Reed Exhibitions, the organiser of the in-cosmetics, in-cosmetics Asia and in-cosmetics Brasil events, has announced the launch of in-cosmetics Korea. This new addition to the company’s portfolio in Asia will take place on 15-16 June 2015 at the COEX Exhibition Centre in Seoul.

According to Reed, the two-day event will be South Korea’s first exhibition and educational event dedicated solely to the personal care ingredients industry.

Korea is Asia’s third largest cosmetics market and has been growing steadily since 2009. As home to more than 1,500 cosmetic manufacturers and the world’s highest spenders per capita in the field of skincare and male grooming products, it offers a huge opportunity for ingredient suppliers to build their business in this lucrative - and sophisticated - market,” said Senior Exhibition Director, Lucy Gillam. “From our experience with in-cosmetics Asia, we know companies are ready - and eager - for an event which caters specifically to this region. We are therefore delighted to be working with the Korea Cosmetics Association to bring in-cosmetics to this vibrant country, bridging a very important gap in the sector.

Earlier this year, Beauteam successfully held the first edition of MakeUp in Seoul, an event dedicated to the suppliers (packaging, formulations, full service) of makeup brands.
