Arcade Beauty launches a global solution consisting of a mini-bottle available in three applications: Ecoroll, Dady and Minidrip. The standard glass bottle is combined with three original applicators, for three different uses, each enabling precise application and perfect dosage of the formula.

This line, developed for perfumes, skincare and fluid make-up, is ideal for beauty kits, promotional boxes, complete treatment kits and travel kits.

The bottle is made of drawn glass. Capacity varies from 1.5 to 6 ml, depending on diameter and height.

Ecoroll is a simplified, patented roller ball with a simple snap-on cover.
It combines a roll-on ball, in glass, plastic or metal, whose application provides relaxation and freshness, and perfectly diffuses the formula on the skin.
Just introduced to the market, this product is already winning over skincare and fragrance brands in its unique mini-version.
Dady is based on a highly innovative tigelle whose split end captures the fragrance in the bottle, increasing comfort and application quantity. This flexible stem integrates an ergonomic gripper in a single piece, guaranteeing perfect closure with a simple click.

These two new products join the already existing :

Minidrip is a miniature dropper featuring a collar and dip tube topped by a flexible nipple. Perfect for use with skincare products, oils, serums, etc.
This offer is accompanied by creative marketing in terms of mini-packaging or mini-display to enhance perceived value, the gift effect or in-store presentation.

These mini products are packaged in full service in Biopack Arcade Beauty's French factory in Val-de-Reuil, France. Creative packaging (cases, cards, envelopes, etc.) is provided by Carestia Arcade Beauty in Grasse.

DuPont Performance Materials (DPM) announces the selection of Dupont's Hytrel TPC-ET thermoplastic elastomer for the production of an innovative mascara brush.

This is the latest jewel in the crown of a long-standing collaboration between DPM and SIMP, a French SME with global reach thanks to its expertise in micro-injection. It produces 35 % of the market's plastic applicators, for the world's leading cosmetics companies.

Combining strength, flexibility and mechanical resistance, DuPont's Hytrel TPC-ET thermoplastic elastomer is inherently well suited to the production of make-up items. With Hytrel, DuPont and SIMP have found the perfect balance between technical requirements and functionality to meet growing market demand for high compatibility between material and shape.

" We are delighted to see that the flexibility and versatility of our resin can be used to design innovative and aesthetically pleasing products in the shapes specially created by SIMP. "confides Alexandra Fabbro, Business development leader EMEA, DuPont.

Hytrel provides a single material solution for parts that previously required a whole range of components. Thanks to its excellent cross-linking properties and resistance to bending fatigue, this material can be used for a wide range of applications. And when combined with ease of processing and the right tools, this unique thermoplastic polymer becomes particularly well-suited to the creation of an injected mascara brush.

" We're proud that our collaboration with DuPont has enabled us to adapt this high-performance resin to a new application that will be the talk of the town. Flexible yet decoratable, this novel mascara brush is set to become a trendy must-have. This joint venture further strengthens our passion for innovation! "says Eric de Bardonnèche, Sales and R&D manager, SIMP.

The collaboration between DuPont and SIMP is based on a shared desire to develop original cosmetic solutions while responding to new market trends - and Hytrel has been the key ingredient in this collaboration for over ten years. This new mascara brush is just one example of a high-performance solution that directly benefits end-user comfort. It also demonstrates DuPont's commitment to bio-based polymers, which reduce the use of fossil fuels without compromising material performance.

The mission of the new Silab softcare department is to research, produce and market innovative natural active ingredients, specially designed to respond to dermatological disorders by restoring the homeostasis of healthy skin.

A pioneer in the engineering of natural cosmetic active ingredients, Silab now addresses the dermocosmetic and dermatological markets. Silab softcare draws on the expertise, capacity for innovation and responsiveness of the Silab organization to extend the skills developed for healthy skin to the problems of fragile skin.

For over 5 years, a team of multi-disciplinary researchers, including molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, clinical experts and process engineers, has been deploying the latest tools and advanced technologies from the healthcare sector to gain a deeper understanding of skin eco-systems. It has designed an original scientific research program, based on modelling in vitro and in vivo validated by the international dermatological community, to offer a product in powder form without preservatives, based on three principles of excellence: efficacy, safety and naturalness.

The first phase of Silab softcare's development has resulted in the launch of Ad-Resyl, a patented natural active ingredient designed to improve the comfort and resilience of atopic skin. This product prevents the clinical signs of atopic dermatitis by prolonging periods of remission in place of corticosteroid therapy. Tested on cohorts of Caucasian and Asian subjects, children and/or adults, Ad-Resyl meets the many requirements of patients seeking care and comfort to restore their skin's health: clinically proven efficacy, optimal skin tolerance, controlled natural raw materials.

" Silab is an independent French group with a long-term strategy of organic growth. Our innovation in the beauty care of healthy skin has been recognized worldwide for 30 years, and our expertise in cutaneous biology has led us to naturally broaden our field of research to include fragile skin. The ambitions of this new department are numerous, and other research projects have already been launched (acne, scarring, etc.). "says Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Executive Vice President, Research, Silab.

Cosmetics and perfumes: natural ? Of natural origin ?

7 September 2016

The Société des experts chimistes de France (SECF), in partnership with the École supérieure de chimie organique et minérale (ESCOM) and the Université technologique de Compiègne (UTC), is organizing a scientific and professional day entitled:

"Cosmetics and Fragrances: Natural? Of natural origin?"

The concept of naturalness has become a marketing argument for products, particularly in the cosmetics and fragrance sector, where claims about the naturalness of products are not subject to a well-defined body of regulations capable of giving consumers full confidence.

This scientific and professional day is aimed at researchers, producers, distributors, etc. in the cosmetics and fragrances sector, as well as teachers and representatives of organizations involved in regulatory affairs, product monitoring and control.

One of the original features of the Journées is that they also involve researchers, doctoral candidates and students, so as to raise their awareness of issues they will encounter very quickly in their professional careers. The association of Escom and UTC with this event is part of this approach.

The aim of this day is to give players in the "Cosmetics and Fragrances" sector a clear and realistic overview of the means available to them to guarantee and assess the "natural" character of their products.

The program will focus first and foremost on the challenges facing society, the state of regulations and foreseeable developments. Scientific and technical conferences will present the criteria for assessing the traceability and naturalness of products, as well as advances in analytical methods and techniques. An exhibition area will also enable suppliers of products, analytical equipment and marking/detection devices to present their latest developments.

Registration is now open and can be done via Weezevent : https://www.weezevent.com/naturalite-cp

21 July 2016

The carbohydrate and natural products valorization center (CVG), which has been in business for over 30 years, is changing its name to Extractis. The aim of this change is to better reflect the company's activities, its core business and its expertise in the field of plant extraction.

Today, Extractis is one of France's leading players in the field of plant-based biorefineries. Its ambition is to become a European leader within ten years. Only its name has changed, while its values and missions remain the same: "to transform an idea into a product", i.e. to design and develop innovative products and/or processes in line with technical specifications and the price of acceptance in the target sector.

The name change is also the fruit of a new development strategy, particularly internationally. Extractis has established a strong position in the French market and French-speaking countries, and now wishes to roll out this model across Europe and internationally, adopting a name that can be transposed and understood by non-French-speaking companies.

Extractis is an agro-industrial technical institute specializing in the extraction, purification and functionalization of plant biomass. Over 30 years' know-how, and more than €11 million of equipment spread over more than 3,500 m2. The institute works on around a hundred projects a year, in cosmetics, food, nutraceuticals, health and technical additives. Its core business is contract research and development on all types of plant materials, using innovative technologies such as ultrasound, membrane electrodialysis and reactive extrusion. Extractis, which is ISO 9001 certified, also has a service platform dedicated to the design of turnkey projects, from the laboratory to product industrialization, offering scale-up, transfer and pre-production to test or optimize a unit operation, validate test markets, as well as shaping.
