Gulbrandsen Technologies is pleased to announce that our Personal Care team will be attending in-cosmetics Latin America 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 23–24.

As one of Latin America’s leading events for personal care ingredients, in-cosmetics Latin America brings together ingredient suppliers, formulators, manufacturers, brand owners, researchers, and other professionals from across the beauty and personal care industry. The event provides an opportunity to discover new ingredient technologies, exchange technical knowledge, explore emerging market trends, and build relationships across the global personal care community.

For Gulbrandsen Technologies, the event represents an opportunity to connect with customers and industry partners across the Latin American market while learning more about the evolving needs of personal care formulators and brands.

Connecting Innovation with the Personal Care Industry

The personal care industry continues to evolve as consumers look for products that combine effective performance, skin compatibility, convenience, and sustainability.

Ingredient innovation is playing an increasingly important role in helping formulators respond to these expectations. Advances in formulation science and ingredient technology are creating opportunities for products that deliver reliable performance while addressing changing consumer preferences.

Our Personal Care team is looking forward to engaging with formulators and industry professionals at in-cosmetics Latin America to better understand these changing needs and explore opportunities for collaboration.

The event’s focus on science, innovation, and sustainability closely aligns with the direction of the personal care ingredients industry.

Exploring Opportunities in Antiperspirant and Deodorant Formulation

Sweat management and odor control remain important categories within personal care, with formulators working to balance efficacy, sensory characteristics, skin comfort, and formulation requirements.

At Gulbrandsen Technologies, our Personal Care portfolio includes solutions designed for these applications, including antiperspirant actives and deodorant ingredients.

Antiperspirants and deodorants serve different functions. Antiperspirants are formulated to reduce perspiration using recognized antiperspirant active ingredients, while deodorants primarily address body odor without reducing sweat production. Aluminum-based active ingredients are the established category of antiperspirant actives, while ingredients such as Zinc Ricinoleate can be used in deodorant formulations for odor control.

As consumer preferences continue to develop, the industry is also exploring formulations that address sensitive skin, sustainability, natural-origin positioning, and different product formats.

Our recent work and technical content around antiperspirant formulation reflects several of these areas, including skin compatibility, environmental conditions, formulation performance, and evolving ingredient technologies.

Understanding the Needs of Latin American Formulators

Latin America’s diverse markets present exciting opportunities for personal care innovation. Climate, consumer preferences, product formats, and local market requirements can all influence formulation development.

Environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity can influence perspiration and the way personal care products perform. Formulators therefore need to consider the intended use environment when developing products for sweat management and daily personal care.

These considerations make technical collaboration especially valuable. By engaging directly with formulators and product developers, ingredient suppliers can gain a better understanding of the challenges brands face and work toward solutions that meet specific formulation requirements.

Innovation Driven by Changing Consumer Expectations

Consumers are increasingly looking for personal care products that deliver effective performance while fitting their individual preferences and values.

Trends such as skin sensitivity, sustainability, personalization, longer-lasting performance, and innovative delivery technologies are influencing the development of new personal care formulations. Our research into the future of antiperspirant actives highlights the growing interest in technologies such as time-release formulations, microencapsulation, and more personalized approaches to sweat management.

At the same time, sustainability continues to influence ingredient development and product design. Personal care brands are increasingly considering responsible sourcing, environmentally conscious formulation strategies, and packaging solutions alongside product performance.

These developments make events such as in-cosmetics Latin America valuable platforms for sharing ideas and discovering where the industry is heading next.

Meet the Gulbrandsen Technologies Personal Care Team

Our Personal Care team will be in São Paulo on September 23–24 and looks forward to meeting customers, formulators, manufacturers, brand owners, and industry partners attending the event.
