Cosmetorium 2026 will take place on 21–22 October 2026 at La Farga, Barcelona.
This leading cosmetics trade show serves as a major meeting point for professionals across the cosmetics and personal care industry in Spain and beyond.
Focus Areas & Topics
Cosmetorium covers all stages of cosmetic development: from raw materials and ingredients to formulation, manufacturing, packaging, and testing.
It spotlights the latest trends in beauty-tech, sustainable cosmetic ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, lab and testing technologies, and regulatory compliance.
Moreover, the event highlights innovative formulation techniques such as biotechnology-derived actives, neurocosmetics, next-gen photoprotection, and inclusive or personalised cosmetic solutions.

In 2025, Cosmetorium welcomed more than 3,500 professionals and featured over 140 exhibitors — setting a new record for attendance and exhibitor participation.
Attendees include R&D directors, formulation chemists, product developers, packaging experts, regulatory specialists, and procurement or sourcing managers from cosmetic brands and manufacturers.
The exhibition draws a broad cross-section of the market — from raw-material suppliers to contract manufacturers — ensuring diverse interaction across the value chain.
Outstanding Opportunities
Cosmetorium provides companies with a platform to launch new cosmetic ingredients, formulations, packaging solutions, or technologies directly to decision-makers. Transitioning from development to market becomes faster because many stakeholders convene in one place.

Exhibitors can meet potential partners from raw-material supply, contract manufacturing, packaging, lab and testing services — enabling full-chain sourcing or outsourcing in a single event.
Finally, the event’s technical program, workshops, and awards help shape industry trends, giving attendees insight into regulatory changes, market demands, and emerging consumer preferences.
