ISIPCA and Cosmetic Valley organize the 3rd Olfaction & Perspectives Congress on March 15 and 16 in Paris

ISIPCA - Start-up company

This professional congress is held every two years. It brings together the various academic and industrial players working on olfaction to define new fields of application and prospects for development.

Of the five human senses, olfaction is probably one of the least known, but also one of the most widely used and, above all, one of the most promising. The development of olfaction in everyday life promises considerable advances in fields as varied as food, cosmetics, medicine, the automotive industry and digital technology.
But to glimpse this olfactory future, we need to tame and better understand this sense, capitalize on what we've already learned and pursue research into olfaction.
The 2017 edition aims to study olfaction through 3 sessions:

Fragrances, Aromas and Olfaction

- First impressions and lasting memories: in search of olfactory imprints
- Olfaction and emotions: neurosurgery and the imagination
- Molecular structure and olfactory properties: what can we predict?
- Odor valence predetermination
- Smells and aromas: synthetic representations of chemical complexity

Olfaction and Health

- The role of olfaction in the assessment and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders
- Emotions processing related to olfactory environment in normal subjects and depressed patients :brain functional MRI findings
- Olfaction, aging and pathology: beyond the deficit. The effect of odors on the recovery of autobiographical memories in Alzheimer's disease.
- Anosmia: an invisible and little-known sensory handicap

 Olfaction & the 21st century

- Olfaction and virtual reality
- Héracles neo: the future of the electronic nose
- Scent and well-being for PSA Group vehicles
- From olfactory diagnosis to customer experience

EH adopts Quadpack's Airless Spray Tube for its new face mist

Fog - Emma Hardie

One of the distinguishing features of Emma Hardie's new moisturizing face mist is its packaging: an airless spray tube from Yonwoo, developed by Quadpack.

Plump & Glow Hydrating Facial Mist is enriched with moringa flower. Scientifically created for optimum performance, the mattifying particles form a nourishing layer that stimulates skin luminosity. Not surprisingly, the packaging is also high-tech.

The formula is presented in a tube specially designed to dispense a fine, even mist. The tube also preserves the integrity of the formula, thanks to the dual protection of Yonwoo's airless technology and Luxefoil's aluminum inner barrier. This protects the product from oxidation and external contamination.

The airless system is also compatible with 360-degree application, allowing the entire product to be used without waste. The tube flattens as the product is consumed, and the brand logo is always clearly visible. With a capacity of 90 ml, this nomadic format is ideal for air travel, to moisturize users' skin in the dry, artificial atmosphere of the cabin.

The Emma Hardie brand is screen-printed, and a logo embossed on a special aluminum cap enhances its high-end image.

"Our Plump and Glow Hydrating Facial Mist not only contains the most innovative skincare ingredients, it's also highly practical. We chose this soft, nomadic tube for ease of use in any circumstance; it's the ideal travel companion for any time you need extra hydration - dispensed in a uniquely generous cloud of fine mist," explained Helen Goldie, Director of Emma Hardie.

The project took just 10 weeks to complete. Launched in August 2016, Plump & Glow Hydrating Mist was the first spray in an airless tube to enter the European market. As with all its marketing initiatives, Emma Hardie took advantage of social networks to announce this new product: the brand observed a 48.7 % increase in its engagement rate on Instagram around this launch.

Biolie launches a new anti-aging active ingredient

Cosmetics industry - Start-up company

Biolie launches Sylver, an anti-aging active ingredient derived from beech crowns. Known as the "tree of eternal youth", beech trees can live up to 250 years.

Tested on skin explants, Sylver stimulates collagen synthesis of 214% and protects fibrillin from glycation, while inducing its synthesis of 82%. It also reduces production of the cytokines IL6 and IL8, responsible for inflammation. Finally, Sylver combats cutaneous ageing by redensifying the epidermis through its action on neuritogenesis. The results of the clinical study on this patented and China Compliant active ingredient will be unveiled at In Cosmetics 2017.

On January 26, 2017, Thépenier Pharma and Orléans Cosmetics joined forces.
This merger is part of a drive to accelerate the globalization strategy of the Nippon Shikizai group, of which Thépenier Pharma is a subsidiary, which is conditioned in particular by the strengthening of its presence in Europe and its long-standing roots in the French tradition of luxury cosmetics.

Highly beneficial synergy effects are expected from this strategic acquisition.

The creative potential in make-up and skincare products of the Nippon Shikizai group, recognized for the innovative character, quality and sensoriality of its textures by the major international players in the luxury sector, is enriched by the capacity of the Orléans Cosmetics R&D laboratory to develop products recognized for their high standards and competitiveness.

Texen revealed its innovations at the PCD show in Paris

Face powder - Cosmetics industry

Texen presented its latest innovations, encouraging brands to make them their own challenges.
Created by the TexenLab unit, this showcase illustrates Texen's technological and creative avant-garde, and its commitment to global solutions that anticipate new consumer expectations.

New-generation applicators
In partnership with some of its plastics suppliers, Texen presented a range of applicators and sponges designed to create a new sensorial make-up experience.
In addition to materials such as ceramic and silicone, Texen has chosen thermoplastic for its supple, silky texture. Applicators and sponges, for eyebrow, lip and complexion make-up respectively, use the very latest technologies, including the Mucell process. The aim of this process is to achieve optimum results in terms of comfort, suppleness, cleanliness and perfect restitution of the formula, with no wastage.

Smart packaging
In partnership with the E-Ink company, Texen presented an interactive solution based on the use of a miniaturized, battery-free screen. Thanks to NFC technology, the make-up box or case presented here offers consumers, via an NFC phone, selected information such as tutorials, instructions for use, product information...
The use of this type of technology meets brands' new expectations in terms of interactive information.

3D printing
Thanks to additive manufacturing technology, Texen is expanding the range of possible designs and, consequently, make-up renderings, also enabling greater reactivity. No more molds, easily produced prototypes, brands gain in terms of budget and time to market. 3D Printing allows for the flexibility of specific animations and differentiating small production runs. Consumers, for their part, are enjoying the discovery of new-look packaging with a fresh design. In particular, Texen is previewing mascara brushes that are daring and make all the difference.

 

 

Strand Cosmetics Europe expands to New York

Sunscreen - Facial care

2017 sounds like a return to its roots for Strand Cosmetics Europe, which opened an office in Brooklyn, its original neighborhood in 1926, before the creation of the European subsidiary in Lyon in 1964, then the takeover of the company by the Raguin, Bouvier and Salin families in 1981.
The company is demonstrating its intention to build trusting and close relationships with American cosmetic brands.

Some of them are already customers, and they are interested in Strand Cosmetics Europe's formulation know-how, recognized in Europe and Asia, and its ability to offer sensorial textures and innovative active ingredients. The R&D and Technological Innovations department, with 30 employees, also has a thorough knowledge of the American regulatory framework, while the company is accredited to manufacture OTC products.

Jacques de Prémare joins Strand Cosmetics Europe as junior business manager. He will manage the American operations from New York in partnership with Nathalie Dessirier, senior business manager. Both will report to Denis Richard-Orliange, sales and marketing director of Strand Cosmetics Europe.

Gattefossé launches a new active ingredient at in-cosmetics London: Gatuline Link n Lift

Cosmetics industry - Solvent in chemical reactions

Gatuline Link n Lift targets the specific eye contour area. Extracted from NaDES (Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents) organic horse chestnut flowers, this new active ingredient revitalizes fibroblasts and acts on the dermal-epidermal junction to reconnect the dermis to the epidermis. Eye contour wrinkles are visibly reduced, and the eyes regain their youthful radiance.

Functionality and communication restored 

The action of Gatuline Link n Lift has been proven in vitroin the dermis and dermal-epidermal junction:

  •        It acts deep in the dermis to boost the dynamism and mobility of fibroblasts, helping the skin to fight against the degradation of the extra-cellular matrix;
  •        strengthens the dermal-epidermal junction by stimulating the synthesis of key components involved in dermal-epidermal cohesion and communication.

Clinically proven effectiveness

Used at 2 % in formulation, Gatuline Link n Lift acts visibly on all eye contour wrinkles: crow's feet, sub-ocular wrinkles and tear trough. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study confirms the rejuvenating effect on the eye contour, with the first visible effects in just 2 weeks. Wrinkles are smoothed, skin is toned and softer.

Responsible sourcing

Gatuline Link n Lift is the first cosmetic active ingredient derived from the horse chestnut flower, using NaDES technology, and is rich in active molecules found only in the flower.

NaDES technology enables the extraction of components inaccessible with standard solvents. Natural, non-toxic and effective at low temperatures, this technology is in line with Gattefossé's policy of providing high-quality, high-performance, sustainable ingredients.

Horse chestnut blossoms are harvested by hand in the Ardèche region of France, in compliance with eco-responsible sourcing practices.

This natural active ingredient is certified organic.
