A committed and natural cosmetic

Cosmetic industry - Somatoline

capture742- Formulation - Product InfoClaire Laborde, creator of the brand À la claire fontaine, offers more than just a range of products. With a degree in industrial cosmetology, Claire Laborde first worked as a formulator and then as a cosmetics R&D manager. After two years of R&D for her, Claire Laborde decided to create her own brand. The À la claire fontaine adventure began in 2013. The opportunity to convey the founding values of the brand. Refillable skincare products. Zero waste. Made in France and promoting the French flower. Inside the packaging that reduces the plastic footprint, the ingredients are of natural origin for at least 98 %.

Sensoriality is not left out. For example, a duo facial mask and exfoliant (Joli minois) takes us to the orchards of Isère and Vaucluse. This treatment is made of apple water and you can feel it! The exfoliation is obtained with almond shell powder. Sunflower oil, salt and glycerin complete the formula with a naturalness rate of 99.5 %.

In order to reduce its ecological footprint, the brand has opted for refillable bottles. Customers can buy their refills in the form of cartons and participate in the preservation of resources...

As for distribution, the brand has also made a conscious choice. Short circuit or nothing! Home sales are favored and the online store allows for easy restocking. The saleswomen, called ambassadors, go out to meet customers and take the time to tell them what is hidden in the bottles...

" Our wish is to offer a range of cosmetics in our image, simple and natural, bringing pleasure and well-beingsays Claire Laborde. We wanted the range to be designed to limit its environmental impact. "With only 12 products and solidly anchored values, a la claire fontaine tries to never be forgotten.

The Evoclassic by Aptar pump on Neopac tube adopted by Uriage

Uriage Age Protect Multi Action Cream SPF30 40 ml - Uriage

Aptar Beauty + Home, the world leader in distribution systems for the cosmetics industry, is now offering an innovative solution to protect the most delicate formulas in a practical and lightweight packaging. Age Protect Instant Multi-correction Filler-Care is the first Uriage skin care product to benefit from a skin care pump on tube, developed by Aptar in partnership with Neopac.
This mobile packaging, very popular with consumers, preserves the formula and ensures ultra-precise dosage.

An ultra precise airless skincare solution

The Evoclassic by Aptar pump combined with the Neopac tube offers Uriage an airless packaging solution with multiple benefits: a considerably easier dosage compared to a classic tube, a protection of the formula against external agents thus limiting the number of preservatives present in the composition of the care product and a barrier against drying or oxidation of the formula, thus preserving its effectiveness.
The result is a practical, clean and hygienic product that works 360°, regardless of its position. Ideal for touch-ups throughout the day without denaturing the formula and without any mess.

A high performance tube 

Its "Polyfoil" tube, developed by the tube maker NEOPAC, contains an aluminum layer that also protects the formula from light, air, water vapor and substance migration.
It also has a non-stick inner layer that makes it easy to remove the last remaining product without leaving any in the tube.

Sephora collaborates with Cosmogen to develop its Rose Brush Set

Sephora - SEPHORA COLLECTION

The set includes the essential brushes for complete face and eye make-up: powder brush, foundation brush, concealer brush, shadow brush and blending brush. The tufts of soft synthetic bristles, infused with rose powder, adapt to all types of formula. They are mounted without a ferrule - so no aluminum is used - on varnished beechwood handles with soft, rounded shapes. The hot-stamped logo delicately marks each piece.

The Rose Set Brush by Sephora is presented in an elegant 3-color box, with PET window and floral motif inside. A cardboard drawer, also featuring flowers and a ribbon on its top, holds a pink-printed cardboard brush holder.

Arcade Beauty offers a range of 100 % secure test products

Cosmetic industry - Product

In view of the new constraints imposed by the health crisis, point-of-sale testing of make-up and perfume products must be reviewed to guarantee maximum consumer protection. The Arcade Beauty group has reconsidered its entire offer in this direction, with record timing and almost exclusively French manufacturing.
At a time when beauty outlets are being reorganized to offer maximum consumer protection, the entire sales relationship is being rethought. The role of the sales advisor is becoming more important, and therefore takes on its full meaning in the customer journey, from product testing to the act of purchase. Over the past few weeks, Arcade Beauty has been reflecting on these new issues facing brands and retailers alike. The group has reconsidered its entire make-up and perfume offer to adapt it to this new constraint and propose new solutions: from the test dose board to be detached by the sales consultant to the unit dose on display.
Here are a few examples of our rapid development and, for most of our products, French manufacturing using materials that are ready to be recycled.

 

TechnicoFlor signs the perfume of the new Very Rose make-up remover range by Nuxe

perfume - Cosmetics industry

The TechnicoFlor Group supplies some of the biggest names in perfumery, cosmetics and hygiene, and its fragrances are used in numerous applications around the world: eau de toilettes, body and face care, shower gels, shampoos, hydro-alcoholic gels...Its French know-how, natural raw materials and environmental commitment have won over many brands.
Today, TechnicoFlor announces the creation of the fragrance for Nuxe's new Very Rose range of cleansers and make-up removers.

Fragrance plays a major role in the composition of creams and cosmetics, contributing to the sensorial power of a range, rather like Proust's famous madeleine. Nuxe is one of the brands that have understood this. It has recently entrusted TechnicoFlor with the fragrance of its new Very Rose range of cleansers and make-up removers, with Group perfumer Irène Farmachidi responsible for the olfactory creation.

Rose, the emblematic material of perfumery, embodies femininity, sensuality and softness.
"I created the fragrance of a pure, natural rose, fresh and bursting with water. I dressed it up with vegetal notes and the softness of white musks. And I livened it up with a few woody notes," she explains.

Irène Farmachidi, already behind several Nuxe creations (including the AquaBella range and Huile prodigieuse® Florale), draws inspiration from nature for her fragrances, while adapting her olfactory signature to the identity of the brand for which she creates.
The raw materials it uses combine naturalness, sophistication and originality. The new Very Rose range from Nuxe combines the soothing virtues of rose floral water with a Skin-Respect Complex, vegan, 100% of plant origin to gently free the skin of everyday impurities while respecting its balance.
It includes 8 products: Eau Micellaire Hydratante, Eau Micellaire Apaisante, Gel-Masque Nettoyant Ultra-fresh, Mousse Aérienne Nettoyante, Lait Démaquillant Onctueux, Brume Tonique Fraîche, Lotion Peeling Éclat, Huile Délicate Démaquillante.

The Verpack group, a player in luxury packaging, is writing a new page in its history with Crédit Mutuel Equity

Packaging and labelling - Packaging

A supplier to luxury brands, the family-owned Verpack group, founded by Jean-Claude Viers in Paris in 1993, is completing a managerial and shareholder transition initiated four years ago. Stéphane Viers takes over the presidency of the group and the majority of voting rights in the holding company created for the occasion. Crédit Mutuel Equity becomes the reference minority shareholder with 25% of the capital, alongside the company's key managers. This LBO, advised by Pax Corporate Finance, will enable Verpack to boost its growth by pursuing its strategy of external growth. Verpack generated sales of over €42 million in 2019 and employs 450 people.

 One of France's leading manufacturers of high-end cardboard boxes and cases, Verpack serves the most prestigious customers in the cosmetics, perfume, leather goods, spirits and luxury goods industries. With four production sites in France and one in Tunisia, the company boasts substantial printing and finishing resources, while positioning itself on major issues of social and environmental responsibility, to support its customers in implementing more virtuous packaging solutions. This approach is part of an underlying trend that has seen many customers relocate their production to the Group's plants in recent years, benefiting from innovations and unrivalled levels of service and responsiveness.
This operation marks a new era for our group, one of dynamic growth. It's a time for us to pool our expertise and resources in the service of French manufacturing, a welcome development for our customers. In this, ethics, quality, safety and, of course, the environment will be key values more than ever. "explains Stéphane Viers.

 Towards a new positioning

With the entry of Crédit Mutuel Equity, this transaction, advised by Pax Corporate Finance, aims to support the group's growth, its European expansion and future acquisitions. Verpack has built up its business mainly through successive acquisitions, with the purchase of Cartonnages Guillaume (Ile de France) in 2000, CLP Packaging (Burgundy) from the American group Chesapeake in 2006, and Korus Packaging (Bordeaux) in 2013. With the support of its new shareholder, the company intends to keep up the momentum. This operation also completes the move initiated by the group four years ago, to create a common brand and lead its various plants to standardize their processes.

The deal is supported by a moderate level of debt, mainly provided by the historic banks, notably BNP Paribas and Caisse d'Épargne Ile-de-France, co-arrangers, as well as Crédit du Nord and Société Générale. The financing includes a specific line designed to ensure reactivity in terms of acquisitions.

"Proud to accompany this leading player in premium packaging in its managerial transition to support its development, we were seduced by its fine French industrial facilities, the relevance of its business model, and its constant capacity to innovate in the service of a portfolio of prestigious customers, while being a forerunner in CSR issues. The group's critical size and strong market position make it ideally positioned for the external growth operations we are keen to support.add Jean-Marie Giannettini and Jean-Baptiste Champeau, Investment Directors at Crédit Mutuel Equity.

 

Cosmetic Valley is preparing two flagship events

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 celebrates the positive effects of its "Acts of Kindness" initiative

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.
