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 launches Glasssenses Emotions, an innovative packaging line that links design, scent and emotions. Thanks to innovative techniques, each bottle evokes specific emotions, marking a significant breakthrough in the perfumery sector.

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.

site-industries-cosmetiques A blue bottle labeled "Paula's Choice Cellular Youth" with a white pump cap stands out against a purple background, next to a swirl of pale pink serum.

Paula's Choice presents its new serum, CellularYouth, which targets cellular longevity and offers visible results after eight weeks, marking a turning point in anti-aging cosmetics.

Paula's Choice's new serum, CellularYouth, is the result of five years of advanced scientific research into epigenetics. The brand, renowned for its expertise in high-performance skincare, unveils an innovation designed to reactivate the skin's natural youth mechanisms, enabling it to look and behave like younger skin.

An approach focused on cell longevity

CellularYouth, with its light, fluid texture, goes beyond simply correcting the signs of aging. Clinical tests show that, thanks to this serum, skin becomes visibly smoother, firmer and more toned in just eight weeks. The formula not only corrects imperfections, but also acts in depth to preserve and optimize the skin's internal functions.

This serum acts on twelve signs of cutaneous ageing, improving skin tone uniformity, diminishing spots, restoring bounce, and smoothing fine lines and deep wrinkles. It also supports skin elasticity, reinforces the protective barrier, deeply moisturizes and contributes to the stability of the microbiome. All these benefits are interlinked, helping to restore balance and radiance. A cocktail of active ingredients, CellularYouth includes NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), essential for cellular energy, adding a more dynamic dimension to the treatment.

Commenting on this innovation, Dr Timothy Falla, Senior Vice President of Research and Development, explains: « Most longevity solutions focus solely on prevention, ultimately offering limited results. With CellularYouth, we wanted to go one step further: energize the skin at a cellular level, strengthen its internal defenses and offer visible results while preserving its health for the future. "

Beyond preventing the visible signs of aging, the goal is to anticipate the effects of time on the skin, while respecting its well-being.

BDK Parfums presents Velvet Tonka Extrait, a fragrance inspired by Moroccan traditions, featuring a gourmand facet thanks to pistachio. An invitation to discover the art of perfumery through a unique olfactory experience.

The Matière collection from BDK Parfums is enriched by a new extract, Velvet Tonka Extrait, whose composition reflects the Moroccan heritage of its creator, David Benedek. This fragrance reinvents classic notes to offer an innovative accord based on gazelle horn. Beyond the initial notes, Velvet Tonka Extrait reveals a gourmand facet inspired by a Moroccan pastry thanks to the addition of pistachio.

This first extract from the Collection Matières, where each fragrance is directly inspired by a perfumery raw material from which an unexpected and distinctive dimension is born, revisits its original version around an ingredient with suave, rich facets. Alongside tonka bean and associated with orange blossom, pistachio invites us to discover a new gourmet facet of this Moroccan pastry, David Benedek's madeleine de Proust, which instantly takes him back to his sixties, Sundays, in the intimacy of his grandmother's salon, in the heart of Paris's tenth arrondissement.

The tonka bean, coated in pistachio and blended with deeper notes of vanilla, emanates a roasted, naturally gourmand scent which, combined with leather, highlights even more striking contrasts than in the original version. Senior Perfumer (IFF) Alexandra Carlin thus brings to life an olfactory dialogue between tradition and modernity, from which rises a new form of intense addiction.

" Of course, tonka bean is still at the heart of the creation. It is now expressed in the heart note, rather than just in the base, in a more immediate and enveloping way. It gains in roundness and texture, with a more ambery facet. But it's its alliance with toasted pistachio that gives the fragrance its uniqueness. Wrapped in a smooth cream of toasted pistachio, the tonka bean reveals itself to be even more gourmand, allowing Velvet Tonka Extrait to gain in depth and intensity. »explains David Benedek.

Velvet Tonka Extrait will be available from February 2, 2026, exclusively in the BDK Parfums boutique and on the BDK Parfums website. brand website.
