Through this new portfolio of launches, IL Cosmetics is also reinforcing its positioning as a multi product development partner, supporting brands across some of the most dynamic and fast growing beauty categories including nails, eyes, lips and face (powders and complexion).
This year, the group will showcase innovations across nails, complexion and cross category beauty collections while unveiling a new strategic approach centered on ready to market turnkey solutions, a full service development model enabling brands to access complete product concepts across eyes, lips, face and nails.
At the heart of these launches is GentleGel, IL Cosmetics’ newly revamped gel system positioned as the first damage-free gel polish.
Driven by Nail Safe Technology, the formula relies on a carefully balanced blend of oligomers and monomers designed to deliver strong adhesion while respecting the natural nail. Dermatologically tested, the system was confirmed by 84% of testers to help keep nails healthy.
Unlike traditional gel systems that often require aggressive removal techniques, GentleGel introduces a damage free removal ritual. Using warm water and a nourishing oil, the gel layer can be gently lifted without acetone or harsh filing, transforming removal into a caring nail ritual.
The system is built around a complete professional routine including Nail Prep for optimal adhesion, a vitamin enriched base coat infused with D-Panthenol( Provitamin B5), highly pigmented gel colour coats available in more than 400 shades, and a no wipe top coat delivering a plump mirror shine finish with up to 21 days of wear.
Beyond this breakthrough in nail technology, IL Cosmetics is also introducing a new approach to product development with its Ready to Market Turnkey Solutions. Designed to support brands seeking faster innovation cycles, the concept combines formulation expertise, packaging design and storytelling into fully developed beauty concepts ready for launch.
These turnkey solutions span all categories developed by the company : eyes, lips, face and nails, enabling brands to access cohesive product ecosystems designed for rapid market entry.
Cosmoprof Bologna will also mark a new chapter for the company with the launch of SKINDAY, IL Cosmetics’ new liquid complexion line and its first expansion into liquid foundation technologies.
Within this new complexion universe, IL Cosmetics will also showcase FLEX & GO, a hybrid powder innovation combining a jelly phase with highly sensory powders. The formula transforms upon application, melting on the skin to deliver seamless blending and a multidirectional luminous effect without the powdery finish typical of traditional powders.
Alongside colour cosmetics innovations, IL Cosmetics will also introduce new nail care routines inspired by skincare, designed to support nail strength and overall nail. At the heart of this approach is the MimicCeramide Strengthener & Oil duo, a 10% active ingredient serum, transformative textures, including innovative gel-in-oil formulas, delivering targeted care that reinforces and protects nails while elevating the nail care ritual.
All nail care products have been evaluated through independent laboratory panel tests, reinforcing the credibility of their performance and care benefits.
In parallel, IL Cosmetics is also introducing a new generation of mascaras and lip glosses supported by instrumental testing on hydration level for lips and volume effect for mascara for instance, enabling brands to communicate performance claims based on measurable data. This approach allows the company to deliver even more relevant and substantiated claims in categories where performance validation is increasingly important.
Finally, the company will present four new cross category limited edition concepts, one including Pepti Plump, a peptide infused collection featuring mascara, lip filler, nail polish and face powder, illustrating the growing convergence between skincare ingredients and colour cosmetics.
The second one introduces Aquaporins into a makeup line for the first time. This powerful active ingredient, whose discovery was awarded the Nobel Prize, acts as a hydration booster, delivering longer-lasting moisture beyond the traditional effect of glycerin.
With these launches, IL Cosmetics continues to expand its role as a multi category beauty innovation partner, offering brands advanced formulation expertise and ready to launch concepts across some of the industry’s most promising growth segments.
As beauty brands increasingly look for agility, differentiation and cross category innovation, IL Cosmetics aims to position itself at the forefront of this evolution, shaping the next generation of beauty products and development models.
