What ingredients are shaping the next generation of beauty products? From established skincare favourites such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to emerging concepts including exosomes, microbiome-focused skincare and NMN, ingredient innovation continues to influence how beauty products are developed and positioned for today's market.
At COSME Week OSAKA 2026, taking place from September 30 to October 2 at INTEX Osaka, Japan, beauty professionals can explore these ingredients through finished products, formulations and development solutions—and speak directly with the companies behind them.
Bringing together COSME OSAKA and COSME Tech OSAKA, the B2B exhibition covers the beauty value chain from ingredients, OEM/ODM and packaging to finished cosmetics. More than 220 exhibitors are expected to participate, offering visitors the opportunity to see, touch and compare products and technologies firsthand.

Ingredients to Watch at COSME Week OSAKA
This year's Featured Ingredients selection highlights a diverse range of ingredients and formulations across skincare, inner beauty and cosmetic development.
Advanced Beauty: Exosomes & NMN - Ingredients associated with advanced beauty formulations continue to attract attention. ANTI-AGEING puts exosomes at the centre of a multi-functional formula combining exosomes with stem cell culture ingredients and vitamin C derivatives. Meanwhile, Dr.Select brings together NMN and liposomal vitamin C in a single product, demonstrating how sought-after beauty ingredients can be combined within one formulation. For buyers and product developers, these examples provide an opportunity to examine how emerging ingredients are being incorporated into market-ready beauty products.
Rethinking Familiar Skincare Ingredients - Well-known ingredients are also being presented in new formats and concentrations. Wave Corporation reimagines hyaluronic acid through a dissolving sheet mask format, offering a different approach to delivering moisture directly to the skin. Meanwhile, aci focuses on vitamin C through a high-concentration formulation containing 25% pure vitamin C, designed for ingredient-focused skincare. These products show how established ingredients can continue to evolve through formulation, concentration and delivery format.
Microbiome & Botanical Approaches - Ingredient innovation is also expanding into approaches inspired by skin balance and plant-derived solutions. Enzyme incorporates microbiome ingredients into a lotion designed around a balanced and comfortable skincare routine. For companies exploring ingredient development, FUJI SANGYO offers specialty botanical extracts sourced from carefully selected plants, bringing plant-derived value to beauty and personal care formulations. Together, these exhibitors illustrate the range of approaches available to buyers and product developers—from finished skincare concepts to ingredients for future product creation.
