Compatible polyvinyl alcohols for the cosmetics industry: Kuraray and IMCD forge partnership

Cosmetic industry - Industry

Thanks to their low methanol content, Kuraray Poval's new PVOHs are particularly suitable for cosmetic applications. Users will benefit from the alliance with IMCD for distribution and technical support.
Skincare and cosmetic products are subject to very strict requirements. They must not only give the skin a smooth, natural appearance, but also guarantee high tolerance and present no health risks. Kuraray, one of the world's leading manufacturers of specialty chemicals, has developed a new range of products tailored to the needs of the cosmetics industry. Thanks to their particularly low methanol content, Kuraray Poval's LV types are environmentally friendly and safe to use.

"The methanol content of the LV types in our Kuraray Poval brand is ten times lower than that of conventional polyvinyl alcohols (PVOH)," says Heiko Mack, Head of Poval Business at Kuraray. "We are therefore offering a substance that can be used to create cosmetic products that are better tolerated." Kuraray Poval's LV grades have been specially designed for the cosmetics industry, and come with appropriate regulatory data sheets. They have a methanol (MeOH) content of less than 0.3 %. To achieve such a result, PVOH-based substances are subjected to a complex cleaning process.

Kuraray is also counting on a new strategic partnership. IMCD Personal Care, the world's leading distributor of materials for the manufacture of cosmetics and toiletries, will take charge of sales and technical activities. "With IMCD, we can now count on a strong ally in the fields of distribution and technical support." Customers will benefit from the quality of Kuraray products and IMCD's solid expertise in developing new formulas for the cosmetics industry.

A partnership to meet the stringent demands of the cosmetics industry

The partnership between Kuraray and IMCD in the field of cosmetic applications covers markets in Europe, Africa and America. IMCD's team of experts constantly analyzes market trends and develops customized solutions to respond to new trends. The company's products range from additives and active ingredients to functional and sensorial ingredients for all areas of body care. IMCD also offers a range of other services to meet specific needs, including problem-solving, formulation guidelines and prototype sample production.

Quality PVOH-based substances for a wide range of applications

The cosmetics industry is just one of the many areas of application for Kuraray Poval's PVOH. As the world's leading manufacturer of PVOH-based plastics, Kuraray offers materials with physical and chemical properties suited to all kinds of activities. Polyvinyl alcohol resins are used in the paper, adhesive, textile and construction industries, as well as in ceramics, packaging and electronic circuits. 3D printing, meanwhile, is a whole new field of application. With Mowiflex 2000, Kuraray offers a unique support filament that can be used to print high-quality supports for complex filigree and overhanging structures. Water-soluble and biodegradable, this material is easily removed after printing.

Biotic Phocea laboratories launch a new organic anti-pollution range

Lotion - Skin care

Founded by Doctor Tiziano in 1999, Laboratoires BIOTIC Phocea has established itself for over 20 years as the benchmark French and European manufacturer of sterile pigments for medical dermopigmentation and permanent make-up. Drawing on their medical expertise and R&D know-how, they have also specialized for over 10 years in the white-label manufacture of organic and natural cosmetics for SMEs and cosmetics brands.
Certified Qualité France and ISO 22716, the company has just obtained the Cosmos Organic label for all its products, guaranteeing 95 to 100 % of natural ingredients, 95% minimum of natural ingredients on all ingredients that can be organic (such as plants, beeswax, milk...) and 20% minimum of organic ingredients on the total product instead of the 10% previously required by the Cosmebio label, a guarantee of quality.

After the dermo-cosmetic range, it is now launching a new organic anti-pollution face range, resolutely trendy and urban, comprising 6 formulas (scrub, mask, eye contour, light cream, rich cream and serum), available in 2 fragrances to meet all the needs of the industry. This line, uniquely formulated with anti-pollution green and brown algae extracts, hydrating and anti-aging hyaluronic acid, organic aloe vera, organic shea butter and organic rose hip, creates an invisible shield on the skin, protecting it from pollution, regenerating and nourishing cells for a fresh, radiant, rested complexion.

Based in Marseille, in Provence, and with its own formulation and production center, Laboratoires Biotic Phocea guarantees 100% French manufacturing and total traceability of the entire production chain.
This family-run business on a human scale relies on innovation, certified organic formulations and impeccable responsiveness to make the difference. The company targets beauty centers, spas, aesthetic clinics, distributors and companies wishing to launch their own cosmetics brand, offering a full range of face and body care products: serums, masks, day creams, night creams, cleansing milk, etc., which can be produced in small quantities on the basis of "turnkey" formulations (from 100 units) or made-to-measure (from 1000 units). In all, the company has more than 60 different formulations, composed of at least 95% of natural ingredients, and certified organic, as well as made-to-measure formulas.

Able to create a cosmetics range in just 3 months for turnkey formulations, and in just 9 months for totally customized formulations, Biotic Phocea takes charge of every stage, from specifications to customized packaging, including regulatory aspects, packaging and product claims.
"With an R&D laboratory and a completely sterile room for the manufacture of pigments for the medical sector, it seemed important to us to be able to offer the profession the benefit of our medical know-how in terms of quality. We only offer organic or vegan formulations, as well as tailor-made formulations to all SMEs in the sector wishing to create their own brand", explains Sandie Tiziano- Schaer, Director of Laboratoires Biotic Phocea.
Backed by its reliability and know-how, the company has already won over many brands, thanks to the high percentage of organic ingredients in its formulas, averaging over 75%. The company is present in 56 countries on 5 continents.

Aqualgae, Lessonia's new range of ingredients

Beauty - Cosmetic industry

 Lessonia has just launched a new range of ingredients called Aqualgae, algae waters designed to replace pure water in cosmetic formulations. A real opportunity for brands and laboratories wishing to increase their naturalness and organic rates.
Specialized in seaweed processing since its creation, Lessonia has succeeded in recovering the water that forms the basis of seaweed through an innovative process based on the evaporation and condensation of water vapor from fresh seaweed, harvested by hand on the coast of Brittany. A precious ingredient that is fully in line with the "upcycling" trend, and highly interesting for cosmetic formulation. 

Aqualgae waters are 99.1% natural and organic, with 100% derived from the constitution of the algae. Crystal-clear, they are a real boost to the naturalness and organic content of cosmetic products. What's more, these waters are odorless and colorless. All you have to do is dive into Aqualgae and choose between palmaria, laminaria or himanthalia water. proposed by Lessonia.

Quadpack is now listed on Euronext Growth

Beauty - Cosmetic industry
Quadpack, manufacturer and distributor of packaging for beauty products, has made its debut on Euronext Growth on the Paris stock exchange. Following Euronext's approval of its listing last October, the IPO price per share was set at €32.8, for a market capitalization of €138 million. These new resources will help finance the company's double-digit growth, averaging 20% over the past five years.
Quadpack was first listed on Euronext Access (then Marché Libre) on April 21, 2016 at €8.43 per share. Today, their value has quadrupled. It has to be said that, in the meantime, Quadpack has more than doubled its business volume, from €55 million at the end of 2015 to €130 million in fiscal 2019.
Quadpack's development strategy combines organic and external growth. Since 2013, a number of companies have been acquired, enabling it to open up new market prospects and diversify its offering. The most recent acquisitions concern the German packaging manufacturer Louvrette and the exclusive marketing rights to the bi-injection blow-molding technology developed by the German technology company Inotech. These two operations reinforce Quadpack's leading position in terms of manufacturing and innovation in the cosmetics packaging sector. The agreement with Inotech also provides for the takeover of Quadpack's cosmetics business and the creation of a research and development partnership to further develop the acquired technology.
Quadpack CEO and co-founder Tim Eaves commented: "Our growth is the result of successful organic and external development, based on sustainability. Euronext's stock market model will enable us to learn, and raise finance, progressively in an increasingly regulated environment. Our listing on Euronext Growth will enable us to explore new opportunities and pursue our development, always with respect for people, planet and profits.
With a public listing as a potential next step in its evolution, Quadpack will pursue its growth strategy, which has already earned it a position among the top 10 suppliers of beauty packaging in Europe.

Beautigloo, the first refrigerated beauty box is now available for pre-order

Refrigerator - Beauty

After two years of research and development, the French start-up Beautigloo is ready to revolutionize the daily life of skincare addicts!
Developed with the support of a dermatologist, the Refrigerated Beauty Box preserves the properties of cosmetics and boosts their effectiveness, while being environmentally friendly.

A beauty innovation designed for consumers seeking efficiency and well-being.

According to Kantar Media, more than 20% of women in Europe put their cosmetics in the refrigerator, for lack of adapted solutions. An impractical and unhygienic solution, rarely at the right temperature.
With its innovation, Beautigloo offers a suitable environment for cosmetics. Its optimal temperature of 10°C, regulated by thermostat, protects the cosmetics by providing freshness and performance. Thanks to its ventilated cooling, the presence of humidity is limited. Creams, eye care products, masks, nail polish, perfumes, natural ingredients... all benefit from being stored in the Refrigerated Beauty Box.

A design and durable beauty device

It is an efficient, practical and environmentally friendly beauty case.
"In addition to having a low energy consumption, our product is 98% recyclable and does not have any polluting refrigerant. As for its thermal system, it has been designed to last more than 20 years!" explains Florian Ménard, co-founder and technical director.

Unlike small refrigerators, the Refrigerated Beauty Box is 100% silent. Thanks to its patented system, it is totally inaudible (less than 20 decibels) and is also discreet at night thanks to its screen standby system. Placed in the bedroom or in the bathroom, it allows you to enjoy the best of your cosmetics in complete peace.

A refrigerated vanity 100% Made in France

Designed and manufactured in France, this quality product uses several cutting-edge technologies and meets the highest standards. By pre-ordering it now on www.beautigloo.com, the start-up guarantees an early delivery, starting in March 2020.

Co-founded by two young entrepreneurs, Clara Lizier and Florian Ménard, Beautigloo aims to preserve beauty through a range of innovative products that optimize the effectiveness of cosmetics. Supported by the Cosmetics Ecosystem, Beautigloo is part of the Sephora Europe Accelerate 2019 and has just joined the LVMH gas pedal at Station F. The startup is also supported by the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster.
