Socoplan Arcade Beauty optimizes its storage for its 50th anniversary

Ranked among the first employers in its region, Arcade Beauty's French site Socoplan is celebrating its 50th anniversary under the best auspices. Its activity linked to cosmetic samples, in clear progression, is equipped with a new storage warehouse with an additional capacity of 400 m².
Based in Saint-Jean-de-Thouars, the Socoplan site manufactures, prints and packages skincare and make-up samples. Its production lines are dedicated to the group's own product types. Some of them, such as ScentSeal, BeautiSeal, LiquaTouch..., or the BeautiPod, are technologies from the United States. Their relocation in Europe allows Arcade Beauty to produce as close as possible to its markets. Socoplan guarantees a fully integrated production: printing and decoration, manufacturing, in-line filling, microbiological and quality control, delivery of finished products.

A story of bags

Created in 1970 by a pharmacist, Socoplan manufactures its first shower gel samples for the hotel industry. In the early 1980s, the site distinguished itself in various markets. In 1986, after refocusing on the cosmetics sector, Socoplan invented the concept of the press bag. Then the site extends its activity under the aegis of Bioplan, which merges in 2014 with Arcade Marketing to create the Arcade Beauty group. Its turnover is now about 50 million euros for 250 employees. 

50 years of maturity

For its 50th anniversary, Socoplan inaugurates a new 4000 m2 storage area directly connected to the factory. This relocation allows Socoplan to optimize its supply chain by a direct line with the production. A secure sampling area (overpressure, filtered air, etc.) now enables the integrated laboratory to test customers' bulks in real time, from receipt to batch release for delivery of finished products. This new configuration guarantees optimal safety of the manufactured products and reduces the carbon impact thanks to the elimination of inter-site transports that existed before.

Sepitone, a nutricosmetic active ingredient for a natural healthy glow

For over 10 years, Seppic has been offering natural solutions for nutraceuticals and oral beauty. With the launch of Sepitone, Seppic confirms its nutricosmetic expertise and offers a solution to achieve a natural healthy glow.

Consumers are increasingly interested in oral solutions for beautiful skin. In recent years, nutricosmetics has grown from a niche market to a full-fledged market of nearly $7 billion1.

Beautiful and healthy skin can be defined by different parameters, such as the uniformity and color of the complexion, as well as the smoothness of the skin. A diet rich in antioxidants can improve all three factors. Made without additives or preservatives, Sepitone is a natural ingredient, obtained from fermented wild blueberry extract, offering a unique richness in proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins exert a powerful protection against oxidative stress, whose beneficial effects on collagen, skin elasticity and blood circulation have been described in the scientific literature.

The effectiveness of Sepitone was demonstrated on a panel of 60 women with dull skin in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, during which beneficial effects were observed on: skin color, skin tone uniformity, skin roughness and harmonization of skin microcirculation2. 

Léa Marchal, Product Marketing Manager states: "This new active ingredient, launched at Vitafoods 2021 in Geneva, combines effectiveness and naturalness. It is an example of Seppic's expertise in nutricosmetics. Seppic's teams design ingredients driven by science and responding to consumers' search for naturalness."

From flowers to perfumes...and aromas: know-how and innovation

After the success of the first three editions since 2015 with an average of nearly 150 delegates, the congress "From flowers to fragrances" will innovate in 2021 by including aromas and its many similarities. Organized by the Innov'Alliance competitiveness cluster, it is positioned as the first congress on know-how, creativity and innovation in perfumery.

The central theme of this fourth edition will be the know-how linked to perfume and its indispensable innovations, necessary to maintain the highest level of emblematic technical capital.

The perfume and flavor industry will be discussed in all its transversality and applications, from the sustainable agriculture of the perfume plant and its transformation to the marketing of flavored and scented products.

Indeed, the recognition of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity by Unesco, of the know-how related to perfume in the Pays de Grasse - the cultivation of the perfume plant, the knowledge of natural raw materials and their transformation, the art of composing perfume - relies on continuous innovation and adaptation to industrial and regulatory changes.

This fourth edition "From flowers to fragrances ..... and flavors" thus proposes to take stock of the vast set of multidisciplinary skills mobilized in the elaboration of a fragrance composition and a food flavor. 

Experts and industrial leaders (Givaudan, Firmenich, IFF, Mane, Robertet...) and academic researchers will draw up a panorama of innovation, around this know-how from nature, soils, plant physiology and agricultural practices, extraction processes, to the creation and elaboration of perfuming compositions, food flavors by involving neurosciences.

The day will close with a debate during which the place of these emblematic skills in the perfumery of tomorrow will be discussed. Couldn't know-how be the guarantor of creativity to the detriment of the standardization of products and juices?

DSM and Albéa join forces to offer sun care products

The Dutch company Royal DSMa global scientific company, has announced a partnership with Albéa to offer sustainable packaging for its prototype solar formulas, and to realize its vision of a responsible product offering.

The move towards more sustainable beauty and skincare products is nothing new. But increasingly, consumers looking for planet-friendly options are extending this focus to include packaging too, looking to the packaging itself to make responsible choices. According to a recent Mintel study, 83 % of Malaysian adults would like to see more innovative sustainability ideas from major beauty brands, while more than half of German adults believe that eco-friendly packaging for care and beauty products does not contain plastic. In addition, growing consumer concerns about the safety and ease of use of packaging are fuelling demand for safe packaging. With the cosmetics industry producing over 120 billion units of packaging a year, the opportunity to make a positive impact on the planet through more sustainable packaging is enormous.

Two companies, one commitment to a sustainable value chain

The partnership between DSM and Albéa is a milestone and underlines both companies' commitment to sustainability. Thanks to this partnership, DSM can provide its customers with a complete sustainable sun care solution. As a first step, DSM plans to transfer most of its prototype suncare formulas into tubes, known to be the packaging format with the greatest sustainability impact, as well as safety and hygiene benefits. In addition to protection against microbial contamination, tubes also offer minimal product loss (compared to spray formulations, for example).

The Albéa tube used in DSM's formulation prototypes combines the 3Rs: recycled content, ready to recycle and reduced weight. Albéa's tube features a Slim cap with a lightweight, eco-designed look, combined with a lightweight structure derived from Thin-Wall technology for a reduced-weight solution. This tube, ready to be recycled in today's recycling flows, also incorporates a maximum level of post-consumer recycled content (PCR), the tube reaching 38 % of PCR (62 % excluding cap) for a D35, 50ml tube, thus contributing to the move towards a circular economy.

Every step counts

"Customers and consumers are looking for a commitment to sustainability throughout the value chain. To make our offering more sustainable, we need to work together and strive to introduce sustainable practices at every stage and in every area of our business, explains Gaelle Bathany, Global Director Sustainability DSM Personal Care and Aroma Ingredients. This requires us to think differently and take many small but thoughtful steps in the right direction, such as formalizing our partnership with Albéa. Albéa shares our broader commitment to encouraging sustainable practices in this sector by developing solutions and services that help customers minimize their environmental footprint."

Caroline Hughes, Marketing Manager at Albéa Tubes, adds: "We're rethinking packaging to make it circular, low environmental impact and safe. This radical change requires collaboration along the entire value chain, as illustrated by this partnership between DSM and Albéa. We are combining our expertise, innovation capabilities and social and environmental responsibility so that beauty and skincare brands can meet their own commitments to their stakeholders."

The Bormioli Luigi Group goes beyond the world of perfume and puts its historical expertise to work in the field of make-up and skincare innovations, preferably sustainable.
Bormioli Luigi takes advantage of its know-how in the tableware industry, especially in the high-tech press-and-blow process, to revive the tradition of glass make-up. In addition to a new generation of skincare jars, it innovates in semi-standard models of lipsticks, lipgloss and mascaras. Thanks to the partnership with plastic injectors such as the Italian company Pibiplast, the group presents a "full pack" offer whose complementary components aim at excellent make-up results. In addition to this care and make-up offer, Bormioli Luigi adds its expertise in the customization of glass shapes and finishing, including the application of specific decorations or UV protection.

A refillable lip case

This innovative model was designed to combine aesthetics and refillability. It is equipped with a plastic or metal attachment system. This allows the consumer to change the grape of her lipstick at the end of its life or to alternate the shade as she wishes while keeping her case.

Lipgloss, mascaras and others applications

Bormioli Luigi innovates through the complementary expertise of glass and plastic. This relevant association is reflected in the combination of the cap with the stem, the applicator and the wringer, and in the closing and sealing systems of the pack. The lipgloss model can be applied to other types of make-up or care products (concealer, illuminators, eyebrow treatment, eye make-up, etc.).
