CH-Bioforce at in-cosmetics Global 2026 — new ingredients, new collaborations

CH-Bioforce is excited to return to in-cosmetics Global, the leading global event for personal care ingredients, taking place in Paris, France on 14–16 April 2026. This year, we are sharing a stand with Nordic Bioproducts Group — visit us at booth 1A80.

A full portfolio of Finnish biomaterials for modern cosmetics

At in-cosmetics Global 2026, we will be showcasing our full ingredient portfolio, developed using our proprietary BIOFORSENSE® technology, which transforms Finnish plant side streams into high-performance cosmetic ingredients:

XYLENSE® (hemicellulose) — COSMOS-certified emulsifier, film former and humectant with proven skin barrier support and superior sensory performance.

LIGNENSE® (lignin) — COSMOS-certified multifunctional ingredient with antioxidant, UV-absorbing and validated antimicrobial potential.

CELLENSE™ (cellulose) — versatile biomaterial for rheology modification and texture engineering.

Introducing HAIRFORSENSE™

The highlight of this year’s stand is HAIRFORSENSE, our latest innovation for microplastic-free haircare. Derived from oat husk side streams and engineered using BIOFORSENSE® technology, HAIRFORSENSE is designed to replace fossil-based styling polymers while delivering curl definition, frizz control and flexible hold — without compromise on performance.

Experience the ingredients in finished formulations

Come and explore our ingredients firsthand in finished formulations at booth 1A80. Cosmetic chemist Jaana Ailus from Laponie Ltd. will also be at the stand on 14–16 April at 13:00–14:00, sharing practical formulation insights and real-life examples of how these materials perform in modern cosmetic products.

We look forward to connecting with formulators, R&D teams and brands at one of the year’s highlights. See you in Paris!
