Inside NYSCC 2025: Trends, Insights, and What’s Next for Vaulabs

On June 3–4, the Vaulabs team attended NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2025 in New York City — one of the leading events in the world of cosmetic science, product development, and contract manufacturing.

As always, our goal was clear:

Stay aligned with what’s next in clean beauty.

Meet with the right suppliers.

And bring back insights that help our clients stay ahead.

Key Takeaway: Consumers are choosing clean — and paying for it

One recurring message throughout the event:

“Transparency, sustainability, and efficacy are no longer optional — they’re the new standard.”

Today’s customers care about what’s in their skincare, how it’s made, and where it comes from. More importantly, they’re willing to invest in products that meet these values — if the product truly performs.

At Vaulabs, this is already our baseline. Clean, non-toxic, and high-performing formulations are our starting point — not the finish line.

What we explored at NYSCC 2025

Throughout the two-day event, we connected with dozens of raw material suppliers, ingredient innovators, and packaging manufacturers. Some of the areas we focused on included:

• Next-generation actives: Including peptides, postbiotics, and biotech-based ingredients

• Green preservation systems: Compliant across global markets

• Refillable and recyclable packaging: Optimized for both retail and DTC

• Smart delivery technologies: To improve stability and absorption

Several of these suppliers are now in our vetting process, and will likely become part of Vaulabs’ extended network.
