Technical access to 30,000 personal care ingredients: new programme announced

The collaboration will enable the users of in-cosmetics websites to access SpecialChem’s Universal Selector™ – an online database of cosmetics ingredients – and the exhibitors of the in-cosmetics shows to be highlighted in the Universal Selector™.

The Universal Selector™, which gathers around 30,000 datasheets of cosmetics and personal care ingredients, is accessible from www.in-cosmetics.com​ and each in-cosmetics event website.

Enriched content​

Lucy Gillam, Director, in-cosmetics Group at Reed Exhibitions, says the partnership will offer industry professionals a new level of content access,

“Enabling the users of our in-cosmetics Global website to access the SpecialChem Universal Selector™ will enrich the content we deliver to the cosmetics community, providing access to tens of thousands of products,​” she explains.

“We are also pleased to enable the exhibitors at the in-cosmetics Global show to be highlighted in the cosmetics Universal Selector™ wherever it is displayed​”.                  

“Our Universal Selector™ aims to make product selection faster and richer by giving formulators the technical data they need on all the cosmetics and personal care ingredients in the world. We especially put a lot of effort into tracking and adding into the Universal Selector™ all the latest products that are launched, which is real added value for the users,​” says Christophe Cabarry, SpecialChem’s founder and CEO.

Benefits for users ​

The two companies note that the following will be the three key benefits of the Universal Selector™ on the in-cosmetics Global website for users:

• Enhanced searches with more than 10 search dimensions for a richer and more detailed product selection

• Access to new products’ data sheets as soon as they are launched

• Data quality thanks to permanent crowd-sourced feedback from users.
