Quadpack's refillable product evolution for solid formulas

By
The editorial staff
-

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

By

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).

Gattefossé was awarded the Trophée Inpi 2022 in the export category at a ceremony held at the Institut de France. A fine reward for Gattefossé, which has made innovation a pillar of its growth by pursuing a determined and consistent industrial policy.

INPI Trophies: recognition for French innovation

Created in 1991, the Trophées Inpi (Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle) reward companies that are emblematic of French innovation, and stand out for their exemplary industrial property strategy. This year, the Trophées honor fifteen SMEs, start-ups and Eti, competing in 5 categories: Export, Industry, Responsible Innovation, Partnership Research and Start-up. The jury for the 2022 edition is chaired by Bernard Reybier, Chairman of the Board of Fermob, winner of the Trophées in 2013.

An industrial property strategy to protect and perpetuate your ideas

Gattefossé's innovation policy is based on two pillars:

- In-house research, carried out at the Saint Priest site (Lyon metropolitan area) and at application laboratories in India, China and the United States by engineers and PhDs in pharmacy, chemistry and biology.

- 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 products are used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, but the related know-how is varied. These include chemical synthesis processes, plant extraction, chemical analysis or various pharmaceutical galenic and cosmetic forms.

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.

To date, Gattefossé has a portfolio of 18 patent families and 195 trademarks protecting products, manufacturing processes and applications for its two markets. The patents cover several key countries, including France, Germany, the UK, the USA and China.

Last April, Gattefossé launched a new natural plant-based active ingredient for the cosmetics industry, the fruit of a collaboration with with a research group specializing in the study of the effects of genotoxic stress. 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.

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

By
The editorial staff

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. "
