The Pochet Group supports Lancôme in the launch of its new Idôle feminine line

fragrance - Lancôme

For its new fragrance line, a symbol of audacity and determination, Lancôme has drawn on the multi-material expertise of the Pochet Group to create a technically unprecedented bottle. The tall, extremely slender shape, just 15 millimeters thick, is a first in the perfume world. Mastering the straight columns over the entire height, as well as the flat base and square shoulders, was also a major technical challenge. At the center of the bottle, the concave halo, designed in the mold, makes the light particularly vibrant. The transparency, brilliance and finesse of the glass are enhanced by the gilded aluminum frame, also of extreme finesse. Qualipac's mastery of 90° metal bending and curved shaping enables the frame to be glued with the utmost precision, perfectly embracing the entire length of the bottle.
Designed as a familiar nomadic object, the bottle is also refillable to optimize its impact on the environment.

Finally, Lancôme beauty consultants are equipped with a Priminter-designed case to hold the bottle, which they carry over their shoulder like a couture accessory.

Lessonia in the Hemp trend

Cannabis médical - Cannabinoid

For several months, Lessonia's R&D and marketing teams have been drawing on the major cosmetics trends to launch a brand new range of skincare products based on hemp and CBD, the two flagship ingredients for the start of 2019. The new "Hemp" range from Lessonia, specialists in the design and manufacture of cosmetic ingredients and products for brands, will enable them to ride the Hemp trend of the moment.
Hemp oil has become a must-have ingredient in the world of cosmetics in recent months, and is a natural choice for perfumery and parapharmacy shelves. In keeping with this trend, Lessonia is going one step further by including CBD in its Hemp body & face range. A soothing molecule present in hemp plants, its regulatory status has become clearer in recent weeks.

Used in cosmetics, CBD has many positive effects on the skin and body. With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces redness and soothes the skin. Regenerating, healing and sebostatic, it reduces imperfections while hydrating the skin. What's more, its soothing properties help combat muscular pain after physical exertion.

An ingredient with superpowers enabling Lessonia to develop a range of relaxing and soothing face & body products, aimed at a mixed target, with a more than pronounced olfactory identity... An opportunity for brands wishing to capitalize on the Hemp trend!

DIAM creates the 100 % eco-responsible perfume fountain for the House of Mugler

parfum - Fragrance

In 1992, DIAM created the first generation of Mugler springs. Thirty years later, the House of Mugler wanted a singular creation for its fourth generation, breaking with the past. To achieve this, it involved DIAM's design teams right from the start. The result is a remarkable object designed for point-of-sale refills of the three emblematic perfumes Aura, Alien and Angel.
For this adventure around the Mugler spring, the challenge was to combine aesthetic, technical and eco-responsible values.
Suspended around a stainless steel mast, this new Fountain was conceived as a design object, compact enough to occupy a strategic point-of-sale position. Designed as a design object in its own right around the concept of the drop, it is the fruit of close collaboration between Mugler's creative teams and those of DIAM.

A functional and aesthetic creation

Available in reversible pedestal or countertop versions, the Mugler source provides a "just right" filling method.

When eco-design rhymes with emotion

"For this new Fountain, we carried out a comprehensive eco-design project, reducing the thickness of materials, for example, and promoting the separability of parts (assembled exclusively by screws, with no glue)," explains Bruno Blin, DIAM's Sales Director. The whole unit has been given an anti-corrosion surface treatment, both inside and out, to guarantee perfect resistance to the juice, and therefore real durability at the point of sale.
"We're proud to have been able to co-create and combine our skills with those of the Mugler teams," explains Pascal Saillant, Creative Director at DIAM.
"This object has become symbolic for us all. Inspired by the world of Ross Lovegrove, the chrome suggests a space station to which the bottle is attached. An airy, feminine shape... a sensual drop in line with the Mugler universe."

Soon, major retailers such as Sephora and Marionnaud will welcome the new-generation fountain, which has also been nominated for the Popai Awards 2019.

Color Queen by L'Oréal Paris, an eco-designed case by Texen

L'Oréal - Eye Shadow

To meet the brand's demand for an eco-responsible makeup product, Texen CEICA's industrial site has focused its efforts on saving materials and reducing the number of components. Available in 36 shades, Color Queen is an eyeshadow enriched with ultra-pigmented oils.
Made in injection, the case is composed of two parts with a holographic hot stamping decoration on the base, and silver on the lid. The assembly of the two parts is done in line with the injection of the cover.

A responsible box

To minimize the material and the number of components, this case is clipped and therefore without metal pins and the rear base is hollowed out. Such an eco-design will have allowed to save about 25 % of plastic material compared to a more traditional design.
This development is part of the group's overall CSR approach. In the priority field of eco-design, Texen innovates, identifies and analyzes in order to anticipate and meet the expectations of brands by developing products that are increasingly environmentally friendly.
