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.

PhycoSi, to prevent skin aging

Microphyt has designed a long-lasting solution to prevent the first signs of aging: PhycoSi, an innovative bioactive ingredient that recharges the dermis deep down and restores the skin's surface.

Microphyt is proud to present its new bioactive ingredient, PhycoSi, the first upcycled and bioavailable source of marine silicon designed to restructure skin from depth to surface. Simplicity and effectiveness are the watchwords of recent years. By reducing the number of products, the time spent on beauty care, etc., consumers are getting back to basics.

With this in mind, Microphyt decided to explore a fundamental element of the skin: silicon, and thus gave birth to PhycoSi. Its two-step action first stimulates deep exchanges to recharge and strengthen the dermis, then protects and restores the skin's surface by exfoliating and smoothing. The result is suppler, firmer skin and smoother micro-relief.
Always on the lookout for more sustainable solutions, Microphyt's R&D team succeeded in developing a process to extract the silicon contained in a manufacturing by-product, thus recycling a diatom extract destined for disposal. The result is PhycoSi, a recycled bioactive ingredient containing bioavailable marine silicon, which has established itself as a fundamental skin revitalizer.


Advantages of PhycoSi :
o PhycoSi works in two stages: it deeply recharges the dermis for visibly suppler, firmer skin and restores and smoothes the skin's surface.
o PhycoSi is the first sustainable source of marine silicon upcycled and bioavailable produced in France.
o PhycoSi is a water-soluble ingredient which can easily be incorporated into cosmetics to prevent the first signs of aging.

Gattefossé unveils its new collection of suncare formulas

By
The editorial staff

The launch of this new sun kit is the culmination of several months' work by the Gattefossé teams, who put their expertise in formulation and sensorial analysis to work on this sun care product.

This kit, made up of 8 formulas and created from 4 flagship ingredients in its portfolio (emulsifiers or texturizing agents), meets both the challenges faced by formulators and the needs and demands of consumers.

The sensoriality of suncare products is a major concern and a challenge for formulators. The addition of UV filters to cosmetics creates a greasy, sticky sensation that is difficult to conceal and unpleasant for the consumer.

The sensorial evaluation of its products and formulas is a core concern for Gattefossé, which has drawn on its expertise in textures developed over 25 years ago. Gattefossé thus reaffirms its expertise in suncare, offering a collection of formulas combining effective UV protection and application comfort to meet consumer needs:

- Innovative textures and unexpected filter combinations

- Optimizing sensoriality

- Understanding of global specificities (regulations, needs, climate, etc.)

- Testing suncare products in real-life conditions

- Use of a UV camera to visualize sunscreen products once applied to the skin and their behavior over time

Ingredients for sensorial suncare products

Gattefossé has developed ingredients that respond to the major issues encountered when formulating suncare products: performance, stability and sensoriality.

Emulium lllustro, a W/O emulsifier with proven compatibility with organic and inorganic UV filters, creating stable, comfortable formulas.

Emulium Dolcea MB, an O/W emulsifier, creates stable textures with an ultra-soft, non-sticky finish.

Emulium Mellifera MB is another O/W emulsifier that helps formulate suncare products with a light, non-greasy finish.

Acticire MB is an active texturizing agent that improves the sensoriality of suncare products by reducing the greasy, sticky finish. It also improves the durability of the protective film, such as
observed with the UV camera.

"We've been working in suncare for 8 years now. Our ingredients enable us to create innovative textures with all kinds of UV filters. Our sensory panel helps us optimize the sensory profiles of our suncare formulations. As performance is our top priority, we test our formulas to guarantee their protective efficacy (in vitro and in vivo SPF, UVA), water resistance and the photostability of UV filters.

We can help customers with any solar-related questions, or provide expertise and support for their formulation projects. "explains Malorie Duvent, Gattefossé's cosmetics evaluation manager and sun expert.

8 suncare formulas for every situation

Gattefossé's cosmetics applications laboratory has worked on 8 new formulations, with very different sensory profiles and containing organic, inorganic or combined UV filters, to meet all photo-protection requirements.
