COSMÉTIQUE 360 - Cosmetic Valley

 Cosmetic Valley is preparing two flagship events, the e-COSMETIC 360 trade show and the Etats généraux de la filière parfumerie-cosmétique, confirming its determination to pursue the changes already underway in the cosmetics industry, and to accelerate its collective adaptation to the changes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

e-COSMETIC 360: COSMETIC 360 in 4.0 format
October 12 and 13, 2020 (change of dates) 

COSMETIC 360, the international trade show for innovation in the perfume and cosmetics industry, has become e-COSMETIC 360, providing an agile response to the likely limitations of travel, and increasing access to innovation with all the advantages of digital technology.
This upstream choice of a new format promises to make digital a real support for the dynamics of international visitors, business flows and export support. At the same time, it maintains what has been the DNA of the show since its inception: a 360° innovation platform (all types of innovation for the entire industry), an unprecedented synergy between Innovation, Research and Business, a springboard for start-ups, and an indispensable crossroads for innovative project leaders from the 4 corners of the globe.
Exhibitors will be able to offer virtual showcases of their innovations, making their discovery more immersive. AI, webinars, chats, videos, e-totems, based on a rich and intuitive digital platform, will aim to stimulate and increase interaction between players located all over the world. 

 "The virtual dimension of e-COSMETIC 360 is designed to accelerate innovation and business. And perhaps it will be more so than ever! Companies, brands and innovation centers need to relaunch, share and collectively emulate. Digital is adapted to hyper-dynamic and agile, essential for this 2020 edition". stresses Franckie Béchereau, show manager. 

Start-ups and innovative project leaders will be able to raise their profile and e-meet the partners essential to their development. Major companies and brands will be able to connect their innovations, thanks to an open innovation service offering contact with international innovative project leaders.
This year's e-COSMETIC 360 will also see more exhibitors and visitors than ever before. "We will further accelerate our communication around cross innovation, between cosmetics and other key sectors such as technology, science, environment, agriculture, agri-food, health, logistics and services." adds Franckie Béchereau. 

The "Etats généraux" of the national perfume and cosmetics industry
October 14 and 15, 2020 

The "Etats généraux de la filière" will bring together the heads of French companies to strengthen their collective commitment. "It's clear that the crisis is accelerating change and will create ruptures. Our theme - New recovery, new growth - should send out a strong signal to accelerate the transformation of the cosmetics sector. And increase French value, in its raison d'être of caring for people and the environment, and meeting new needs for well-being and safety. says Christophe Masson, Managing Director of Cosmetic Valley.

Croda International - Product

 "Acts of Kindness" was launched last week, and Croda has made available up to £200,000 (almost 230,000 euros) to support communities near its production sites during the Covid-19 epidemic.
The first to benefit from this new initiative were the local communities around the company's manufacturing site in Campinas, Brazil. Here, in collaboration with the local Community Advisory Council, Croda delivered 110 meal and hygiene baskets over the course of the week to local residents who needed them most during the Covid-19 pandemic. Employees at the manufacturing site also worked with members of the local community to provide an additional 28 baskets as part of the initiative. The households benefiting from the baskets have either young children or elderly family members. The baskets are scheduled to last for a month, and Croda plans to repeat the initiative in May, June and July if the need arises again. 

 Marco Carmini, Croda's General Manager for Latin America, said: "We strongly believe in working with our local community to support them as best we can during the Covid-19 pandemic. We will continue to work with the Community Advisory Council we have created to find other ways to help through our 'Acts of Kindness' initiative. In particular, there are plans to support two local charities that we already help as part of our sustainable development program; a home for the elderly and an orphanage." 

Croda continues to support the Covid-19 pandemic in a number of other ways, including donating adjuvants to Covid-19 vaccine development projects around the world and sharing its scientific knowledge with vaccine researchers. The company has also donated excipients to projects working on experimental drugs for the virus. Supporting employees during the pandemic is a priority for the company, which recently assured all employees that there are currently no plans to reduce staff numbers or cut regular pay and benefits as a result of Covid-19. 

 Croda ingredients are used in thousands of finished products, including items such as disinfectants, medicines, medical equipment, medical protection products, masks and items used in the manufacture of Covid-19 screening tests.

After four weeks of total shutdown in order to preserve the safety of its employees, g.pivaudran, a French family-owned company and market leader in aluminum components for perfumery, cosmetics and spirits, reopened the Souillac sites on April 20, 2020.

During this period of closure, Marc Pivaudran, President of g.pivaudran, regularly communicated with his staff by sending out information notes. The health and safety of our employees was and remains a top priority for the management of g.pivaudran. This was one of the key conditions for the reopening of the plant.

A highly organized recovery

The resumption on April 20 involved 60 % of the workforce. "We had to adapt workstations and train managers in safety instructions, which we ensure are rigorously applied. Before deciding to open the sites, we all worked hard to obtain masks, gloves, gel and thermometers, to enable production, sales and administrative teams to work in optimal safety conditions, linked to this pandemic", explains Hervé Delaigue, g.pivaudran sales & development director.

A close relationship with customers

"We stayed close to our customers during the opening period, to explain our position and the overall evolution of our vision of the ever-changing load. Through these exchanges, we were able to keep a close eye on our customers' business and obtain valuable information on the priority references to be produced for the takeover. At the time, we were able to assess just how important it was to be on the leading references in this perfume, make-up and skincare market", emphasizes Hervé Delaigue.

Precise monitoring of your order book

At g.pivaudran, we'll need to keep a constant eye on the evolution of our order book. Vigilance is essential in the context of this business resumption. A precise and strategic business continuity plan has been put in place to deal with this situation. The company g.pivaudran has organized itself to react and meet the demands of its customers. From now on, it will be necessary to analyze and serve order books with their priorities. "We have an overview of our customers' order books (orders, deferrals, cancellations), which we try to make as accurate as possible for the next three weeks. We regularly review the situation and adjust the organization according to priorities," explains Hervé Delaigue.

"We've already had a few consultations with our customers about new launches. Others have postponed by a few months projects already signed and in development, but on the whole, we remain confident and highly motivated," concludes Marc Pivaudran.

 

The use of aluminum salts in antiperspirants is safe for health according to the Scientific Committee for Consumer Safety

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), an independent expert committee of the European Commission, has just issued its final opinion on the use of aluminum in cosmetic products: it considers the use of aluminum in antiperspirants, toothpastes and lipsticks, in the usual concentrations of marketed formulas, as safe.

Taking into account all routes of exposure (oral, dermal, respiratory) for these three types of combined products, the calculated margin of safety is always greater than 2,000. This means that the amount of aluminum to which the consumer is exposed is at least 2,000 times lower than the dose identified as causing no toxicological effects.

The SCCS considers that exposure to aluminum through the daily application of cosmetic products does not significantly increase the daily intake of aluminum.

This advisory complements and updates the previous 2014 advisory. It analyzes the latest scientific data including those obtained from three studies, two of which date back to 2020. These latest results show, among other things, that the aluminum contained in antiperspirant products is neither absorbed nor stored by the skin. In addition, all the latest evaluations and bibliographies carried out until 2017 by other scientific committees were reviewed and confirm that aluminum in cosmetic products does not play a role in breast cancer.

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety is an independent committee of the European Commission, composed of seventeen members who are experts in chemistry and toxicology and known for the rigor of their scientific analyses. 

For Anne Dux, Director of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs at FEBEA This study brings to an end more than ten years of anxiety-provoking controversies for consumers who use antiperspirants. The European opinion, which has just been issued after an extremely rigorous procedure, can completely reassure users of these products that are both safe and effective."

Roctool measures the benefits of its technology on new plastics

Packaging and labeling - Cosmetic industry

Over the last six months, Roctool has built up partnerships with brands and manufacturers alike, focusing on priority areas for optimization such as design and aesthetics (reduction of secondary operations, appearance defects, etc.). The elimination of paint adds an economic as well as an environmental argument, as does the use of recycled, bio-sourced and biodegradable resins. However, for Roctool, each of these justifies in-depth upstream tests, then specific tests for each development.

Successful tests on recycled PET and PP, but not the only ones.

To satisfy the dual priorities of brands, both aesthetic and environmental, Roctool concentrates its efforts on material testing and injection behavior.
Recent studies have focused on PCR PP, PCR ABS and PCR PET. These tests compare parts injected using traditional molding with Roctool technology. For example, PCR PET from bottle recycling lends itself to qualitative injection molding. With Roctool technology, the part has a surface appearance free of defects and weld lines. Its matte or satin finish enables optimum replication of the mold, and directly challenges equivalent finishes obtained by painting.

Roctool is also advancing in the evaluation of advantages for the production of thin-walled parts or for reducing molding pressures. For example, for certain PCR materials, injection with Roctool technology enables the part to be filled to 100 % at a temperature of 110°, compared with 30° with conventional technology and a filling of 70 %. To reach 100 %, conventional technology would require such high pressures as to make the manufacturing process difficult.
The bio-degradable and bio-sourced resins currently under study promise convincing results in terms of both surface quality and stability.

As each material has different characteristics, Roctool intends to continue its in-depth work to quantify the maximum number of eco-responsible materials available on the market, and to put its know-how at the service of major brands and their suppliers.

Industry: a perfumer makes production and cleaning of its facilities more reliable with a new hose

Aflex Hose's Bioflex Ultra PTFE hose technology selected in a luxury perfumer's production workshop

Aflex Hose, the world's leading manufacturer of coated PTFE flexible tubing, equips a fluid transfer line at one of the world's leading manufacturers of coated PTFE tubing. perfumer in France. Aflex's technology was chosen because it was the only one that fully met the needs of the application.

The production site, which has been using Aflex Bioflex Ultra since 2018, has specialized since 2004 in the manufacture and packaging of fragrances with or without alcohol, but also cosmetics such as milks for the body lotions or make-up remover. The plant does not use CIP cleaning, so the fluid transfer hoses had to withstand passages of 95° alcohol and steam. The working pressure is 7 bar. The existing silicone hoses, from a competitor's manufacturer, posed resistance problems: they oozed, leaked and the internal parts degraded due to the sterilization cleaning process (SIP). This is why the perfumer wanted to change supplier. ATEX and FDA certifications were required.
Aflex Hose, from Watson Marlow Fluid Technology Group, has proposed the Bioflex Ultra PTFE hose for biotech and pharmaceutical fluid transfer applications. Featuring a smooth PTFE inner body for resistance-free flow and easy cleaning, Bioflex Ultra was chosen for its excellent resistance to chemicals over a wide range of operating temperatures, and for its great flexibility in achieving minimal bending radii. Equipped with PTFE-coated Tri-Clamp sanitary fittings, Bioflex Ultra is ATEX and FDA certified, which was not the case for the competing products on the market. The perfumer was already familiar with the quality of Watson Marlow Fluid Technology Group's equipment, since the site was already using CERTA 250 and 701 pumps with BioPure Q-clamp fittings for other applications.

A conclusive one-month trial was carried out with mascaraincluding daily cleaning. The chosen solution proved to be effective and fully in line with the application's requirements.

Patented PTFE design

Aflex Hose's PTFE hoses are the result of a combination of expert engineering and materials knowledge, and the manufacturer is recognized as a pioneer in this field. Thanks to its patented PTFE inner body, Bioflex Ultra boasts excellent chemical and steam resistance, thus eliminating the resistance problems posed by competing hoses. Studies have shown that PTFE outperforms rubber, silicone and PVC in similar applications.
In the model chosen by the perfumer, the Bioflex Ultra is configured GP AS SS RC with PTFE-lined Tri-Clamp fittings, the PTFE inner lining is enriched with 2.5 % carbon, providing antistatic properties. Watson Marlow had pointed out that some of the products used (e.g. cream for the face) and their cleaning process exposed them to the risk of static discharge and hose failure.

Bioflex Ultra's patented PTFE inner-body design allows it to expand on the outside and compress on the inside of an elbow. This maintains a smooth, circular internal geometry throughout the pipe, without deformation. Its PTFE-lined sanitary Tri-Clamp fitting is a unique design that behaves like a seal, with no flow restrictions or retention zones, eliminating the risk of contamination since only PTFE comes into contact with process fluids.
The structure features a smooth inner lining to ensure cleanliness, performance and resistance to high pressures and temperatures from -73°C to 260°C. Cleaning capacity and steam resistance guarantee compliance with the most stringent hygiene standards.
The PTFE inner lining is reinforced with a helical coil and a braid, both in 316 stainless steel, followed by a blue EPDM outer lining, marked to EN16643 and benefiting from several approvals. The hoses are manufactured without the use of adhesives between the various layers, eliminating any possibility of contamination. This structure gives the hose a high degree of flexibility and resistance to torsion, reducing bending and eliminating cracks.
The hoses supplied are 10 m long, with a nominal inside diameter of 19 mm, and a test resistance of 16 bar (tested at 32 bar). The perfumer selected Aflex's Bioflex Ultra technology for its unique advantages, certifications, reduced bending radius and 2-year warranty.
