Baralan: sustainable versions of its standard packaging

Baralan, a renowned company in primary packaging for the cosmetics industry, expands its sustainable packaging options with the addition of environmentally friendly materials. Covering a wide range of standard products usually manufactured in plastic, the new component options significantly expand Baralan's sustainable packaging catalog for the beauty and personal care market.

Historically, Baralan's core business has been to offer products made from glass, a material universally considered to be environmentally friendly due to its recyclability. To combine glass products with suitable accessories, Baralan is committed to selecting new materials that have less impact on the environment and can serve as acceptable alternatives to traditional plastic components. These new product versions - made from eco-friendly materials - will form a new collection enriching the company's existing range of eco-friendly products.

With this new collection, Baralan emphasizes the importance of waste optimization by promoting recycling through the use of organic waste, such as coffee peels and rice. These organic wastes will be mixed with virgin plastic, reducing the overall plastic resin content to create a more sustainable solution suitable for the manufacture of a wide range of accessories in Baralan's standard collection.

Items in this collection can also be manufactured with varying percentages of PCR plastic - from 30 % to 100 % - offering multi-level recycling possibilities. The different levels of PCR enable brands to maintain the desired level of packaging aesthetics, while meeting their sustainability objectives and responding to growing consumer demand for sustainable products.

In addition, biobased materials - produced with a biopolymer derived from renewable resources and natural materials not linked to the food chain - can be used to guarantee total recyclability.

Another feature of this new collection is the possibility of producing black items without using carbon black, which is notoriously difficult to recycle, as the new masterbatch will not be obtained by combustion.

These new products will not only comply with mandatory regulations while meeting quality standards, but will also guarantee the protective efficacy of the product formula and its practical functionality.

"This is an exciting launch for Baralan, and an opportunity for us as a company to examine how and where we can expand our green offerings to better protect the environment, "says Maurizio Ficcadenti, Global R&D Manager. " Our vision is to continually develop new collections of sustainable products that offer both elegance and superior functionality."

Essential oils: latest scientific advances

The 4th edition of Aromadays, organized by Cosmed and the HE Consortium, will be held on 1 and 2 May.er and December 2 in Avignon. In this pivotal year for essential oils, this congress is a must-attend event to showcase the special features of essential oils.

- The European Commission will present a preview of the new proposals to revise the Reach and CLP regulations, which since 2021 have been the subject of campaigns such as "EO in Danger" by EO producers and professionals.

- FranceAgriMer, under the supervision of the French Ministry of Agriculture, will present the results of their first study (to be completed in September 2022) on the provenance of the PPAM (Perfumed, Aromatic and Medicinal Plants) most commonly used in organic cosmetics, and the levers for promoting a French origin.

- Pierre Fabre will complement these presentations on HE sourcing with feedback on their experience in securing supplies for sustainable sourcing.

- The subject of EO quality is also a highly critical one, and will be discussed at length during the congress. Indeed, essential oils are particularly affected by the risk of fraud/adulteration (e.g. blending with a close and less expensive EO, dilution, addition of synthetic compounds...) and the impact of fraud is far from negligible on the average quality of EOs. DNA Gensee and Botanicert will be presenting complementary innovations for the botanical and phytochemical identification of EOs to meet the quality expectations of various industries (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, etc.).

- The first cosmetics consortium, "ADN & Cosmétique", dedicated to the traceability of natural resources, which brings together major players in the perfumery and cosmetics industries (L'Oreal Research Innovation, LVMH Recherche, Laboratoire Clarins, Groupe Nuxe, CRODA, Greentech), will also be presenting its activities.

- For the 2nd day of Aromadays, Professor Robert Tisserand (author of the Essential Oil Safety "Bible"), Professor Patrice Rat from the University of Paris and the Léa Nature Laboratory will demonstrate, with scientific studies, why it is important to consider essential oils in their entirety, and not try to deduce their properties from data on their constituents.

- The latest scientific work by the EO Consortium highlights the value of EO blends in improving EO stability and preventing oxidation, a feature never before described in the literature. This research underscores the importance of protecting EOs from oxidation to control the risk of skin sensitization.

There will also be many other conferences on safety assessment, formulation and the constantly developing field of clinical aromatherapy.

Scentys unveils its new visual identity

With its new logo and signature, the airborne fragrance expert proclaims its commitment to technological excellence in the service of perfume.

Scentys, the French expert in air fragrance diffusion for twenty years, today unveils its new visual identity: new logo, new colors, new signature and new typography.

" This new graphic identity has been built around the fundamental values of Scentys: respect, excellence and innovation. "explains Pierre Loustric, Chairman of Scentys. " It perfectly reflects our vision: to give perfume the central place it rightfully deserves in our lives. ".

Scentys called on the Paris Heure Locale agency, which was able to respond perfectly to its brief: to express the luxurious side of perfume while highlighting the company's technological expertise.

" Paris Heure Locale's creative team succeeded brilliantly in transcribing our DNA by drawing inspiration from our capsule for the design of this new logo, illustrating our technological excellence. "comments Pierre Loustric. " As for the exclusive typography they've also created for us, with its sober lines, it exudes an elegant, refined atmosphere, perfectly in tune with the sensory worlds we're committed to creating for our customers. ".

Finally, the baseline "Excellence in Fragrance Diffusion" fully reflects the commitment made by Scentys since its creation: to provide its customers with the very best in diffusion technology to ensure excellence in the service of fragrance.

The new Scentys visual identity is now deployed on the company's website, available in French and English.

This development marks a new strategic step for the company, a few months after the opening of its first foreign subsidiary. Last March, Scentys announced the creation of Scentys Inc, its U.S. office, based in New York. Headed by Loïc Remoussenard, this new entity offers innovative solutions and customized service in line with the trends and needs of the American market - a strategic market due to its size, dynamism and the presence of multinational perfume companies.

Last May, Scentys also set up a brand-new Fragrance department, headed by Maxime Philippe-Bonelli, winner of the SFP International Perfumer-Creator Prize in 2021.

This department is responsible for developing home fragrances for its customers; bringing its own fragrance collection to life, ensuring that it evolves with the seasons and trends; working hand-in-hand with its customers to help them adapt their fragrances to Scentys diffusion technology; ensuring, in collaboration with the R&D teams, olfactory evaluation to maintain Scentys' exclusive level of quality at all times; and proposing innovations such as natural 100% fragrances.

Scentys has always strived for excellence in the service of fragrance, by providing the very best in diffusion technology. Our exclusive fragrance diffusion processes are the subject of several technological patents.

Back in 2005, the company developed an exclusive dry diffusion solution by encapsulating a pure perfume concentrate in polymer beads. These small beads are held in a capsule which, when integrated into a diffuser, releases subtle wafts of fragrance. This technology, which meets the most stringent international regulatory requirements, guarantees cold diffusion, with no added solvent or alcohol, and no afterglow. Fragrances diffused using this process are delivered with optimum efficiency, which has convinced major brands such as Diptyque and Jo Malone.

How to identify cosmetics?

Inspirational ideas for brands and retailers to unlock supply chain transparency and deliver seamless shopping experiences will be on show. !

Avery Dennison will be presenting its new digital identification technologies at Cosmetic360 in Paris, on October 12 and 13 at the Carrousel du Louvre (stand DC65). These offer the beauty and personal care industry end-to-end supply chain connectivity, transparency and traceability.

The cosmetics industry is undergoing considerable change, and expectations are constantly evolving. Today, technology offers a solution that enables supply chains to be more efficient, with better inventory visibility and richer customer experiences. By assigning individual products a unique identity, Avery Dennison's digital identification solutions such as RFID, QR code, NFC and low-energy bluetooth, powered by the connected products cloud, atma.io, open up vast opportunities for digital retail and supply chain management.
 
As supply chains are set to become even more complex in the future, investing in digital identification technologies now will yield long-term results, such as minimizing overproduction, reducing waste, and increasing sales and productivity. "explains Maryna Grytsenko, European Beauty and Personal Care Market Development Manager at Avery Dennison Smartrac. 
 
Beauty and personal care brands are no strangers to the challenge of inventory management. In fact, the segment is arguably facing the retail industry's biggest opportunity for improvement. Avery Dennison's atma.io digital identifiers and connected product cloud establish a single source of truth that brands can trust. They offer an extra level of authenticity and traceability throughout a product's journey: from manufacture to shelf and beyond. This is precisely the level of transparency the beauty industry needs, both from a regulatory point of view and in terms of consumer demand.

" At Cosmetic360, we look forward to demonstrating how this versatile technology can enable beauty and personal care retailers and brands to improve their operational efficiency and better understand their supply chains. "says Maryna Grytsenko.

In addition to transparency, traceability and stock accuracy, technologies such as NFC and QR codes, powered by atma.io, enable richer interactions between consumers and brands and their products beyond the point of sale.

Texture at the service of a sensory signature

Cosmogen has explored the various options for texturizing applicators, as a means of differentiating brands and enriching the user experience. In particular, using 3D metal printing technology.

Cosmogen is exploring Metal 3D printing technology, as yet unseen in the world of cosmetics. This technology is particularly interesting from a production point of view, as it enables us to develop a unique, customized applicator quickly, while adding an original, unique dimension to the sensorial experience. The patented Fresh tube is designed for lip and eye care. The cold applicator, immersed in its tube, extracts a moderate dose of the formula thanks to its reliefs. Available in PCR; recyclable tube; refill possible. Still at the concept stage, this innovation has already met with great success among brands keen to differentiate themselves.

Continuous mixing by Gericke

Mixing several powders or granules is a frequent operation in all areas of industry.

Batch or batch mixing technology is preferred when production requires frequent recipe changes, either in terms of the number of ingredients or the variation in proportions.

On the one hand, the continuous mixer is essential when the downstream process is continuous: feeding an extruder, a packaging machine, a continuous dryer... but also when a compact solution is required to facilitate cleaning operations. The average residence time of products in the mixing chamber is around 30 seconds. For example, a mixer with a chamber volume of 50 liters, which is easy to clean, can handle a flow of 5 m3/h depending on revenue.

This compactness also makes it possible to mix ingredients incorporated in very low proportions (less than 1 per 1,000), while achieving the very high, reliable mixing qualities required in the pharmaceutical industry.

The short dwell time coupled with the very low rotation speed of the rotor blades will be a decisive advantage when mixing fragile products.

Gericke has been manufacturing batch and continuous mixers for over 80 years, with installations worldwide. In the vast majority of cases, preliminary tests are carried out in one of Gericke's stations, enabling customers to validate the quality of the mixed product.

TNT Global Manufacturing & TNT Promo sublimate By Far Dayream

TNT Global Manufacturing and TNT Promo have combined their expertise and know-how to bring the By Far Dayream refillable Eaux de Parfum collection to perfection.

Two lacquered aluminum shells and a zamac collar adorn this bottle. The embossed logo and charmille texture on the zamac collar mark the packaging. The use of Pok inserts in the collar and hull were essential to ensure that this nomadic accessory would stay put. The weighted hull insert is made of PP.

A stainless steel key allows the base shell to be opened for bottle change or new personalization. For the ultimate in personalization, the base shells and caps are available in 6 colors, and the collar in 2 finishes: ecoating gold and shiny white bronze galvanization + varnish.

TNT Global Manufacturing's development teams have devised a clever locking system to ensure the integrity of this pack, designed as a mobile, on-the-go fashion accessory. 

Restocking will also be handled by TNT Global Manufacturing.  

Last but not least, TNT Promo has created the Vip box and display unit, which showcases hulls, covers and key-rings, as well as the Duo boxes, which contain two hulls in different colors and two refills.

The limited edition Vip display box is in pink lacquered MDF with a double opening, a large interior mirror, the By Far gold signature and orange leather closing tabs.

The placement of the products has been carefully studied to ensure the balance of the box when the two panels are opened on the top and front.

The inside of the top panel features several compartments, each with a hook and belt to hold various accessories.

All wedges on the lower part are removable, making this box infinitely reusable.

Duo boxes are made from cardboard lined with FSC paper, and feature contrasting orange and fuchsia-colored inner liners. A real vitamin concentrate!

Interview with Céline Paillier

What does Cosmet'in Lyon mean to you?

Céline Paillier : The Aura region is at the heart of a growing dynamic in the skin biology and cosmetics sector. For the past 60 years, Cosmet'in Lyon has been bringing together academic researchers and manufacturers in the field of dermocosmetology. Its mission is to federate all the players in the sector (academics, manufacturers and students) at regional level, in order to highlight their innovations on the national and international scene.

What are your findings?

Céline Paillier : Innovation is a value shared by all regional players, not just university researchers, but industrialists too! The aim is to provide answers to the problems encountered by the cosmetics and dermo-cosmetics industry, healthcare professionals and consumers alike. Our region, which encompasses 12 départements and ranks second only to Ile de France in economic terms, has immense resources. I believe it is vital to strengthen interactions and cooperation within our region, and to raise the profile of all its dermocosmetology talent.

What do you hope to achieve during this mandate?

Céline Paillier : Under the impetus of its previous presidents, and more recently Nico Forraz, Cosmet'in LYON has become an international reference. My objective is to multiply synergies between its members by relying on more regular digital communication, while prioritizing human relations, a founding element of the association, through events, roundtables, meetings, etc. Since Cosmet'in Lyon deals with all current topics related to dermocosmetology, we will define together the main guidelines that will guide our action plan in favor of reasoned, effective and beneficial dermocosmetology research. Ensuring coherence and adopting a holistic approach seems essential to me. The Cil Skin Science Days on the Exposome, in February 2023, will illustrate this perfectly.

Céline Paillier has been BioMeca's Business Development Director since 2018. Her mission is to structure the organization and develop the company's sales and commercial partnerships, particularly internationally, drawing on her scientific background and recognized skills: customer relations, sales, project management and team management. She previously worked as an independent business development consultant, after starting her career as a team manager at Cogenics Genome Express.

Lumson and biotherm for aquapower advanced gel

Two names for one great product. On one side Biotherm, the famous international brand, and on the other Lumson, the Italian leader in primary packaging and distribution systems for the cosmetics industry, and in the middle Aquapower Advanced Gel Homme.   

Aquapower Advanced Gel Homme is an ultra-moisturizing skin care product for men. Thanks to its proven experience in airless systems, Lumson has created exclusive packaging: a glass airless with a pouch system that protects the formula from contamination and guarantees optimal product distribution. 

The shape of water 

For Biotherm, the shape of beauty is inspired by water. The design of the new airless packaging is the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. The bottle's square shape, softened by rounded edges, gives the impression of having been created by the flow of ocean waves. The color - the brand's emblematic green - evokes freshness and hydration, two of the gel's benefits. Sensoriality is also a distinctive feature of the packaging developed for Biotherm. The airless bottle features a soft-touch finish that makes it pleasant to the touch and protects it from fingerprints, while reflecting the Gel's mattifying effect. The solution's sustainable footprint gives it added value: it uses 40 % of recycled glass, while the pump and cap are both styrene-free. The packaging developed for Aquapower Gel is part of a new range of square-shaped airless solutions that share their shape and finish, and have been developed in different formats (50, 75, 100 ml) and colors, which Biotherm has chosen to use in some cases as repackaging for products already in their collection, and in other cases for new Homme products.

Lumson technology and know-how 

Thanks to the multi-layer pouch and patented hermetic closure system, Lumson airless pouch systems are the epitaph of Lumson's aesthetic research and technology. 

Solutions that offer, in addition to formula safety, functionality (perfect product distribution) and sustainability (from the use of recycled glass to the possibility of separating the various packaging components and disposing of them using the appropriate recycling channel). 

Another aspect to consider is the multitude of customization options. The shapes and materials available, combined with the finishes and decorations that can be applied, give brands the opportunity to choose the solution that best suits their needs, enhancing the character and personality of each product. 

Lumson will be present at the next Luxe Pack Monaco 2022, which takes place from October 3 to 5 at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, Hall Ravel - stand RD05.
