in-cosmetics Global launches the first Nutricosmetics Ingredient Index

12 May 2026: in-cosmetics Global, the leading global event for personal care and organised by RX, has launched its first-ever Nutricosmetics Ingredient Index, offering a clear snapshot of the ingredients driving momentum in the fast-growing beauty-from-within category.

As consumers increasingly prioritise well-being, the connection between nutrition, health and appearance is driving significant growth in the nutricosmetics market. Industry data suggests nutricosmetics are among the fastest-growing segments within nutraceuticals, with the global market projected to exceed $15.41 billion by 2030[1]. Ingredients designed to support skin, hair and overall wellbeing from within are becoming a key focus for brands, with innovation accelerating across supplements, foods and beverages.

Developed in collaboration with leading industry partners, including Euromonitor International, Kline & Company and Covalo, the index highlights the Top 10 ingredients gaining traction across the category. The top three ingredients identified in the index are collagen peptides, vitamin C and minerals, including zinc, magnesium and selenium, reflecting growing demand for ingredients that support skin health, immunity and overall wellbeing. Other ingredients featured include hyaluronic acid and plant-based actives. The index combines market data, formulation insights and exhibitor activity to reflect both current demand and future direction.

The launch of the index coincides with the introduction of the Inner Beauty Zone at in-cosmetics Global, a dedicated space showcasing the latest innovations in ingestible beauty.

Andy Matter, Event Director at in-cosmetics Global, said: “The launch of the Nutricosmetics Ingredient Index reflects the growing importance of beauty from within in the personal care industry. As consumers take a more holistic approach to health and beauty, we’re seeing increased demand for ingredients that deliver visible results while supporting long-term wellbeing. This index provides a clear view of the ingredients driving that innovation, while the Inner Beauty Zone brings them to life on the show floor.”

The Nutricosmetics Ingredient Index highlights the ingredients attracting the most attention from brands, suppliers and consumers. As interest in inner beauty continues to grow, it offers a useful reference point for understanding the ingredients shaping future innovation.
