Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila: The Ethical Evolution
Simultaneously, the Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila 2025, co-presented with the Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines, Inc. (CCIP), offered a paradise for conscious consumers and business owners alike. Featuring over 150 leading brands, the floor was buzzing with everything from revolutionary skincare and functional health supplements to, critically, sustainable beauty products and holistic therapies.
CCIP President Christine Michelle Reyes captured the spirit of the expo perfectly during the opening ceremony, noting how the industry is rapidly adapting to evolving consumer preferences. Her call to action was clear: progress is fueled by a collective commitment to fostering “innovation, sustainability, and responsible growth.” This message resonated throughout the exhibition, where the demand for quality, safe, and ethical practices was at an all-time high. Look for brands championing homegrown solutions and sustainable packaging—they are setting the new industry standard.

- Factor in the Cost: While the connections are priceless, remember that walk-in visitors are charged a PHP 200 entrance fee per day. Have this ready to ensure a smooth entry.
- Manage Your Time—and Energy: The final day, October 11, wraps up earlier at 5:00 PM (compared to the 6:00 PM close on the first two days).
