The strategic alliance between Moroccanoil and Aptar Beauty for the new Treatment Mist offers a spray solution adapted to oily formulas, guaranteeing an optimized customer experience.
Moroccanoil has launched its new Treatment Mist, an ultra-light dry oil spray suitable for all hair types, with an ally of choice: the EuroMist Technical pump from Aptar Beauty. This collaboration aims to offer a high-end product while maintaining a seamless user experience, thanks to advanced spray technology.
Optimized for oil-based formulations, the EuroMist Technical pump boasts high compatibility and enhanced chemical resistance. It thus avoids common malfunctions such as leaks or swelling. Produced at Aptar's plant in Cary, Illinois, this equipment delivers a fine, precise spray with a dose of 150µl per pressure, offering a reliable solution for complex formulations.
This innovation is the result of a synergy between the technical teams at Moroccanoil and Aptar Beauty, as Earl Trout, Vice-President of North American Sales at Aptar Beauty, points out: " Oil-based formulas can be more complex to spray, and present risks of compatibility, leakage or pump clogging. The choice of pump is therefore crucial. The different nozzle options on the EuroMist platform have enabled us to meet the brand's requirements for consistency of range and supply. Our extensive product portfolio and know-how made all the difference in finding a solution perfectly suited to Moroccanoil's evolving offering. "
Aptar Beauty also focused on integrating aesthetic elements into the pump design, creating an exclusive champagne color and matte finish harmonious with Moroccanoil's brand image. The pumps are available in 100 ml and 25 ml formats, ensuring a consistent consumer experience. For discovery samples, Moroccanoil has opted for Aptar's Stilo mini-packaging, with a 5 ml amber bottle, adding a touch of elegance with a shiny black pump.
On the occasion of Luxe Pack Monaco 2025, Cosmogen confirms its innovation and growth dynamic with a range focused on precision, sensoriality and eco-design. From glass dropper tubes to stainless steel Tense Tube, packaging solutions meet the growing demands of skincare and make-up brands to offer a premium range.
" We should end up with sales of just over 26 million euros, with very strong growth. "says Priscille Caucé, CEO of Cosmogen. The company, which boasts a team of 35 people based in France, China, the United States and Brazil, develops both innovative standard solutions and specific packs for leading luxury brands. Its strength lies in product development led by an in-house department, coupled with reactive industrialization and a keen eye for technical trends.
Inspired by the codes of cosmetic surgery, Cosmogen is banking on the image of efficiency and precision in its new applicators. A clear strategic direction. " Anything that resembles cosmetic surgery has this side of expertise and results. "explains Maud Lelièvre, Marketing and Communications Director. The aim is to offer gestures that enhance the formula's performance, while building a differentiating visual signature on the shelves.
Key new features include the Needle Dropper's ultra-precise aluminum tip, thick glass bottle and dropper dosing system, designed for concentrated formulas in both skincare and make-up. " There's a real premium feel to this aluminum side with its precision application.. It will work very well "predicts Maud Lelièvre.
Presented in two finishes (frosted or transparent), it combines aesthetic appeal with functional performance. Brands can then choose the degree of personalization they prefer.
Already known in its zamak version, the Tense Tube is now offered with a removable stainless steel tip, guaranteeing enhanced compatibility with formulas, while ensuring recyclability and a long-lasting cooling effect. " Steel doesn't move and can be recycled too. This was not the case with zamak. "notes Maud Lelièvre.
This choice of material meets the market's growing expectations in terms of durability, without compromising on the user experience.
Cosmogen also enhances its ABL (aluminium barrier laminate) with a Dropper Tube version featuring a removable, recyclable aluminum applicator. It combines enhanced formula protection with high-end aesthetics. " This kind of product can make a real impact in terms of image. "says Maud Lelièvre. Aluminum, popular for its barrier effect and quality image, is used here in line with eco-design requirements.
The Smooth & Fresh launch introduces a bi-material applicator, combining an ultra-soft flocked surface with a cool metallic zone. Dedicated to hybrid textures (glosses, concealers, liquid blushes), it enables targeted, hands-free application and an even finish. " The flock will deposit the formula really well. There's a wringer to help you remember the right dose. "says the Cosmogen team. This patented product illustrates the "make-up care" approach that Cosmogen wishes to reinforce.
Cosmogen has renewed its range of accessories with new materials. The High Coverage Blender sponge, 100 % Rubicell, ensures reduced absorption, ergonomic application and a professional finish. The Duo Jelly Brush, with its double tip (silicone + brush), combines hygienic application with natural blending. The Bouncy Cushion Puff, available in a mini version, offers an optimized gesture thanks to its much-appreciated peach-skin feel.
Cosmogen pursues a structured approach, between compliance with regulatory constraints (PPWR, CSR, eco-design) and functional creativity. The innovations presented are all adaptable in coex, PCR, and dismountable or refillable components are designed according to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle principles. " It's our job to be able to adapt to brands and their demands "concludes Maud Lelièvre.
Luxe Pack Monaco 2025 marks a controlled turnaround for Cosmogen. By multiplying technical innovations in the service of expert application, the company is consolidating its position with brands seeking differentiation. With the rise of premium aluminum-based packaging and the emergence of sensorial accessories, the beauty gesture is becoming a strategic lever - at the crossroads of skincare, make-up and user experience.

Agrimer develops innovative solutions thanks to its patented NaDES Marine technology, which extracts active compounds from seaweed to care for the skin microbiome. Two active ingredients, SeaCalm and AlgaMoisturize, have been created to modulate the microbiome and moisturize the skin.
Agrimer recently showcased its patented NaDES Marine technology as part of a five-year academic research program. This technology, inspired by the intracellular liquids of algae, enables biomimetic extraction of active compounds while preserving their structure and improving their solubility and bioavailability.
An innovative research framework
The growing emphasis on the health of the skin microbiome and its effects on skin well-being has led Agrimer to develop targeted solutions. " The skin microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, plays a key role in pathogen protection and immune regulation. "explains a company spokesperson.
Thanks to NaDES Marine technology, Agrimer has created two patented active ingredients: SeaCalm and AlgaMoisturize. SeaCalm, derived from green algae Codium tomentosumis rich in hydrolyzed polysaccharides and acts as a prebiotic anti-redness agent, modulating the microbiota to soothe sensitive skin. AlgaMoisturize, obtained from brown seaweed Phyllacantha fibrosastimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidisto improve skin hydration and strengthen the cutaneous barrier.
Citatech has supported the development of these products with rigorous clinical testing, demonstrating proven efficacy in reducing redness and promoting long-lasting skin hydration.
Cosmetics users are increasingly turning to solutions that support the microbiome, a trend that these Agrimer innovations should absorb. " Our approach, which combines respect for the environment with scientific efficiency, offers a unique solution on the market. "emphasizes the researcher involved in the project.

TNT Grouprenowned for its expertise in the engineering and manufacture of metal packaging, has collaborated with Darphin to create haute couture packaging for the new Stimulskin Plus collection. The range features a cream and a serum, both presented in technically advanced refillable containers.
Each package consists of two zamak parts, invisibly joined together to guarantee a polished, homogeneous finish. The creation process required in-depth study of the layout of the structures to avoid defects during the injection and demolding of the zamak. A screw system holds the glass cream jar in place, while the serum bottle uses a bayonet system for easy replacement. Consistent golden tones have been maintained across the various elements for a harmonious visual effect.
TNT Group, with teams based in Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Shanghai, continues to distinguish itself by its ability to tackle complex technical challenges and deliver innovative solutions for the cosmetics, fragrance and make-up industries.

A ruling by the Strasbourg Administrative Court on June 16, 2025 has authorized the controlled use of micro-needling by beauticians, marking a significant step forward for the entire beauty industry. This decision comes after the Union des Professionnels de la Beauté et du Bien-être (UPB), affiliated to the Confédération Nationale de l'Esthétique Parfumerie (CNEP), challenged the ban on promoting these devices to professionals in the sector, previously considered to be for medical use only.
According to the arguments presented, the Direction Départementale de la Protection des Populations du Bas-Rhin claimed that these devices, using fine needles, constituted a medical act. However, the Court noted the absence of technical evidence proving penetration beyond the dermis or posing medical risks. Conversely, the manufacturer demonstrated that the devices are programmed not to exceed a specific depth of 0.15 millimeters, and are accompanied by mandatory training to ensure safe use. The use of these devices is prohibited on sensitive areas such as the eyelids, and no additives are used.
While this decision is welcomed by industry organizations for its recognition of the skills of aesthetic professionals, it opens the way to broader practices, provided they remain within the limits set by this ruling. It should be noted, however, that this decision may be subject to appeal, and only a ruling by the Conseil d'Etat could make it definitive. Furthermore, it does not grant universal approval to existing devices, but only to those meeting the specified safety criteria.
" The implementation of these devices must be accompanied by rigorous precautions "UPB and CNEP point out. They emphasize that the future of aesthetic practices lies in recognizing beauticians as qualified to use these minimally invasive techniques.
