1st industrial production site of natural ingredients for Dry4Good

Dry4Good, an industrial FoodTech specialized in the production of high value-added ingredients, inaugurates this Thursday 1er December, its first plant specialized in the production of innovative ingredients for the food, cosmetics and nutraceutical industries. With a production capacity of 50 tons of ingredients per year, this new site of 1000m2 The new building, built by Vectura, a real estate company specialized in commercial real estate, will allow the start-up to demonstrate the technological and industrial production of ingredients for a more sustainable and healthier diet.

From laboratory to first production unit in 24 months

Founded in 2019, Dry4Good is a start-up from Ile-de-France specialized in the manufacture of healthy and natural products, obtained from specific innovative technologies. These allow to keep the taste, color and texture of the raw materials, as well as all the nutritional values, without any substantial addition or modification.

This eco-efficient precision drying process was initially developed in the laboratory of La Turbine, the Cergy-Pontoise incubator and business center (IPHE). After a year of R&D, a pilot plant was put into service in 2021, thus meeting the first demands of a particularly attentive market. Thanks to this pre-industrial equipment, Dry4Good was able to develop a range of industrial ingredients and to seduce its first customers, players in the food and cosmetics industries.

A move to an industrial scale with its 1000m pilot production site2

Today, the start-up is moving to the next level in order to increase the capacity of its activity and to meet the high demand of its customers, by inaugurating its first industrial site of 1000m2. With three production lines and a processing capacity of 2 tons of fresh produce per day, the new plant has validated the industrial scale-up of its breakthrough technology. It will enable the production of the equivalent of 50 tons of ingredients per year to meet the growing demand, as early as 2023.

"We are pleased to inaugurate our first pilot production site in the Val d'Oise. This site, designed in record time and tailor-made by VECTURA, allows us to move to an industrial scale and marks a major step in our development. The market is there and its potential is immense due to the strong growth of the sector and the growing needs of industrialists for healthier, more efficient and environmentally friendly formulations. "says Romaric Janssen, co-founder of Dry4Good.

A start-up leader in reindustrialization and territorial development

In line with BPI France's ambitions, this first pilot site located in Cergy (95) is actively participating in the development of the agribusiness sector in France. The public organization aims to create 100 new industrial sites per year, in the territories, by 2025, to reindustrialize France and meet its challenges of sovereignty and employment.

The Dry4Good production line is also located as close as possible to the sourcing. Most of the raw materials used are sourced through a large network of farmers (producers and cooperatives) in the Paris region. By favoring products grown near its site, Dry4Good participates in its own way in the economic development of a French agricultural sector. The company is also one of the startups labeled French Tech Agri20, and also holds the "Produit en Ile-de-France" label.

An investment of more than 4 million euros

This first industrial site was created thanks to the financial support of regional and national public partners strongly committed to the economic development of the territories, namely: France Relance, France 2030, the Ile de France Region and BPI France. The startup has also relied on the support of private investors, and has benefited from public aid as a winner of the I-NOV competition, but also from the Programme d'Investissement d'Avenir (PIA 4). In total, the startup will have deployed more than 4M€, allowing the continuation of investments as well as the creation of 30 direct jobs on the territory.

Lalique and James Turrell: Two Limited Edition Crystal Bottles

Purple Sage & Range Rider, two limited edition perfume bottles.
This collaboration gives birth to the first perfume created by an artist for Lalique.

Lalique unveiled its new collaboration with American artist James Turrell, known for creating works that challenge the public to confront the limits and magic of human perception by playing with light and space.

This is the first time the famous light artist has worked on small pieces. This unique encounter between two "light artists" is the result of more than four years of close collaboration and comes as Lalique celebrates the lOOth anniversary of its Alsace-based manufacture. The collection, which was presented at the 2022 edition of Paris+ by Art Basel, consists of 42 luminous crystal panels and two perfume bottles in limited editions of 100 pieces each. This was the first time that Lalique Art was an official partner of the famous modern and contemporary art fair.


James Turrell first imagined two perfume bottles. Fascinated by Egypt and the forms of stupas found in Asia, he was inspired by their architectural structure which make them monuments of high spiritual value where light plays an essential role.

Combining both artistic and olfactory sensibilities, the two bottles Range Rider and Purple Sage are inspired by Zane Grey's book, Riders of the Purple Sage and the artist's desire to recreate the beauty of the American West. The result is dazzling: the bottles are veritable prisms that diffuse and diffract light. Entirely handcrafted, these pieces presented a major challenge for Lalique artisans: obtaining a uniform thickness of crystal, which allows for homogeneity and the right density of color.

Working with Lalique's perfumers, Turrell has also brought to life the first perfumes created by an artist for Lalique. The first of these, Range Rider, encapsulates the natural scents of Arizona, the artist's homeland: purple sage and rubbed leather, pepper, amber and citrus. Its olfactory architecture evokes the sun-drenched ranches of the American West.

Oscillating between strength and delicacy, the second fragrance, Purple Sage, named after the delicate variety of sage that rules Arizona, offers another interpretation of Turrell's relationship with his region. With its subtle curves, the bottle pays homage to the eternal female form. The fragrance itself features a delicately fruity and musky scent that reveals notes of purple sage, mandarin orange, grapefruit and rhubarb.
The collaboration was born out of a meeting between the artist and Silvio Denz, president and CEO of Lalique, " I immediately thought that Lalique should host works by James Turrell: the place of the artist-light made sense if we think of the founder René Lalique, nicknamed "the sculptor of light". It is a profound artistic adventure that has led to a result of rare elegance and modernity. A true feat. I am both proud and very happy that this great name joins the prestigious circle of artists who have collaborated with Lalique. "
James Turrell added, " The nature of my work is the shaping of light. The Light is the material and perception is the medium. I had already heard of René Lalique but I did not know the extent of his creativity. At the Lalique factory, I was fascinated by the master glassmakers and their technical virtuosity. They are true artists. This was my first time designing perfumes and crystal pieces. The sense of smell evokes memory more than any other sense, and it is thanks to Lalique and the perfumers that I was able to create this. To create a perfume is to create the world that we have known. Like René Lalique, I seek the light and I will continue to seek it. "

Anaē presents its new line of solid cosmetics

Specialized since 2000 in ecological accessories for toiletry and care, anaē launches a range of solid cosmetic products, accessible to all, zero waste to meet consumers looking for sobriety and back to the essentials.

Its balms, deodorants and toothpastes, made of natural and organic materials, are manufactured in a small cosmetic workshop in Brittany.

Thanks to their reusable glasses and containers signed Duralex, they sign the end of overpackaging, thus joining a zero waste lifestyle.

With its new line of solid cosmetics, anaē wanted to eliminate the superfluous. The brand chose simple, waterless manufacturing processes inspired by DIY: their concentrated and minimalist formulas highlight organic and/or naturally sourced raw materials from Brittany.


The anaē products are Cosmos certified, a demanding international standard that promotes the use of organic ingredients, processes that respect the environment and health, and the integration of the concept of "green chemistry."
This range has a clean, modern and uncluttered look and is also characterized by its transparency.
The new anaē range thus aims to democratize solid cosmetics and affirm the brand's ecological and social commitment. It makes zero waste cosmetics more accessible and saves time and money for consumers.

The anaē solid cosmetics line consists of eight products: two toothpastes, two deodorants and four body balms. In early 2023, it will welcome four new products.

Toothpastes in paste

Anaē offers a fresh toothpaste, with organic mint and eucalyptus flavors, and a bright toothpaste, with organic lemon flavors and bicarbonate. These toothpastes are formulated cold from calcium carbonate, a soft abrasive. They clean teeth thoroughly, and offer a pleasant sensation of freshness or tone. They both contain a natural foaming agent that provides a soft sensation when brushing.
These two toothpastes are packaged in Duralex table glasses well known in canteens. The cork lid can also be reused to close the glass and package spices, dried fruits...

Deodorant balms

Thanks to their melting texture, anaē deodorant balms are easy to apply and protect the armpits against the inconvenience of perspiration. Subtly scented, they have minimalist and organic formulas, enriched with soothing Breton camelina oil, shea butter and coconut oil.
They are available in two versions: the fresh version contains sodium bicarbonate, which neutralizes the development of bad odors and absorbs humidity, and the gentle version, formulated without bicarbonate, with a complex of effective deodorant ingredients that respect the most delicate skin.
Both deodorants are packaged in Duralex coffee cups. The cork lid can also be reused to close the jar and pack spices, dried fruits...

Body balms

A true invitation to well-being and relaxation, anaē balms melt on contact with the skin and nourish it deeply thanks to their lipid-rich ingredients. They are economical, as a very small amount can moisturize a large area of skin.
They are made of organic Breton oils, from a first cold pressing.
The relaxing balm contains hemp oil rich in omega 3 and 6 and essential fatty acids, which gives it calming and antioxidant properties and a dry non-greasy feel.
The nourishing and sporty balms are made with camelina oil: rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 and in vitamin E, it has soothing and regenerating properties.
The three body balms are packaged in Duralex cups. The cork lid can also be reused to close the cup or as a coaster.

Eco-responsible, reusable and French containers

To push its eco-design approach to the limit, anaē has chosen eco-responsible and reusable containers for its cosmetics: Duralex glasses and cups, renowned for their sturdiness and quality.
Anaē worked in partnership with the French group to come up with three useful containers that can be used as table glasses or cups. The cork lids were custom designed in Portugal to match the Duralex design.
In addition to being eco-responsible, this packaging has a sweet nostalgic aspect: it takes adults back to childhood, and allows them to discover their age, once the balm or toothpaste is finished, thanks to the number engraved on the bottom of the container.
From solid cosmetics to drinking glass, there is only one pot

Anaē is a brand of Ecodis. The company is committed to a process of relocalization of manufacturing processes: it is building a network of Breton and local partner companies.
The products in the anaē range are thus formulated with oils from organic Breton seeds, and are manufactured in a Breton cosmetics workshop.
Anaē also encourages organic farming by promoting, whenever possible, the use of plant ingredients from organic crops. All ingredients and raw materials have been chosen with respect for the planet and the people who make the products.

Anaē is a brand of Ecodis, 100% owned by the Ecodyssée Endowment Fund, and specialized since 2000, in the design and distribution of ecoproducts to specialized stores, merchant sites and craftsmen.
It offers a range of products and accessories dedicated to hygiene and natural well-being, all designed with respect for the environment and the human being: solid cosmetics, menstrual panties, menstrual cups, washable sanitary napkins, bandages, brushes, massage gloves or cosmetic sponges...

L'Oréal accelerates its transformation in the field of Green Sciences

L'Oréal and French biotech Microphyt announce a strategic partnership under which L'Oréal's private equity fund BOLD (Business Opportunities for L'Oréal Development) will acquire a minority stake in Microphyt.

This operation is fully in line with L'Oréal's Research & Innovation strategy in the field of Green Sciences, through numerous strategic partnerships with innovative start-ups in the biotechnology sector, in France and internationally. This proactive policy is at the heart of the objectives that L'Oréal has set for 2030 as part of its sustainable development program, including the goal that 95% of its ingredients will be bio-sourced, derived from abundant minerals or from circular processes.

Microphyt, created in 2007 and located in Baillargues (Hérault), has developed a revolutionary low carbon impact process for the production of microalgae - microscopic plant organisms used in cosmetics for their active properties and functional qualities.    

Thanks to its patented process and its mastery of natural stimuli (light, salt, nutrients, temperature variation, etc.), this French biotech is among the companies producing the largest varieties of microalgae in the world on a large scale and in a controlled manner. Microphyt has an integrated platform for the transformation of these microalgae and thus develops natural and renewable ingredients perfectly adapted to the sustainable ambitions of L'Oréal.

L'Oréal and Microphyt will build a technological platform and will pool material and human resources to design raw materials from microalgae biomass. The two companies aim to establish a long-term partnership for the development of new cosmetic solutions.

This merger follows a number of strategic scientific partnerships that the Group has forged in recent months to strengthen its pioneering Green Beauty Sciences ecosystem: the life sciences research specialist VERILY, the National Institute for Materials Sciences (NIMS) in Japan, the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE), and the Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques de Bordeaux (LCPO).

Our ambition is to collaborate worldwide with the most disruptive scientific entities in the field of Green Sciences, in order to develop together responsible innovations on a large scale and make them accessible to the greatest number of peopleexplains Barbara Lavernos, Executive Vice President, Research, Innovation and Technology, L'Oréal Groupe. We are very pleased with this new partnership with Microphyt, which will allow us, thanks to its unique natural solutions derived from microalgae, to further accelerate our transformation towards a more sustainable beauty".

For Microphyt, the partnership with L'Oréal reinforces its strategic roadmap. Since the realization in 2019 of one of the most important fundraising of its sector with notably the SPI funds of Bpifrance and Sofinnova Partners, Microphyt has strongly accelerated the development and the marketing of natural ingredients from microalgae for nutrition and cosmetics. In the last 18 months, Microphyt has launched 3 innovative active ingredients in cosmetics and has started the commercialization of its first two proprietary ingredients in nutrition on the American market of food supplements.

 "We are delighted with the partnership with L'Oréal which is fully in line with Microphyt's ambition to give access to the greatest number of people to natural solutions derived from microalgae, explains Vincent Usache, General Manager of Microphyt. The "extended lab" technology platform is perfectly complementary to our own activities. It will enable us to accelerate the development of eco-designed ingredients in common with L'Oréal and to use our production capacities to facilitate their scaling up within our industrial platform.

Annick Menardo signs Yves Saint Laurent Beauté's new Lavallière fragrance

A new addition to Yves Saint Laurent Beauté's exclusive Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection, Lavallière is a remarkably sophisticated creation inspired by the famous floating, supple bow of the same name. A signature accessory of Yves Saint Laurent's wardrobe, borrowed from the bohemian wardrobe, the designer plays with the fluidity of gender. Blurring the boundaries between masculinity and femininity, this fragrance by Annick Menardo is a tribute that inspires a most androgynous look.

Lavallière's fruity, floral, green and woody facets are woven together like multicolored disks in a joyful ribbon, harmoniously blending masculinity and femininity. Sparkling, green, biting blackcurrant buds mingle with a luscious fig accord at the top. Rich and creamy like the juicy, purple flesh of the fruit, it is accentuated by the sweetness of Indian sambac jasmine. Its floral heart reveals its mixed nature. The rose brings to life a blend of rose essence and rose water, giving it a fresh, natural, vegetal note.

In order for this floral symbol of femininity to convey the androgynous panache of Yves Saint Laurent's iconic piece, Annick Menardo combined two typically masculine ingredients: Madagascar geranium, a green aromatic with notes of rose, mint and lychee, and Haitian vetiver with accents of grapefruit, smoked wood and flint.

Olfactory family : green fruity floral

Olfactory pyramid

Head Blackcurrant bud, fig accord, Madagascar mandarin,

Heart : geranium of Madagascar, rose, jasmine sambac,

Background : Haitian vetiver, cashmeran, musks.

As Yves Saint Laurent did with fashion, I wanted to revisit an iconic signature of haute parfumerie through the creation of Lavallière: the rose-cassis accord. I imagined a precious rose supported by a smooth, comfortable woody note. I paired it with juicy blackcurrant, which I modernized with crunchy green fig. "

Annick Menardo, Master Perfumer

Lumson: new website

The new Lumson website is now online. It is not a simple "restyling" but a completely new portal with an underlying theme of user-friendliness. With intuitive graphics, innovative content organization and a series of new sections, the site combines functionality and comprehensiveness, so that it is rich in information and at the same time extremely easy to navigate. The new site reflects the group's brand identity and marks an important step in the company's digital transformation journey. Among the new features of the new portal that stand out are the configurator, an application that allows customers to simulate their product, the area dedicated to sustainability with the objectives achieved and those to come, and the section dedicated to brands, with some examples of customers, both Italian and international, who have chosen Lumson as a partner thanks to its immense expertise and know-how.

Key words: user-friendliness and completeness

Our goal is to provide an innovative customer experience for users accessing lumson.com.- explains Fabio Manzoni, Group Marketing Manager Lumson. As the evolution of the market has now made clear, the B2B world is becoming more and more like the communication methods of the B2C world. Every day, business users increasingly appreciate the same communication experience in the B2B world as they have as consumers. We have achieved this by combining user-friendliness and comprehensiveness and by giving current and future customers a taste of our technical, technological and manufacturing know-how. Thus, the new site is configured as an easy-to-navigate portal, where customers can find the information they are looking for and "test drive" the Lumson Group's know-how in developing packaging solutions and dispensing systems for cosmetics and make-up.

The configurator, to "create" your product online

For this purpose - explains the manager - In the Product Area, an interactive configurator has been implemented that allows the user to create an exact replica of their item by selecting the bottle and combining it with different pumps and accessories available. Once the product is determined, the user can print all the information and send it directly to the sales department to finalize the project. Two other important new features are the "Sustainability" section, which demonstrates the importance and commitment with which Lumson approaches the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and the "Human Resources" section, where the details of each position are described and job candidates are presented with the professional growth opportunities offered by the Group" .

Designed and built with responsive technology that allows the site to automatically adapt its layout and provide an optimal viewing experience from any device, without the need to continually scroll or resize content, the new site is intended to be an information tool for all stakeholders. In the "News & Events" section, users can find an updated list of trade shows and events, awards and recognitions, and upcoming innovations, while clicking on "Who We Are" will tell them about the company's history, values and mission.

L'Oréal pop-up store: more efficient self-cashout checkouts thanks to payfree and Avery Dennison

L'Oréal opts for payfree's grab-and-go technology as a complete self-checkout solution in its pop-up store in Düsseldorf, Germany.

  • Avery Dennison's single-use RFID tags meet the specific requirements of the beauty industry and its products.
  • Customers are excited about this innovative shopping experience.

payfree is providing its self-checkout solution to global cosmetics leader L'Oréal in its pop-up store on Königsallee in Düsseldorf. The company invites customers to test and buy a variety of perfumes and make-up products. Instead of waiting in line at the cash register, customers purchase selected products by passing them through a scanning unit, which automatically registers the products with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. payfree is introducing the first grab-and-go checkout in the beauty industry in collaboration with Avery Dennison, a global leader in material science and digital identification solutions. To meet the demanding standards of the beauty industry, Avery Dennison has developed single-use RFID tags designed to meet specific product characteristics. Located in one of Germany's most popular shopping areas, the L'Oréal pop-up is open until November 27.

payfree has already successfully implemented its grab-and-go checkout in other sectors, such as apparel and merchandise for the German soccer club Eintracht Frankfurt. Beauty products, however, are more difficult to tag than apparel: liquids and metal surfaces such as foil packaging usually inhibit signal transfer during RFID communication. Specializing in the development and manufacture of smart labels, Avery Dennison has met these challenges with beauty-specific RFID labels. They offer a metal tag at a price point that makes high volume labeling possible. The technology used in L'Oréal's ephemeral boutique could pave the way for self-checkout, not only in the beauty sector, but also for food and consumer products.

The beauty industry is undergoing radical changes. An increasing number of consumers are finding and purchasing products online or on social media and easily switching between brands. By combining our advances in RFID technology with payfree's expertise in RFID-based self-service checkouts, we can offer brands a unique solution to satisfy their customers and build loyalty ", says Uwe Hennig, market development manager for Apparel, Beauty & Food, Intelligent Labels EMEA, Australia and India at Avery Dennison.

This pop-up store is all about the immersive brand experience. Our goal is to excite our customers while offering them a number of beauty and shopping services. We want to provide our customers with a rich and memorable shopping experience. payfree is the perfect partner to achieve this. Their checkout solution requires little space and fits perfectly into our store concept ", says Jonas Lischewski, brand manager of L'Oréal Luxe.

The self-service checkout is designed to create a seamless shopping experience that meets the demands of high-end retail. To live up to the high customer experience and service levels in-store, the shopping experience is enhanced by a new and innovative approach to checkout, including automatic item scanning and contactless payment. By reducing manual interactions during the checkout process, payfree has designed a fast and convenient shopping experience. Customers simply wave their bag of beauty products in front of a U-shaped scanning unit at the checkout. The payfree Bag Fast Track system automatically identifies the items in the bag as an RFID tag is attached to each item. Customers can then pay contactlessly by card or e-wallet.
