Inolex heads to NYSCC Suppliers' Day this month with two Allē Awards finalists, two featured speakers, and a booth lineup of ingredients built to be better for today and tomorrow. North America's largest B2B beauty event runs May 19–20 at the Javits Center in New York; find Inolex at Booth 1807.

"Suppliers' Day is where the conversations we've been having with customers all year come together in one room," said Stephen Carter, Commercial Director for North America. "We're proud to bring new, sustainable, and impactful technologies to our customers and are looking forward to two days of engagement with new and existing partners."

Sun care

LexFeel® Sunlight MB, a 100% natural alternative to silicone-based dispersing agents, produces lighter, less-whitening mineral sunscreens with even, stable particle distribution at high metal-oxide loads, and it works with non-coated, non-nano oxides. LexFilm™ Sun Natural MB, a natural film-former compatible with both organic and inorganic UV filters, is optimized for sensory, SPF, and water resistance, and offers a clear alternative to microplastic-based polymers. Both come together in Fast Flow Sun Fluid SPF 50, a 100% natural Inolex demonstration formula built on uncoated, non-nano zinc oxide. The free from silicones and parabens formula is water-resistant and designed to spread quickly with minimal white cast.

Inolex is also giving customers an early look at a new sun care ingredient. With the FDA proposing approval of bemotrizinol (BEMT) as the first new U.S. sunscreen filter since 1999, the new ingredient is designed to stabilize organic UV filters, address BEMT recrystallization challenges, and support high filter loads while elevating sensory performance. Pre-launch introductions are available by appointment at Booth 1807.

Hair care

AminoSensyl™Ultra MB, Inolex's COSMOS-approved, 100% natural BTAC replacement, returns to the booth on the strength of Henkel, Allē, and SEPAWA award wins. The cationic amino lipid system delivers luxury textures and deep moisturization across straight to coily hair, including anti-static and anti-frizz formulas, without quaternary ammonium chemistry. New for 2026 are two LexFeel® Shine anti-frizz prototypes: "Shine Bright, Frizz Light Oil," a sprayable frizz-control treatment serum, and "Shine Bright, Frizz Light Mask," a post-conditioner rinse-off mask for detangling and frizz reduction. Both are free from silicones, quats, and parabens, with stability confirmed and frizz-and-shine performance benchmarked.

On stage

Two Inolex experts will speak on the Suppliers' Day program May 19. Director of product sustainability Jennie Creech takes the main stage with "Sustainably Driven Performance: Root to Ocean," a session on quat alternatives, from 10 to 10:20 a.m. as part of the Discover Sustainability program. Korea business director Sung Soo Riu joins the K-Beauty Immersion panel from 11:40 a.m. to noon (Room 1E15, Level 1) to discuss emerging K-Beauty trends and the role of Inolex ingredients such as LexFeel® Shine in product development. A K-Beauty kit is on display at Booth 1807.

Awards

LexFeel® Sunlight MB and Fast Flow Sun Fluid SPF 50 are finalists for the 2026 Allē Awards from Cosmetics & Toiletries. The ceremony takes place May 18, 12 to 3:30 p.m., at Second, 849 Sixth Ave., New York.

Inolex looks forward to welcoming customers and partners at Booth 1807, May 19–20, at the Javits Center.
