Inauguration of the Cosmetomics@Normandy Technology Platform

19 October 2017

The safety and performance of cosmetic products are among the essential values of Made in France that Cosmetic Valley aims to promote. To this end, the cluster has launched the COSMETOMICS platform network, giving companies in the industry access to cutting-edge technologies and enabling them to participate in the development of new measurement and testing instruments and methods. The challenges are numerous: characterizing the product, studying the skin, measuring skin-product-environment interactions, assessing product safety and their harmlessness for users... Dedicated to Measuring skin-product interactions with the aim of measuring their effectiveness, the first Cosmetomics@Paris-Île-de-France platform was inaugurated in Cergy-Pontoise in 2016. In 2017, the network will be enriched by a second platform: Cosmetomics@Normandie, which will be dedicated to measuring the health and safety of cosmetic products.

Cosmetic product safety: A Strategic Area of Excellence for Cosmetic Valley

Established in Normandy since 2005, the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster shares with the region a strategy of territorial excellence in the field of security. Indeed, a concentration of know-how in this field justifies this thematic positioning for the cluster. The inauguration of the Cosmetomics@Normandie platform is a concrete illustration of this. It follows on from the development, on the Ebroïcien site, of the skills of the academic and private research network on health safety (chemical and microbiological), which originated in the 2000s. Intimately linked to the region's economic development, these skills were identified as part of the smart regional specializations listed by Europe in 2013.

Four new structures have been created to support this process:
▪ Cosmetolab, launched in 2014, the first industrial pilot for preservative-free cosmetics processing and packaging.
▪ Cosmetomics@Normandie, a platform dedicated to measuring the health and safety of cosmetic products.
▪ The I2C Carnot springboard: an academic research network in Normandy, part of whose activity will concern the cosmetics industry (inauguration end of October 2017).
▪ The Centre de Sécurité Sanitaire de Normandie on the Evreux university campus
(opening at the end of 2017)

Cherries for the new Naturex Beauty Food range

Naturex expands its "Beauty Food" range of food-based skincare ingredients. The new collection "Energy Boost includes concepts formulated from extracts of dogwood (cornelian cherry) and acerola.

Cornelian cherry - tomorrow's superfruit
Dogwood (Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc) is an antioxidant-rich fruit used in traditional Chinese medicine. This new ingredient is perfectly in tune with the two major trends in cosmetics today: "superfruits" and Asian inspiration. Less well known than some other Asian medicine ingredients, cornelian cherry offers real potential for innovation and differentiation. Drawing on its botanical knowledge and experience, Naturex believes that cornelian could become a highly successful cosmetic ingredient in the near future - just as cranberry was a few years ago.
The antioxidant power of dogwood and its benefits for the skin have been demonstrated. Studies in vitro have shown that it stimulates by 710 % the production of catalase, an enzyme protecting the skin from oxidative stress. In addition, it increases by 120 % the production of glutathione reductase, an enzyme essential for maintaining the oxidative balance of cells. Dogwood has also been shown to reduce lipid peroxidation by 40 %. This true "superfruit" is also renowned for its soothing properties and radiance-enhancing benefits.

Acerola - the vitamin C superstar
Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.) is renowned for its high vitamin C content and antioxidant power. It is now recognized as one of the most promising superfruits. Produced in Brazil via a responsible and sustainable supply chain, Naturex acerola powder extract has 26 times the antioxidant activity of orange.

Two innovative concepts
The number of new products containing dogwood and acerola increased significantly between 2012 and 2016, by 183 % for dogwood, and 36 % for acerola (Mintel data). Naturex has harnessed the benefits of these two berries to create two new Energy Boost concepts:
- Face ice cream - a luxurious face cream, enriched with extracts of dogwood and acerola for an antioxidant boost
- ACG Cocktail - a light, refreshing mist with acerola, Chakah honey and guarana to give skin a healthy dose of energy

Both products will be presented at Cosmetics 360 in Paris (October 18 and 19, 2017) and SCC California (October 25 and 26, 2017).

Emilie Danckaert, Global Category Manager, comments: "Our Beauty Food range illustrates how today's healthy foods can inspire tomorrow's cosmetics. Thanks to our extensive experience in plant extracts for the cosmetics and food industries, Naturex is perfectly able to identify ingredients - such as dogwood and acerola - that can also prove effective and efficient in skincare products."

The Energy Boost collection complements two other collections in the Beauty Food range: Indulgence and Detox. To find out more about these concepts, visit the Naturex stand at Cosmetics 360 and SCC California.

The Court of Cassation gives reason to Caudalie in its lawsuit against 1001PharmaciesM

Caudalie French Kiss Lip Balm - Lip balm

Caudalie has just obtained from the French Supreme Court the right to prohibit 1001Pharmacies from marketing Caudalie products via its online sales platform.
A French cosmetics brand, Caudalie markets its products through a selective distribution network of approved pharmacies in France and Europe. Internet distribution of Caudalie products is reserved for pharmacies with their own websites, and which have been approved for sales in their pharmacies.

As a reminder, at the end of 2014, Caudalie took eNova Santé to the Paris Commercial Court, claiming a manifestly unlawful disturbance resulting from the sale of its products on the 1001 Pharmacies online sales platform. Caudalie considered that the sale of its products on this non-approved platform constituted a breach of its selective distribution network. On December 31, 2014, the Commercial Court ruled in Caudalie's favor.
On February 2, 2016, the Paris Court of Appeal nonetheless ruled that the prohibition in principle of online sales via a platform was likely to constitute a restriction of competition.
This decision gave rise to lively legal debates, to the point where some questioned the future of selective distribution.
On September 13, the French Supreme Court overturned this decision. Caudalie can now once again demand the withdrawal of its products from the 1001Pharmacies platform. The Cour de Cassation has firmly reiterated that in the presence of a selective distribution network whose legality has been established, as Caudalie's has been by the Conseil de la Concurrence, there is no reason to contest its right to prohibit the sale of its products on unauthorized online sales platforms.
The European Commission had also, on May 10, 2017, in its final report on the e-commerce sector inquiry, validated that the ban on the use of online sales platforms did not constitute a hardcore restriction of competition.

"We are very pleased with the decision handed down by the French Supreme Court. Selectivity has always been at the heart of our distribution strategy. In these proceedings, we wanted above all to defend the network of our approved pharmacists, who supported us in this approach", declared Bertrand Thomas, founder of CAUDALIE, when the decision was handed down.
