For many years, Creapharm Cosmetics, a manufacturer of custom cosmetics, has made naturalness the spearhead of its formulation laboratory. Anticipating the needs of the cosmetics industry, CREAPHARM continually offers new cosmetics ranges, with pre-developed formulas in line with consumer trends. Solid cosmetics, for example, have enriched the product portfolios of many Creapharm customers. In addition, our experts have recently been working with brands to reformulate their products for ever greater naturalness.
Durability: the Formule + Pack duo
But every formula needs to be packaged! Packaging is also a sustainable development issue. In 2022, Creapharm Cosmetics invested in a new packaging machine dedicated to the automatic filling of aluminum tubes. A packaging machine capable of processing more durable, 100 % recyclable and environmentally-friendly materials, while guaranteeing excellence in terms of production lead times.
An aluminium tube filler, the choice of machine
- Technology: automatic filling and closing of aluminum tubes by bending with metal head closure - Quality: designed to take care of products during the packaging process - Flexibility: optimized tool changeover and cleaning for rapid production changeovers (new product or new format). - CSR: a machine designed and manufactured in France by a supplier committed to sustainable beauty. The machine Creapharm has invested in is designed to last. All arguments in line with Creapharm Group's Purchasing Charter and CSR Charter.
Caroline Serafini, Manager of the Creapharm Cosmetics site in La Neuville-en-Hez, near Paris, confirms: " Because one of Creapharm Cosmetics' strong commitments is to offer brands turnkey solutions that meet the challenge of sustainability, we are proud to propose a coherent offer, from the formulation to the packaging of these cosmetic products: formulas with a very high level of naturalness in the most eco-responsible packs possible. Brands are looking for products that reflect the right balance between naturalness and technology, and the acquisition of this new aluminum tube filler will enable us to meet their needs. "

Since its creation in 1980, Biolandes has worked conscientiously to respect nature and people.
Minimizing its impact on the environment and preserving local ecosystems have always been at the heart of its decisions. This commitment has been a constant feature of the company's day-to-day choices and vision, as well as of the various ranges of extracts it offers.
In keeping with this approach, the brand is sharing the latest additions to its range of natural products, for this 2022 edition of Simppar.
Popcorn extract
In partnership with a local company in southwest France, Biolandes offers this unique natural extract.
It is also part of the upcycling range, thanks to its sourcing and production process: it processes corn kernel waste, which is extracted at the Le Sen site.
Its soft, sweet notes evolve into an addictive buttery dominance that's truly reminiscent of popcorn! The finish remains soft, warm, evoking a very persistent cereal scent, a reference to the original material. It becomes a wonderful ingredient to combine with floral notes, woody notes or musks.
Oman incense essence
Olibanum, more commonly known as "frankincense", is an emblematic plant of the Middle East, where it grows wild in regions with rocky, chalky soil. It is prized for its "tears", hard clusters formed by the natural crystallization of its resinous exudate. Gathered by hand, they are used for a variety of purposes, including local cultural practices ranging from medicinal treatments to religious celebrations. Different qualities of tears can be identified, producing oils with distinct aromatic profiles.
For Simppar 2022, the brand has chosen to present an original Boswellia sacra essence obtained from high-grade Omani tears, sourced in the heart of the natural growing areas of Dhofar province.
Encens Oman Essence breaks with the olfactory codes of its Somalian namesake: it boasts very fresh terpenic top notes that persist right through to the base notes, providing a very clean, fresh effect. In the heart, the balmy, spicy-fruity effects characteristic of incense resources evolve towards a subtly zesty freshness that gives it its originality.
Ylang-ylang complete comores bio essence
Its Comorian distillery, based in Domoni (the largest in Anjouan), was created in 2007 and bought by Biolandes in 2014. It can produce 4 T of ylang-ylang and integrates a network of 250 farmers and distillers.
Its presence in the Comoros enables it, in collaboration with the authorities and its suppliers, to :
- find solutions to the problem of adulteration of ylang-ylang essential oils;
- work to improve essential oil quality;
- contribute to the professionalization of local distillers (training in financial management, calculating profitability);
- reduce environmental impact, particularly with regard to deforestation and water use (financial and technical assistance to improve distilleries, especially their wood consumption, and assistance in recycling distillation cooling water).
The company's commitment to protecting the environment and local populations has resulted in the Ecocert label being awarded to all its ylang-ylang products: improved cultivation, and the transmission of good practices to tree owners, have made it possible to develop this partnership by being the first to offer certified organic extracts of Comorian origin. As a result, we now offer this great perfumery classic in pure, natural 100%.
Used in fine fragrances, cosmetics and personal care products, complete ylang ylang oil delivers all the facets of these pretty flowers: fruity scents evoking banana in the top note, floral opulence in the heart note, and a smoky signature in the base note.
♦ In its Rouen laboratory, SGS, world leader in testing, inspection and certification, has specialized in chemical, physicochemical and ecotoxicological analyses for several decades. ♦ Since 2021, SGS has been offering cosmetics manufacturers and distributors a unique analysis method for testing the 57 allergens defined in SCCS opinion 1459/11 of June 2012, and which is currently the subject of a draft European regulation, with entry into force scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2022. ♦ Adapted from IFRA, this new method has been developed using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Its reduced number of injections per sample saves time in data reprocessing. In addition to ingredients, analyses are particularly focused on finished products, as the presence of possible allergen precursors and the instability of certain formulas can generate allergens not predicted during the development phase.
After nickel allergy, fragrance allergy is the most widespread skin allergy. Fragrances are almost always present in cosmetic products, whether in the form of synthetic substances or of natural origin, such as essential oils. They can potentially trigger a contact allergy affecting the skin, generally the face, armpits and hands, or cause skin irritation in certain individuals, such as eczema. The SGS Rouen laboratory, specialized in chemical, physico-chemical and ecotoxicological analyses, employs over 100 people and processes around 50,000 samples a year, from all sectors of activity, including cosmetics, detergents and hygiene products. It has state-of-the-art equipment, including chromatographic and spectral techniques, enabling it to search for trace chemical substances covered by regulations. To meet the needs of manufacturers and distributors of cosmetic products, relating to the 57 allergens defined in the SCCS notice 1459/11 of June 2012, SGS has developed a unique method of analysis. Adapted from the Ifra method, it was developed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). It allows to detect and quantify that the 57 fragrances, including some isomers, have a concentration lower than 0.001% in the non rinsed products and 0.01% in the rinsed products. Above these concentrations, allergens will have to be labelled to inform the consumer. " To enable analysis of finished products and complex matrices, we have adapted the IFRA method, originally developed for perfumery ingredients. We use two columns of different polarity and systematic matrix doping to guarantee the reliability of our results. Based on our experience, we recommend carrying out these analyses on finished products, due to possible interactions when mixing ingredients, the possible presence of allergen precursors and the instability of certain formulas over time. In this way, customers can guarantee the conformity of their products right up to their estimated end-of-life. "says Audrey Guibet, Cosmetics & Hygiene strategic expert, SGS France. Consumers will be warned of allergenic components in the list of ingredients labelled on the product (INCI list). The higher the concentration of an ingredient present, the higher its position in the INCI list. " This analysis of finished products enables us to guarantee manufacturers, distributors and consumers that our cosmetic products comply with current and future regulations. "concludes Carine Dumas, Cosmetics & Hygiene Development Manager, SGS France.
Regulatory requirements*:
To date, 25** allergens have been tested and must be labeled if present {** Lirai banned since August 2021).
The SCCS opinion 1459/11 of June 2012, which recommended informing consumers about the presence of 62 additional allergens, is the subject of a regulation that will come into force in 2022.
In all, 87*** allergenic substances will have to be monitored. *** Of these 87 substances, 57 are currently technically analyzable, as the NF EN 16274 standard will be updated in September 2021. Not all allergens are covered by this method, as some are complex mixtures such as plant extracts. Application timetable :
Adoption of regulations: 1st quarter 2022
2*™ quarter 2025: ban on marketing non-compliant products.
2nd quarter 2027: withdrawal of non-compliant products from the market.

Founded on May 30, 1962 in Castres by a young pharmacist, entrepreneur at heart and botany enthusiast, the Pierre Fabre Group is preparing to celebrate its 60th anniversary. In the space of 6 decades, without ever renouncing its Occitan roots, Pierre Fabre has become a world-class player in oncology, dermatology and dermo-cosmetics. 95% of its industrial production is carried out between Tarn, Flérault, Gers, Lot and Loiret and more than two-thirds is exported to 116 countries.
It all began in a pharmacy located on Place Jean-Jaurès in Castres, Pierre Fabre's hometown. It was here that the young pharmacist, a start-upper before his time, developed his first drug in the late 1950s. It was Cyclo 3, a veinotonic created from an active ingredient extracted from the roots of a local shrub: the little holly. Cyclo 3, which represented a real therapeutic advance for the time.
The enthusiastic reception Cyclo 3 received from the patients of his pharmacy convinced Pierre Fabre to found his own company. This was done on May 30, 1962, the day the articles of association of Laboratoires Pierre Fabre were officially registered with the Castres Commercial Court.
" Like the little holly tree that remains green and leafy in all seasons, the Pierre Fabre Group has never stopped growing since 1962. Six decades of innovation at the service of patients and consumers, six decades of working to strengthen the link between medicine and naturalness, six decades of radiating throughout the world while remaining faithful to our region of origin. We are proud of our Group's history, rich in the humanistic values instilled by our founder. He was a visionary who understood well before his time that there can be no progress without respect for Nature and Man. "comments Marc Alias, Director of Communications & Engagement.
In 2021, Pierre Fabre achieved a turnover of 2.5 billion euros, divided between Medicines (45%) and Dermo-cosmetics (55%), two thirds of which were generated outside France. This international reach does not prevent the Group from making "Made in France" a strategic priority. More than 95% of the products manufactured by the Group in 7 plants located in the departments of Tarn, Hérault, Gers, Lot and Loiret. Pierre Fabre employs 5300 people in France (out of 9600). 68% are based in Occitania where the Group concentrates its main decision-making centers and makes significant investments each year.
60 years after its creation and the launch of Cyclo 3, Pierre Fabre generates 62% of its sales with products whose active ingredients are derived from nature. 75% of the plants used are cultivated without phytosanitary treatments (nearly half of which are organic), with the Group cultivating 181 hectares of organic farmland in the Tarn region. Each year, its researchers develop between 3 and 5 new organic plant active ingredients or eco-extracts.
On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, the Pierre Fabre Group is opening its doors to the public in the Tarn region:
An ephemeral "Pierre Fabre village", set up in the heart of Castres from July 8 to 10, will present all of the Group's activities to the public through some forty events.
For the first time, the general public will have the opportunity to discover two emblematic sites of the Pierre Fabre Group: every Tuesday morning, between 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., a tour organized in partnership with the Castres tourist office will allow visitors to discover the Botanical Conservatory of Cambounet-sur-le-Sor, where the Group houses 916 varieties of plants (254 of which are endangered), and the manufacturing plant for dermo-cosmetic specialties in Soual.
To commemorate the Group's 60th anniversary, let's go back in time and relive some of the key moments in its history.
1951 - A force that will ... At the age of 25, Pierre Fabre made a decision that would change his life: he obtained a loan from the bank to open a pharmacy in his hometown in the Tarn. In 1958, the pharmacist developed Cyclo 3, based on local holly, to help his patients fight their problems of heavy legs and blood circulation. The success of Cyclo 3 allowed Pierre Fabre to found his own company in 1962. This man, a visionary, was extremely involved in the development of the and takes care of everything. He visits the manufacturers to check the manufacturing conditions of the plant extract. And it is still him who goes on the road with his product in his briefcase to meet doctors and pharmacists, in Paris, Bordeaux and as far as Alsace.
1962 The birth of Pierre Fabre Laboratories On the strength of his first commercial success and an entrepreneur at heart, Pierre Fabre decided to combine a vocation, pharmacy, with a passion, botany. This is how the Pierre Fabre Laboratories came into being. A building was built to house the first employees who worked in research and manufacturing. Little by little, the young laboratory's portfolio was expanded to include new medicines.
1965 The invention of dermo-cosmetics Klorane shampoo with chamomile marks the launch of a new activity: dermo-cosmetics, which will be the exclusive preserve of pharmacies. This was a founding moment in the company's history, reflecting Pierre Fabre's desire to take care of everyone, "from their health to their beauty". For him, skin and hair care products require the same level of care as medication.
1976 Nature at the heart of the Group Selecting the right plant varieties, cultivating in a more respectful way, building a plant extraction plant in Gaillac, creating laboratories and botanical gardens, revealing the properties of Avène-les-Bains thermal spring water and formulating plant-based health and care products: this passion that runs through its veins is the lifeblood of the Group.
1999 The Pierre Fabre Foundation 86% of Pierre Fabre's shares are held by the Pierre Fabre Foundation, which was recognized as a public utility in 1999, and secondarily by its employees through an employee shareholding plan. Pierre Fabre wanted the Foundation to become the Group's main shareholder by designating it as its universal legatee. This is a unique model in France, since it is the only French company to pay 86% of its dividends for the common good. Born from the indignation of its founder at the scourge of counterfeit medicines in Africa, the Foundation has been working since its creation to improve access to healthcare for populations in the South, in conjunction with local actors.
2005 A human adventure above all In 2005, the Ruscus shareholding plan was set up. Today, nearly 9 out of 10 employees are shareholders, associated with the Group's results and thus contributing to its independence. In November 2021, the American magazine Forbes published its annual ranking of the world's best employers. At the top of the ranking is the Pierre Fabre Group, a testimony to its reputation in the industry and to the attachment of its employees to their company.
2011 Launch of Sterile Cosmetics Sterile Cosmetics is currently the first and only solution to offer formulas with a minimum of components, containing only essential active ingredients for the most sensitive skin, without any preservatives. A new generation of dermo-cosmetic products carried by the brands Eau Thermale Avène, A-Derma and Ducray.
2013 Pierre Fabre bequeaths his company to a foundation of public utility
To ensure the company's future and avoid financial speculation, Pierre Fabre bequeathed all of his shares to the eponymous Foundation, recognized as being of public utility since 1999. This was the last altruistic and innovative gesture of a visionary entrepreneur, driven throughout his life by humanist values in the service of patients and his native region. A shareholding structure unique in France for an industrial company of this size.
2018 - Skin cancer, a new hopeful treatment In 2015, the Pierre Fabre Group signed a global partnership with Array BioPharma, an American biotech based in Colorado. The aim was to develop and market a targeted cancer therapy combining two new-generation molecules. At the end of 2018, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) authorized the marketing of this new treatment for adult patients with advanced melanoma carrying the BRAF mutation. In 2020, Pierre Fabre receives marketing authorization for one of these two molecules for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF mutation (in combination with another molecule), a first in Europe.
2022 - The Pierre Fabre Group opens its doors for its 60th anniversary Pierre Fabre Village from July 7 to 10 Located on the emblematic Pierre Fabre La Michonne site in Castres, a village presenting the group's activities will be entirely created and open to all. A unique event to come and meet the group's employees who will be leading educational workshops, conferences and interactive stands. Opening of the Soual plant and the Botanical Conservatory to the public from June 2022 For the first time, the Pierre Fabre Group is opening the doors of its Botanical Conservatory located in Cambounet sur le Sor and its dermo-cosmetic production plant in Soual. Once a week, the general public will have the privilege of going behind the scenes of 2 new places to understand the origins, the functioning and the ambitions of the Group. Much more than a guided tour, it is a journey into the Pierre Fabre universe, discovering more than 240 plants used in the group's products, the actions taken to preserve them, as well as the way in which the dermo-cosmetic products are manufactured before being sold in pharmacies and parapharmacies.
