The O&3 2026 Trend Report identifies six major product development directions driven by evolving consumer expectations, formulation innovation, and the growing demand for transparency and sustainability. These trends reflect a new era of beauty, where performance, sensory appeal, and operational efficiency work in harmony to deliver smarter, more intuitive formulations. The report provides brands and formulators with actionable insight into how natural ingredients can be leveraged to meet these changing priorities while maintaining effectiveness and emotional resonance.
The report will be a key focal point for O&3 at in-cosmetics Global 2026, where the company will bring to life three of the trends on stand 2H110 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from 14th to the 16th April 2026.
Visitors to the O&3 stand 2H110 can discover a curated selection of samples from their extensive offering of more than 950 natural oils and speciality ingredients. Featured innovations include functional fragrances, climate-adaptive oils and upcycled, responsibly sourced ingredients, all designed to inspire formulation innovation and illustrate how natural materials can elevate product performance and emotional appeal.
O&3 will also spotlight its industry first approach to transparency with comprehensive technical documentation readily available for every ingredient. From functional cold pressed oils and nourishing butters to natural seed exfoliants, there’s something for every formulator.
