Quadpack - La Colline

La Colline's first eco-friendly "youth protector" is part of the skincare brand's new Clar-Ology ritual. Its composition, certified as respectful of coral reefs, has been formulated " to illuminate, preserve and protect the skin's youth and vitality".

This "Metaprotector" comes in a refillable airless pack from international packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack, made from recyclable and recycled materials. Regula Airless Refill meets La Colline's requirements in terms of formula protection, recyclability and high-end design.

"Thanks to Quadpack, we were able to achieve our goal of combining eco-design and luxury packaging. With 100 % recyclable components, a majority of recycled materials and hot stamping that facilitates sorting at recycling stations, the Regula Airless Refill enabled us to avoid making any compromises. We were also charmed by the wide choice of customization options in terms of printing and materials."explains Samy Frois, Packaging Purchasing & Development Manager at La Colline.

Entirely metal-free, Quadpack's Regula Airless Refill packaging, designed to be refillable, is high-performance and luxurious. In line with La Colline's preference for local sourcing, it is manufactured and decorated in Quadpack's factories in Germany, which run on renewable energy. 

The solution proposed for Le Métaprotecteur contains 74 % of recycled materials (PCR). It comprises an outer bottle and cap in recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PCR PET). The interior is made of polypropylene (PP) for excellent compatibility, and is ideally suited to minimizing product volume.

Sophisticated decoration reflects La Colline's prestige identity. The outer bottle has been coated with a matte varnish, and the decoration has been applied by hot stamping and two passes of silk-screening (two colors). The adapter, hot-stamped in shiny silver, connects the bottle to the metal-free white pump. 

The hood, meanwhile, is adorned with a layer of silver using full-coverage hot stamping, a low-emission, solvent-free alternative to metallization that is more durable. Decorated samples were supplied at each stage of development to guarantee the desired appearance.

In terms of performance, airless technology helps guarantee product integrity by protecting the formula from air and external contaminants. What's more, each application benefits from uniform dosage, while the high restitution rate ensures waste-free use.

site-industries-cosmetiques Two hands intertwine on a plain white background. One is darker and the other lighter, adorned with a ring. Both feature perfectly manicured nails, perhaps painted with Fiabila nail polish for an exquisite finish.

Formulated with at least 50 % of water as the main solvent, water-based nail polishes offer the advantage of being odorless and non-flammable.

These water-based formulas, which are particularly well-suited to children - especially those that can be washed off with warm, soapy water - could appeal to other consumer categories (actors, comedians, women who are not used to wearing nail polish), who would appreciate their ephemeral use and ease of application and removal.

To extend the life of water-based nail polishes by two to five days, Fiabila offers two formulation options in addition to the warm-water wash-off option: peel off (lift off the film that has formed) or wipe off (use a regular nail polish remover).

Lastly, thanks to the affinity of its active ingredients with water, Fiabila has turned the color & care concept on its head, adopting a new approach to skin care. care infused color, which consists of high-performance, hyperactivated water-based nail polish formulas. Dedicated primarily to skincare, they can be colored, even soberly or naturally like nude.

This opens up new perspectives for brands, whether to highlight the year's highlights, or to meet previously unexplored expectations.

Gattefossé offers a new active ingredient derived from sea buckthorn

Gattefossé - (c)felix-audette_0053

French cosmetics ingredients manufacturer Gattefossé is stepping up the study of waste products to produce high-quality bioactives, and is offering two ingredients made from the untapped leaves of the sea buckthorn tree.

In Gattefossé's CSR roadmap, Gatt'Up&Act, responsible waste management, is a strategic issue.

"In addition to implementing a waste management system, we also integrate upcycling into our approach to innovation. Waste recovery is fully integrated from the earliest stages of development. This approach has intensified in recent years. A number of current projects use upcycling as a lever to create sustainable, responsible and efficient products, explains Laurent Schubnel, CSR Manager for the Gattefossé Group.

With this in mind, the company decided to exploit the full potential of sea buckthorn leaves (Hippophae rhamnoides), hitherto untapped. Two ingredients have emerged from this research: Eyeglorius, launched in 2024, and Noxifense, a new active ingredient.

A highly nutritious and versatile plant

Sea buckthorn boasts an abundance of phenolic acids, lipophilic compounds, vitamins and organic acids, giving the plant real biological potential.

The Gattefossé research team turned its attention to the leaves of this shrub. Work to secure the plant's supply led the company to Quebec, Canada, to a family orchard dedicated to growing it organically and processing its berries into food products. In September, when the fruit branches are cut off by hand, enabling the trees to be pruned, Gattefossé recovers the leaves once separated from the fruit, which are then transformed into juice, sorbet or jam.

One plant, two bioactives

Following the success of Eyeglorius - a liposoluble anti-fatigue active ingredient obtained by CO2 supercritical and launched in 2024 - Gattefossé announces the upcoming commercial launch of Noxifense. 

This new active ingredient provides a comprehensive approach to skin sensitivity, by reinforcing the skin's defense mechanisms against environmental stress. It is based on the emerging theory of "oxi-inflammation", the harmful interaction between oxidative stress and inflammation. Its soothing effects are achieved through a process that targets specific flavonoid families, renowned for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Noxifense is currently being previewed at the PCHI trade show in China, from February 19 to 21, 2025.

Ode to mother nature - Seppic

Seppic has chosen to draw inspiration from the cinema and the emotions it evokes to create new cosmetic formulations, notably for the In-cosmetics Global trade show to be held in Amsterdam from April 08 to 10, 2025. 

"The beauty box office movie hit", a collection of six inspiring formulations for skin care, hair care and nutricosmetics will be presented at the show, reminiscent of hit films and offering real sensory experiences.

As a preview, Seppic now presents the "Ode to mother Nature" formula. Inspired by the film Avatar, this thick, light-green care cream is nourishing and has a medium to long playtime. After massage, skin remains soft, comfortable and non-greasy.

This inspiring formula boasts a naturalness profile of 99.1%*. Used as an emulsifier, the organization of Montanov 202 amphiphilic molecules (Arachidyl behenyl alcohol, Arachidyl glucoside) into lamellar layers, known as liquid crystals, improves both the stability and skin compatibility of the formulation. As these lipids have a structure similar to that of the skin, Montanov 202-based emulsions offer biomimetic textures.

*In accordance with ISO 16128.
