Every vertical along in the supply chain is here, from ingredients to fragrance, from manufacturing to machinery, from packaging to labeling, and so much more.

INGREDIENTS, RAW MATERIALS, AND ALL THINGS FRAGRANCE

The Fragrances & Ingredients Zone, located in Hall 20, is where cosmetic and personal care ingredient makers, raw material suppliers, and distributors are showing both new and classic ingredients.

The Fragrances & Ingredients Zone is an accessible hub for ingredient discovery, where legacy suppliers and pioneering startups showcase familiar ingredients and innovative solutions, including sustainable beauty solutions. It is also where fragrance houses, fragrance ingredient suppliers, and fragrance manufacturers turn out in force.
