South Africa at In-cosmetics Global 2026

The event unites top suppliers of ingredients with finished product manufacturers, providing a science-driven platform to showcase innovations and inspire the next generation of cosmetics.

The South African Country Pavilion, organised by SIPPO’s strategic BSO partner, the dtic, will showcase 15 companies, supported by partner BSOs CECOSA and Wesgro to display a range of cosmetic ingredients, including botanical extracts, essential oils, and other plant-based ingredients derived from South Africa’s biodiversity.

The three BSOs will represent the country’s cosmetics ingredients industry, identify valuable contacts to build direct links with European buyers to open doors for future business. In-cosmetics Global will also provide an excellent opportunity to gain insights on global trends and gather actionable market intelligence, ensuring that South African exporters can leverage key insights to enhance their market positioning – adding value through the joint Market Intelligence intervention with SIPPO and IPD.   

In addition, the fair also offers the opportunity for exchanges for learning and collaboration with BSOs from the SIPPO partner country, Morocco.

South Africa is excited to return to In-cosmetics Global in Paris this year. The country has gradually strengthened its presence in the sector through development of a natural ingredients ecosystem and will engage and expand connections with key stakeholders in the international network at In-cosmetics, to consolidate its position as a supplier of quality natural ingredients for this industry.
