HBA 2007 has been restructured into three components that encompass the major heath and beauty industry sectors: marketing, technical, and naturals. Each sector has its own dedicated conference program and exhibits on the show floor.

The technical component will combine ingredients and manufacturing into a showcase focused on all new product developments, including naturals, botanicals, and organics. This sector brings together raw materials, ingredient suppliers, and formulators.
The naturals sector will focus on the marriage of nature and beauty, providing a platform to explore beauty from the inside out. The latest botanicals, organics, and natural products will be featured.
