Mintel is proud to be a Knowledge Partner at this year’s Cosmetics Ingredients Expo 2026, taking place 7–8 August at Chennai Trade Centre.  

Featured Presentation:
The Future of Skincare Actives in India

Date: 7 August 2026, 11:50 AM – 12:10 PM IST

As Indian consumers become increasingly ingredient-aware and efficacy-driven, skincare brands have new opportunities to innovate with purpose. Drawing on Mintel’s latest research, this session explores evolving consumer needs, highlights emerging active ingredients from leading global innovation markets, and identifies opportunities for ingredient-led innovation in India.

What the session will cover:

  • Consumer needs are evolving: How growing ingredient scrutiny, demand for proven efficacy, and informed decision-making are reshaping skincare innovation.
  • Key opportunity areas: Hydration and barrier repair, longevity-led anti-ageing, and skin health-led brightening.
  • Ingredient opportunity mapping: Emerging and under-leveraged actives inspired by innovation-leading markets—including China, Japan, South Korea, and France—and their relevance for the Indian market.

Gain practical insights to help your brand translate these trends into actionable innovation opportunities.
