Next Level Beauty: Innovations at CosmeticBusiness 2025

Novelties in Ingredients and Manufacturing

Clean beauty cosmetics that rely on biotechnologically produced active ingredients without harmful chemicals, environmentally friendly processes and products as well as age-appropriate skincare - these megatrends will be reflected in particular among the innovations in this area in 2025.

Dreiturm:

Innovative powder foam soap - less is more

Hall 3 Stand D04

The traditional, certified contract manufacturer for cosmetic products Dreiturm presents the natural cosmetic "Better By Less". To use the product, customers first pour the natural powder into a high-quality soap dispenser and fill it up with water. Thanks to a fine sieve in the dispenser head, the soap dissolved in water is also mixed with air and whipped into a velvety lather. According to the manufacturer, the formula uses 90 per cent less packaging material and plastic. It is therefore sustainable, long-lasting and adapts to the customer's lifestyle.
