The coveted "glass skin"—celebrated for its radiant, poreless, and reflective quality—has become a benchmark for healthy, youthful skin. This concept has also extended to "glass hair," highlighting the same sleek, luminous finish. Achieving these effects requires more than surface-level treatments; it calls for deep hydration, gentle exfoliation, and optimized skin and scalp function.

Drawing inspiration from cryotherapy—originally introduced in 1978 to alleviate arthritis and accelerate athletic recovery—this rejuvenating approach is gaining momentum in personal care. Cryo-based techniques stimulate blood flow, boost collagen production, and support lymphatic drainage. The result: reduced inflammation and puffiness, tightened pores, and visibly enhanced skin tone, all of which contribute to the long-term vitality of both skin and hair.

Join us as we explore our cryotherapy-inspired concept formulations designed to support the glass effect—naturally and holistically.

While beauty inclusivity is widely discussed, many consumers still have difficulty finding products that suit their skin type. What if we could find an active ingredient with maximum benefits for everyone’s skin? Hallstar’s Universal Beautifying Ingredient, UBI Oléoactif®, is designed to rejuvenate skin from within thanks to an innovative biological mechanism that acts on ubiquitin, a small protein present in all men and women’s eukaryotic cells. This multi-functional active has proven in vitro, ex vivo and clinical benefits. Developed from a plant co-product and showing a low environmental impact, it is aligned with Hallstar’s sustainability commitment.

Soothe the Senses:

With our world becoming a melting pot of constant sensory input, it’s no surprise that many of us feel overwhelmed. Our bodies respond to this overload through acute stress reactions that affect both mental and physical wellbeing, often leading to sensory imbalance.

Soothe the Senses is our latest concept collection, inspired by the connection between skin and the sensory centre of the brain. Each formulation transforms everyday care into a mindful ritual, blending calming textures with comfort-boosting actives to help restore emotional balance and support holistic wellbeing.

Visit Stand 820 to experience how multi-sensory textures can help redefine how we care for both skin and mind.

Together we can develop product which facilitates incredible impact for well-aging skin alongside inspiring impact in remote African communities.

Explore how the emerging science of the brain–skin axis is reshaping the future of skincare. As consumers increasingly seek holistic, wellness-oriented solutions, neurocosmetics are gaining momentum—blending neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, and natural innovation to address stress, enhance resilience, and promote skin longevity. This session highlights how aligning emotional well-being with skincare efficacy can create powerful, next-generation beauty experiences rooted in both science and self-care.

In this session, Dr. Oliver Worsley will explore cutting-edge research on the skin, scalp, and intimate microbiomes, highlighting the critical role of science-driven solutions in advancing personal care. As a co-founder of Sequential, a leading in vivo microbiome platform, Dr. Worsley will bring unique insights drawn from a robust database of over 30,000 microbiome samples. Sequential combines clinical testing for skin, scalp and intimate areas with machine learning to integrate microbiome data with clinical outcomes, and formulation science, paving the way for the next generation of targeted, effective, and evidence-based product.
