Focus on Science-Backed Beauty

The upcoming show will reflect a strong industry trend. There is growing demand for scientifically validated ingredients and efficacy claims. Brands are increasingly seeking to support product performance with biological mechanisms, clinical data, and regulatory compliance. According to the source, PCHi aims to provide a platform for suppliers, researchers, and formulators to exchange technical expertise on these topics.

Fountain Awards 2027 Details

Innovation will be further spotlighted through the PCHi Fountain Awards. Entries are now open, but only to companies exhibiting at PCHi 2027. The awards, created in 2010 and renamed in 2017, recognize breakthrough technologies across five specific categories: Active Ingredients, Pioneering Innovative Ingredients, Formulation & Functional Ingredients, Green/Sustainable solutions, and Self-Developed Ingredients from finished-product brands and OEM/ODM companies.

For the 2027 awards, Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions has introduced a refined evaluation framework. It is built around five criteria: technical excellence, scientific validity, efficacy and safety, practical application and market potential, and the quality of supporting documentation.

The judging panel will include representatives from regulatory bodies, industry associations, universities, and major beauty brands. Members of the Cosmetics Science & Technology Innovation Committee (CSTIC) will also judge. You can explore more about our expert squad of judges online.
