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.

Inventra, the new sleeve label featuring RFID technology, was presented by Sleever and Avery Dennison. This solution is designed to meet the growing challenges of the beauty sector, while guaranteeing product protection and regulatory compliance.

Faced with changing distribution models and increasing regulatory requirements, Sleever and Avery Dennison announce the launch of Inventra. This intelligent product, which integrates RFID technology into the heat-shrink sleeve label, has been developed to support future transformations in the beauty sector. « Packaging is set to become a strategic vector for data, traceability and performance, without compromising brand aesthetics. »says the team.

Anticipating the needs of a changing industry

In the world of make-up, the multiplication of references, the precise management of shades and seasonal collections, as well as sensitivity to theft and counterfeiting, pose new challenges. Currently, the industry loses around 10 % of inventory annually, a phenomenon that includes 6.2 % from overproduction and 4 % from spoilage losses. RFID technology, already widely used in other retail sectors such as textiles, enables reliable unit identification, thus improving stock availability and management, representing significant optimization potential for the cosmetics market.

The sleeve label as an entry point for packaging intelligence

Inventra distinguishes itself by integrating RFID technology directly into the core of the sleeve label, preserving the visual impact of the design while protecting the RFID component from manipulation. This innovation also guarantees improved product traceability. « Inventra offers industry a solution that guarantees 99 % inventory accuracy without compromising product aesthetics. »explains Maryna Grytsenko-Nénon, beauty sector expert at Avery Dennison.

This smart label is designed to meet future requirements in terms of traceability, transparency and circularity, while fitting in with the Digital Product Passport. It aims to facilitate the digital identification of products, helping companies to comply with current regulations and combat counterfeiting.

Structuring collaboration within the industry

The collaboration between Avery Dennison and Sleever, supported by AB Agency, is part of a development strategy that promotes the integration of technologies adapted to the specific needs of the beauty industry. Philippe Morel, European Sales and Marketing Director at Sleever, expresses his satisfaction at this partnership: « This product opens up new horizons and provides functionalities in terms of inventory management and consumer experience, while benefiting from the recognized advantages of sleeve technology. "

Maison Ipekyol, renowned for its contemporary, responsible approach to ready-to-wear, announces the launch of a new fragrance line with the support of Coverpla.

As part of the expansion of its product range, Maison Ipekyol has joined forces with Coverpla to develop its Eaux de Parfum. This collaboration stands out for its ability to meet the specific needs of the Turkish brand, which values not only aesthetics but also respect for the environment. Maison Ipekyol positions itself as a lifestyle creator for the modern woman.

Innovative bottle design

For its Eaux de Parfum, Ipekyol has developed three models of 100 ml bottles, each designed in wood and surlyn. The first model, Firenze, has a rounded shape reminiscent of a champagne glass, and is complemented by a wooden Azero cap with a polypropylene insert. The choice of black for this model adds a touch of sophistication, in harmony with the label and ribbon.

The Gala bottle, a popular choice in the Coverpla catalog, is offered with a crimp ring version. Its vintage wood cap, in a wenge hue, accentuates this sobriety. The silkscreen decorations add a handcrafted dimension to the product.

Finally, the Kubos model, with its low-slung silhouette, is paired with the Tendance hood, overmolded in surlyn, treated to a black finish and adorned with the hot-stamped logo. This choice underlines Ipekyol's commitment to a refined, responsible aesthetic.

Responding to market challenges

The collaboration between Coverpla and Maison Ipekyol quickly bore fruit. Since the launch of the new line, the growing popularity of the fragrances has put significant pressure on the supply chain. Coverpla met this challenge by ensuring efficient order renewal.

Gamze Şahin, Cosmetic Product Development and Sourcing Manager at Ipekyol Group, underlines the importance of this partnership: « We are delighted with this collaboration with Coverpla. Although this is a new product category, the process was carried out with exceptional precision and expertise, with a consistently solution-oriented approach from start to finish. "

Nuon Medical presents its new microneedling applications at Paris Packaging Week, with devices dedicated to skin and hair.

Nuon Medical announced the development of new microneedling products, a technique previously focused on aesthetic medicine, during Paris Packaging Week. This LED light specialist, which has made a name for itself in this field, is now exploring innovative applications for skin and hair care. This approach is demonstrated by the presentation of two devices, one for skin care and the other for hair health.

The microneedling technique

The microneedling method is based on the use of a device that creates microperforations in the skin using small needles. These controlled “lesions” generate a natural skin repair process, stimulating collagen and elastin production by activating fibroblasts. Beneficial effects include improved microcirculation and cell renewal, which contribute to smoother, younger-looking skin. By increasing skin permeability, these microperforations also enhance the penetration of active ingredients such as creams and serums.

A 3-in-1 solution

Nuon Medical presents a small, easy-to-handle device combining microneedling, LED light and hot-cold functions. LED light stimulates blood circulation and soothes the epidermis, while promoting cellular activity and the production of collagen and elastin, essential for skin regeneration. Thermal therapies also act on tissues, firming skin and tightening pores. The result is an immediate radiance boost, thanks to time-honored skincare techniques.

Restore healthy hair

Hair health is becoming a priority in the beauty world, affecting both men and women. Hair regrowth concerns around one in two men and one in four women. This device uses microneedling, combined with red light therapy and EMS microstimulation, to improve scalp health. The PLA microneedle patch provides targeted care and enhances ingredient absorption, while EMS technology stimulates hair follicles by increasing blood flow, delivering a supply of oxygen and nutrients necessary for hair growth.

This integrated approach to hair care, backed by scientific data, shows increased efficacy with regular use, particularly when combined with red light therapy. Today's advances in microneedling open up new perspectives in aesthetic skin and hair care.
