In-cosmetics Global 2026: Azelis to unveil beauty concepts inspired by sustainability and sensoriality

Azelis is set to launch a beauty concept at In-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris, France (April 14–16). The Belgian specialty chemicals distribution company will showcase 16 ready-to-use formulations focused on growing consumer demands in sustainability, well-being, and sensoriality.

Developed by Azelis’s Personal Care laboratories across EMEA, the concept is said to be an examination of how beauty products can adapt to evolving lifestyles, circumstances, and consumer behaviors. It features six themes that aim to demonstrate how sustainable ingredients, formulation science, and sensoriality can interact to drive beauty innovation.

“In-cosmetics Global provides an opportunity to demonstrate how innovation, science, and creativity can shape the future of beauty. With this new concept, our teams across EMEA explore how beauty could evolve toward 2030, from sensorial expression to more sustainable formulation approaches, while providing our customers with practical ideas they can translate into new product developments,” says Evy Hellinckx, CEO of Azelis EMEA.

Azelis combines market insights, technical knowledge, and formulation capacities to be an innovation partner that “supports customers in developing differentiated beauty products.”

Themed formulations

Sustainability and sensoriality drive Azelis’ latest beauty concept.

The formulations are organized in six thematic categories.

Capture Light features sun care formulations that focus on increased brightness and luminosity. The Capture Change category addresses cleansing solutions. Capture You includes color cosmetics aimed at emboldening self-expression and identity.

For hair care formulations, Capture Nature features nature-inspired ingredients with high efficacy. Capture Time provides skin care formulations designed for longevity. Meanwhile, Capture Emotion taps sensoriality and well-being in its body care formulations.

In addition to these six themes, Azelis will showcase four formulations developed within its Lighthouse program, focusing on texture and sensoriality: The buildable Creamy Cupcake Comfort Blush, Bubble Tea Body Blush hydrating gel, lightweight Happy Cloud Face Sorbet, and Choco Dream Body Butter Bar solid body butter.

Lighthouse programs analyze evolving formulation trends and developing technologies, allowing Azelis to develop its concepts in alignment with market demands.
