Title: Nutricosmetics unpacked: The new science of ingestible skincare

Speaker:
Aarthi Janakiraman, research director, Everest Group

Synopsis: This session looks at how nutricosmetics are bringing nutrition science and skincare closer together, as consumers increasingly look for visible benefits for skin, hair, nails, and blemish-prone skin without adding extra steps to their daily routine. It will explore why the category is moving beyond single-benefit supplements toward more holistic wellness solutions, and why easy-to-use formats such as sticks, shots, and effervescents are gaining traction. It will also look at the science shaping the space, from delivery technologies and the gut–skin–hair axis to ingredients beyond collagen, including ceramides, hyaluronic acid, carotenoids, polyphenols, and key minerals, as well as the growing role of AI-led personalisation.

11:25 – 11:40 CEST
Title: Inside-out beauty: The science and systems powering the next generation of nutricosmetics

Speaker:
Leo Salvi, technical director, The Good Pill Co

Synopsis: Nutricosmetics are evolving from beauty add-ons into daily, science-led wellness rituals. This session explores the key shifts driving inside-out beauty, from changing consumer behaviours and holistic health positioning to the growing role of format in building adherence. A central focus will be the transformation of ingredients: the move from single actives to standardised, mechanism-driven systems, and the rise of biotechnology as a major enabler of next-generation bioactives. Fermentation, precision peptides, and well-characterised compounds are delivering improved consistency, bioavailability, and reproducible outcomes.

11:40 – 12:30 CEST
