Seppic presents new results on Sepibliss, a natural herbal oral solution for sensitive skin.
Sensitive skin is a worldwide concern that affects over 50 % of the global population. This condition is constantly increasing due to various factors such as pollution, poor cosmetic habits, emotional stress or poor diet. The demand for new, innovative and effective solutions is therefore increasing. Seppic today unveils new studies on Sepibliss, an innovative natural solution for sensitive skin.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, Sepibliss was found to have protective effects against the major reactions to which sensitive skin is prone. The study was conducted on women with sensitive and reactive skin and Sepibliss was found to be effective after only one month of treatment.
These results support the recently published in vitro study which proves the soothing action of Sepibliss on the main markers involved in the inflammatory process and the nociception response (sensory process at the origin of the nervous message causing unpleasant sensations such as itching).
Formulated for dietary supplements, Sepibliss is a natural ingredient - a 100% virgin oil from coriander seeds - obtained by eco-extraction and free of additives and preservatives. Sourced and produced in the South West of France, this fully traceable ingredient is in line with Seppic's strategy to offer natural and ecological products to its customers.

Hygiene - Beauty - Aesthetics: The Febea asks that local shops remain open

Following statements by the President of the Republic, the FEBEA regrets that sales outlets such as perfumeries, parapharmacies, hairdressing salons and beauty salons have not been designated among the businesses that may remain open. The FEBEA has informed the government of its wish that these outlets should be able to remain open from now on, and throughout the period of confinement.
As FEBEA president Patrick O'Quin explains: "Most of these businesses are very small enterprises, which have already been considerably weakened by the initial containment.

According to a study by Asterès, forecasts were already gloomy for these businesses, with an estimated 25% drop in sales for the year as a whole.
Following the announcement of the new containment, Patrick O'Quin said: "Keeping these local shops open is a condition of survival, especially as they have made considerable efforts to welcome their customers in perfect health safety conditions".

The FEBEA points out that the run-up to the festive season is essential for these stores: perfume shops, for example, generate a decisive share of their sales in November and December.

What's more, they are important outlets for social interaction: "Hairdressing salons are often the last shops in small towns," says Patrick O'Quin. "Wellness is an essential element of health, as defined by the World Health Organization. In fact, it became clear during the initial confinement that our compatriots were severely lacking in social ties. The result was a 3-fold increase in disorders linked to depression, anxiety and addiction.

ozmi, the first complete, easy-to-use digital platform for cosmetics creation, is now available to beauty and skincare professionals.
The first platform launched by German start-up Chemster GmbH, ozmi is a digital ecosystem of integrated services open to all players in the cosmetics industry, designed to reduce the difficulties involved in creating new cosmetic products, while offering brands and suppliers an intuitive user experience.

"ozmi aims to offer innovative brands and solution providers an indispensable tool that enables them to create cosmetic products faster and easier," says Udo Eberlein, CEO of Chemster. He adds: "ozmi takes the complexity out of the creation process, and is a truly trusted partner throughout the value chain."

"The beauty and personal care sector is a fragmented industry where information is often unclear or unavailable," he explains. Consumer behavior and demands have transformed product cycles. Today, the consumerization of business also affects the field of cosmetics creation. Industry players expect a technology application for professional use to be as easy and convenient to use as those used in everyday life. With ozmi's transparent approach and user-friendly navigation, we are meeting this demand.

On ozmi, users can find ingredients, formulations and packagingfor cosmetic products, establish partnerships with suppliers, manage projects and receive advice so they don't run into unforeseen difficulties in the design process. And in order to ensure that users' data remains secure and under their exclusive control, ozmi fully complies with European legislation, particularly those relating to RGPD.

Features available today :

Simplified search for formulations, ingredients, suppliers and packaging, with filters and detailed results.
Collaboration between users: easier contact during the tendering process, basic materials and services at every stage of the project.
Project management tools that provide advice from briefing to formula creation.

ozmi's functionality will continue to evolve. According to Udo Eberlein, the platform will take the next step by offering additional functionalities based on user demand: "We're constantly working to make ozmi even more user-friendly. Companies achieve better results when they pool all their projects with their partners on ozmi. This considerably reduces their time-to-market and increases their competitiveness," he concludes.

The international roll-out of ozmi will be gradual, starting with Europe.

On October 8, the Fragrance Foundation presented its awards to French perfumers. Among them, Ganymède by couturier Marc-Antoine Barrois and Parfums Bastille, both developed with Coverpla.
Each year, the Fragrance Foundation entrusts a jury of professionals with a selection of fragrances chosen according to various criteria: design, launch, innovation, commitment... The Awards presented during a virtual ceremony pay tribute to the entire fragrance industry, from juice to packaging.

100 % Coverpla packaging

In the "independent niche brands" category, Ganymède fragrance is the fruit of a partnership between fashion designer Marc-Antoine Barrois and perfumer Quentin Bisch. Coverpla was responsible for its development from A to Z. As for the fragrance, we quote "an intoxicatingly sober scent in the image of the couturier's dreamlike universe".
In terms of packaging, the brand chose a bottle, cap and pump cover from the Coverpla collection, combined with an invisible pump from Silgan. Assembly and decoration are carried out in the Coverpla workshops in Nice.

Coverpla supports responsible innovation

Hors-piste, Un deux, trois, soleil, Demain promis, Pleine lune, Bataille - these are the signature fragrances that Bastille Paris defines as "natural perfumes for a free spirit". They were awarded the prize for "responsible innovation for a perfume". In line with the ISO 9235 standard, 95% of these juices are made from natural ingredients, a real challenge for perfumers!
The 100 % packaging, made in France, features a recycled cardboard case, and the bottle includes only the plastic required for the pump and cap insert. For its part, Coverpla supplied the Laura bottle from its collection, in a 50ml format. The brand chose it for its thin glass base, which avoids excess material. The catalog includes over 150 references, all designed by Coverpla and produced by partner glassmakers. The Passion cap, also from the catalog, is a further addition to the range.

Gaiia : the organic & vegan solid toothpaste

According to Gaiia, soap has been used for brushing teeth for over 165 years. The toothpaste tube was introduced in the 1890s and contained soap. Soap was removed from the formulas in 1946 and was replaced by other ingredients such as Sodium lauryl sulfate or the Sodium laureth sulfate.

The manufacturer refuses synthetic detergents such as SLS, SLMI and SCI... and launches an organic solid toothpaste based on cold saponified soap. Enriched with charcoal, licorice and essential oil of mint, it helps maintain healthy teeth and gums, while refreshing breath.
Vegan, refillable, both ecological and economical (4 to 5 months of use), this black ingot is confusing at first use, but finally fulfills the mission it is given.

In the brushing of the teeth with this solid toothpaste, the strangest is the implementation... The manufacturer specifies that it needs very little material to be effective. So much the better, because in any case, it would be difficult to take a lot on the bristles of the toothbrush! It is necessary to wet the head of the brush and to rub against the ingot. A light transfer of matter takes place delicately. The brushing can then be done normally. However, as the brush is in direct contact with the teeth and gums, without any paste or cream or gel to buffer it, they are certainly more sensitive. But nothing prohibitive. This solid toothpaste will convince the fans of anyhdres products, the consumers who are looking for vegan solutions and the travelers who don't want to bother with the security controls concerning liquids...

Croda is proud to announce its collaborative partnership with Entekno Materials, initiating a sea change in sun protection. With a £1.5 million investment in Entekno Materials, Croda becomes a minority shareholder as well as the company's exclusive route to the cosmetic market. They will also become an R&D partner, focused on innovating and bringing to market unique, natural and safe inorganic sunscreens.

Entekno Materials is an innovative Turkish company focused on the development of a "new generation of particle technology". "We combine scientific excellence with creativity, honesty and integrity. In addition we foster a strong sense of responsibility and faith in a better future," says Professor Ender Suvaci, founder and CTO of Entekno Materials. "We are thrilled to be partnering with Croda, together we will create significant change in the field of solar protection, today and tomorrow."

The first phase of the partnership is to offer the Solaveil TM MicNo® line of mineral sunscreens. Croda will launch these on the market in the coming months. This range offers exceptional performance and benefits of high protection and transparency, attributed to the unique structure of the ZnO micro-platelets. The range consists of coated and uncoated powders and dispersions, some of which are COSMOS validated.

Driven by its purpose of using "Science Intelligently to Improve Life," Croda is addressing some of the greatest challenges facing the world today and is committed to making a positive impact on "climate, earth and people" by 2030. Croda's purpose is perfectly aligned with Entekno's ethics. Both companies recognize the synergies that their partnership offers to such an important sector of the cosmetics industry.

One of Croda's key goals in its "Population Positive" commitment is to protect via its UV protection ingredients at least 60 million people a year from potential skin cancer. "The use of 'Science Smart,' an ongoing commitment to innovation and collaborative partnerships, such as this one, are key to achieving this goal," said Jennifer Hart, global general manager of Croda's Beauty Effects business. "We are excited about the future of sunscreen and the innovative solutions that Croda and Entekno Materials will bring together."
