Morphosis - Restructure Hair Leave-in Molecular Booster
Hall (Pavilion) and Stand Number: Hall 32 - Stand A27-B28This hair treatment is a biomimetic restructuring, anti-breakage leave-in serum to deeply reconstruct, strengthen, and protect both scalp and hair fiber. The formula’s key ingredient is a patented biomimetic micro-complex derived from upcycled milk thistle seeds, rich in peptides and antioxidants, to repair damaged keratin, stabilize bonds, and help prevent hair breakage. Arginine and inositol also contribute to the formula’s hair-strengthening qualities. Inositol stimulates fibroblast metabolism by increasing cellular energy, oxygen consumption, and the production of elastin and collagen, improving scalp elasticity. And inositol in synergy with arginine supports anchoring protein production for the hair bulb. Additionally, hyper-fermented rice water with amino acids, proteins, and antioxidants enhances hair strength, shine and hydration; vegetal collagen from fermented soy stimulates scalp microcirculation and helps counter scalp aging; and a biotechnological guar gum derivative envelops the hair fiber, shielding it from heat.
Vagheggi Phytocosmetici / Nuon Medical - 75.25 Longevity Day Cream + Efficacy
Hall (Pavilion) and Stand Number: Hall 30 - Stand D40-E39This longevity-boosting formula is crafted with a Nuon Medical skin care device in the product’s cap, which enhances the product’s skin benefits. The formula is shaped around the longevity molecule NAD+ Activator, that delivers a rejuvenating effect of around 8.2 years. It stimulates regenerative processes, regulates energy production, and helps prevent inflammaging. The ingredient thus supports the skin in counteracting wrinkle formation, collagen loss, and the build-up of cellular waste. Derived from plant sprouts, this active boosts the production of NAMPT, addressing most of the 12 hallmarks of longevity. And lapacho bark extract helps protect DNA telomeres, contributing to delayed cellular aging and senescence. It strengthens the dermal-epidermal junction and stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This in turn helps reduce wrinkles and restores firmness and radiance. After application, the device – combining red light of 630 nm, microcurrent, heat, and vibration – is used for three minutes.

Ener-GY Plus™ is a biotechnological active ingredient that combines upcycled citrus lemon fruit extract, glyceryl glucoside, glycerin, and potassium sorbate, and is designed as a “cell energizer,” to optimize mitochondrial activation in the skin. Added to this, the formula’s water-infused powder technology imparts an immediate sensation of freshness and hydration onapplication, infusing make-up with skin care benefits.

QPearl® - CycleOne
Hall (Pavilion) and Stand Number: Hall 21 - Stand M9CycleOne by QPearl is composed of a dispenser made from recyclable stainless steel and Tritan™, a BPA-free plastic, which houses cleansing pearls made from a patented smart biomaterial. The pearls are composed of protein chains that break down upon contact with water to release a concentrated cleansing gel. This system eliminates single-use plastic and reduces CO₂ emissions across the entire value chain by up to 99%, from sourcing and production to transport, storage, and disposal. One 2 ml pearl equates to 30ml of traditional shower gel or shampoo, and the formula is stable in humid environments, activating only under running water. The innovation is targeted at both consumers who value sustainable innovation and luxury hotel chains.

Added to this, the formula’s microbiome-supportive probiotic system supports a balanced periungual microbiome and helps rebalance a stressed nail environment. And the exosome-inspired botanical complex – including Malus domestica fruit extract, Citrus reticulata fruit extract, and Carica papaya fruit extract – enhances the cellular communication environment, optimizing biological conditions for nail growth, while sodium hyaluronate offers multi-level moisture. The serum is formulated with a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture, and has a natural pink tone thanks to its vitamin B12 content.
Babyology - Natural Baby Wash & Shampoo
Hall (Pavilion) and Stand Number: Hall 14 EG - Stand 48A baby cleansing formula made from 100% edible-sourced ingredients, conceived to move beyond merely natural claims, so the ingredients are selected with compatibility for babies’ highly permeable skin in mind.

The formula’s key ingredients include sodium lauroyl oat amino acids, a complex that acts as a gentle natural cleanser with skin conditioning properties and Rosa damascena flower water which has hydrating, soothing, and softening benefits. The product has been clinically tested under pediatric supervision on babies and toddlers with sensitive skin, aged between six months and three years, and 100% of participants completed the four-week study with no reported skin reactions or adverse symptoms. And a 28-day instrumental study using Corneometer® CM 825 demonstrated an average 5% increase in skin hydration after regular use. The product is EWG-verified.

Lubicz Gardens - Seashells Whisper Stone Candle
Hall (Pavilion) and Stand Number: Hall 26 - Stand B65-C66This natural soy wax candle is housed in a hand-glazed ceramic vessel inspired by the Baltic coast. The design has been created to evoke a seaside stone that’s been shaped by nature over time, and as it’s hand-crafted, each design is unique. The candle’s fragrance, meanwhile, is inspired by the sound of waves and the sea breeze, and spotlights top notes of pine and sea notes; heart notes of sea salt, wood, and amber; and base notes of musk and freesia. The fragrance has been developed to complement the candle’s form and material, to create a narrative rooted in place, memory, and atmosphere. After the candle has burned, the vessel is intended to be used as a decorative or functional home accessory, supporting a low-waste and sustainable ethos.
