Following a record number of entries, the shortlist for the 2024 in-cosmetics Asia Awards has been announced. Winners will be revealed at the official in-cosmetics Asia Awards Ceremony on 5 November in Bangkok, Thailand.
From a total of 100 entries, 20 have been shortlisted for the awards, marking the highest number of submissions to date. Last year’s event featured 85 ingredients in the Innovation Zone, but the 2024 zone has seen a significant increase, with companies like Cargill, SEWA KASEI, Lubrizol, CLR Berlin, and Oat Cosmetics among the contenders.
This year’s shortlist was judged by an expert panel comprising experts from renowned companies such as L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble, Amorepacific, and more. Judges from other in-cosmetics Group Award events do not participate in the judging of the in-cosmetics Asia Awards.

Celebrating the innovators
The awards will also celebrate the Spotlight On Formulation Award winners, featuring over 40 formulated personal care ingredients judged live at the show, as well as honour the 9 Faces of the APAC Beauty Industry. The 9 Faces initiative celebrates the innovators, changemakers, and unsung heroes who have significantly contributed to the region’s personal care sector.
Sarah Gibson, Event Director of in-cosmetics Asia, said: “We are so proud to announce this year’s shortlist for the in-cosmetics Asia Awards, drawn from a record number of 100 entries. The quality of submissions this year made it a very tight competition, and our expert judging panel faced a difficult task in selecting the finalists. It’s the innovative contributions from our exhibitors that make this event what it is, and without them, the industry wouldn’t have achieved such progress.
“We extend our congratulations to the shortlisted nominees and look forward to celebrating the winners, including the 9 Faces of the APAC Beauty Industry, as well as the Spotlight On Formulation Award winners, at the ceremony in Bangkok soon.”
