“Science is expanding what beauty can be—moving beyond traditional categories into biotechnology, advanced ingredient design, and deeper insights into skin health and longevity,” New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) Chair Anushka Nadkarni said ahead of NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2026. “It also captures a broader shift: beauty is increasingly connected to wellness. Formulators are developing products that support the skin barrier, microbiome and long-term health, while advancing diversity and inclusivity across skin tones, hair types, and global consumer needs.”

“Breaking Beauty Boundaries with Science” is the theme for this year’s big tradeshow, which begins next week a May 19 ribbon cutting ay 9am inside the Javits Center in New York City.

This by-the-industry-for-the-industry environment has been nurtured by NYSCC members over the years to ensure the show reflects the evolving nature of the industry. This year, NYSCC is expecting close to 700 exhibitors across the largest exhibit floor in NYSCC Suppliers’ Day history, according to organizers.
