TechnicoFlor, a French perfume composition house, supplies the biggest names in Perfumery, Cosmetics and Hygiene, and its fragrances are used in numerous applications worldwide: eau de toilettes, body and face care, shower gels, shampoos, hydro-alcoholic gels.... Constantly on the lookout for new creative directions, TechnicoFlor has now turned its attention to the world of the Metaverse, at the heart of all desire, to create a collection of 8 Eau de Toilette fragrances with never-before-seen scents. 

The Metaverse revolutionizes the beauty industry

The metaverse, digitally accessible The computer-generated environment now makes it possible to buy virtual fashion items and accessories, discover new environments and attend product launches. These worlds on the edge of reality, offering enormous freedom of space, are especially popular with brands. Defined, they say, as Web 3.0, This new market offers visibility to Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2010), who can live this immersive, interactive experience to the full. 

A new collection of 8 fragrances inspired by the Metaverse universe

Inspired by the computer world represented by the metaverse and the galaxy symbolizing space, 8 perfumers from the TechnicoFlor group have created Eau de Toilette fragrances that illustrate their own perception of this universe. The result: a collection of 8 fragrances with woody, fruity and spicy notes that invite you to travel into the infinity of space to discover scents outside the real world. 

  • A.I. World (Romain Keller) A fragrance of character, with animalic woody notes, faceted with notes of red fruits. An illustration of a world ruled by the laws of digital technology, where nature takes its revenge.
  • Parallel Universe (Bérengère Bourgarel) : A woody oriental note, where the imaginary of a parallel world is infinitely gourmand.
  • Call Of Beauty (Marika Symard) : A new interpretation of Beauty in a New World, characterized by a woody oriental DNA built around an Iris embellished with sacred spices.
  • Cyberhigh (Irène Farmachidi) :A wake anchored in the Matrix by its codes of wood, cinnamon and cardamom on a flight of smoky notes.
  • Utopia Overdose (Bertrand Duchaufour) :A plunge into a colorful fantasy world, where gourmet fruit reigns alongside precious flowers.
  • Neo Avatar (Félix Deschamps) :The imagination of an avatar in a virtual jungle, where neo citrus and sacred woods mingle on an amber base.
  • Robot Kiss (Christine Lucas): A metallic pink kiss that provokes a floral explosion of love, combined with notes of red berries.
  • NFT (Jérémy Sabater): An accord of precious notes creates a unique fragrance. A game of seduction in which woods confront sweet and spicy facets.

"Today, brands increasingly need to think outside the box - seduction, Proust's madeleine, travel, escape - to tell the story of their new fragrance. The immersive aspect is a real demand. And at the same time, there's a real need for consumers to immerse themselves in a world that's not their own. The metaverse represents a new playground for the beauty industry. For the moment, sight and hearing are the only senses used in this universe. Multi-sensoriality will be tomorrow's new way of approaching the world of perfume: leaving the consumer alone to discover his or her fragrance within a multi-sensorial universe in which he or she will be immersed. It could be a new way of presenting tomorrow's fragrances. That's why we've imagined this collection, with its different facets". explains Christopher Sabater, General Manager of TechnicoFlor's Dubai subsidiary.

If he's particularly moved by homes with a strong heritage, he enjoys being their protector.

Quadpack's refillable product evolution for solid formulas

The new Infinite PP Panstick from international beauty packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack represents an evolution of the original plastic panstick. Made entirely from PP, a recyclable material, it is now available in a refillable format. Versatile, the product is part of the new generation of Quadpack brand packaging and meets the ecological needs of brands to use sustainable materials for make-up, fragrances and skincare. 

Thanks to its eco-design, Infinite PP Panstick has reduced its carbon emissions by 43 % compared with the original version, and its circularity index has tripled*, indicating an improvement in sustainability and a reduction in environmental impact, according to a Product Life Cycle Assessment. The move to refillable single-material packaging has taken the product from a minimum to an advanced level of sustainability in Quadpack's PIP assessment. 

Packaging is adapting to trends towards product solidification, driven by environmental concerns, which are prompting brands to reduce or eliminate the water present in formulas by adopting sticks as alternative formats and encouraging the adoption of different gestures and applications. 

As well as being long-lasting, the product is versatile: it's suitable for a variety of solid-form formulas such as foundations, complexion perfectors, sun products, serums and solid perfumes. Thanks to the practical snap-on system, Infinite PP Panstick can be easily refilled, and offers top- and bottom-filling options.

The product is available in cup diameters of 18.2 mm (10 g and 4.5 g) and 21.3 mm (15 g) and offers a range of internal decoration options.

Texen Mayet celebrates its 50th anniversary

Texen Mayet, one of the 5 French sites of the Texen group, spearheading the manufacture of mascaras, celebrated its 50th anniversary a few days ago. It was an opportunity to talk about history and to share the energy and pride of the employees for their company.

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the Texen Mayet site welcomed employees, their families and neighboring residents for a festive and commemorative day.
Initially based in Saint Lupicin (39), the "Établissements Mayet" were founded in 1910 by André Mayet, a farmer from the Jura. Between 1950 and 1970, the factory took advantage of the boom in injected thermoplastics for the automotive and industrial sectors.

From automotive to cosmetics
On April 1, 1970, a secondary establishment founded by Edouard Grandmottet was set up in Pierre de Bresse and the activity started with about ten employees.
In the 1980s, the manufacture of automobile parts gave way to "Made in France" cosmetics. The Pierre-de-Bresse site benefited from this. Later, as the economic situation deteriorated, of the 4 Mayet factories (St Lupicin, Dole, Pierre-de-Bresse, Meyzieu), only the one in Pierre-de-Bresse retained any potential. Edouard Grandmottet and his wife Jeanne Mayet bought it and founded a new company "Mayet Pierre-de-Bresse" in 1988. In 1996, the production of mascara starts with the arrival of the first injection-blowing machine. In 2001, the PSB Industries group bought the company, restructured it and made the necessary investments to keep the site competitive. In 2004, a new logistic and mechanical building completes the redevelopment of the main building.

In 2018, the "mascara 4.0" line was born. This integrated line, 100 % automated, mascaras to the company to take a new step towards industrial excellence.

Adapted to multi-format mascaras and different types of decorations, this line saves time thanks to its high output, secures varnished parts processed in a closed environment, reduces handling and transport and has a made in France footprint.
The Smart concept, developed by Texen, is the optimal solution to the CSR challenges of an agile industry. The modularity of the latest generation of Smart lines offers partner customers a responsible compromise between competitiveness, optimization of industrial surfaces, limitation of intermediate stocks and induced waste, and the use of high-solids varnishes.

Thinking about tomorrow together
Today, Texen Mayet is a major component of the group's innovation.
"For 50 years, Texen Mayet has been working for major cosmetics groups and has never stopped developing its processes to remain a key player in the profession. Thanks to its history and location, Texen Mayet is a driving force in the local economic fabric. We are committed to preserving this footprint, and strive daily to defend "made in France" by developing new markets and new expertise.
Industrial excellence and a strong commitment to the environment are among our main assets"says Franck Perot, director of the Texen Mayet site.

A Bormioli Luigi bottle for the first Mimitika skincare line

Buoyed by its success with suncare products, the young Mimitika brand is now tackling the skincare market with Skin Juice Collection and its 4 serums. For this development, Mimitika has chosen a Bormioli model with beautifully rounded shapes and a PCR component..

A strong signal for a committed 100 % brand

With its suncare formulas, the brand combines the safety of protection with the pleasure of exposure. Its new Skin by Mimitika range follows the same reasoning. Skin needs to be pampered all year round: nourished with effective, lightweight formulas, protected from UV rays. Women need natural, affordable, locally-made beauty products.

First launch for the brand: a line called Skin Juice Collection. Based on targeted natural active ingredients, the four serums moisturize, soothe, purify, illuminate and smooth all skin types, whatever the circumstances.

Packaging between seduction and reason

Mimitika chose to collaborate with Bormioli Luigi for this development. It focused on the ready-to-go collection: turnkey bottles for agile, more virtuous developments. In the catalog, the Thalassa was chosen for its rounded shoulders, balanced by the choice of a 15 ml format for a particularly feminine look. Practical to hold, it adapts perfectly to the dropper gesture. What's more, the bottle is made with a proportion of PCR (15 %), a further argument for the brand's commitment to the environment. The Thalassa model is available as a range, in 3 bottle formats (15, 30 and 150 ml, and in 50 and 200 ml jars).

- Working together with public and private research centers worldwide.

"Intellectual property has always been at the heart of our concerns, which began over a century ago when my great-grandfather filed his first patents in the 1920s. We have put in place an organization and a development process that enables us to protect our innovations while sharing our know-how, a notion dear to the company.

To be awarded an INPI Trophy today is an honor and recognition of the efforts made by our research teams over the years. We are happy and proud to reap the rewards of this collective effort. explains Ségolène Moyrand-Gros, President of the Gattefossé Group.

Our innovation strategy and the patents we file therefore encompass all these areas of expertise. Having a solid industrial property strategy is essential if you want to be well protected. We therefore systematically file patents for all our new ingredients and technologies in all the countries that are key to our business, following a freedom-to-operate study. This is a guarantee of product quality and durability for our customers". says Jean-David Rodier, Oleochemistry R&D Manager.

The product received industry recognition at in-cosmetics global, winning the Bronze Innovation Award in the Best Cosmetic Active Ingredient category.

Gattefossé was also one of the first suppliers of cosmetic ingredients to patent a technology based on hydrophilized plant waxes. enabling us to offer our cosmetics customers uniquely sensorial textures. This innovation has also been recognized by the industry with a number of innovation awards.

In pharmaceuticals, Gattefossé last year developed a new oil phase stabilizer for bi-gels, which was shortlisted in the "Finished Formulation" category at the CPHI Worldwide trade show earlier this month.
