New Delhi [India], July 28: Oscar Pereira, Founder of CodeSkin and one of India's most respected cosmetic formulators, marked a significant milestone at Cosmohome Tech Expo 2026 by serving as a jury member for the prestigious Innovation Awards while simultaneously being honoured with the Formulation Recognition Award for his longstanding contribution to cosmetic science and formulation excellence in India.
Held on 22nd and 23rd July 2026 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, Cosmohome Tech Expo has emerged as one of Asia's leading business platforms for the beauty, cosmetics, personal care and home care manufacturing ecosystem. Bringing together more than 350 exhibitors, thousands of industry professionals, manufacturers, formulators, ingredient innovators, packaging specialists and technology providers, the expo showcased the latest advancements shaping the future of cosmetic manufacturing, from breakthrough ingredients and formulation technologies to sustainable packaging, AI-enabled manufacturing solutions and next-generation efficacy testing.
Recognised for his extensive scientific expertise and over three decades of experience in cosmetic formulation, Pereira was invited to join an eminent jury panel comprising Shaily Mehrotra, Rohini Manoj, Punita Kalra and Vimal Bhola to evaluate submissions for the Innovation Awards.
The jury assessed a wide spectrum of innovations redefining the cosmetics and personal care landscape, including biomimetic ingredients, peptide technologies, advanced delivery systems, encapsulation science, microbiome-friendly formulations, sustainable chemistry, biotechnology-driven actives, green manufacturing practices and evolving methodologies for efficacy validation.
Being entrusted with evaluating some of the industry's most forward-looking innovations while simultaneously being recognised for his own contributions reflected Pereira's enduring influence on India's formulation ecosystem.
Reflecting on the experience, Oscar Pereira said: "I thought I was coming to judge innovation. Instead, innovation judged me. After more than three decades in formulation, I expected to see progress, but I was genuinely surprised by the pace at which cosmetic science is evolving. Every category, from ingredient technology to delivery systems and sustainable chemistry, is being reimagined. It was inspiring, humbling, and deeply motivating to witness the level of scientific thinking behind the entries. Experiences like these remind us that innovation isn't a destination; it's a continuous journey of learning, questioning and evolving."
For over 30 years, Pereira has been at the forefront of cosmetic formulation, product development and ingredient innovation. Throughout his career, he has collaborated across multiple categories spanning skincare, haircare and personal care, combining rigorous scientific research with an intuitive understanding of consumer behaviour to create products that are both effective and commercially relevant.
As the Founder of CodeSkin, Pereira has championed a science-first philosophy that prioritises clinically relevant formulations, ingredient transparency and evidence-based skincare over marketing trends. His work reflects a belief that high-performance skincare must be rooted in formulation integrity, balancing efficacy, safety, stability and consumer experience to deliver measurable results.
His continued focus on research-driven innovation has positioned him among the industry's most respected formulation experts, particularly at a time when consumers are increasingly demanding ingredient transparency, clinically supported claims and products that are both effective and responsibly developed.
The recognition at Cosmohome Tech Expo further reinforces Pereira's role as a thought leader helping shape the next chapter of cosmetic science. As technological advancements continue to transform beauty manufacturing, from biotechnology and precision formulation to sustainable innovation and intelligent product development, his participation as both juror and award recipient symbolises the industry's growing emphasis on scientific excellence, continuous learning and responsible innovation.
His experience at the expo serves as a powerful reminder that even after decades of expertise, the pursuit of knowledge remains central to meaningful innovation. It is this willingness to continually evolve, challenge established thinking and embrace emerging science that will define the future of the global beauty industry.
