The Welcome Party, held on the show's first day, showcased the Cosmoprof & Cosmopack North America Awards in partnership with BEAUTYSTREAMS. The event celebrated the winners in six different categories. A panel of 13 judges, including retailers, brand executives, R&D experts, and press, voted for their favorites based on criteria such as concept, packaging, formulation, and uniqueness. On the supply chain side, Solésence Beauty Science won the Formulation award, while CORADIN S.A.S. won the Packaging: Design & Materials award. On the finished product side, the winners were Never Have I Ever for Make Up & Nail Products, Le Rouge Français for Green & Organic Products, Oren Medical for Skin & Body Care Products, and Small Wonder for Hair Products.
During the Welcome Party on July 23rd, an exciting announcement was made – Cosmoprof North America is launching "Beauty New York," a dedicated beauty event in New York City. This yearly event will debut in October 2025, combining both B2B and consumer elements to celebrate all aspects of the global beauty business. Liza Rapay, vice president of Cosmoprof North America, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to establish Beauty New York as the beauty industry’s flagship annual event across the globe. Especially coming off the heels of our massively successful Cosmoprof North America shows in Las Vegas and Miami, we are eager to enter this new chapter with Beauty New York!"
Cosmoprof North America showcased the latest edition of the CosmoTrends Report, curated by BEAUTYSTREAMS, highlighting the newest trends in the beauty industry. The report, supported by an onsite installation and CosmoTalks session, unveiled five trends: You Inclusivity (beauty products for textured hair and melanin-rich skin), Youth Vota (skin care and makeup for the younger generation), Private Matter (elevated intimate care and sexual wellness products), Life in Motion (skincare and body care for active lifestyles), and Sensescape (emphasis on sensorial and feel-good formulas). The CosmoTrends Report is an essential guide for the latest innovations in the beauty industry.
CosmoTalks, Cosmopack Education, and The Entrepreneur Academy’s sessions and workshops were a highlight of this year’s showcase, with sold-out and standing-room-only education sessions buzzing with attendees.
