Japan’s comprehensive cosmetics show was a hit.

The 3rd edition of Cosme Innovation’s International Cosmetics Development Expo & Conference—merged with the 1st Cosme Tokyo International Cosmetics Trade Fair June 27-29, for what organizers called a highly successful event. The show hosted 324 exhibitors (more than double the 141 in 2011), with 16,936 visitors (up over 9,069 in 2011).
 
Cosme Tokyo was newly launched this year, joining Cosme Innovation, which launched in 2010, making the event Japan’s only trade fair covering the whole cosmetics industry—from ingredients, OEM, containers/packaging to finished products. The show featured the latest trends and products, which gave the visitors both a comprehensive overview on the whole industry and detailed information in each field.

This year, the number of overseas exhibitors rose considerably, and there was also an increase in visitors from all around Asia.
