Once again this year, In-Cosmetics Global Paris was a must-attend event for players in the cosmetics industry. Over the course of three intense days, our teams were delighted to welcome you to our booth to share our vision for innovation in skincare and suncare. This was a particularly memorable edition for us, as two of our innovations won over a jury of experts, rewarding our commitment to performance, efficacy and innovation.
An edition dedicated to sensory innovation
For this edition, we’ve pushed the boundaries of formulation by highlighting key concepts:
- Sensory actives, for efficacy you can feel the moment you apply them
- An explosion of colors, enhancing the product’s appeal and experience
- Transforming textures, offering evolving and surprising formulations
- Unprecedented SPF50+ protection, combining high performance with a pleasant user experience
Our goal: to create products that are not only effective but also leave a lasting impression through their sensory appeal and uniqueness.
New products that made a lasting impression
The trade show provided an opportunity to showcase several innovations that garnered significant attention:
- Our Boosting Spicule Shot, designed to revitalize the skin and our Cica Retinol Serum, which combines efficacy with skin tolerance, are in line with major market trends, particularly thanks to their concentrated blend of hero molecules that unleash their full potential.
- Hybrid suncare formulas designed to meet today’s expectations: protection, sensoriality and additional benefits:
Ultra-fluid anti-dark spot SPF50+: [water touch] technology for the lightest SPF you’ve ever felt.
CC cream SPF50+: a melting, lightweight texture that transforms for a “no-makeup” makeup effect.
Perfectint Serum SPF50: a fluid, lightweight texture for “flawless” application and a “weightless” feel.
We have also expanded our range of sticks, a format that is increasingly popular:
- Velvet Touch Stick SPF50+: a suncare stick with an invisible, matte, soft and dry finish
- Fragrance Power Stick: all the power of a fragrance in a portable format
- Icy’Pearl Stick: an instant highlighter effect combined with an ultra-fresh, bouncy sensation for a unique sensory experience
These innovations generated a great deal of excitement among visitors, confirming the growing interest in convenient formats and distinctive textures.
But beyond the trend, these formats require genuine technical expertise. Their development relies on a thorough understanding of formulation and manufacturing processes, particularly hot-molding.

A major accolade: the Sensory Bar Gold Award
This year’s event will also be remembered for a prestigious award for our teams: the Gold Award in the Sensory Bar category.
Our two award-winning suncare products:
- Blur Velvety Mousse SPF50
- Blur Cream to Powder SPF50+
won over the jury of industry professionals with their unique textures, which are both surprising and innovative.
This award recognizes our daily commitment to developing formulations that break the mold, while meeting performance standards, particularly in sun protection. It also highlights our formulation expertise and our ability to deliver distinctive sensory experiences.
Three days filled with meaningful exchanges and new opportunities
Beyond the innovations on display, this trade show was above all a wonderful opportunity to connect with others. Clients, prospects, partners, and suppliers: the discussions were numerous, insightful, and inspiring.
In-Cosmetics Global is a real asset for ALPOL Cosmétique. It allows us not only to showcase our latest innovations, but also to stay abreast of market trends, share our expertise and learn
