Your highlights at the trade fair
- Discover our wide range of cosmetic products, from liquid to solid. Thanks to our broad portfolio and additional specialized technologies such as aerosol filling and powder processing, we cover all areas of skin care and cleansing cosmetics. As a contract manufacturer and contract filler for cosmetic products, we are the partner of choice for natural cosmetics, specialty cosmetics, clean beauty and phyto cosmetics, as well as luxury cosmetics and medical applications.
- Aerosols as boosters for sun protection: Aerosols offer enormous potential for taking sun protection products to a whole new level! Although spray can technology is already well known, it is full of untapped possibilities: less oil, no crystallization, yet maximum stability and performance—propellants as solvents make it possible. Our trade fair team will be happy to show you the options on site.
- Aerosols for chemical-technical products: In various areas of application, we prefer bag-on-valve technology for contract filling of chemical products. Compared to conventional aerosol technologies, bag-on-valve offers longer shelf life, optimal spraying capabilities, complete emptying of the can, and hygienic purity thanks to separate compartments for propellant gas and air as an environmentally friendly propellant.
- New face in the sales team: Meet our newest team member, Alexander Güttner, in person.
- Trade fair team on site: André Keller (CEO), Ronnie Heusser (Sales Manager BU Care), Alexander Güttner (Project Manager Sales), Marc Devaux (Project Manager Sales), Danja Keller (Operations Manager Frike Cosmetic AG), Nikolai Czech (Aerosol Developer)

Aerosols are more stable, more pleasant, and more sustainable.
Many modern UV filters are poorly soluble. In classic pumpable formulations, this leads to instability — for example, through recrystallization — and a greasy skin feel.
The use of propellants such as dimethyl ether (DME) significantly improves the solubility of UV filters. At the same time, these dry propellants replace oily components, resulting in a lighter, faster-absorbing skin feel—without any loss of UV protection performance.
Development of sun protection products
Aerosols enable stable, highly effective, and sensorially appealing sun protection products — in line with current market trends. For over 20 years, the FRIKE GROUP has developed countless sun protection lines for national and international customers. From premium to mass market, we offer various formulations and forms: from sprays to creams to oils. On request, we develop sun protection products with mineral filters such as zinc or titanium, which protect our skin from optical radiation by reflecting, scattering, and absorbing it. Alternatively, we also offer sun protection products with organic filters to filter out the ultraviolet portion of light and thus prevent sunburn.

What we particularly noticed:
Sustainability Remains the Focus
Recyclable packaging, refill solutions, and environmentally friendly materials were the focus of many exhibitors. The trend toward "green beauty" has long been more than just a marketing promise – it is having a lasting impact on product development and brand positioning this year.
Clean & Conscious Beauty
Supply chain transparency, short INCI lists, and functional, minimalist formulations remain on trend. Consumers want cosmetics that are both effective and responsible.
Smart Packaging & Digitization
Packaging is becoming increasingly interactive: QR codes for traceability, digital product information, and NFC technology are creating new opportunities for customer proximity and trust.
Networking and Exchange
The trade fair once again provided our team with an ideal platform for personal discussions, new contacts, and concrete project ideas. Many thanks to everyone who stopped by!
FRIKE was once again the lanyard sponsor of the fair!
We're proud to be a visible part of the industry – and were supported by literally every trade fair visitor.
We're already looking forward to CB 2026!
