The head of government particularly appreciated the scent of peppermint grown less than 30 km from the plant. He also noted the renown of the company's customers for their finished products.

He was accompanied by Drôme's Didier Guillaume, Minister of Agriculture and Food, Jacqueline Gourault, Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, Emmanuelle Wargon, Secretary of State for Ecological Transition and Solidarity, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance, and local representatives.

A forerunner in organic farming and fair trade 

Elixens France specializes in the production and marketing of essential oils, floral waters, dried plants and plant extracts for professionals. For over 20 years, this family-run company, managed by Jean-Pascal Abdelli BDELLI, has been working in partnership with organic producers of aromatic plants.

Clarins chooses Neomix by Aptar B+H for its new Plant Gold skin care product

Clarins Plant Gold - Moisturizer

Aptar Beauty + Home has put its expertise in packaging solutions for customized cosmetics to work for Clarins' new breakthrough product, the nutri-revitalizing oil emulsion Plant Gold - L'Or des Plantes.

A new care experience

The challenge posed by the brand to Aptar: to reproduce the gestures of Clarins institute practitioners, specialists in the sensorial blending of Clarins oils and creams, in a facial treatment that can be easily used at home. In our institutes, and since the creation of our House in 1954, our beauticians combine our face and body oils, 100% plant extracts, with our other Clarins skincare products to create customized formulas and boost their effectiveness," explains Suzy Lebert, the brand's Marketing Director. We wanted to develop packaging that would allow us to reproduce at home the gestures used in our professional skin care products. Thanks to our collaboration with Aptar, we have combined our iconic Huile Orchidée Bleue with a nourishing, melting 100% emulsion of natural origin in a double-flask. The guarantee of maximum effectiveness and sensoriality".
To welcome this exceptional two-in-one skincare product, Clarins chose the Neomix packaging designed by Aptar, a combination of functionality and glamour.

A unique blend at the click of a button!

This pack features a double compartment and dual dispensing system to create an instant, perfectly dosed mix with just one click.
In fact, the bottle contains both a light, non-greasy emulsion in its main container and Orchidée Bleue Oil in a second, smaller cartridge that clips onto the pack. Thanks to an innovative tip protected by several patents, in a single squeeze, the two formulas meet only when they come out of the pump bottle. The emulsion literally coats the oil, and it's in the palm of the hand, just before application, that the active, fusional blend takes place for maximum efficacy and optimal sensoriality.

Neomix technology

Designed, ergonomic and practical, Neomix is infinitely customizable and can be used for both skincare and make-up.
At the click of a button, its intelligent pusher delivers a tailor-made blend with ultra-precise dosage and perfect freshness.

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.
