November 7, 2016

With a constant desire to offer products that keep pace with cosmetics market trends, Lessonia has just launched its Orchiderma moisturizing range.

Moisturizing is an essential part of any skincare routine, helping to combat external aggression and skin aging, which are now at the heart of consumer concerns.

8 hours of hydration

Based on a black orchid complex, Orchiderma is available in 5 products, offering a moisturizing ritual of proven effectiveness*:

Cleansing milk
Micellar water
Face cream*(+ 34 % of hydration after 8 h)
Hand cream*(+ 54 % of hydration after 8 h)
Body lotion*(+ 44 % of hydration after 8 h)

*8-hour hydration test carried out on 10 volunteers (normal to dry skin).

Black orchid moisturizing complex

To develop this moisturizing range, Lessonia was inspired by the orchid's ability to capture water like a sponge. Orchiderma products contain 5 common active ingredients to ensure complete hydration:

Improves skin's natural moisture capacity
Deep skin hydration
Creation of a protective surface film
Protection against free radicals
Suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive

A call to travel

In addition to its renowned moisturizing and protective properties, the black orchid conveys an image of mystery, exoticism and luxury. These are strong concepts that can make all the difference in a competitive market and appeal to brands. Orchiderma products are available under white label for both cabin and resale.

3 November 2016

Dirinon-based Technature, a specialist in cosmetic masks, has announced the acquisition of Laboratoires Science et Mer in Le Relecq-Kerhuon, a leading manufacturer of cosmetic products for the thalassotherapy industry, thus forming a single Technature entity.

All subcontracting activities (manufacturing and packaging) have been resumed without interruption.

The combination of Technature's worldwide presence (in over 40 countries) and its constant research into innovation, with the know-how of Laboratoires Science et Mer, whose plant is just a few kilometers away, will create an immediate synergy and offer its customers the best of both companies, but will also strengthen Technature's position in the BtoB cosmetics market.

Two production sites at the tip of Finistère...

With this takeover, Technature now has over 110 employees, doubling its production capacity from 4,500 m² to 8,500 m² under cover. The Dirinon site, where the head office is located, will be dedicated to the manufacture and packaging of cosmetic powders (peel-off masks, body wraps, etc.), while the Le Relecq-Kerhuon site will produce white cosmetics (creams, gels, serums, hydrogels, etc.). This specialization by technology and the complementary nature of the two sites will ensure the level of expertise and innovation needed to meet customer expectations.

However, Technature chose not to keep the two Science et Mer brands, as it did not wish to become a competitor to its own customers. The Science et Mer Paris and Algoane brands have been taken over by another company.

The end of this year marks the coming together of two of Brittany's leading players in the world of cosmetics, who between them combine a quarter century of know-how and expertise...

October 14, 2016

Air Liquide announces that its subsidiaries Seppic, creator of specialty ingredients for healthcare, and Schülke, specializing in hygiene, have laid the foundation stone for an ultra-modern production site in Sandston (Henrico County - Virginia, USA). Scheduled to come on stream in the first half of 2018, the facility represents an investment of over $60 million and will help create around 50 jobs in the region.

The new site will produce ingredients for the world's leading cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Specialty ingredients for cosmetics represent a market worth over $10 billion worldwide, including $25 % in the United States.

This production facility will enable both companies to strengthen their proximity to their American customers. The plant is located in the north-east of the USA, close to the majority of the industry's players. It will be managed via a joint venture between Seppic and Schülke, named Polykon Manufacturing. The resulting synergies will enable Seppic and Schülke to create added value in their respective areas of expertise, while meeting the growing need for innovation in these markets.

François Jackow, member of the Air Liquide Group's Executive Committee, overseeing Healthcare activities, commented: "Seppic and Schülke have a long-standing presence in the United States, where they serve major customers in the health and beauty sectors. This first U.S. production site for both companies will enable them to increase their innovation potential, expand their industrial footprint and get closer to their U.S. customers, while strengthening their global production capacities. With this investment, Air Liquide is pursuing its development in hygiene and specialty ingredients, and strengthening the Group's Healthcare business in this region."

12 October 2016

Agrimer announces its collaboration with Merck to market a new generation of marine active ingredients for dermocosmetics. This partnership, signed in Germany in July 2016, is the fruit of long-standing efforts to develop innovative ingredients from the sea.

The first ingredient presented by Merck is RonaCare RenouMer. It comes from a new species of genetically identified red algae and has been selected for its action on firmness and stimulation of collagen formation. RonaCare RenouMer has been developed from the cytoplasm of red algae. Polysiphonia elongatadiscovered by Agrimer along the coast of Brittany. In the water, this algae, highly exposed to the sun, has developed survival strategies. The effects of the components of its cytoplasm, which are also beneficial to human cells, have been demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo These compounds act on collagen formation, making skin suppler and smoother. They also help maintain skin hydration and elasticity. RonaCare RenouMer combines scientific knowledge of marine active ingredients with the desire of consumers of all ages to keep their skin looking young and fresh for as long as possible. Karl Christian Gallert, Head of Cosmetic Business at Merck, is very enthusiastic about this collaboration, declaring " This active ingredient produced from algae cytoplasm, with its natural mode of action, is the perfect complement to our dermocosmetics portfolio. ". These marine active ingredients are particularly attractive to consumers and the cosmetics industry alike, as they combine the desire for naturalness and sustainability with the fascination of the ocean's unexplored depths. The sea is one of the last secret places on our planet, and a source of as yet unknown substances for health and beauty. " This ingredient is the result of an R&D program launched five years ago. It can be considered the first major step in the development of marine active ingredients. "says André Prigent, Chairman of Agrimer. " We're delighted to be working with Merck, as our products will now be available worldwide. "

Keyence IM digital profile projector makes label inspection more reliable

JMD Étiquettes checks the dimensions of all the labels it produces at its Bondoufle (91) manufacturing site. Manual measuring operations are now handled by Keyence's IM series digital profile projector. In all industrial processes and throughout the supply chain, labels remain the preferred and simplest means of ensuring product or equipment traceability. In the aeronautics sector, labels are associated with all the parts that make up an aircraft, from engines to landing gear and braking systems. In this field, the level of requirements is high, as labels are subject to durability constraints and quite severe environments. The labels, generally made of steel or aluminum, are strictly dimensioned by their designers. "We must guarantee tolerances of ± 100 µm indicated on the drawings supplied by our customers."says Sylvestre Cottard, Managing Director of JMD Étiquettes.

All the operator has to do is place the label to be inspected on the board of the Keyence imaging system. The IM recognizes the part and automatically performs dimensional measurements according to predefined parameters, with an accuracy of up to 0.X µm. Measured values are transmitted via the Ethernet network to a centralized database, guaranteeing traceability of operations. At JMD Étiquettes' Bondoufle site, four people are authorized to use the profile projector. "They have only had a little training in its use, because the IM, although a high-performance measuring system, is fairly easy to learn," notes Sylvestre Cottard. The IM now inspects 300 to 400 labels a year, guaranteeing compliance with the dimensions and tolerances demanded by customers. "Previously, two people were in charge of controls. They were often overworked. Now, one person is enough for this operation. We've gained in productivity while improving the quality of measurements", concludes Sylvester Cottard.

Autophagy, a biological signature Silab in cosmetics

On Monday October 3, Japanese biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for elucidating the biological mechanism of autophagy, a powerful process for degrading and recycling cell constituents. His research has highlighted autophagy's role in a number of pathologies and in aging.

As early as 2006, when autophagy was just background noise in dermatology, Silab's advanced research and university partnerships were deploying a research strategy to understand this machinery and its functions in the skin.

Silab and autophagy: key figures :

10 years of research,
4 national and international patents,
2 theses and 2 partnerships with public research laboratories*,
7 international communications, including 4 publications and 3 conferences,
1 innovation award,
1 international seminar organized by Silab on April 15, 2013 at the Maison de la Chimie, Paris.

Silab is a pioneer and innovator with unique expertise in cutaneous autophagy, based on groundbreaking biological models. This essential modeling approach is a major asset in the exploration of autophagic mechanics. As early as 2009, Silab proposed the active ingredient Celldetox, an autophagy modulator which is available and widely acclaimed on the market today. Acting on autophagy markers (lysosomes, LC3), this biotechnological active ingredient revives the radiance of intoxicated skin and smoothes microrelief after 14 days; it evens skin tone and erases wrinkles after 28 days. A genuine detoxification and cellular longevity booster, it offers new youthfulness to tired skin. In line with its strategy, Silab continues to extend its research scope to explore new autophagic pathways such as mitophagy and mitochondrial autophagy.
