For Avène, a leading beauty company, Lumson has developed two types of packaging: Re Place for the new Cellular Renewable Cream, and a totally customized version of Envers Glas for the Multi-Intensive Night Cream.

Lumson for Hyaluron active B3

Another name of excellence has been added to Lumson's list of collaborations with leading brands. This time, it's Eau Thermale Avène, a Pierre Fabre Group brand, which, for its new Hyaluron Activ B3 line, has placed its trust in the expertise and technological know-how of Lumson, a leading Italian company in the primary cosmetics packaging sector.

Hyaluron Activ B3 is characterized by its revolutionary approach to fighting the signs of aging and by its ecological footprint. The latter follows the sustainability policy adopted by the Pierre Fabre Group some time ago, best illustrated by the creation of Green Mission in 2019, an integrated business unit that brings together and coordinates all the Group's CSR and sustainable development initiatives. An important part of the Group's objectives is devoted to new products which, since 2020, have been designed in an eco-sustainable way, just like Hyaluron Activ B3, which opens a new chapter in the long history of Avéne.

Re Place for cell renewal cream

For the velvety, comforting and enveloping cell renewal cream, we chose Re Place, a 50ml refill jar with a refillable inner cup. This innovative, eco-friendly solution is perfectly in line with the Pierre Fabre Group's sustainability policy. Just one year after its market launch, thanks to its versatility and fresh, innovative look, Lumson's Re Place has earned a place of honor in the skincare world.

Equipped with an easily removable and replaceable eco-refill, it represents the ideal solution for Avène, which combines elegance with an ecological approach: the refill solution in fact has an extremely positive environmental impact because, thanks to reuse - one of the pillars of the circular economy - it avoids the manufacture and transport of new materials and, at the same time, promotes more ethical and virtuous habits among consumers.

Envers Glas for Multi-Intensive Night Cream

A totally personalized Envers Glas was chosen for the multi-intensive night cream that stimulates cell renewal and activates collagen synthesis. Formulated with Haritaki extract, which prevents the degradation of hyaluronic acid and increases its lifespan, and Retinaldeide, 10x more active than Retinol, this rich, enveloping cream contains 97% of naturally-derived ingredients and promises more toned skin after just 15 days of use.  

Envers Glas is an airless pouch system that combines the qualities of the "classic" Envers - in primis, safety and preservation of a formula's integrity - with the prestigious appearance of glass, a noble and sophisticated material. Envers Glas, with its new cosmetic dispensing method, offers ease of use, maximum safety and high product restitution, perfect for meeting the needs of consumers who are known to prefer jarred products for their beauty routines.  

With Envers Glas, innovation goes far beyond: thanks to advanced technology, unique design and high functionality, Lumson's airless jar represents the generation of cosmetic packaging that is paving the way for a more conscious mode of consumption that is more respectful of people and the environment.  

Geka Earns EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability Rating for Third Consecutive Year Reinforcing its commitment to creating a greener beauty industry, Geka has been awarded its third Platinum sustainability rating by EcoVadis. A leading provider of high-precision cosmetic application solutions, Geka, a medmix Beauty brand, continues to demonstrate industry leadership by being among the 1% of top performing companies. EcoVadis provides the world's most trusted corporate sustainability assessments. Companies rely on EcoVadis to provide comprehensive sustainability reports that accurately assess their overall performance and inform their sustainability strategies. Participants can encourage transparency by sharing this information with stakeholders and use it to develop sustainability strategies.

The reports focus on four main categories that together provide an overall score. Within its sector, Geka ranked among the top 1 % of companies in labor and human rights, as well as among the top 2 % in environment and sustainable sourcing (both up from the top 6 % in 2021). Oliver Vogel, CEO of Geka, said, " The annual assessment of our sustainability efforts by EcoVadis is an essential part of our overall strategy. We want to offer innovative cosmetic solutions that do not compromise the beauty of our planet. Our notable improvement in the Environment and Sustainable Sourcing categories illustrates how we are continuously working to optimize our sustainability. I would like to thank everyone for their efforts in this regard." 

EcoVadis is not the only independent expert Geka works with to transparently help its customers and suppliers achieve their environmental goals. Recently, the company committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30 % in 2029 compared to 2019, which was independently validated by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). In 2022, International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISSC) Plus was awarded to its cosmetic packaging injection blow molding facility in Elgin, Illinois.

Recently, offering more detail and transparency, Geka released its first annual sustainability report, which assessed its environmental, social and governance performance from October 2020 to September 2021.

As a member of medmix, a global leader in high-precision delivery devices, Geka, along with all areas of the company's business, continues to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations. In its supply chain, air freight shipments have been significantly reduced. The percentage of low-carbon energy used in its facilities is steadily increasing, while recycled and bio-based polymers are widely adopted in product design. Geka is committed to sending no more waste to landfill by 2025. Sustainable and innovative beauty products are already on the shelves. For example, the Reborn collection of mascara, lip gloss, eyebrow brushes, cleansing pads and accessories is made at 93 % from bio-based and recycled materials, offering end users a truly sustainable beauty option.

The new Infinite PP Panstick from international beauty packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack represents an evolution of the original plastic panstick. Made entirely from PP, a recyclable material, it is now available in a refillable format. Versatile, the product is part of the new generation of Quadpack brand packaging and meets the ecological needs of brands to use sustainable materials for make-up, fragrances and skincare. 

Thanks to its eco-design, Infinite PP Panstick has reduced its carbon emissions by 43 % compared with the original version, and its circularity index has tripled*, indicating an improvement in sustainability and a reduction in environmental impact, according to a Product Life Cycle Assessment. The move to refillable single-material packaging has taken the product from a minimum to an advanced level of sustainability in Quadpack's PIP assessment. 

Packaging is adapting to trends towards product solidification, driven by environmental concerns, which are prompting brands to reduce or eliminate the water present in formulas by adopting sticks as alternative formats and encouraging the adoption of different gestures and applications. 

As well as being long-lasting, the product is versatile: it's suitable for a variety of solid-form formulas such as foundations, complexion perfectors, sun products, serums and solid perfumes. Thanks to the practical snap-on system, Infinite PP Panstick can be easily refilled, and offers top- and bottom-filling options.

The product is available in cup diameters of 18.2 mm (10 g and 4.5 g) and 21.3 mm (15 g) and offers a range of internal decoration options.

Buoyed by its success with suncare products, the young Mimitika brand is now tackling the skincare market with Skin Juice Collection and its 4 serums. For this development, Mimitika has chosen a Bormioli model with beautifully rounded shapes and a PCR component..

A strong signal for a committed 100 % brand

With its suncare formulas, the brand combines the safety of protection with the pleasure of exposure. Its new Skin by Mimitika range follows the same reasoning. Skin needs to be pampered all year round: nourished with effective, lightweight formulas, protected from UV rays. Women need natural, affordable, locally-made beauty products.

First launch for the brand: a line called Skin Juice Collection. Based on targeted natural active ingredients, the four serums moisturize, soothe, purify, illuminate and smooth all skin types, whatever the circumstances.

Packaging between seduction and reason

Mimitika chose to collaborate with Bormioli Luigi for this development. It focused on the ready-to-go collection: turnkey bottles for agile, more virtuous developments. In the catalog, the Thalassa was chosen for its rounded shoulders, balanced by the choice of a 15 ml format for a particularly feminine look. Practical to hold, it adapts perfectly to the dropper gesture. What's more, the bottle is made with a proportion of PCR (15 %), a further argument for the brand's commitment to the environment. The Thalassa model is available as a range, in 3 bottle formats (15, 30 and 150 ml, and in 50 and 200 ml jars).
