The doors of the World Trade Center Metro Manila opened to a wave of excitement as Cosmobeauté Philippines 2026 officially began its three-day showcase — a landmark celebration of beauty, innovation, and diversity. With over 250 exhibitors and six international pavilions, the event drew an estimated 8,000 trade visitors, setting a new benchmark for the country’s growing beauty and wellness industry.
