Cosmoprof Asia 2017, the leading B2B beauty event in the Asia-Pacific region, is the ideal place to find the region's latest trends and innovations, thanks to the special events planned at the two trade fair venues: AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) (hosting Cosmopack Asia) from 14 to 16 November; and the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 15 to 17 November.

This year, the show will welcome more than 2,800 exhibitors as well as 24 country and group pavilions at both venues. Korea has been appointed as the Country of Honour as it is arguably one of the most important cosmetic manufacturing centers and markets in the region. 549 Korean exhibitors this year are showing an increase of 17 percent in number compared to last year’s show.

The light powder: from factory to experience

In collaboration with Centdegrés, Cosmoprof Asia presents "The Light Powder", a project that involves both trade fair venues in showcasing the production process and customer experience of a compact powder.

Cosmopack Asia will set up "The Light Powder Factory" at AWE, a live compact powder production line to show how a deluxe compact powder is made. The process continues in the HKCEC with "The Light Powder Experience" where the compact powder will be available in three different shades and a special palette package. This social and multi-sensory experience is available for visitors thanks to the special installations created by Centdegrés.

This project involves the joint efforts of leading packaging and OEM companies: ACME Cosmetic Components, Cosmei, MYC Packaging Innovation, Nastritex, Omnicos Group and Wish-Tech.
