Earlier this year, consumer market research firm NIQ reported the North American beauty market is “showing a robust growth rate of +7.8%…supported by increasing incomes and the influx of new consumers.” With the global clean beauty market projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2024 to 2030, according to a recent Grand View Research report, the relationship between the growing market and the impact of the clean beauty space cannot be ignored.
As the beauty industry continues to become smarter, cleaner, and increasingly connected to wellness, NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2025 has dedicated educational sessions, immersive experiences, and forward-thinking exhibitors to explore how stakeholders are tackling sustainability and wellbeing.
Insights into Advancing Sustainability in Cosmetics and Household
For attendees interested in learning more about these spaces, start with Advancing Sustainability in Cosmetics and Household, a robust program tackling formulation strategies that reduce environmental impact while boosting product performance.
Developed in partnership with the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) and the European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients (EFfCI), the track bridges the needs of both beauty and household care markets.
Hot-button topics include:
- Designing for biodegradability and end-of-life.
- Upcycled and circular economy ingredient strategies.
- Carbon footprint analysis in formulation development.
- Sustainable preservation and multifunctional ingredient systems.
First-ever Formulators’ Tour, Microbiome: Inside Out Beauty, and more
Meanwhile, the debut of the Formulators’ Tour: The Wellbeing of Water offers a sensory and scientific exploration of water-saving, waterless, and water-enhancing innovation. Whether it’s anhydrous formats, aquatic-derived actives, or ingredients that mimic water’s texture and performance, this guided tour puts hydration front and center in a resource-conscious way.
Also making waves is the Microbiome: Inside Out Beauty track. This educational thread goes beyond skin deep to examine how gut-skin axis research, biome-friendly ingredients, and personalized wellness regimens are shaping product development.
With AI also entering the conversation, attendees can expect a look at how data and digital tools are being used to create microbiome-optimized beauty routines.
Attendees can also explore wellness-inspired education in the Formulation Forum, where topics range from pet care product development to inclusive shade matching. This opportunity is complimentary, as is the educational section Hot Topics from the MainStage, which will feature topics like Truth in Beauty, Consumer Shifts in Ingredients, and more.
Innovation in sustainable beauty and wellness also extends to an investment in fostering and encouraging future cosmetic chemists to join the field. In support of NYSCC’s continued mission to support the workforce, Suppliers’ Day 2025, the popular Future Chemists Workshop, will return this year, as will the organization’s mentor mixers and career development session opportunities.
In every case, the message is clear: today’s beauty consumers demand efficacy with ethics, and brands must deliver both.
