Ciel d'Azur announces the launch of a refillable airless bottle that has the potential to reduce the use of plastic in the cosmetics sector. This innovation saves almost 10 tonnes of plastic every year.

Ciel d'Azur continues its commitment to responsible cosmetics with the introduction of a refillable airless bottle. This new packaging is designed to last, and offers the possibility of reducing plastic use by up to 90 % with each refill, representing an annual saving of almost 10 tons for the brand.

Multifunctional care
