Visitors will also get to witness Malaysia’s second Glory Cup Nail Competition by Youshine and level up their beauty knowledge through sharing sessions by the supporting associations.
One returning exhibitor, HealthLand operation head John Tan said that the expo will help give their brand exposure and shed light on some of their new projects.
“We’re using this opportunity to promote our new project dubbed HealthLand Affiliate Scheme (HAS). This scheme allows the public to take up our brand and venture into the health line business,” he said.
“We used to have over 40 outlets nationwide but had to close about half of them. Now we’re actively following a roadmap to achieve that again. One of the ways will be through HAS; where the public can take part in our brand and grow together as a business.
“So far, we’ve opened up 66 licenced outlets for the public to join us,” he added.
As part of the exhibition’s objective to bridge businesses through partnerships, Beautyexpo and Cosmobeaute Malaysia 2022 is hosting its Beaute Meeting and Exclusive Buyer Programme - a business-matching programme where buyers can arrange meetings with exhibitors through their digital business engagement hub, Jublia, to explore potential opportunities seamless throughout the four days.
Buyers who complete a minimum of six meetings will also receive an exclusive invitation to the closing ceremony on Oct 1.
Beautyexpo and Cosmobeaute Malaysia 2022 is powered by Cosmoprof Asia and endorsed by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade).
The four-day expo is live from Sept 28 to Oct 1 from 10am to 7pm at Halls 4 and 5. Visitors and professionals can register at the venue to collect their badges of entry. Admission is free.
