IBE debuted in New York City in August of 2015 and has since expanded to four strategic markets in North America and Europe: New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and London. Today, IBE offers buyers, press, investors, and shoppers an opportunity to discover and transact with the largest collection of independent beauty brands in the world.
