The Pulp in Action consortium is committed to developing sustainable alternatives to plastic packaging in the cosmetics industry. Bringing together 50 key players, the initiative aims to meet today's environmental and societal demands.

The cosmetics industry is undergoing radical change, driven by the need for responsible innovation in the face of environmental challenges. The Pulp in Action consortium represents a collective response to the problem of plastic packaging in this sector. By bringing together 50 industry players, the aim is to design functional and sustainable alternatives to traditional packaging. « By joining forces, we have succeeded in convincing the players in the innovation field to come up with a credible project capable of transforming the industry. »says Clémence Mazeron, R&D Project Manager at Gascogne Flexible.

A collaborative model for a sustainable future

Formed under the Plastic Act of 2021, Pulp in Action comprises thirteen sponsors, including eleven brands, as well as various suppliers and start-ups. This ambitious regulatory framework aims to reduce plastic use by 15 %, promote 20 % of reuse and achieve 100 % of recyclability by 2030.

The consortium's strength lies in its «coopetition» methodology, enabling competing companies to pool their resources and know-how to tackle common issues, known as «pre-competitive». «« Everything had to be redesigned, even the packaging test protocols, originally designed for plastic, and this change is fundamental. »says Géraldine Poivert, co-founder of (RE)SET.

Significant advances

After three years' research, several prototypes have been developed and are already in the testing phase. These include cellulose pouches made from 70 % paper, capable of withstanding falls, and functionalized paper tubes without a plastic coating, designed to withstand humidity.

This work is progressing with a clear objective: to create packaging that appeals to the consumer while being environmentally friendly. « Consumers need to feel that change is good for them, not just for the planet. »notes David Guérin, Director Packaging Science Center at L'Oréal Groupe.

Over the past decade, the US beauty market has experienced sustained growth, reaching $124 billion. A new report from Kearney highlights the transformation of this sector in the face of new consumer expectations.

The American beauty market is changing its face. Presented as a «monster» for its competitiveness, it is a forerunner of strategic trends on a global scale. According to the first edition of the Prestige Beauty Consumer Index: the next frontier of US beauty, published by consulting firm Kearney, the market has now reached $124 billion, after a decade of continuous growth of 5 % per year.

Pressure on purchasing power and new consumer dynamics

Despite declining purchasing power, beauty remains a priority for American consumers, although they plan to cut back on non-essential spending. In a context of ’smart buying«, 46 % of consumers plan to preserve their health and beauty spending in particular, revealing a growing interest in quality offerings. Over 56 % of respondents say they have tried »dupes« that they consider equivalent to premium products.

Expectations in terms of efficiency and well-being

The report also highlights a profound change in the way beauty is conceived, moving away from the simple notion of cosmetics to present itself as a vehicle for care and well-being. The need to establish trust based on tangible results is all the more pronounced. Over 80 % of consumers say that scientific validation influences their purchasing choices, 39 % are interested in skincare products derived from clinical research, and 35 % in products from biotech laboratories.

Increased competition between distributors

Consumers judge retailers according to four main criteria: diversity of selections, shopping convenience, community feedback, and overall shopping experience. At the top of the list, Amazon is positioned as the channel of reference, dominated by its ability to offer great convenience as well as a wide selection of products. However, traditional players such as Sephora and Ulta are responding to this evolution by multiplying contact points and services, such as click-and-collect and same-day delivery.

" The next few years in the US beauty market promise to be critical for brands and retailers alike. The ability to build loyalty is increasingly fragile, requiring a stronger bond with the consumer. », warns Charles-Etienne Bost, partner at Kearney.

Aptar Beauty presents NeoDropper Autoload, a new-generation applicator designed to improve the precision and protection of cosmetic formulas.

Aptar Beauty unveils NeoDropper Autoload, an innovative solution for dropper packaging, incorporating an automatic filling system combined with a unique short applicator. This design meets the needs of prestige and dermocosmetic brands by optimizing the user experience in precision skincare.

Innovative NeoDropper Autoload features

NeoDropper Autoload's short applicator design improves hygiene and dosage control. The sealed bottle prevents spills and leaks, even in the event of accidental spillage. The dip tube inside the bottle allows the formula to be used down to the last drop, avoiding wastage. Caroline Aubert, Global Category Manager for Facial Care and Color Cosmetics, points out that « the innovative pipette design is unique. It provides greater precision while protecting the formula: a real differentiator for prestige brands. ".

Superior formula protection

NeoDropper Autoload offers a significantly higher level of protection against bacterial contamination, by avoiding direct contact between the formula and the applicator. Rigorous testing by an independent microbiology laboratory shows that this device reduces microbial contamination to levels four times lower than those of a traditional dropper.

Automatic refill and customization options

The “twist-and-push” dispensing mechanism allows the user to open the bottle with a simple twist, revealing the push-button, which automatically fills with the appropriate dose when opened. NeoDropper Autoload also offers several customization options for the collars and push-button, including metallization, silk-screening and lacquering. This system, combined with a glass bottle, is compatible with glass recycling channels, depending on local capacities.

This new applicator represents a breakthrough in the skincare sector, combining modernity with respect for consumer demands for precision, control and formula protection.
