Perfume - Fragrance

With its SEVA, Solution Ecoresponsable, Vision d'Avenir glass, the Pochet group has co-developed with L'Oréal, for one of its licensed perfume brands, Viktor and Rolf, the first perfume bottle containing 10% of recycled glass sourced exclusively from the high-end perfume industry.

Cosmetic industry - Product

Seram launches a collection of made-in-France pouches, with customizable fabrics and cords made from recycled fibers. The company draws on its long-standing textile expertise, combined with its multiple and innovative technological know-how. It thus reaffirms its commitment to an eco-responsible approach.
This proposal is part of a wider range of gifts, including customizable key-rings at the point of sale, which federate an interactive customer experience: the metal key-rings are adorned with a laser-cut and engraved textile patch ready to receive metallic letters to be applied manually, or hot-stamped using the Gravotech process, via an application. An attribute of luxury, Seram's customizable gifts are part of its mission to enhance brands.

Ultra-personalization at the point of sale, a turnkey solution from Seram with Gravotech
Seram has designed a turnkey POP solution that takes the form of an elegant, illuminated display. A drawer houses a metal alphabet, as well as various media that consumers can personalize. A machine Gravograph from Gravotech is positioned next to the display for hot stamping. Consumers can choose between mix & match brackets / branding to personalize your product. The whole system requires very little space.

Third edition of the CO.ME.T Congress on "Safety and Efficacy of Cosmetic Products

Graphic design - Cosmetic Valley

The COsmetic, MEasurement & Testing conference will showcase the latest innovations in instrumentation and testing.

Cosmetic Valley conferences are exceptional tools for scientific communication and training, and address the major challenges facing the French cosmetics industry today if it is to consolidate its global leadership. These include the safety and efficacy of cosmetic products, the flagship values of Made in France, which must be certified by testing laboratories before they can be marketed. In this respect, the development of new, high-performance testing tools has become an innovation challenge. The aim is to offer new control tools, from the ingredient to the finished product, to enhance and certify the quality and performance of tomorrow's cosmetics. Over 200 researchers, test and measurement specialists and cosmetics professionals are expected in Cergy on February 6 and 7 for the 3rd edition of the CO.ME.T conference, co-organized by the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster and the University of Cergy-Pontoise. Supported by the Cergy-Pontoise agglomeration and the Val d'Oise département, the congress will unveil the latest innovations in instrumentation and testing. Plenary presentations and experimental demonstrations will explore new solutions, sources of innovation and development for players in both the measurement and cosmetics industries. In addition to disseminating knowledge on the testing and measurement of cosmetic products and their interactions with the skin, this event will present development prospects linked to in-vitro, ex-vivo and in-vivo testing and the development of new products.

2019 edition: 2 days of conferences, 3 topical themes

The symposium takes place over two days. This year, it is devoted to the latest scientific findings, methodological, technological and applicative advances based on multi-physical (photonic, electromagnetic, mechanical) and multi-scale (from molecule to product sensoriality) testing seen in a continuum of tests: from ingredients to personalization for consumers. The main innovations presented in this 2019 edition aim to explore impact, efficacy and sustainability around 3 major topical themes:

  • Control from ingredient to finished product: explore the latest tools for qualifying a product's purity, traceability and efficacy, from initial raw material sourcing through to consumer use,
  • The study of environment-product-skin interactions: several approaches and models of ex-vivo and synthetic skin are proposed with the dual aim of product efficacy and skin protection against environmental pollution,
  • Measuring sensoriality: optimizing a product from a sensorial point of view is all the more crucial as it conditions consumer behavior. The physical, chemical and biological factors involved in product perception are numerous. The latest methods for identifying them and then qualifying the associated perception will be presented.

A scientific committee to guarantee the level of innovation
In close partnership with the prestigious IEEE consortium, the event was prepared by a scientific committee made up of experts from the cosmetics and test & measurement fields, as well as scientists from academic research organizations.

Croda adds 15 biopolymers to its portfolio of halal-certified ingredients

Halal - Cosmetics industry

Croda recently obtained Halal certification from the Instituto Halal dela Junta Islámica (Spain's Halal Institute) for 15 biopolymer ingredients manufactured at their Ditton site in the UK.
With over 20 years' experience in producing high-quality ingredients to Halal standards for the Personal Care and other industries, the latest Halal certification brings the total number of Halal-certified raw materials available at Croda's production sites worldwide to 743.
The Halal Certification Institute of the Junta Islámica officially recognizes that all 15 ingredients are manufactured in accordance with Islamic law, which is also recognized by the Indonesian Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI)). Indonesia passed a law in October 2014 requiring all Halal-compliant consumer products to be certified and labeled Halal by 2019.
Croda's Halal-certified ingredients are sold to the Personal Care, Home Care, Food and Pharmaceutical industries. Their Halal-compliant range includes surfactants, emollients, fatty acids and alcohols, humectants, inorganic UV filters, lanolins and their derivatives, rheology modifiers, gelling agents, specialty bases and blends, specialty cationic compounds, active ingredients and botanical extracts.

The 15 new certified biopolymers reinforce Croda's commitment to helping cosmetics brands access high-potential Halal markets and offer their products with proven benefits worldwide. It will also influence other countries where Halal-certified cosmetics are increasingly becoming a facet of the ethical movement.
Halal-certified ingredients, focused on both hair and skin care, are used by well-known brands.
In hair care, Halal-certified ingredients enable brands to claim benefits such as strengthening, repair, thickening, moisture regulation, frizz control, protection against extreme temperatures and style maintenance.
In skincare, ingredients can offer benefits in terms of instant firming, softening, moisture regulation or can be used as film-formers to boost the effectiveness of UV filters.

From today, formulators can obtain the updated brochure "Formulating for Halal: Certified Ingredient Guide", which provides an exhaustive list of Croda raw materials and the different types of Halal certification, enabling them to develop formulations that meet Halal standards.

Halal cosmetics are set to remain in the spotlight this year. As the world's leading producer of high-quality, Halal-compliant raw materials, Croda has embarked on an extensive Halal certification process for its products and is expanding its capabilities to meet the needs and preferences of Halal-certified consumers worldwide.
