Since its takeover by GPack in November 2017, Alliora has been revamping and refining its offering to cosmetics and wine & spirits brands. Thanks to a recent internal restructuring and the solid investments currently being made on its site, Alliora intends to become a center of expertise for the group.
Renowned for its French excellence in the manufacture of cardboard boxes, Alliora has experienced a significant development over the past year. By acquiring the French company, GPack, a specialist in the manufacture of cardboard boxes and cases, intended to turn it into a premium pole in Europe.

Successful reconciliation

On Monday April 9, Alliora signed its "majority company agreement" with its social partners, following negotiations aimed at adjusting the company's size. The serene climate in which this agreement was reached augurs well for the future.
"This new organization will help ensure the company's future, both economically and socially," explains the group's management.

Optimization required

True to its objective, at the start of the year the Gpack group launched a series of investments designed to give Alliora the means to achieve its new positioning: reorganization of teams and tasks, installation of new machines, review of production flows and consolidation of the scope of expertise.
The forthcoming installation of 4 new-generation Emmeci machines will make production faster and more efficient.
Thanks to this initiative, Alliora is entering a new era and consolidating its offering to customers.

The artificial visible light emitted by the screens of our smartphones, tablets and computers acts as an additional environmental stress on the skin. For the first time, a preliminary study to precisely characterize the spectrum of light emitted by screens has been carried out by Gattefossé, and a device has been developed to recreate this same light.

The results show that exposure to screen light leads to increased cell fatigue and disrupts the morphology and behavior of skin cells, affecting their mobility and communication properties. On the skin's surface, the complexion appears dull and lacks vitality.

The cheerful Merci Handy brand, made famous for its cleansing hand gels, has chosen Albéa tubes for its hand cream range.
The white plastic tubes proudly display an offset-printed fingerprint design in 5 different shades: blue, green, red, pink and yellow.
A "Unicorn Edition" tube version with holographic hot stamping adds to the range.
The matte finish provides a velvety feel and depth of color.

The "drum" screw cap was deliberately chosen with a smaller diameter than that of the tube, for a highly aesthetic overall look.

"We're very proud of our hand cream packaging, which is an iconic Merci Handy reference. Simple and colorful, sharp in design and soft to the touch, it's now a handbag staple," explains Maud Cariddi, Merci Handy's Director of Product Development.

The 30ml tubes in diameter 25 are manufactured at Albéa Argonne, the Group's global center of excellence for tubes.

Deinove and Greentech announce the launch of hebelys, the result of their collaboration

Deinove, a biotech company that discovers, develops and produces high value-added compounds from rare bacteria, and Greentech, a major player in the production and distribution of biotech-derived ingredients, today announce the launch of Hebelys, the first anti-aging active resulting from the collaboration initiated in March 2017.

Hebelys was presented on Greentech's stand at the In-cosmetics Global trade show, which took place in Amsterdam from April 17 to 19, 2018.

This anti-aging active ingredient is obtained by fermentation of a bacterium of the Sphingomonas genus, a rare micro-organism from Deinove's strain library.
In tests, Hebelys demonstrated its ability to preserve the skin's youthful appearance, by acting on various parameters: protection against oxidation, stimulation of collagen, elastin and fibrillin synthesis... Hebelys has a significant and proven action on the expression of the p16 I INK4A protein, a key factor in premature cellular aging.
Hebelys protects the skin, restoring its density, suppleness and elasticity. It is visibly rejuvenated.

Hebelys is the first ingredient to emerge from the collaboration between Deinove and Greentech, the fruit of a combination of complementary skills: Deinove selected the strain, developed the production process to achieve optimum fermentation performance, and supervised the in vitro tests designed to characterize the extract; Greentech developed the formulation process, and validated stability and safety, as well as efficacy through additional ex vivo tests.

Hebelys will be marketed effectively by Greentech.

Jean-Yves Berthon, CEO of Greentech, comments: "This first collaboration is a real success. Hebelys is a very fine active ingredient, totally in line with our catalog and our ambition to offer high-tech active ingredients to the cosmetics industry.

Emmanuel Petiot, Managing Director of Deinove adds: "The joint work of two teams has been very rewarding. We're proud to have met Greentech's expectations in terms of innovation and to have produced a commercial product so quickly, and we intend to continue along this path."

Cosmetic Valley in force at In Cosmetics Global

45 cluster companies will be showcasing their cutting-edge Made in France expertise in cosmetic ingredients and measurement.
Held this year in Amsterdam and dedicated to ingredients and raw materials for cosmetics, the In Cosmetics Global international trade show is one of the must-attend events for the perfumery-cosmetics industry: the global cosmetics ingredients market is worth $21.4 million, and is forecast to reach $26.8 billion by 2020!

France will once again be represented by Cosmetic Valley, whose ever-expanding pavilion will welcome 45 companies from all over France to an area of nearly 500 sq.m., offering exhibitors increased visibility, turnkey stands and the conviviality of a dynamic group. Notable innovations include the objectification of products by Bio-Ec laboratories in partnership with Laboratoire Genex, the launch of INBATA France's new "Stemprotect" active ingredient, and Orion Concept's measurement techniques for clinical studies.

A first: Laboratoire Bio-Ec's lecture on "Exploring the skin stressosome through an innovative approach", on its exclusive methods for studying the "stressosome" thanks to the combination of their histological and genomic expertise (Thursday April 19, 12.10pm, Theater 2).

Deinove launches Phyt-N-Resist, the first pure Phytoene dedicated to cosmetic care

Deinove (Euronext Growth Paris: ALDEI), a biotechnology company that discovers, develops and produces high value-added compounds from rare bacteria, in particular from the Deinococcus genus, announces the official launch of its innovative carotenoid as a cosmetic active ingredient.
Phytoene is a colorless carotenoid obtained by fermentation of natural sugars by the extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus geothermalis.

Created by Deinove and composed of phytoene concentrated in refined jojoba oil, Phyt - N - Resist helps fight skin aging by reducing oxidative stress and accelerating skin regeneration.
Its efficacy and safety have been successfully demonstrated in in vitro, ex vivo and clinical studies.
Various dermo-cosmetic formulations have been developed, demonstrating ease of formulation and satisfactory stability. Thanks to the high-temperature stability of this active ingredient, it could also be incorporated into make-up formulas.

A breakthrough innovation in active ingredients of natural origin:

Nature is an extraordinary laboratory, capable of designing high value-added molecules. Both skin cells and plants depend on a common substance to protect them from oxidative stress: Phytoene, the original precursor of all carotenoids. However, unlike plants, the skin is unable to synthesize it. Phytoene is therefore one of those essential molecules that must be supplied through the diet or other supplements.
Until now, there has been no way of extracting pure Phytoene, as none of the existing plant-based production processes can produce it. These processes only produce a mixture of less concentrated carotenoids with varying degrees of stability and coloration.
By harnessing the extraordinary resources of biomimicry and symbiosis, and taking full advantage of the potential of Deinococcus geothermalis, an extremophilic UV-resistant bacterium, Deinove has generated the bioproduction of pure Phytoene for the very first time.

Phyt-N-Resist: extensive anti-aging properties

Carotenoids are known for their anti-oxidant properties. Phyt-N-Resist has successfully demonstrated its ability to reduce the proportion of lipoperoxidation products appearing after cell exposure to UV radiation. Phytoene accumulates in cell membranes to prevent cellular degradation. By protecting lipid membranes from free radicals and peroxidation, Phyt-N-Resist helps to reduce the harmful consequences of oxidation and, ultimately, slow down skin ageing.
Deinove has taken this breakthrough approach a step further, by deploying a systematic, multi-dimensional screening process for its active ingredients. This comprehensive, innovative approach has enabled us to highlight a hitherto unexploited feature of the carotenoid family: stimulation of cell renewal. Skin cells are able to regenerate under the action of Phytoene.

These properties were subsequently confirmed by an in-depth clinical study, which proved conclusive in demonstrating the beneficial effect of Phtyoene on skin firmness and elasticity, as well as on radiance. What's more, Phyt - N - Resist has a marked anti-wrinkle action.
These properties make Phyt-N-Resist a complete anti-ageing active ingredient.

Emmanuel Petiot, CEO of Deinove, comments: "We are delighted to present Phyt-N-Resist, our first innovative carotenoid for cosmetic use. Our teams have done a remarkable job in bringing this project to fruition and launching our first commercial product on time. The contacts made so far with cosmetics players have proved conclusive, and we look forward to presenting it to the entire cosmetics industry in Amsterdam."

Greentech restores the balance of healthy skin to problematic skin

Greentech's latest innovations focus on skin protection with a 360° approach: photo-protection with Soliberine, pollution protection with Urbalys, and microflora protection with Biotilys.
Today, Greentech takes care of problem skin, a major preoccupation for young people as well as adults, since the hormonal environment, pollution, stress and nutritional factors are all aggravating factors in the appearance of acne.
Acnilys, launched at In Cosmetics in April, is a multifunctional active ingredient of plant origin (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa berry), which acts on this physiopathology by intervening on all the pathways involved to prevent skin disorders and imperfections in oily skin.

A triple action restores their balance while playing:

- Prevention of hyperseborrhea: Acnilys regulates sebum production and inhibits 5-α-reductase activity.
- Limiting microbial proliferation :
Acnilys reduces P. acnes proliferation and its deleterious effects.
- Modulation of inflammation: Acnilys reduces the production of lipid mediators of inflammation induced by oxidized squalene.

The result? skin that's better moisturized, more radiant, finer-textured, even-toned without redness or blemishes, with a fresh, healthy look.
