Building momentum with cosmetic professionals

Although there have been dedicated beauty sections at the annual two day show throughout its 16-year history, the event now features a beauty & spa division, a ‘Pukka Beauty Lounge’ - an area dedicated to Ayurvedic treatments, and a natural beauty theatre for industry professionals to keep up to date with the latest news, developments and market trends from presentations.

Founder of global naturals brand Aveda and owner of Intelligent Nutrients, Horst Rechelbacher is one of the professionals set to give a keynote presentation where he will touch on his latest business venture, Intelligent Nutrients, which produces a range of organic and natural certified beauty products and supplements using food grade ingredients.
