-

BASF and Ingredi, a Chinese supplier of natural active ingredients and solutions for the personal care industry, announce the signing of a partnership which includes a strategic shareholding by BASF in Ingredi.

While traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offerings are familiar to many consumers, the use of TCM-derived botanical actives is a new and growing trend in the body care sector.

Founded in 2017, Ingredi specializes in identifying new active ingredients for personal care products, derived from natural plants from the Himalayan region in China. BASF brings its expertise to help the successful use of these ingredients in personal care formulations. BASF will market these products to customers worldwide.

Ingredi has a proven track record and a solid reputation among local and international personal care formulators for introducing new active ingredients based on this tradition. Backed by a solid R&D platform and its own testing facilities (in vitro and in vivo), Ingredi has rapidly expanded its activities. BASF's shareholding now enables Ingredi to further expand its production.

In addition, BASF will work with Ingredi to develop new solutions and market them to the global personal care market.

" It is a great honor for us to be appreciated by BASF as a valuable partner for the industry." said Dr Ji Zhou, President and Founder of Ingredi, China. " The partnership with BASF will enable us to benefit from BASF's knowledge of the industry and the know-how of each of our partners." .

" We strive to bring new, innovative solutions to the personal care market, and to create a network of partners capable of helping our customers." said Dr Robert Parker, Director of New Business Development and Head of Digital, Care Chemicals at BASF. " We are proud to work with Ingredi and develop our business for mutual benefit." .

The partnership between BASF and Ingredi is just one recent example of how BASF's Care Chemicals division is meeting the challenges of the future. Sustainability, digitization, innovation and new approaches to collaboration are the main pillars of Care 360° - Solutions for Sustainable Life.

Eastman joins the Pact collective

Eastman supports the non-profit beauty industry association in its efforts to advance the circularity of beauty packaging.

Today, Eastman announced its membership of the non-profit organization Pact Collective. Pact is comprised of beauty industry stakeholders focused on improving the end-of-life of beauty packaging and developing solutions that promote circularity for the industry. Eastman and Pact will work together to harness Eastman's molecular recycling technologies to recycle beauty packaging that cannot be mechanically recycled and would otherwise end up in landfill or incinerated.


 " We are delighted to join Pact Collective. We share their goal of ending packaging waste in the beauty industry, and are excited to explore opportunities to leverage our molecular recycling technologies to increase beauty product recycling," said Tara Cary, Cosmetics Packaging Segment Manager at Eastman. "  Recycling challenges for the beauty industry are complex. Eastman is committed to working with the industry to find solutions for a more sustainable future. Pact Collective is positioned to bring value chain participants together to achieve concrete results. " 
Pact Collective offers both an in-store collection program and a mail-back program for hard-to-recycle beauty packaging. Pact saw Eastman as a valuable partner because of its innovative molecular recycling technologies, which offer the possibility of recycling materials that the industry can reuse in packaging.
" Pact identifies the best possible use for the materials we collect - always starting with mechanical recycling where possible. What we like about Eastman's technology is that it's true material-to-material recycling, not waste-to-energy recycling." said Mia Davis, co-founder of Pact. " Eastman can help us keep plastic in circulation, creating more recycled content that can be used in future packaging for beauty products and other items." 
Eastman is a pioneer in molecular recycling - innovative technologies that source hard-to-recycle plastic waste rather than fossil-based raw materials to create high-performance materials. These technologies divert plastic waste from landfill, giving it new life and reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional production.
Over the past 18 months, Eastman has launched two sustainable material portfolios for cosmetic packaging using its molecular recycling technologies - Eastman Cristal Renew resins with high levels of certified recycled content and Eastman Cristal One Renew resins that offer brands recycled content as well as recyclability in the municipal recycling stream. As an important next step in building the circular economy, Eastman is exploring strategic take-back programs in many of the markets it serves to create "small closed loops" such as recycled beauty packaging.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil, a must-have revealed by Texen

Clarins presents a new version of its iconic Lip Comfort Oil range, launched in a round pack and featuring eight tinted natural oils promising color, glossy shine and care in line with the Hybrid Make Up trend. Texen continues its long-standing collaboration with the brand, this time in the make-up segment.

For this launch, Clarins wanted to combine the new pack design with the technicality required for the application of a colored skincare oil. In addition, it chose Texen's European 100 % production. The company distinguished itself on these points, and met the challenge of an extremely tight time-to-market.

Design and precision

For this project, Texen took charge of production and assembly of the parts: the engraved and gold-metallized cap and collar, the brush holder and wringer, and the bottle, which features a thick, premium base and guarantees protection of the formula through a specific treatment. Its development required particular care, especially for the wringer. This involved adapting to the ergonomics of the applicator chosen by the brand, and perfecting a wringer that deposits just the right drop of oil for "optimal application and a voluptuous gesture". This project owes its success to the collaboration between the marketing and development teams at Clarins and Texen, including application tests and real-time adjustment of the wringer.

Set design by the millimetre

The brand's decoration is engraved in the mold on the collar and on the top of the cap, with perfect indexing of the motifs and latrines between the two parts, ensuring good brand visibility. Available in eight standard shades, Lip Comfort Oil is also available in a bespoke Lipgloss Factory concept. This allows consumers to create their own shade and order it online. The Lip Comfort Oil range, on the borderline between skincare and make-up, doesn't seem to have said its last word.

We have been at the forefront of innovation in lipsticks for many years, and this extension enables us to extend our expertise in formulas and processes to offer products and services that go beyond market standards.

They are enriched with skincare ingredients and fragrances to offer even more customization possibilities. To represent different needs, from entry-level products to high-end and luxury solutions, five different cases have been selected and embellished with individual decorations.
From screen printing and hot foil stamping to 4C printing on paper, gradient metallization and digital printing, Schwan Cosmetics demonstrates the diversity of possibilities for personalizing lipsticks according to brand identity.

Portfolio expansion launched with the " This is me! This is who I want to be "and is based on the belief that while lipsticks alone can't change the world, the people who wear them can.

To get closer to this state of mind, the development of the collection was inspired by the feeling evoked by the application of lipstick and the fact that it is more than just a beauty routine. More than that, it can boost self-confidence and, especially in the wake of the pandemic, it's a tool for expressing one's uniqueness.

The samples will be available in three to six different shades per formula, and will be presented for the first time at MakeUp in NewYork on September 14 and 15. River Pavillion - Stand A19.

Challenged by the brand, Quadpack pushed back the boundaries and developed a custom cap in pure wood for its fragrance range.

Where there's a will, there's a way. This saying applies perfectly to the collaboration between international beauty packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack and Shiseido on the Woodacity cap. which oversees the new fragrances "L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia" and "L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau & Cèdre". These unique, made-to-measure caps in pure wood were the result of intense research and development, motivated by his wish to satisfy Shiseido's desire for a single-material cap on an organic base for its fragrance collection.

Two years later, the design team and engineering department have brought Woodacity to life.This pure-wood solution features no plastic inserts and, thanks to its "solo push" grooved design, provides a watertight closure system that protects the formula. As well as being functional and durable, these hoods offer unrivalled aesthetics.

The women's fragrance bottle, covered by an elongated cap, and the men's version, featuring a cap resembling a cedar burr, offer a minimalist design that represents a "return to the essentials" and echoes the raw nature from which they draw their inspiration. "We're very proud of the Woodacity hoods we've developed for Shiseido. Thanks to our long-term partnership with the brand, which challenged Quadpack to bring this innovation to life, we now offer one of our most innovative wooden systems," explains Denisa Stircea, Wood Category Lead at Quadpack.

Both hoods are made in Europe, and the wood comes from sustainably managed European forests.

Medicinal herbs for organic cosmetics to grow on smart vertical farms: Capsum opens a lab farm in its research center using iFarm technology

By
The editorial staff

Capsum, an artisanal cosmetics manufacturer from France, has launched an innovative vertical farm to grow its natural ingredients with an IT-driven approach in a fully controlled environment. A pilot laboratory farm is able to produce microgreens, herbs and flowers. All processes are software-driven, with no human/weather/logistical factors - enabling totally predictable nutrients with absolute eco-safety. Vertical farming is widely used to produce ultra-fresh leafy greens and vegetables locally in cities.

iFarm has completed work on Capsum's state-of-the-art agricultural laboratory, a joint project announced for late 2021. Located on the company's existing R&D site at its Marseille plant, the lab enables Capsum scientists to grow their own high-quality ingredients for new cosmetic formulas. Using iFarm technologies for vertical farming, Capsum will grow a range of crops, including microgreens and flowers. The experimental farm is controlled by iFarm Growtune software, which provides Capsum with the tools and data needed to optimize plant growth.
" Indoor cultivation is perfect for the beauty industry, as it allows us to grow in a fully controlled environment, without pesticides or harmful chemicals. iFarm's technology meets the needs of our researchers, as they can vary a wide range of parameters "said Capsum CEO Anthony Briot. The pilot lab includes the automatic control system and three growing rooms with experimental racks based on Ebb-and-Flow hydroponic technology. The facility enables Capsum to conduct experiments, test new plant varieties and streamline its supply chain with home-grown, pesticide-free cosmetic ingredients. Microverts are one of the plant types used in Capsum's organic cosmetics, and they are currently researching innovative extraction methods. The research process is long and complex, but all the technologies needed to continue production and R&D year-round are already in place. The potential benefits of indoor farming for innovative cosmetics companies go beyond the laboratory setting. " With iFarm, customers can start with an R&D project, then expand to industrial production of herbs, flowers and micro vegetables, with full hardware and software support along the way. A stable, predictable crop throughout the year, guaranteed to be free from potential contamination by pesticides or other harmful chemicals, would also be beneficial for larger production volumes. "said Timo Koljonen, iFarm's Vice President of Sales.
