Inside Cosmoprof Miami 2026: Clean Beauty Momentum, CEW Connections, and What We Brought Back to Vaulabs
Cosmoprof North America 2026 in Miami was more than a trade show - it was a barometer for what’s next in beauty.
Held at the Miami Beach Convention Center, this year’s event brought together thousands of brands, manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers under one roof, and Vaulabs was proud to be in the heart of it.
As a U.S.-based clean beauty manufacturer, we attended to stay ahead of product innovation, expand our supplier relationships, and, most importantly, connect with the founders we serve.
A CEW Meetup That Mattered
One of the highlights of the trip was our founder’s participation in the CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) member event — an exclusive networking session that brought together some of the most ambitious women in beauty.
CEW continues to be a driving force for industry change, and Natalie’s membership underscores our commitment to staying actively engaged in the conversations shaping the future of skincare, haircare, and clean product innovation.
“What stood out most was how many women-led brands are thinking not just about product, but about purpose. That’s where we thrive.” – Natalie Vaulin, Founder & CEO, Vaulabs
Walking Our Clients Through the Show
This year, we had the opportunity to guide several of our clients, including first-time brand founders and established businesses — through the booths of top-tier packaging, raw material, and fragrance vendors.
This hands-on experience allowed them to:
• Touch and compare packaging formats in real time
• Discover sustainable and certified ingredient suppliers
• Talk directly with regulatory experts and formulator partners
• Learn how innovation and compliance can coexist
Whether you’re launching your first SKU or scaling a full line, we believe education empowers execution and that’s exactly what these client walkthroughs delivered.
CosmoTalks: Insights That Shape Strategy
We also attended CosmoTalks, the educational seminar series featuring global thought leaders in formulation, branding, marketing, and supply chain strategy.
Some standout topics this year included:
The Rise of Waterless and Concentrated Beauty
Ingredient Traceability and Tech Integration
MoCRA Compliance for U.S. Launches
Sustainability Beyond Packaging
For Vaulabs, these aren’t just buzzwords — they’re part of the systems we build for every founder we work with.

Our presence at Cosmoprof Miami wasn’t just about trend-spotting — it was about staying in alignment with what modern beauty consumers and retailers demand: clean formulations, smart compliance, and innovative delivery.
