Lessonia sees life in green and launches an impregnated mask with a reduced ecological footprint

Cosmetics industry - Shiseido

Now the European leader in the face mask market, Lessonia continues to innovate with the launch of a new mask with a reduced ecological footprint. A first in this market!
Sensitive to environmental issues, the Breton company offers technical solutions to reduce the ecological impact of impregnated masks by innovating on packaging and eliminating the need for polypropylene supports.
In the impregnated face mask market, brands use sachets containing aluminum foil. This material has a high ecological footprint linked to its production. In order to reduce this footprint, Lessonia now offers packaging without aluminum foil. By making this choice, the company divides by 2 the carbon impact linked to the production of the materials needed to make the sachets. In addition, it saves 50 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in the atmosphere per 10 million masks produced, while guaranteeing the protective barrier effect of the packaging (preventing the mask from drying out).

But Lessonia doesn't stop there. It continues to innovate by doing away with the polypropylene support usually used to facilitate mask unfolding. In this way, Lessonia saves 15 tonnes of polypropylene per 10 million masks produced, while ensuring that the product is easy to use (out of the bag, easy to unfold). The company also offers specific natural materials, such as BIO non-woven masks. All Lessonia masks are OEKO-TEX level 1 certified.
Lastly, the company completes its 100% naturally-derived milky serum offering with Bio Cosmos lotions (aqueous or creamy). This enables Lessonia to offer sustainable, natural solutions for all phases of an impregnated mask project.

At a time when users are looking for greater transparency and ethics in their consumption, Lessonia is constantly improving its research and development to meet new consumer expectations and reduce its environmental impact.

"The creation of Superga Beauty will enable us to support beauty brands with global solutions for the creation of fragrances, skincare and make-up, and to open up new markets," emphasizes Alain Bréau, Chairman of Superga Invest.
This opens up new horizons for Superga Beauty, consolidating its position as a strategic supplier to beauty brands.

perfume - Cosmetics industry

Arcade Beauty is setting up a facility dedicated to young perfume and cosmetics brands, to enable the online sale of personalized samples in small batches. After the United States at the end of 2018, the group is launching the Sampling Made Simple site in Europe.
As the market leader in samples and mini products, Arcade Beauty is responding to the growing demand from Indian brands wishing to integrate samples into their marketing strategy. To meet this demand, the group has standardized its offer and put it online, making it accessible to all without compromising on quality.

1000 samples in just a few clicks

Sampling Made Simple enables fragrance brands to develop a mini-spray sample in just a few clicks, for a minimum quantity of 1000 pieces, with the option of personalizing the card in which the sample will be inserted. Once the order has been validated online, brands simply send their juice to Arcade Beauty and receive their personalized samples a few weeks later. Other sample formats will be added to the site in the coming months: sachets, blister packs, etc., to offer a complete range of standards available in small series, in the perfume, skincare and make-up segments.
This approach illustrates the transformation of the Group, which is adapting its offering, modifying its sales approach and processes to provide its customers with the best possible service.

Cosmogen introduces Perfect Match, its patented brush with liquid foundation reservoir

Brush - Foundation

Cosmogen teams mobilize to offer ever more innovative and high-performance solutions. Renaud van den Berg, Managing Director since 2014 and a Cosmogen shareholder, highlights the creativity of Justine Rechenmann, the creator of Perfect Match, an ingenious brush designed to receive and apply a liquid foundation formula. It features a silicone reservoir to hold the foundation, and an original tuft of bristles that allows it to flow from one to the other for judicious, professional application.

I'm very happy to have been able to develop this patent, a challenge in the world of make-up brushes. To achieve this, I began by analyzing the market context and identifying the strong trend towards liquid foundations, but without a suitable applicator. This was how I came up with the idea for Perfect Match! All this, of course, in close collaboration with the technical team. Thanks to Cosmogen for trusting me.'' Justine Rechenmann

Strand Cosmetics Europe presents its new collection of exfoliants and peel off masks at MakeUp in Paris

Orange drink - Orange
HyperFocal: 0

Strand Cosmetics Europe relies on its trend analysis and continues to develop its collection of specific and targeted beauty and wellness treatments, identified by 4 colors according to their properties: orange: radiance, anti-pollution; pink: refreshing and soothing; blue: hydrating; green: purifying and astringent.

''The challenge is to deepen the concept of targeted and adapted formulas, both in terms of galenics and composition, in the continuity of the active waters and facial cleansers launched in 2018. Identified by color codes, each formula offers a specific skincare and sensorial experience and the combination exfoliator and peel-off mask, - which can be extended to cleansers and active waters - offers a well-being ritual. Beyond the quality and uniqueness of the formulas, Strand Cosmetics Europe positions itself as a cosmetics designer and has integrated into its offer the conditions for a perceived brand image of excellence, attractiveness and authenticity. An approach appreciated by both institutional brands and Indies Brands looking for turnkey creative concepts.

The search for overall performance is reflected in the subtle selection of active ingredients according to their properties and associated benefits - plant complexes, marine water, microalgae - as well as, for the masks, a granulometry that respects the epidermis, such as orange peel, shellfish, rosehip and kiwi seed powder.
Naturalness, effectiveness and the proposal of delicious, balanced, generous and comfortable textures are at the heart of the research and development process of Strand Cosmetics Europe laboratories, in line with the strong expression of market expectations. While ensuring the stability, reliability and safety of the products.
The collection is part of the responsible consumption universe, echoing emerging trends and adopting the codes and values of the Indies brands. The authenticity, quality and attractiveness of the products instantly reassure, in favor of a trustworthy and long-lasting brand/consumer relationship.
