in-cosmetics Global, the personal care ingredients show, comes to Barcelona for its 2027 edition, running from Tuesday 6 to Thursday 8 April at Fira Barcelona Gran Via in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.

The 2026 edition in Paris drew a record of more than 12,500 unique visitors, mostly from outside the host country, so a large share of the audience will be booking in-cosmetics Global hotels in the same few weeks. Rooms along the Gran Via and around Plaça d'Espanya are the closest, with Eixample and Sants a short ride away.
