G.Pivaudran tests recycled aluminum

Industry - Cosmetic industry

g.pivaudran, a French company, designs and produces innovative, made-to-measure metal objects, mainly in aluminum, for the worldwide perfume, cosmetics and spirits markets.
At g.pivaudran, metal is used in its purest form.

Drawing on years of experience and perfectly mastered technology, the company has been testing the possibility of integrating recycled aluminum into its production for several months now.

Aluminium, an infinitely recyclable material

Alongside its aluminum suppliers, g.pivaudran has initiated discussions and technical trials to ascertain the extent to which it would be appropriate to incorporate recycled aluminum in the deep-drawn parts produced, without altering the possibilities offered by this material in terms of shaping.

Encouraging initial results

"Things are speeding up, and we can announce today that the first tests carried out by our teams on new aluminum rollers, allow us to go one step further. We're making progress. We're now in a second wave of tests, and we're continuing to work to guarantee our customers reliable, high-quality, sustainable production of all-recycled aluminum solutions," says Marc Pivaudran, President of g.pivaudran.

Recycled aluminum appeals to brands 

"By working at a very early stage with our customers, we will soon be able to offer brands recycled aluminum products in the responsible luxury sector," adds Marc Pivaudran. "After the first encouraging tests, the challenge now is to accelerate the development of innovative responsible solutions and dare to break certain codes in the luxury sector", explains Hervé Delaigue, g.pivaudran Sales & Development Director.

On the occasion of his participation in the PCD trade show, and even if this sector has yet to be organized, g.pivaudran will present some initial leads on this new field of prospects.

Texen launches Beautifull Skin, a new skin care routine

Product - Cosmetic industry

Following on from the Beautifull Lips range of applicators presented last year, Texen is launching a skincare product called Beautifull Skin; a jar and Mucell applicator for two-in-one use.
Combined with a standard jar produced by the Rose site, the cap plays a double role. In addition to its sealing function, it puts the texture and density of Mucell at the service of a new cosmetic gesture.
Once the formula has been applied to the skin, simply reposition the cap on the jar and grasp the set to penetrate the active ingredients, gently stimulating micro-circulation, exfoliating and relaxing.... That's why Beautifull Skin is ideal for rich skin care.
A small aesthetic plus, Mucell injection can easily follow the decor chosen by the brand.

Mucell, an exclusive technology

The Texen Lab continues to develop applications based on Mucell technology, for which the group has exclusive cosmetic rights. This modulable-textured material can be used to meet brand objectives through targeted application modes.

A responsible applicator

Following an eco-design logic, the applicator part of the lid detaches from its base, facilitating recycling of the jar and cap. The applicator is also completely repositionable, making it easy to clean from one use to the next.

Beautifull Skin will be presented in prototype form at PCD, packaged with Agrimer's Caviar végétal scrub.
