Silab, world leader in the engineering of natural active ingredients, opens a new biotechnology laboratory, more ergonomic and better sized to meet strong demand.

A year after commissioning a second production line that quadrupled the production capacity of its yeasts, microalgae and bacteria, Silab is now dedicating a new, larger space to its biotechnology research laboratory, equipped with the latest technological advances. " This new layout was necessary to support the growing business generated by increased customer demand for biotech products. It is part of an overall program of 9 million euros invested over the last three years in biotechnologies, alongside industrial projects such as "comments Xavier Gaillard, Silab's Deputy Managing Director for Strategy.

The means are thus put in place to continue exploring the immense potential of various micro-organisms in order to develop innovative biotechnological raw materials for the production of high value-added natural active ingredients. Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Silab's Deputy Managing Director for Innovation, adds: " We decided very early on to make biotechnologies a major strategic development focus, because we believe they represent a powerful lever for innovation. Indeed, the diversity of micro-organisms opens up an immense field of possibilities. Biomimetic approaches also make it possible to develop novel processes, such as bioguidance. This is a field in which much remains to be discovered, and which offers exciting prospects for the development of innovative new active molecules. "

Thanks to the internalization of all stages, from the research phase to the industrialization of micro-organisms, Silab offers ever more innovative biotechnological solutions, meeting today's major challenges of security, traceability and respect for the environment (sustainability of supplies). The company's objective is to continue to increase its share of natural active ingredients of biotech origin, which today represent 20 % of its catalog.

Superga Beauty positions itself on the upcycling in full service

Superga Beauty introduces its first line of products made for full-service upcycling. In partnership with the cosmetic formulation laboratory GBC, the 360-degree beauty provider innovates by offering premium skincare products formulated with a high rate of upcycling and an increased eco-responsibility approach.

The upcycling to go further in the ecoresponsible approach

Upcycling is the process of reclaiming materials intended to be discarded to create higher quality products or objects. The "waste" is transformed and premiumized or diverted. It is adorned with new and valuable functions. Big names in the beauty industry as well as suppliers have taken up these issues, which meet the current expectations of consumers in search of naturalness and meaning. Superga Beauty affirms its will to be a precursor of this paradigm shift by proposing to brands a full service offer of upcycling cosmetics and care products.

A skincare line with over 85 % of upcycling ingredients

" Our goal at Superga Beauty is to move the needle and open up new areas of eco-friendly and creative possibilities for brands. Currently, when formulas incorporate ingredients from upcycling, it is at minimal levels. With our French partner, the GBC laboratory, we wanted to mark a major evolution and define a core formula almost entirely derived from upcycling. The first challenge was to identify the source of water. The second was to integrate it into sensorial, effective and stable formulas. This is the achievement of the GBC laboratory. Of course, we didn't stop there! The entire range is designed in terms of an ecological approach, right down to the accompanying kit, which is made from transformed jeans scraps. "explains Leslie Bréau Meniger, President of Superga Beauty.

With this upcycling approach, Superga Beauty pushes the cursor of eco-responsibility further and allows brands a new positioning. They can combine, via the full service offer, formulas with a high rate of upcycling and significant advances in terms of ecological approach.

With GBC, Superga Beauty has developed a first range of three apple-based facials: the Gala mask, the Golden serum and the Granny gel.

Each product is composed of a minimum of 95.4 % of naturally derived ingredients, 88.3 % of upcycling ingredients and 50 % of water from the dehydration of the fruit (upcylated).

The reuse and recovery of water from fruit dehydration is an innovative technical achievement and opens the way to significant water savings in a water-intensive industry.

" We have created an upcycled range with sensorial and effective formulas that do not compromise on pleasure. The result is a true beauty routine for a radiant complexion. This full service range is a demonstration of our expertise. It can be adapted to fit into our clients' catalogs "completes Leslie Bréau Meniger.

The combined expertise of Superga Beauty and GBC is aimed at all brands wishing to offer their customers new ranges of upcycled products, and pushes, further, the limits of eco-responsibility.

Fleur Phelipeau, founder of the nutricosmetics brand D-LAB, opens a 2700m2 green factory in the heart of Allier

By
The editorial staff
-

A pioneer in France in the beauty food supplement sector, with over 10 years' experience in the market, D-LAB now lovingly manufactures and packages its products in its own green factory in St-Bonnet-de-Rochefort in the Allier region. It's a new challenge and an achievement for Fleur Phelipeau, a 38-year-old entrepreneur with the same obsession: to offer the best for the body and the planet!

A benchmark in the dietary supplements sector since 2009

Since launching D-LAB in 2009, Fleur Phelipeau has come a long way: she now heads up 5 nutricosmetics brands (D-LAB, Birdie, Claude Aphrodisiacs, Phyto Factory and Révèle) generating annual sales of 7 million euros, and now runs her own factory!

The secret behind the success of these brands? Natural, highly effective formulas, synthesizing the very best in plant extracts. In addition to its 100% clean formulas made in France, D-LAB has been paying particular attention to its environmental impact for many years, choosing recyclable packaging and certified printers.

D-LAB Industry: a new-generation green factory

Fleur Phelipeau invested 4.2 million euros to create the factory of her dreams, offering green, innovative and positive-impact 100 % industrial production: a first in the French dietary supplements sector. She chose the Vichy region as a return to her roots (her parents ran the Thermes) and the opportunity to create a virtuous ecosystem in the region: the plant is located within the Naturopôle Nutrition Santé in Saint-Bonnet de Rochefort.

Freshly inaugurated and already in production, the plant employs some thirty people, almost all of them urbanites who chose to join the adventure by setting up in the Allier region. D-LAB Industry concentrates the entire food supplement creation and production chain in a single location: from R&D and regulatory services to manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, marketing and shipping.

Respectful construction

Designed down to the smallest detail to be as environmentally friendly as possible, nothing was left to chance in either its construction or its operation:Virtuous work: extraction was carried out directly on the Naturopôle, and transport of materials was kept to a minimum (less than 150 km).

Zero waste: raw materials stored in reusable drums, composting of organic waste, no disposable equipment, green laundry inside the plant, water fountains, animals on site (chickens, sheep, etc.).

Water savings: rainwater harvesting from the roof (in tanks) and installation of "noues" (ditches to retain and convey rainwater), mechanical cleaning, communal laundry...

Creation of green energy: solar panels on the roof, choice of high-performance insulating materials to reduce thermal inertia, low-consumption light fittings, lighting system that follows circadian cycles...

Short-distance sourcing: most of the plants used to formulate our supplements are grown locally (within a radius of less than 15 km).

ADF, PCD and PLD the Paris Packaging Week 2022 shows: a unifying edition and a plebiscite from professionals!

A full house for both visitors and exhibitors

Some 6,912 visitors and a total of 10,509 attendees (including exhibitors' staff) and 637 exhibitors passed through the "cyan, magenta and yellow" doors of Paris Packaging Week. The event organized by EasyFairs brought together professionals from the aerosol (ADF), beauty and fragrance (PCD), premium beverage (PLD) and other luxury sectors. The magic of the synergy between these three worlds worked once again this year, with a loyal visitor base.

" We are very happy with the numbers of visitors and exhibitors. The health context suggested a drop in the number of participants, but this was not the case! Paris Packaging Week is back to the excellent figures of its 2020 edition, with an additional human dimension: the pleasure of finally getting together. This is what struck me as I toured the show. The atmosphere was one of smiles, of communicative energy, of the joy of being face to face again. It was the reunion our industry needed. " says Josh Brooks, event director of Paris Packaging Week.

An event that met the expectations of its visitors and exhibitors

Paris Packaging Week is proud to have gathered for its exhibitors a very qualified visitor, composed of purchasing, packaging, design or marketing managers of brands, whether from the luxury, masstige or indie brands. We can thus mention some of the best companies in the industry: L'Oréal, Martell Mumm Perrier Jouët, Chanel, Hermès, LVMH, Nuxe, Coty, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Rémy Cointreau, 900.care, L'Occitane, Sephora, Pierre Fabre, Beiersdorf, Cartier, Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits, Pernod Ricard, Diageo, Campari, and many others

Highlights of Paris Packaging Week 2022

The 2022 edition of Paris Packaging Week was unique in many ways. It was unique because it was the first edition under the name "Paris Packaging Week" and with a transformed graphic identity. It was also special because it was held on a date that is unusual in the history of the show: the end of June, instead of the end of January. And a special edition with its share of novelties and events within the event.

The Innovation Awards are finally taking place in person!

After the results were unveiled last April, the ADF, PCD and PLD Awards ceremonies were held in the presence of all participants. Three highlights and an Innovation Awards gallery highlighted the most relevant packaging of recent months.

The Innovation Awards highlighted 5 key market trends:

  • The monomaterial,
  • Reduction or relief,
  • Recharging,
  • Personalization,
  • The customer experience.

Each ceremony was marked by a keynote speech from a leading figure in his or her sector: the PCD Innovation Awards by Franck Marilly, President and CEO of Shiseido EMEA, the ADF Innovation Awards by Alain d'Haese, General Secretary of the FEA (European Aerosol Federation), and the PLD Innovation Awards by Sandrine Sommer, Chief Sustainability Officer of Moët Hennessy.

The student challenges and the ESIReims premiere

Students from ESEPAC and ESP competed around the theme "How to reinvent unique, luxurious and sustainable consumer experiences for the luxury fragrance market?" Five projects were chosen as winners, and their creators were invited to present them on the PCD Talks stage.

For the first time in 2022, ESIReims proposed a double challenge to its students and offered them the opportunity to show their know-how to professionals of the sector, both industrial and brand. The challenge launched by Huda Beauty consisted in either totally reinventing a palette of 18 shades by making it refillable and recyclable, or transforming the secondary packaging of the Kayali brand's flagship perfume by rethinking it in terms of eco-design and industrialization.

These key topics that were at the heart of all conversations

Several topics stood out, whether in the aisles, in the conversations or in the conferences. Eco-responsibility has undoubtedly become the number one issue raised by brands and promoted by exhibitors. The 2022 edition has highlighted a tangible rise in refill solutions, monomaterial and/or lightweight packaging, attention to CSR, and the desire to integrate the circular economy, all in an approach that is always creative and modern. Today's packaging is in the midst of a green revolution, and Paris Packaging Week will have made its contribution to this essential transformation.

See you at Paris Packaging Week 2023

The next edition of Paris Packaging Week will be held on January 25 and 26, 2023, still at Porte de Versailles. It has already been announced with two major novelties: the integration of the Packaging Première show and the partnership with the FEA (European Aerosol Federation).
