We’re back from Cosmoprof Bologna and what a whirlwind of a week it has been!
We had an incredible time attending the 56th edition of the show this week and it was a true pleasure to connect with so many inspiring people and witness the innovation that’s shaping the future of beauty and wellness. Our highlight of our week was engaging with the amazing Californian companies we supported and working together with the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz). It was wonderful to experience how these brands are pushing the boundaries with their dedication to clean, benefit-led innovation.
