IMCD Group ("IMCD" or "Company"), a leading global partner for the sales, distribution, and formulation of speciality chemicals and ingredients, will be exhibiting at in-cosmetics Asia 2026 with 12 exclusive formulations built around the theme: "Now Meets Next: See It. Feel It. Transform It.”
Visit IMCD at in-cosmetics Asia, Booth U30, from 3 to 5 November 2026, at BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand.
Beauty consumers want to see and feel a difference from the very first use. Smoothing, blurring, cooling and tone-up effects offer that instant reassurance that a product is working. Alongside this, people are increasingly looking for products that care for their skin over time, with lasting hydration, a stronger skin barrier and better resilience.
For brands and formulators, the opportunity is clear: create an experience people can enjoy today, backed by actives that keep delivering tomorrow.
12 exclusive formulations
At the heart of the IMCD booth is "Now Meets Next", a showcase of 12 exclusive concepts combining sensorial technologies for instant, visible effects with carefully selected actives for long-term benefits. Visitors can get hands-on with each formula across three interactive zones.
See It: Formulations with instant visual impact:
- AuraGlow Face Cream: a light, silky cream that gives an instant luminous glow, with brightening actives to reduce dark spots over time.
- Skin Filter Mousse Veil: a green-tinted sunscreen that instantly neutralises redness, with a soft-focus finish and soothing actives.
- Sun-Kissed Lip Syrup: a non-sticky lip syrup with vibrant colour, a juicy mirror-like shine, multi-vitamin care and UV protection.
- Hair Thickener Powder: a pomade-like hair and beard filler that instantly makes hair look fuller and covers greys, with botanical actives to support growth.
Feel It: Textures and skin-feel to explore:
- Natto Youth Facial Cream: a playful bouncy, stringy cream that melts into a powdery finish, with peptides to soften the look of expression lines.
- Cool & Soothe Milky Mist: a water-thin, highly natural milky mist that cools and calms skin while visibly reducing redness.
- Transparent Aqua Sun Gel: a clear, oil-free sun gel using water-phase UV filters, leaving virtually no visible residue.
- Glazed Bubble Tea Essence: a light, water-based essence for that fresh, dewy "glazed skin" look.
Transform It: Formulations that change before your eyes:
- Magic Renew Powder Serum: a silky powder that melts into a rich, serum-like texture, brightening skin and targeting visible signs of ageing.
- Melty Heart Sleeping Mask: a heart-shaped cube that melts into a soothing overnight mask, made for heat-stressed skin.
- Longevity Boba Cream: velvety cream capsules in a clear gel that melt into a fresh gel-cream, packed with humectants and barrier-supporting actives.
- Water-Based Sun Protection Foundation: a light, high-water foundation that bursts with fresh hydration on application, with a natural, non-greasy finish and sun protection.
