The Best 2023 Cosmetics & Personal Care Tradeshows and Beauty Industry Events List
If you’re in the business of skincare, makeup, hair care, bath and body care, fragrance, wellness, hygiene, nail care, and the like; then there is a full calendar of events waiting for you in 2023.
What you will find on the 2023 list are tradeshows and events featuring ingredient suppliers, formulation information, regulatory topics, contract manufacturers, both primary and secondary packaging, plus brand and product discovery opportunities. There are also specialized shows on the list—in tech, sustainability, Halal lifestyle, etc.—that have adequate beauty industry representation. Select business and chemistry events are included as well when they have beauty-relevant content or some other particular significance for the cosmetics and personal care industry this year.
& this year, in response to your requests, exhibitor and attendees numbers are noted where possible
What you won’t find on the 2023 list are events exclusively for the professional beauty sector (salons, spas, makeup artists, nail techs, medi spas, dermatologists, etc.) or events exclusively for exhibiting and discovering manufacturing equipment and technologies (though sections devoted to pro beauty and manufacturing equipment can be found at some of the listed shows). Most of the events listed here are in-person events, some are hybrid, and others are online only. In every case, dates and details are subject to change, and you should follow the links to get the most up-to-date info from the organizers.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who took time to comment and share notes on my LinkedIn post asking for help building this list!
