Launch of SOS Liquid Bandage by Fiabila for brittle nails

site-industries-cosmetiques A transparent bottle of Fiabila SOS Liquid Bandage Nail Repair stands on a pink-to-white checkered background. A pink, heart-shaped bandage appears at the top right of the bottle.

Fiabila introduces SOS Liquid Bandage, an innovative nail care solution designed to seal and strengthen cracks, splits and breaks.

This nail care solution for fragile nails has been developed to seal and strengthen cracks, splits and breaks. The formula provides instant stabilization while promoting long-term nail durability.

Fill'n'Seal Tech

The innovation is based on exclusive Fill'n'Seal Tech technology, a formulation designed to instantly seal, fill and reinforce damaged areas, acting as an adhesive that's both high-performance and nail-friendly. The formula takes the form of a precision liquid film, with perfectly controlled viscosity: fluid enough to penetrate microcracks, interstices and breaks, yet thick enough to stay in place and provide lasting support.

Assets and applications

The formula contains 1.11 % active ingredients selected for their complementary strengthening and caring properties. Glycolic acid, for example, helps improve nail appearance, while marine silicon supports nail structure. MSM boosts mechanical strength, and a patented chestnut seed extract targets fragile conditions. Together, these ingredients combine repair, protection and care in a single gesture, facilitating the nail's recovery from repeated applications.

The resulting film smoothes the nail surface, improves its visual appearance and protects it from the mechanical stresses of everyday use. The claimed benefits are based on the characteristics of the formula developed by Fiabila, which must undergo specific evaluation on the finished product, in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Evolution of FlorIndex: an eco-score for fragrances

site-industries-cosmetiques A glass bottle with condensation is in the background. Superimposed text reads "TechnicoFlor", "Flor-Index" and "Our eco-design tool for fragrance formulas", with a colored rating scale from A to E.

TechnicoFlor announces the launch of FlorIndex 2.0, an enhanced tool for assessing the environmental and societal impact of fragrance formulas. This development responds to the industry's growing demand for sustainability and transparency.

TechnicoFlor has unveiled the new version of its tool for assessing the environmental and societal impact of fragrance formulas, entitled FlorIndex 2.0. Maxime Gransart, Assistant General Manager of TechnicoFlor, underlines the importance of this development: « Faced with brands that are increasingly committed to sustainability, as well as consumers who expect information and transparency in order to make informed choices, it was essential to adapt FlorIndex to meet these new requirements. ». This update takes place against a backdrop of increasingly pressing environmental issues.

A reinforced assessment tool

FlorIndex is the only tool validated by an independent third-party organization, AFNOR Certification. With over 1,500 attestations issued since its launch, this tool enables brands to certify the eco-design of their fragrances. Christophe Mangalte, TechnicoFlor's CSR and Quality Director, adds: « Conceived from the outset as a tool for continuous improvement, FlorIndex is based on a scientific and collaborative approach to eco-design. Faced with the vital need to mobilize the widest possible ecosystem in order to have a significant impact on environmental and societal issues, we have worked closely with our suppliers and collected over 70,000 items of data. ». This initiative has enabled 46 indicators to be quantified in the new version.

Greater efficiency and transparency

FlorIndex 2.0 is distinguished by the addition of eight new indicators covering key issues such as carbon footprint, biodiversity and toxicity. Climate is assessed by measuring the carbon footprint of formulas, while specific measures preserve endangered species. In terms of robustness, the tool is continually enriched with reliable data, reinforcing the comparability of results over time. A significant advance in transparency also enables customers to see the score obtained for each stage of the fragrance development cycle.

The Global ScenTrack methodology and ScenTrack tool, meanwhile, are capable of calculating the carbon footprint of a fragrance's entire formula.

Nubiance commits to inclusive dermo-cosmetics

site-industries-cosmetiques Four people stand side by side, each with a band of white cream on their cheek. They wear white tops and have neutral expressions, facing the camera against a light, plain background.

Nubiance, on the occasion of International Women's Rights Day, highlights the importance of developing skincare products adapted to dark and mixed-race skins, in order to achieve equitable representation in the dermo-cosmetics sector.

Nubiance, the first French dermo-cosmetic skincare brand dedicated to Nubian skins, highlights a crucial issue in the industry: the under-representation of dark and mixed-race skins. « My role is to transform complex science into simple, effective and meaningful products for the consumer. »says Arnita Wofford, the company's Managing Director.

A necessary scientific approach

Since its foundation in 2016, Nubiance has focused its development on better integrating skin diversity into its research and formulations. Indeed, the specific needs of women with melanin-rich skin have all too often been overlooked. With a wide range of products to treat complexion irregularities, imperfections and other skin concerns, Nubiance aims to set new standards in dermo-cosmetic care.

This commitment is reflected in the rigorously developed formulas, « promoting fairer access to healthcare »says Arnita Wofford. The products are developed and manufactured in France, making them an integral part of consumers' daily lives.

A commitment to inclusion

In a context where the promotion of women's rights must also include equal access to appropriate care, Nubiance affirms its commitment to representing and responding concretely to the needs of different skin phototypes. The repercussions of this maladjustment can be both dermatological and psychosocial, hence the importance of this initiative.
