Act Beauty launches a new range of refillable sprayers, designed to meet the growing needs of on-the-go beauty. These devices combine durability and functionality adapted to contemporary lifestyles.

Act Beauty has developed a range of vaporizers in response to the new uses of on-the-go beauty. These compact, refillable formats are designed for easy refilling at home or at the point of sale, blending discreetly into everyday life while providing a durable, functional solution. The degree of personalization enables these sprayers to be transformed into veritable jewelry objects, thanks in particular to the addition of chains, buckles or tassels.

Technical design and materials

The design of the vaporizers is based on a balance between the choice of materials - metal and glass - technical precision, resistance to repeated use and perceived quality. Filling devices guarantee simple, clean and safe use, essential conditions for effective reuse. A multi-refill principle is envisaged to offer greater versatility of use over time.

Environmental impact and social responsibility

Their long-term use contributes to limiting the production of new containers and reducing associated material consumption. Suitable for a variety of liquids such as perfumes and cosmetic mists, Act Beauty's vaporizers can be adapted to a variety of contexts, including travel and loyalty schemes.

The company's developments are part of a socially responsible approach, recognized by the EcoVadis Platinum evaluation (99/100). This requirement is also supported by the “bien faire” solution, which provides access to clear, verifiable traceability of textile products thanks to an integrated QR code.

Gattefossé was awarded the Trophée Environnement at the regional Responsible Care Awards for its Poseidon initiative, which integrates water management throughout the life cycle of its products.

Gattefossé's Poséidon project was honored at the regional Responsible Care Awards for its integrated approach to water management. « The award recognizes Gattefossé's commitment to preserving water, an essential resource at the heart of the Group's industrial and social responsibilities. The Poséidon project is fully in line with Gatt'Up&Act's CSR approach, and addresses a number of priority environmental issues »says Laurent Schubnel, CSR Manager for the Gattefossé Group.

A three-pronged approach

The project aims to integrate water management into all stages of the product life cycle, from design to end-of-life. Water, mainly used for cleaning equipment, is a key lever for environmental and operational performance. The three fundamental axes of the approach include :

  • Reduce water consumption by optimizing manufacturing and cleaning cycles,
  • Maximize reuse of water and energy already mobilized,
  • Integrating water concerns into product design, through eco-design.

This program mobilizes R&D, HSE, quality, production and industrial maintenance teams, encouraging sustainable changes in practices in the field. « Poséidon has improved operating methods while enhancing plant reliability. The project demonstrates that more economical water management can go hand in hand with industrial performance, thanks to responsible innovation in keeping with Gattefossé's raison d'être: “We stand for caring science”, »says Elisa Ropagnol, Industrial Operations Manager.

Results and outlook

The results of the project are significant: a 14 % reduction in water consumption per ton produced in two years, 800,000 liters of water saved in 2024 thanks to production campaigns, as well as 400,000 liters saved with optimized chiller shutdown. In addition, 32 % of gas were saved thanks to heat recovery. In the future, Gattefossé expects to reduce water consumption for industrial washing by 60 to 80 % through the deployment of Cleaning In Place (CIP). In this context, 2.2 million euros of investments are planned for 2026-2027 to amplify this approach.

Segede is stepping up the integration of its European production in response to new regulations on packaging recyclability, particularly in the field of zamak, recognized for its durability.

Segede announces a significant update of its European production offering to better meet growing sustainability requirements. This revision comes at a time when Citéo, through its recyclability guides, has reclassified zamak from orange to green. This new situation opens up new prospects for brands wishing to use zamak in their packaging.

Hybridizing skills

Patrick Trescartes comments: «.« Working with China makes sense if production is transparent and guaranteed. Conversely, why make a product in China that France can produce at the same price? »This statement reflects Segede's determination to maintain a hybrid production model, combining French quality and international competitiveness. Through its sister plant in China, the company deploys harmonized production methods while guaranteeing controlled quality under French supervision. This approach combines French expertise in precious metals with know-how in the transformation of the main metals, such as aluminum, brass, steel and zamak.

Adaptability to changing regulations

European regulations on packaging and waste (PPWR) require all packaging to be recyclable by 2030 and 2035. With this in mind, Segede has embarked on a proactive strategy by offering recycled materials, thus meeting corporate social responsibility (CSR) criteria and facilitating the re-localization of production in Europe. Segede also offers zamak and aluminum sourcing with up to 90 % of recycled content, in compliance with the ISO 14021 standard.

Wheaton presents its new packaging line, Glasssenses Emotions. This collection transforms decorative techniques into sensory experiences in glass, focusing on design, color, texture and finish, with each bottle conveying a particular emotion. This development marks a milestone in the olfactory experience offered to consumers.

A dialogue between creativity and technology

The Glasssenses Emotions collection comprises eight original decorative combinations, developed using high-precision technologies. These techniques include scented silk-screen printing, soft finishes, and multicolor metallization, all designed to enhance sensory perception. « The collection reflects our commitment to creating solutions that develop the narrative potential of brands. »explains the company.

Emotions translated into glass

Each bottle in the collection responds to a specific emotion through a choice of color, shape and texture. The techniques applied to represent each of these emotions include :

  • Célestial Code: This textured white decor evokes purity.
  • Joyful Soul: The metallic yellow color reinforces the idea of joy.
  • Go For It: A translucent effect symbolizing determination.
And other techniques for sensations like energy, love and balance. As part of this dynamic, the Robertet perfume house was invited to design eight fragrances corresponding to the line's emotional codes. This partnership aims to strengthen the link between packaging and perfumery. In addition, a QR code integrated into the packaging provides access to themed playlists on Spotify and guided meditation videos on YouTube, enriching the overall sensory experience.
