From ‘killing the beauty consumer’ to ‘Blue Beauty’
Natural Beauty Show reveals its inspiring speaker programme
At MalmöMässan, the Natural Beauty Show will host a variety of inspiring talks on 16-17 November. With the sustainability sector quickly disrupting the beauty industry, this speaker programme is an opportunity for Nordic beauty retailers and professionals to gather and debate about this thriving market.
This year the event has launched a brand new feature area called the Beauty Bar. This area will offer a more relaxed environment for the important beauty industry to network, grab a coffee, host meetings and catch some exciting sessions in the ‘speakers’ corner’.
Beauty trailblazers from NATRUE, AllergyCertified, Ecovia Intelligence, Balade En Provence, Glow Organic, DeltaDerma, Skandinavisk SR ApS, NOC Sweden, KOSMETIK; BEAUTYNEWS.dk; Aftonbladet; and Daisy Beauty will take to the stage across the two days. They will touch upon topics like greenwashing, ‘Blue Beauty’, microbiota in cosmetics, certifications, sustainable beauty trends and more.
Event Director Melina Viking comments: “With sustainability in focus, we are very proud to have the Natural Beauty Show run alongside Natural Beauty & Health Show – presenting an all-encompassing event for the industry to source new products, ready for the Scandinavian markets. Buyers joining us in Malmö can expect a taste of what the future of sustainable beauty has to offer!”
A new private influencer event – titled ‘influencing green beauty’ – will run alongside the trade show on 16 November, which invites 20 beauty influencers to learn about how to work with the latest green beauty brands. The exclusive session with retailer and beauty consultant Mel Jenkinson will cover the importance of sustainable beauty and how to build a successful influencer business. This will be followed by the prestigious Who’s Who in Green Beauty Scandinavia Awards at 4pm.
