From April 14 to 16, 2026, at in-cosmetics Global, the specialist in cosmetic ingredient distribution and formulation will present a kit of seven formulations developed for post-aesthetic procedure care, one of the industry’s most dynamic segments.
“The trend you can’t ignore”
“Aesthetic procedures are no longer a niche,” IMCD underscores in a press release. According to market intelligence firm Spate, in 2024, close to 38 million treatments were performed worldwide — a 42.5% surge since 2020. The rise of first-time users is particularly striking: by February 2026, #FirstTimeBotox content on TikTok had climbed to over 477,000 weekly views at its peak.
IMCD argues that for beauty brands and formulators, skincare is no longer ancillary but central to the treatment strategy — supporting the skin pre- and post-procedure, and over the long term, to maximize results and reduce the frequency of interventions.
Aesthetic Care
At the heart of IMCD’s stand the Aesthetic Care (latin for care in the service of beauty) zone will showcase a formulation kit featuring seven exclusive formulations, spanning skincare, hair care, sun care, toiletries and colour cosmetics, each designed to support recovery and/or lock in results after aesthetic procedures:
- Calmantia Cutis: soothing, anti-inflammatory cream with a cooling effect, suitable for use after any facial or body procedure;
- Structura Dermis: collagen-boosting nano-emulsion serum designed to support Botox effects;
- Delicata Universalis: ultra-gentle cleanser with a soft, creamy foam suitable for post-procedure skin;
- Volumen Laborium: plumping creamy lipstick with anti-hyaluronidase and collagen-boosting actions, suitable for after lip filler;
- Regeneratio Capitis: soothing aqueous spray to help protect new hair and support regrowth post-transplant;
- Lenis Scalpium: foaming shampoo with strong humectant action to help comfort the scalp post-transplant;
- Integritas Solaris: fast-absorbing, high-protection sunscreen promoting the biological markers involved in the natural healing process of the skin.
The formulations have been developed by IMCD’s experts in its Hair Care & Toiletries Centre of Excellence in Milton Keynes, UK, and Skin & Sun Care Centre of Excellence in Paris, France, leveraging the peptides and biomimetic lipids, as well as the ceramide boosting systems and targeted actives, from the group’s portfolio.
“Post-procedure skincare is shifting from a niche concern to a mainstream opportunity. Consumers are more informed, more proactive, and they want products that genuinely support their results, not just soothe them in the short term. The Aestheticae Curae kit represents our response to this: rigorous science, smart formulation, and a real understanding of what skin needs to recover well and maintain aesthetic outcomes over time,” comments Irene Cantos, Global Director of IMCD Beauty & Personal Care.
Focus on make-up
At the Makeup Bar, IMCD will also invite visitors to experience a full-face makeup – designed in group’s Colour Cosmetics Centre of Excellence in Milan, Italy – to bring formulation performance to life and featuring a gel lip tint, cooling stick concealer, soft-focus highlighter and melting eyeshadow stick.
