the ingredients that best combine science and product features in a way that demonstrates substantial benefits to both manufacturers and end-users when compared to existing ingredients.
The Green Ingredient Award, in partnership with Ecovia Intelligence, is set to recognize ingredients that make a significant contribution to the industry’s efforts to be more sustainable. The ingredients were required to have been launched within the last two years and have current applications in cosmetics products.
And finally, the Rising Star Award recognizes a first- or second-year exhibitor for their range of offerings, innovation and commodity, as well as how solutions-orientated their product range is.
