As Indian consumers become increasingly ingredient-aware and efficacy-driven, skincare brands have new opportunities to innovate with purpose.

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.
