Nuwen launches a range of hygiene products in dissolvable tablets

At the Cosmetic 360 trade show in Paris, Nuwen presented its latest innovation: a shower gel in tablet form. Developed using Tab&Care technology, the Cosmos Natural-certified shower gel dissolves in water and transforms into a classic shower gel.

As a manufacturer of finished cosmetic products, Nuwen has been the specialist in powder cosmetics in France for 35 years. After launching a range of powder hygiene products in 2021, Nuwen is now offering a shower gel tablet to be dissolved in water.

Tab&Care technology

Tab&Care is a global technology that combines industrial compression know-how unique in France with formulation specifications that take into account environmental responsibility, quintessence and sensoriality. "Our R&D team carried out extensive formulation work. The challenge was to successfully combine effective natural ingredients compatible with the compression action to obtain a smooth, solid tablet perfectly suited to the neck of the packaging", explains Sandrine Le Guichard, Head of the R&D Department.

Shower gel dissolving tablets

The shower gel tablet is a real feat of innovation and practicality. The lozenge is the result of compressing a powder made from natural ingredients to deliver just the right amount of product. This new, easily refillable product promises a unique sensory experience thanks to its generous, creamy foam. Tests reveal that the sensorial quality of the foam is far superior to other products on the market.

Reducing water footprint

By choosing to formulate water-free cosmetics, Nuwen offers cosmetics brands a real solution for reducing their water footprint. The company has chosen to promote responsible consumption of cosmetics by formulating waterless cosmetics to offer a real solution for reducing the water footprint. Waterless products are more compact, leave less waste behind and are lighter to transport.

The Upcycling Summit in Lyon

Upcycling or overcycling means making something new out of something old, with a gain in quality and added value for the end product. Used materials are given a new life, a new destiny.
On Thursday, October 27, 2022, the Upcycling Festival Association is organizing a professional event in Lyon dedicated to this topic, with the main theme of upcycling and the energy & ecological transition. It's the meeting place for national and European upcycling players from all sectors.

The Upcycling Festival brings together a community of nearly five thousand managers, executives and specialists on the Linkedin social network. Through their exchanges on this channel, it became clear that supply and demand didn't know each other. While everyone has their own expertise and projects, there's a lack of a physical place for dialogue and meetings, where people can exchange ideas, forge partnerships and forge fruitful collaborations. Hence the strong demand from the community to organize a meeting.
The aim of our association is to reference all the players in the sector and create links between them to contribute to the development of this new circular economy industry." explains Jacques Chalvin, President and Founder of the Upcycling Festival.

From 11.30am to 12pm, Hervé Zeller, CEO & Founder at Propice, Pauline Grumel, Director at Unisoap, and Laurent Schubnel, CSR Group SRR Leader at Gattefossé, will lead a roundtable discussion on the world of cosmetics.

Dries Van Noten's bottle awarded at the Formes de luxe 2022 Awards

The recently launched refillable bottle of Dries Van Noten Eau de Parfum is awarded in the category of best perfume bottle at the prestigious Formes De Luxe awards in October 2022. This attractive glass bottle is manufactured at Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie and consists of ten shells on the bottom of the bottle, four different materials (porcelain, plastic, wood, metal) and two types of lacquering (eight classic and two Quali Glass Coat 2.0, an exclusive STO ecological powder coating).
A first of its kind for Stoelzle, the innovative features involve the development of ten products at once; a complete, multi-material product line with the need to adapt the gluing process to account for dimensional differences, between shell and bottle, depending on the material. Each of the ten bottles requires a different bonding system, which is a first for Stoelzle in combining so many materials at once.
Dries Van Noten's collectible bottle also offers a unique unscrewing system, with a mesh inside so that the closing mechanism is invisible. A special key is included with the refill bottle to unlock the pump, as well as a funnel for easy filling.

The innovative bottles are refillable and reusable, which allows them to be transformed into soliflore and to become real objects of art. The bottles can also be used as perfume diffusers.
The creative director of the brand that bears his name, Dries Van Noten, was inspired by his passion for flowers and gardening to come up with a concept for the bottles. This inspiration led him to team up with leading international perfumers who interpreted different aspects of the brand's unique character.
The brand has entrusted Stoelzle Masnières with the exclusive production of the glass and decoration of these refillable bottles, which, like the world of Dries Van Noten, have a striking visual appeal.
For Dries Van Noten Beauty, integrity and sustainability are the basis of everything that is developed.

All their products are designed to be refillable and have a lower impact on the environment. As for the production of the bottles, they contain 11.6 % of recycled industrial glass (PCR glass). In addition, two of the bottles in the line are powdered with Stoelzle's exclusive Quali Glass Coat 2.0 decoration technique, following an eco-friendly approach.
Dries Van Noten's beautiful bottles can be seen in ten variations of designs, eight of which are lacquered: Jardin de l'Orangerie, Neon Garden, Rosa Carnivora, Cannabis Patchouli, Voodoo Chile, Rock the Myrrh, Fleur du Mal, Silk Malaquais; and two are powdered (STO's exclusive Quali Glass Coat 2.0 process): Raving Rose and Santal Greenery.
The Stoelzle team is proud to have been recognized as best in class at the Formes De Luxe luxury packaging innovation awards.

La Roche-Posay at the Word Cancer Congress

On October 19, La Roche-Posay will be in Geneva for the first time, to take part in the world's biggest cancer event: the Word Cancer Congress. As the only dermo-cosmetics brand to be invited to this event, this testifies to La Roche-Posay's legitimacy in supporting and improving the quality of life of cancer patients. The Congress is organized by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).La Roche-Posay has just signed an exclusive partnership with the leading cancer association, to raise public awareness of the full range of supportive care services available to patients suffering from treatment-related skin side-effects.

During the Congress, Dr. Delphine Kerob, dermatologist and Scientific Director of La Roche-Posay, will be speaking on the subject of skin toxicities caused by treatment, alongside journalist and columnist Agathe Auproux, who has herself been through the ordeal of cancer and its treatment. 

La Roche-Posay launches a vast campaign aimed at patients and their caregivers, focusing on the "restorative power of touch".

La Roche-Posay, in collaboration with BETC, Annex88 and Canadian director Samir Mallal, has chosen to highlight the power of touch for cancer patients in its awareness-raising film. Touch soothes, comforts and reduces anxiety and pain ****, but many patients are deprived of it when undergoing treatment, because their skin is irritated, damaged and painful. Yet these simple gestures, performed by a partner, caregiver or doctor, can be a lifeline for patients, when combined with appropriate skin care.

The campaign was born out of the fact that, for 80 % of patients***, supportive care is just as important as cancer treatment itself.

Another key aspect of the campaign was the use of real cancer patients and their families, rather than actors. In addition to the film, La Roche-Posay has prepared a 360° communication plan for October Rose, including a home page where patients and their families can find the La Roche-Posay patient guide, expert advice and testimonials.

One year after the launch of the ambitious "Fight with care" program, it's time to take stock. 

As part of its "Fight with Care" program, La Roche-Posay has set itself the target of allocating 1% of its sales by 2025 to awareness-raising, training and patient assistance initiatives through support for associations and product donations. And in just one year, the results are already very encouraging:

  • 160,000 people worldwide have benefited from support projects financed by La Roche-Posay, including almost 13,000 in France. Among them, 11,000 have been cared for by socio-aesthetics professionals, a profession that is still little-known, yet vital in providing care for patients weakened by cancer.
  • Since June 2022, more than 1,600 women in France have already been able to benefit from personalized online support on M@ Maison RoseUp, a digital service initiated by RoseUp association, of which La Roche-Posay is one of the financial backers.

"La Roche-Posay is an important partner for the RoseUp association. It supports our information mission by advertising in Rose magazine. It is also one of the financial backers of our new M@ Maison RoseUp platform, which enables us to be at the side of the greatest number of women affected by cancer throughout the country. Finally, La Roche-Posay has contributed to the production of our first corporate film, "Putain de maladie", which helps to reinforce our reputation and visibility with the general public". commented Isabelle Huet, director of the RoseUp association.

La Roche-Posay is also focusing its efforts on training: by 2022, it has trained nearly 8,000 healthcare professionals in oncology and the side effects of treatments, including almost 5,000 pharmacists, who since January 2021 have played a key role in supporting cancer patients and managing side effects. In particular, they can offer talks to patients undergoing oral chemotherapy(CTO). In this way, La Roche-Posay is helping to fund the development of training modules by Afsos, Association Francophone des Soins Oncologiques de Support, to help pharmacists develop their skills.

It is essential to raise awareness among patients and their caregivers of the cutaneous side effects of cancer treatment, and of ways to alleviate them. We still hear too many patients say "if only I'd known about these solutions, it would have changed my life!". We don't want to hear that again. That's why we've launched the Fight With Care program, with the aim of raising awareness among as many people as possible who are or will one day be confronted directly or indirectly with cancer, either as a patient or as a caregiver. said Laetitia Toupet, General Manager, La Roche-Posay International.

"As the world's 1st dermo-cosmetic brand recommended by dermatologists, it is our duty to advance knowledge and management of the cutaneous side effects of all types of cancer. Beyond the efficacy of our products, it is by adopting a holistic approach and going beyond skin care that we can also be useful. We must continue to collaborate with the whole ecosystem and support leading cancer experts and patient associations." - added Benjamin Brunschwig, Director of Sustainable Development at La Roche-Posay.

Baralan: sustainable versions of its standard packaging

Baralan, a renowned company in primary packaging for the cosmetics industry, expands its sustainable packaging options with the addition of environmentally friendly materials. Covering a wide range of standard products usually manufactured in plastic, the new component options significantly expand Baralan's sustainable packaging catalog for the beauty and personal care market.

Historically, Baralan's core business has been to offer products made from glass, a material universally considered to be environmentally friendly due to its recyclability. To combine glass products with suitable accessories, Baralan is committed to selecting new materials that have less impact on the environment and can serve as acceptable alternatives to traditional plastic components. These new product versions - made from eco-friendly materials - will form a new collection enriching the company's existing range of eco-friendly products.

With this new collection, Baralan emphasizes the importance of waste optimization by promoting recycling through the use of organic waste, such as coffee peels and rice. These organic wastes will be mixed with virgin plastic, reducing the overall plastic resin content to create a more sustainable solution suitable for the manufacture of a wide range of accessories in Baralan's standard collection.

Items in this collection can also be manufactured with varying percentages of PCR plastic - from 30 % to 100 % - offering multi-level recycling possibilities. The different levels of PCR enable brands to maintain the desired level of packaging aesthetics, while meeting their sustainability objectives and responding to growing consumer demand for sustainable products.

In addition, biobased materials - produced with a biopolymer derived from renewable resources and natural materials not linked to the food chain - can be used to guarantee total recyclability.

Another feature of this new collection is the possibility of producing black items without using carbon black, which is notoriously difficult to recycle, as the new masterbatch will not be obtained by combustion.

These new products will not only comply with mandatory regulations while meeting quality standards, but will also guarantee the protective efficacy of the product formula and its practical functionality.

"This is an exciting launch for Baralan, and an opportunity for us as a company to examine how and where we can expand our green offerings to better protect the environment, "says Maurizio Ficcadenti, Global R&D Manager. " Our vision is to continually develop new collections of sustainable products that offer both elegance and superior functionality."

Essential oils: latest scientific advances

The 4th edition of Aromadays, organized by Cosmed and the HE Consortium, will be held on 1 and 2 May.er and December 2 in Avignon. In this pivotal year for essential oils, this congress is a must-attend event to showcase the special features of essential oils.

- The European Commission will present a preview of the new proposals to revise the Reach and CLP regulations, which since 2021 have been the subject of campaigns such as "EO in Danger" by EO producers and professionals.

- FranceAgriMer, under the supervision of the French Ministry of Agriculture, will present the results of their first study (to be completed in September 2022) on the provenance of the PPAM (Perfumed, Aromatic and Medicinal Plants) most commonly used in organic cosmetics, and the levers for promoting a French origin.

- Pierre Fabre will complement these presentations on HE sourcing with feedback on their experience in securing supplies for sustainable sourcing.

- The subject of EO quality is also a highly critical one, and will be discussed at length during the congress. Indeed, essential oils are particularly affected by the risk of fraud/adulteration (e.g. blending with a close and less expensive EO, dilution, addition of synthetic compounds...) and the impact of fraud is far from negligible on the average quality of EOs. DNA Gensee and Botanicert will be presenting complementary innovations for the botanical and phytochemical identification of EOs to meet the quality expectations of various industries (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, etc.).

- The first cosmetics consortium, "ADN & Cosmétique", dedicated to the traceability of natural resources, which brings together major players in the perfumery and cosmetics industries (L'Oreal Research Innovation, LVMH Recherche, Laboratoire Clarins, Groupe Nuxe, CRODA, Greentech), will also be presenting its activities.

- For the 2nd day of Aromadays, Professor Robert Tisserand (author of the Essential Oil Safety "Bible"), Professor Patrice Rat from the University of Paris and the Léa Nature Laboratory will demonstrate, with scientific studies, why it is important to consider essential oils in their entirety, and not try to deduce their properties from data on their constituents.

- The latest scientific work by the EO Consortium highlights the value of EO blends in improving EO stability and preventing oxidation, a feature never before described in the literature. This research underscores the importance of protecting EOs from oxidation to control the risk of skin sensitization.

There will also be many other conferences on safety assessment, formulation and the constantly developing field of clinical aromatherapy.

Scentys unveils its new visual identity

With its new logo and signature, the airborne fragrance expert proclaims its commitment to technological excellence in the service of perfume.

Scentys, the French expert in air fragrance diffusion for twenty years, today unveils its new visual identity: new logo, new colors, new signature and new typography.

" This new graphic identity has been built around the fundamental values of Scentys: respect, excellence and innovation. "explains Pierre Loustric, Chairman of Scentys. " It perfectly reflects our vision: to give perfume the central place it rightfully deserves in our lives. ".

Scentys called on the Paris Heure Locale agency, which was able to respond perfectly to its brief: to express the luxurious side of perfume while highlighting the company's technological expertise.

" Paris Heure Locale's creative team succeeded brilliantly in transcribing our DNA by drawing inspiration from our capsule for the design of this new logo, illustrating our technological excellence. "comments Pierre Loustric. " As for the exclusive typography they've also created for us, with its sober lines, it exudes an elegant, refined atmosphere, perfectly in tune with the sensory worlds we're committed to creating for our customers. ".

Finally, the baseline "Excellence in Fragrance Diffusion" fully reflects the commitment made by Scentys since its creation: to provide its customers with the very best in diffusion technology to ensure excellence in the service of fragrance.

The new Scentys visual identity is now deployed on the company's website, available in French and English.

This development marks a new strategic step for the company, a few months after the opening of its first foreign subsidiary. Last March, Scentys announced the creation of Scentys Inc, its U.S. office, based in New York. Headed by Loïc Remoussenard, this new entity offers innovative solutions and customized service in line with the trends and needs of the American market - a strategic market due to its size, dynamism and the presence of multinational perfume companies.

Last May, Scentys also set up a brand-new Fragrance department, headed by Maxime Philippe-Bonelli, winner of the SFP International Perfumer-Creator Prize in 2021.

This department is responsible for developing home fragrances for its customers; bringing its own fragrance collection to life, ensuring that it evolves with the seasons and trends; working hand-in-hand with its customers to help them adapt their fragrances to Scentys diffusion technology; ensuring, in collaboration with the R&D teams, olfactory evaluation to maintain Scentys' exclusive level of quality at all times; and proposing innovations such as natural 100% fragrances.

Scentys has always strived for excellence in the service of fragrance, by providing the very best in diffusion technology. Our exclusive fragrance diffusion processes are the subject of several technological patents.

Back in 2005, the company developed an exclusive dry diffusion solution by encapsulating a pure perfume concentrate in polymer beads. These small beads are held in a capsule which, when integrated into a diffuser, releases subtle wafts of fragrance. This technology, which meets the most stringent international regulatory requirements, guarantees cold diffusion, with no added solvent or alcohol, and no afterglow. Fragrances diffused using this process are delivered with optimum efficiency, which has convinced major brands such as Diptyque and Jo Malone.

How to identify cosmetics?

Inspirational ideas for brands and retailers to unlock supply chain transparency and deliver seamless shopping experiences will be on show. !

Avery Dennison will be presenting its new digital identification technologies at Cosmetic360 in Paris, on October 12 and 13 at the Carrousel du Louvre (stand DC65). These offer the beauty and personal care industry end-to-end supply chain connectivity, transparency and traceability.

The cosmetics industry is undergoing considerable change, and expectations are constantly evolving. Today, technology offers a solution that enables supply chains to be more efficient, with better inventory visibility and richer customer experiences. By assigning individual products a unique identity, Avery Dennison's digital identification solutions such as RFID, QR code, NFC and low-energy bluetooth, powered by the connected products cloud, atma.io, open up vast opportunities for digital retail and supply chain management.
 
As supply chains are set to become even more complex in the future, investing in digital identification technologies now will yield long-term results, such as minimizing overproduction, reducing waste, and increasing sales and productivity. "explains Maryna Grytsenko, European Beauty and Personal Care Market Development Manager at Avery Dennison Smartrac. 
 
Beauty and personal care brands are no strangers to the challenge of inventory management. In fact, the segment is arguably facing the retail industry's biggest opportunity for improvement. Avery Dennison's atma.io digital identifiers and connected product cloud establish a single source of truth that brands can trust. They offer an extra level of authenticity and traceability throughout a product's journey: from manufacture to shelf and beyond. This is precisely the level of transparency the beauty industry needs, both from a regulatory point of view and in terms of consumer demand.

" At Cosmetic360, we look forward to demonstrating how this versatile technology can enable beauty and personal care retailers and brands to improve their operational efficiency and better understand their supply chains. "says Maryna Grytsenko.

In addition to transparency, traceability and stock accuracy, technologies such as NFC and QR codes, powered by atma.io, enable richer interactions between consumers and brands and their products beyond the point of sale.
