Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA) Hong Kong 11. – 12. November 2025 | Trade fair and symposium for cosmetic ingredients and formulations

Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA) is a trade fair accompanied by a scientific symposium, making its debut in 2025 at the prestigious AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong—one of Asia’s most advanced exhibition centers, conveniently connected to the international airport. As a business-only event, BIFA is specifically tailored for professionals in the cosmetics industry, particularly those involved in research, development, and product innovation. The fair is organized by Informa Markets in collaboration with Cosmoprof Asia Ltd., one of the world’s leading organizers of beauty and cosmetics exhibitions. The event is further supported by a strong alliance of scientific institutions: the Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists (HKSCC), the China Society of Cosmetic Chemists (China SCC), and the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC).

Under the theme “Unlocking Beauty with Science,” BIFA drives innovation in the cosmetics industry. The focus is on advanced active ingredients, cutting-edge formulations, and technological solutions shaping the future of skin and body care. Exhibitors will showcase innovative raw materials, next-generation emulsifiers, high-performance preservative systems, and sensorially appealing texturizers—all presented within the framework of current market trends and scientific findings.

A major highlight of the event is the two-day scientific symposium, where international experts present the latest developments and research in cosmetics. Beyond the exchange of expert knowledge, the symposium emphasizes the practical transfer of know-how for product development.
Sustainability plays a key role at the fair. The spotlight is on eco-friendly concepts and green chemistry that support resource-efficient beauty solutions for the future. The exhibition demonstrates how sustainable raw materials can be effectively integrated into modern product concepts.
Networking is another core element of BIFA. A targeted B2B matchmaking program connects raw material suppliers with decision-makers from leading cosmetics companies. This is facilitated by a dedicated buyer engagement team that fosters meaningful and effective business connections.
As a platform for technological innovation and science-driven cosmetics development, Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia is a unique industry gathering for anyone looking to help shape the future of beauty.
The Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA) will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 11. November to Wednesday, 12. November 2025 in Hong Kong.
