Roquette Beauté unveils its new microbiome-friendly ingredient at in-cosmetics Global 2022 in Paris: Beauté by Roquette DE 006 is a 100 % plant-based ingredient, soothing for skin and scalp, which also preserves the diversity of the cutaneous microbiome.

On the occasion of the in-cosmetics Global trade show, taking place in Paris from April 5 to 7, 2022, Roquette Beauté is presenting its new ingredient Beauté By Roquette DE 006, INCI Dextrin, to the cosmetics industry. With Beauté By Roquette DE 006, Roquette Beauté is responding to growing consumer demand for effective, naturally-derived, soothing products for the skin and scalp that preserve the diversity of their cutaneous microbiome.

With an average skin surface area of 2 m², our skin's microbiome is the largest and probably the most diverse. Maintaining its harmony is essential to preserve our skin barrier and avoid skin problems such as inflammation, lack of hydration or sensitive skin.

Every individual has a unique skin microbiota. Many external factors can weaken and influence its balance: temperature variations, UV exposure, pollution, aggressive or synthetic products and lifestyle.

In recent years, consumers have become aware that their skin problems may be associated with an imbalance in the cutaneous microbiota; they now want their skin and scalp care products to combine efficacy and naturalness, while respecting the microbiome.

Beauté by Roquette DE 006: a soothing agent for skin and scalp derived from plants, certified microbiomefriendly.

Beauté by Roquette DE 006 is a Dextrin 100 % of plant origin, Cosmos and Natrue certified and suitable for vegan formulations. According to Roquette Beauté, it's the ideal ally for fragile, sensitive skin and scalps.

Various tests have been carried out to demonstrate the benefits of the ingredient Beauté by Roquette DE 006, according to Roquette Beauté:

  • it reduces the marker of inflammation (IL-1 alpha),
  • reduces insensible water loss (IWL/TEWL) induced by chemical and mechanical aggression,
  • significantly reduces redness induced by chemical aggression, 
  • helps soothe the skin and scalp,
  • preserves the diversity of skin microflora.

"The addition of Beauté by Roquette DE 006 to our range of ingredients is a perfect illustration of our determination to provide the cosmetics industry with innovative plant-based solutions that meet consumer expectations for safer products with the right balance between naturalness and performance. For us, Sustainable Beauty is all about Skin Health and Nutrition. We focus on the development of high-quality, versatile and sustainable plant-derived ingredients, and develop multifunctional solutions combining high performance and sensoriality".says Bénédicte Courel, General Manager of Roquette Beauté.

Cosmetic Valley opens a new branch in French Guiana

At the "Trees and other plants of the cosmetopoeia" conference held in Cayenne on 28, 29 and 30 March, organized by CIRAD in partnership with the cluster, Cosmetic Valley, the Territorial Collectivity of French Guiana and its development agency Guyane Développement Innovation (GDI) signed an agreement to create "Cosmetic Valley Guyane", a new branch of the cluster that will be in charge, in particular, of developing the Amazonian cosmetopoeia and the cosmetics industry in French Guiana. This signature extends the framework contract signed in 2018 between the same partners, and completes a rapprochement marked by the election to the board of the cluster, in 2021, of two directors from this overseas territory: the University of Cayenne and the company Bio Stratège.

This is the fifth major location for Cosmetic Valley, which is now present in Chartres (headquarters) for the Centre/Val-de-Loire region and the whole of France, in Caen for Normandy, in Bordeaux for New Aquitaine, in Brussels to strengthen ties with the European Union, and in Cayenne for French Guiana.

"The signing of this winning agreement marks a very important step forward for Cosmetic Valley. By opening a branch in French Guiana, the cluster aims to strengthen French excellence in the field of raw materials and to contribute to the development of overseas territories by relying on the concept of cosmetology. Here in Cayenne, in this beautiful department which has one of the largest natural wooded areas in one piece, there is marine and terrestrial wealth, authentic and safe ingredients, a respect for biodiversity that protects the planet at a time when our customers are demanding naturalness, a well-being that is not unethical, local and clean production. These are the characteristics of the Guyanese cosmetics industry. To succeed in our ecological transition and expand our network, but also to increase the international and continental influence of the territory, to increase its employment rate and its growth, to lead it in a process of excellence, our cooperation makes sense: that of a step forward.said Marc-Antoine Jamet, President of Cosmetic Valley.

"The Cosmetic Valley cluster aims to be a world leader in the perfumery and cosmetics industry and to be a natural driver of the French industry. I am delighted to sign an agreement to promote the creation of a branch called: Cosmetic Valley Guyana. I am especially pleased to see the emergence of a Guianese and Amazonian cosmetics, and to see the number of jobs in the cosmetics sector on our territory. And you will allow me to emphasize first of all, the requirement of respect for local knowledge accumulated by local populations, and that, if each link of the value chain is concerned, we must nevertheless pay particular attention to the upstream, that is to say to the producers on whom all the constraints rest. I would also like to emphasize the profound coherence of our action: it is one and the same impetus that leads us to want more autonomy in the conduct of our internal affairs (and especially our development policy), and that dictates a strategy of valorization of our natural resources.continued Gabriel Serville, President of the Territorial Collectivity of Guyana.

Cosmetopoeia in the French overseas territories, a priority for the Cosmetic Valley cluster

In order to meet the requirements of natural cosmetic products, product formulas are increasingly incorporating bio-sourced ingredients of natural origin. Sourcing natural raw materials that respect biodiversity and are based on dialogue with producing countries is now a priority. Initiated by Cosmetic Valley in French Polynesia about ten years ago, the cosmetopoeia program is the subject of numerous R&D projects and theses around the world, in partnership with universities in several countries: Gabon, Madagascar, Mayotte, and especially Guyana, with the "Valorextra" project, which aims to research molecules from five species of the Guiana wood industry to formulate a cosmetic anti-oxidant, and the Cayenne congress.

"The development of cosmetopoeia throughout the world, in partnership with local authorities and research institutions, represents a formidable lever for the development of knowledge on plants, a tool for the conservation of biodiversity and traditional uses of plants, and a means of raising public awareness of climate issues. It allows for an awareness of territorial wealth and the implementation of global strategies for research, training, and responsible economic development. Cosmetic Valley has made the development of cosmetology in overseas territories a priority: the presence of French territories on all continents offers "Made in France" the ability to enhance a rich and still little known biodiversity. The consideration of cosmetopoeia by each of these territories represents a tremendous asset to preserve their richness and establish sustainable economic sectors.says the competitiveness cluster.

Paris Packaging Week will be held on June 29 and 30

Paris Packaging Week opens its doors on June 29 and 30 at Porte de Versailles, pavilion 7.2. Under this new name, PCD, the benchmark trade show for perfumes, cosmetics and skincare, ADF, an expert in aerosols and dispensing systems, and PLD, a specialist in premium beverages, will come together. After a remotely scheduled 2021 edition and a postponement from January 2022 to June of the same year, the Paris Packaging Week event is more eagerly awaited than ever. Professionals from the beauty, premium beverage, aerosol and dispensing systems sectors, on both the brand and supplier sides, have already booked their two days to come and meet, get inspired and imagine the packaging of tomorrow.

New dates and a new identity: a show designed to bring people together

The first edition under this identity, it is part of a continuity. Launched in 2001, PCD will be celebrating its 21e edition, ADF, inaugurated in 2007, its 15e edition, and PLD, which joined them in 2020, its 2e edition. The new name is accompanied by a new design and reinforced ambitions. Paris Packaging Week has been given a colorful, dynamic new look: a banner bringing together three complementary sectors, united by powerful synergies and shared issues.
Through this change of image and name, Easyfairs, the event's organizer, is responding to the expectations of a community of professionals who want to be connected and benefit from increased visibility in the high-end and luxury packaging innovation markets.

" Paris Packaging Week and the new identities of ADF, PCD and PLD will create a new experience, both at face-to-face events and throughout the year via our digital channels, for all those involved in packaging innovation. "said Renan Joël, division manager for Easyfairs' packaging exhibitions in the UK, France, Italy and Switzerland.

New name, new design

The new Paris Packaging Week graphic identity was created by London-based design agency Butterfly Cannon, experts in the premium and luxury sectors. Art director Adam Ellis describes the work of his teams as follows: " Easyfairs asked us to create a unique, customizable brand identity that reflects both the precision and passion of its groundbreaking events. The hyper-real photography reflects the individual personalities of the different events and the visceral sense of excitement one feels when visiting a show, while the bespoke typography unifies the different events into a cohesive family. "
This new branding now defines the identity of the Paris, London and Milan shows. It presents a coherent offering for brands and suppliers alike.

An eagerly awaited summer edition

The health situation having forced us to postpone the event, usually the first of the year in the calendar, it will now take place at the beginning of summer. This new date will provide an opportunity to meet at another key time of the year, one that is conducive to inspiration.
" We're delighted with the enthusiasm of both exhibitors and the public. 650 suppliers, including international companies, have reserved their stands. 10,000 participants are expected over the two days. We're three months away from this major event, and pre-registration rates are excellent. "said Josh Brooks, Director of Paris Packaging Week.

 Highlights of Paris Packaging Week 2022

New at the show: the Innovation Awards gallery

 " We have enriched our program of highlights to better meet the expectations of show visitors and to showcase the excellence of our exhibitors. New this year is our Trends Gallery. In conjunction with our Innovation Awardsfive key trends, such as eco-responsibility, recharging, personalization, .... The gallery will feature award and certificate winners, as well as a number of other outstanding achievements, to inspire visitors. Located in the ADF area, it will bring together the three branches of the show, creating links and bridges between these close and complementary worlds. "explains Christelle Anya, Community & Content Manager for Paris Packaging Week.

Events within events 

As in previous years, your visit to the show will be punctuated by a number of highlights and must-see areas:

  • The Pentawards Gallery This annual international packaging design competition celebrates its winners.
  • The Spaces for socializing and networking the champagne bar and the cocktail loungeand the evening of the first day are conducive to bonding and relaxed sharing.
  • The three ceremonies Innovation Awards The awards ceremony is eagerly awaited by brands and suppliers alike. The SCI awards will take place on Wednesday, and the ADF and PLD awards on Thursday.
  • L'Ecotour This year's event will feature a guided tour of innovations in the field of eco-responsibility, to help customers create the perfect packaging for their product and their CSR commitments.

Honneur to the students!

Future packaging professionals are honored through partnerships with leading schools in the sector. Two competitions have been launched: the ESEPAC/ESP Student Competition, for its 6e and the first-ever ESIReims Student Challenge.

  • 6e edition of the ESEPAC/ESP Student Competition sponsored by Estée Lauder Companies.

ESEPAC and ESP students brainstormed around the topic "How to reinvent unique, luxurious and sustainable consumer experiences for the luxury fragrance market?". Their challenge was to propose "radical to disruptive" projects. The projects were presented on stage and exhibited on the schools' stand. The competition was sponsored by Marc Lechanoine, Global Senior Vice President Creative Design & Packaging Innovation at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.

" We are proud to organize the ESEPAC/ESP competition, and to unveil the student projects for 2021 at the show. The partnerships established with these schools grow stronger every year. These competitions confirm our role in helping to reveal the players and talents of tomorrow in the packaging world. "said Christelle Anya.

  • 1er ESIReims student challenge, with Shiseido and HudaBeauty

Paris Packaging Week and ESIReims offered their students the chance to take part in two packaging design competitions organized in collaboration with two prestigious brands. HudaBeauty's challenge was to completely reinvent a palette of 18 shades by making it refillable and recyclable, or to rethink the secondary packaging of the brand's flagship fragrance "Kayali" by integrating eco-design and industrialization into the project. 

The Shiseido brand, for its part, focused on very precise specifications. Students in their 3rd year at ESIReims were asked to revisit the WASO range dedicated to GEN Z. 

" Working with companies has been part of ESIReims' DNA for 40 years. The challenge proposed by Huda Beauty and Shiseido is a real opportunity for ESIReims to ask its engineering students to respond to concrete industrial issues. The subjects are fascinating, and the challenge immense. It's a pleasure for us to respond, especially since the investment of our partner brands is remarkable. "said Serge Odof, Director of ESIReims.

Conferences to shed light on current issues

Paris Packaging Week is devoting three rooms to conferences and round tables. These will feature contributions from industry experts on key topics of interest to brands and suppliers alike.

Major themes specific to the three clusters have already been announced:

The Cosmetic Victories is a global competition and a benchmark for innovation. Its aim is to highlight the most promising research projects in the cosmetics industry, whether they come from French or foreign start-ups, SMEs or academic laboratories. 

Several panels of international experts first examined some 80 Cosmetic Valley-registered projects from 18 countries.

The six teams still in the running for the final of the 7th edition were then heard by a jury presided over by Marc-Antoine Jamet, President of the competitiveness cluster, who unveiled the winners of the 2022 prize list at a ceremony broadcast on Cosmetic Valley TV on March 22.

Dr Sami Halila, a researcher at the Centre de Recherches sur les Macromolécules Végétales (CNRS Grenoble, France), is the winner of the Prix Académique for his Carbogel project. a Simple and Eco-Friendly Carbohydrate-Based Gelling Agent for Oily Phase. "

The project focuses on the supramolecular gelation of organic liquids, such as oils, solvents or fatty esters, by monosaccharide derivatives that self-assemble into a 3D network. The "sweet" gelators are synthesized by an eco-friendly and efficient method (reaction in water). Gelling is performed by sonication, or by heating/cooling, or by dilution. The gel can be used as a stimuli-sensitive matrix for the controlled delivery of cosmetic agents. Carbogel contributes to "green" and sustainable cosmetics by limiting our environmental and social impact.

The Industry Prize was awarded to Stefan Mazy, President and Founder of Derma Health Solutions Pty Ltd (Australia), for his SkinRNA Micro-cell Test project. A world first, this epigenetic diagnostic test can be repeated in patches and laboratories, and quantifies the effectiveness of skin care products through real-time gene expression activity. The device collects over 15,000 genes, while its algorithms provide gene expression activity scores for skin functions including collagen and elastin production, and skin inflammation. After product intervention, a second test is performed to measure new gene activity against the initial benchmarks. Consumers can then repeat the tests at regular intervals to monitor skin improvement at the genetic level without waiting for visible signs.

Expanscience launches a new active ingredient and announces FairWild certification for its Schisandra chain in China

By
The editorial staff
-

Expanscience, an independent, family-owned French company with a mission and B Corp certification, launches Calybiota Bio, a new Cosmos-certified active ingredient. Furthermore, committed to responsible supply chains, Expanscience has provided financial and technical support to the Chinese cooperative that harvests Schisandra berries in Sichuan (Sweetone Bio active ingredient) for FairWild certification. This is the first time a cooperative has obtained this certification in China. Expanscience had also obtained the Fair for Life label for its Macaline and Skinhairgium Bio active ingredients, sourced from the maca chain in Peru, (2019) and for its organic illipe butter sourced in Indonesia (2021).

Calybiota Bio, a natural 100% active ingredient that rebalances the skin's microbiota

An extract rich in polysaccharides from the calyxes of the red Kapokier tree, sourced in Africa, Calybiota Bio is certified Cosmos by Ecocert.

Particularly recommended in intimate care and hygiene cosmetics, a clinical study* has demonstrated its role in protecting vaginal flora. The study revealed a prebiotic effect on this flora, a reduction in inflammation and discomfort, hydration of the intimate area and improved sexual comfort.

Calybiota Bio is also recommended for acne-prone, atopic/eczematous or hypersensitive skin, as well as for deodorant formulas. This active ingredient helps protect and maintain the balance of the skin's microbiota.

FairWild, a certification guaranteeing the sustainability of wild resources and respect for local communities

In line with its "impACT" CSR approach, Expanscience has also supported FairWild certification for its wild Schisandra berry harvesting chain, from which the Sweetone Bio anti-imperfection active ingredient is extracted.

One of the main aims of this certification is to guarantee the sustainability of the management of non-cultivated resources. Schisandra sphenanthera is a wild climbing plant native to central and western China, also found in Korea and Japan. It is referenced in traditional Chinese medicine.

As a common resource for cosmetic ingredients, non-cultivated plants must be carefully managed to ensure compliance with rigorous, reasoned practices that respect the resource and its habitat. This management ensures that the quantities harvested are in line with the quantities available, and that harvesting practices guarantee the renewal and preservation of the resource and its environment.

The first pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetic laboratory and the first supplier of cosmetic ingredients to be B Corp certified in 2018, Expanscience has been a member of the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT) since 2011. Now a "company with a mission", the company is committed to working for the common good through its raison d'être "helping individuals shape their well-being" and has set itself a series of social and environmental objectives such as contributing "to achieving global climate goals" and "protecting and regenerating biodiversity". Supporting partners in the certification of their supply chains is part of this approach.

Expanscience in brief :

  • 4 activities: Dermo-Cosmetics, Rheumatology, Dermatology, Active Cosmetics
  • 2021 sales: €287.2m, including 74 % from international sales
  • 1098 employees and 14 subsidiaries
  • 3.2% of sales invested in research and development

About FairWild certification

The growing demand for wild plants - for food, cosmetics, wellness and medicines - can be detrimental to potentially vulnerable plant species. The FairWild standard and its certification system provide a global framework for the sustainable collection and fair trade of ingredients from wild plants. Companies participating in FairWild can make a positive contribution to the conservation and management of wild species and landscapes, and to the livelihoods of the rural communities that depend on them.

* Clinical study conducted with Calybiota Bio formulated at 1,25% in a cleansing gel and cream and used in combination every day for 28 days on 4 groups of women (post-vaginosis, post-mycosis, irritation and post-menopause; n=48).

The underestimated effects of the sun on the skin

By
editocom
-

Today, sun protection is a real public health issue: every year, a large number of skin cancers are detected worldwide as a result of excessive exposure to the sun's rays. In addition, sun exposure is recognized as a factor in premature skin aging and other dermatological pathologies. To gain a better understanding of people's sun habits, La Roche-Posay and Ipsos have just carried out a large-scale epidemiological study involving 17,000 people in 17 countries.

The study was previewed in Boston in the "late breaking news" session of the AAD (American Academy of Dermatology) 2022 Annual Dermatology Meeting.

Bad habits and preconceived ideas die hard

Some 88 % of respondents do not systematically use protective measures when exposed to the sun, and 15 % never use sunscreen. Nearly half of respondents do not believe that sunscreens provide effective protection against skin cancer (50 %) and even sunburn (40 %).

This inadequate protection is largely due to preconceived ideas or a lack of knowledge about the sun's rays, according to which :

  • It would not be useful to protect oneself on cloudy days or during the winter. Thus, 77 % of respondents worldwide said they do not protect themselves from the sun all year round, but only on hot days and/or their vacations;
  • People who are already tanned would need less or no protection (according to 44 % of respondents);
  • It would not be essential to reapply sun protection. Only 26 % of respondents would apply it regularly, i.e. at least every two hours.

What's more, only 12 % of respondents in total, and 19 % of people with phototype 1 (very white, very sensitive skin, light hair and eyes), use all the protection they need when exposed to the sun. In addition to sunscreen, this includes: trying to stay in the shade (77 % of respondents), avoiding exposure between midday and 4pm (66 %), wearing sunglasses with UV filters (56 %), covering the head (55 %) or wearing protective clothing (44 %).

According to Pr Thierry Passeron, dermatologist in Nice, France: "This major international epidemiological study was essential to gain a better understanding of people's photoprotection habits. It demonstrates a real need for education, both in the general population and in so-called 'at-risk' populations, who, even if they protect themselves better, have limited knowledge of the risks of solar radiation. In particular, the La Roche-Posay study shows that 61% of respondents are unaware of the differences between UVA and UVB rays!

Insufficient sun protection reinforced by beauty standards and sun addiction

The return of sunny weather also signals the return of bad sun protection habits. These may have been encouraged by the numerous communications on the risks of vitamin D deficiency. In fact, 87 % of respondents claim that exposure to the sun enables them to synthesize vitamin D, and 82 % that sun exposure gives them energy.

Beauty standards are also to blame: 72 % of the world's population claim that tanned skin is attractive, 64 % that it gives the impression of good health, and 49 % that it's unthinkable to return from vacation without a tan.

A world population that often underestimates the importance of prevention

Although 88 % of respondents say they are aware that the sun can cause skin problems, and 81 % that it accelerates skin ageing, they are far from acting accordingly.

While self-monitoring of the skin enables early detection of any suspicious skin lesions, the general public often has limited knowledge in this area, and is often unaware of when to consult a dermatologist. What's more, 76 % of respondents said they don't regularly - if ever - consult a dermatologist to monitor their moles.

Lastly, 57 % of those questioned said they regretted not having protected themselves more from the sun in the past, but there are wide disparities:

  • Between men and women (49 % and 65 % respectively);
  • Between new and older generations (62 % of 18-24 year-olds, 65 % of 25-34 year-olds versus 47 % for over-60s);
  • Between at-risk profiles (with melanoma, pre-cancerous lesions, sun allergy or weakened immune system) and the rest of the population (79 % versus 54 %).

A growing public health issue

At a time when many scientists are warning of an increase in the number of cancers by 2050, bad habits persist. La Roche Posay believes that the world's population needs to be made aware of prevention tools, protection methods and the importance of early detection.

"As the No. 1 dermocosmetics brand recommended by dermatologists worldwide, it is our duty to raise public awareness of skin cancer prevention and, more broadly, of the harmful effects of the sun. For over 10 years, we have been conducting studies with scientists from all over the world, contributing to the training of professionals, and offering free screenings in over 30 countries worldwide. This global study proves that our awareness-raising work is far from over, and we will be pursuing our efforts to ensure that sun protection is recognized as a major public health issue".commented Laetitia Toupet, President of La Roche-Posay International.
