Bossa Nova Vision expands its range with two new accessories for its SHUFFLE Multi technology, facilitating the validation of cosmetic claims in the hair care sector.

Bossa Nova Vision recently unveiled two new accessories for its Shuffle Multi platform, solutions that help refine the validation of product claims in the hair cosmetics sector. Thanks to the Bolero 360 and Hula accessories, companies and laboratories can now benefit from increased precision in the analysis of volume, movement and curl retention of treated hair.

Innovation in capillary characterization

The Bolero 360 offers the ability to measure the three-dimensional profile of strands, while the Hula focuses on hair movement analysis. These tools differentiate between voluminous hair fibers and curly or flyaway fibers, offering a more detailed perspective on the performance of applied hair products.

An integrated approach for reliable results

Thomas Davies, Head of Business Development and Applications, emphasizes: « Following on from the success of the original Shuffle system, the Shuffle Multi and its new accessories now incorporate full humidity control, offering reliable results for high-volume capillary tests-an indispensable asset for laboratories seeking to improve their efficiency. "

As the hair cosmetics sector continues to grow, the integration of these new accessories could transform the way companies approach product validation, reducing time to market and ensuring more consistent results. This advance gives researchers and developers the tools they need to create products that better meet the expectations of consumers, who are eager for visible results in terms of volume and softness.

site-industries-cosmetiques Four Odacité Edelweiss Extreme skincare products are presented: a cleansing cream in a pump bottle, a super serum in a dropper bottle, a supreme cream in a jar and an eye cream in a small jar, all on a white background.

Odacity reveals the Edelweiss Extrême range, a marriage of botanical cosmetics and artificial intelligence. This facial care line targets sensitive, stressed skin.

Odacité, under the direction of its founder Valérie Grandury, is embarking on a new cosmetic era with the launch of its Edelweiss Extrême range. Designed to pamper fragile skin, this line is based on a key ingredient: edelweiss. Edelweiss, in symbiosis with artificial intelligence, is cultivated under optimized conditions to maximize its content of biologically active compounds, renowned for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

An innovative growing method

The Edelweiss Extrême complex, at the heart of the range, takes advantage of plant cultivation governed by artificial intelligence. By precisely adjusting growth parameters, this technology promotes the production of essential molecules without genetic intervention, guaranteeing both consistent concentration and efficacy of plant extracts.

This process meets the challenges of modern cosmetics by ensuring the stability of active ingredients, increasing the efficacy of extracts without genetic alteration, and preserving biodiversity by reducing the collection of wild plants in the wild.

A complete, harmonious routine

The range comprises several products, each playing a distinct role in the skincare routine: Hydra-Calm Cream Cleanser protects the skin microbiome from the initial cleansing, while Edelweiss Extrême Derm-Restore serum and Renew Supreme Cream face cream target regeneration and the skin barrier. Finally, Edelweiss Extrême Eye Repair eye cream offers specific care for sensitive eye areas.

The extracts in Biolie's Sensizyme range are naturally radiant and safe. Sensient are now free of all Sudan Red colorants, meeting the strict standards of the cosmetics industry.

Recent developments in the cosmetics industry have highlighted the unexpected use of Sudan Red dyes in some products claiming to be natural. In response, Biolie by Sensient has announced that its Sensizyme range of extracts has been rigorously tested and is now guaranteed free of traces of these colorants, widely banned due to their potential carcinogenic risks.

A commitment to healthy colors

Sudan dyes are synthetic azo compounds, originally developed to color plastics and textiles thanks to their intense red hue and modest cost. Their presence in the food and cosmetics sectors is strictly forbidden, a regulation backed by well-documented evidence of the associated health risks.

With this certification, Biolie by Sensient affirms its commitment to transparency and safety in every one of its formulations. This approach echoes the beauty industry's growing demand for ingredients that are both authentic and safe.

Prospects and advanced technology

Sensient Beauty, a major player in the international color raw materials market, has integrated Biolie's innovative technologies to strengthen its color manufacturing capabilities, marking a significant step forward in the global cosmetics sector. Their patented solvent-free enzymatic method offers a promising alternative in the production of natural ingredients. This move towards safer, more ethical manufacturing is an important step towards the future of cosmetics, a sector in constant evolution, driven by scientific discoveries and ever-changing consumer expectations.

SGS has positioned itself as a key partner for international cosmetics brands seeking to enter the Saudi market, helping them to comply with the new SFDA regulations.

With the recent evolution of regulations in Saudi Arabia for cosmetics, personal care and perfumery products, SGS is strengthening its support for international exporters. As a conformity assessment body approved by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), SGS offers guidance and certification services to ensure regulatory compliance and facilitate access to dynamic Middle Eastern markets.

New regulatory requirements for the cosmetics industry

The cosmetics sector in Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid expansion, accompanied by increased regulatory requirements aimed at ensuring product safety and quality. Important updates to the SFDA include revised conformity assessment procedures and an expanded list of prohibited ingredients. Exporters must now provide precise documentation and comply fully before shipping their products. The Certificate of Conformity (CoC) remains a central requirement for all cosmetic shipments. Any shipment that does not comply with SFDA standards, or arrives without a valid CoC, will be detained by Saudi customs.

Ensuring compliance and trust

SGS uses its SFDA-approved status to assess shipments against the latest regulations, checking technical documentation, labeling compliance and product registration details, supporting exporters in meeting mandatory criteria. Recent regulatory changes have also introduced stricter inspection protocols and staggered deadlines for products containing new restricted substances, often requiring immediate reformulation and re-evaluation.

Thanks to its expertise in conformity assessment, SGS offers exporters solutions for:

  • Clear regulatory navigation thanks to continuous monitoring of SFDA updates
  • Efficient certification to protect launch schedules and commercial deadlines
  • SGS-issued CoCs support product acceptance and reinforce retailer and consumer confidence.

By 2026, the cosmetics industry will be banking on science, personalization and ethical values. The market is expected to reach $580 billion by 2027, according to a study by the Spanish Beauty Cluster.

The beauty industry is enjoying uninterrupted growth, fueled by consumers demanding more than just cosmetics. At the Beauty Trends Lab 2025, it was revealed that the sector is set to reach $580 billion by 2027, with annual growth of 6 %. E-commerce and premium cosmetics play a major role in this dynamic. As the Beauty Cluster, « the strong growth in «scientific beauty» shows that consumers are looking for efficiency and innovation, even in complex environments». "

The age of personalization

Consumer expectations are changing radically. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all solutions; today, they want products designed specifically for them. This hyper-personalization is now possible thanks to artificial intelligence, biometrics and advanced data analysis. « We're going through a structural change. The desire for customized products is shaking up the value chain, »according to the Beauty Cluster.

A growing commitment to social responsibility

Social responsibility occupies a central place among consumers, especially younger ones. A recent survey shows that 73 % of Generation Z are willing to pay more for sustainable products. These new priorities are influencing the industry, which is moving towards recycled ingredients and water-free formulas. The intersection of science, technology and wellness, as the Beauty Cluster points out, « opens up new market opportunities for the coming years». "

With this transformation, the beauty sector is no longer content to focus solely on aesthetics. It is entering a new phase in which science, personalization and values in line with well-being and the environment are valued, redefining our relationship with personal care.

Cosmetics initiatives to reduce endocrine disruptors

site-industries-cosmetiques A collection of SPRING brand cleaning products, including spray bottles, soap, refills and a box, arranged on a white surface with towels, a lemon, a basket and green leaves in the background.

Spring is vigorously committed to limiting the use of controversial materials in cosmetic products, at a time when regulations are being tightened to better protect consumers.

Endocrine disruptors (EDs) represent a major public health issue, with recognized harmful effects on human health. Spring, a French brand, is committed to combating these substances in collaboration with other players in the sector. «Clean beauty», an often-used expression, reflects their aspiration for risk-free cosmetic formulas.

An evolving regulatory framework

The European Union is stepping up its restrictions on certain controversial ingredients. The ban on TPO in semi-permanent varnishes from September 2025 represents a significant milestone. However, Spring co-founder Laure Favre points out: « Regulations are moving in the right direction, but aberrations persist in different sectors. » Clear on this point, she advocates more fluid developments between different industries, such as cosmetics and detergents.

Increasingly vigilant consumers

Demand for «clean» products continues to grow, prompting companies to actively remove controversial ingredients. However, the cohabitation of these expectations with consumer preferences, such as foam or fragrance, remains delicate. Patricia Rannaud-Bartaire, endocrinologist and paediatrician, stresses the need for brands to reconcile expectations with regulatory developments and commercial challenges.

Against this backdrop of change, Spring's constant drive to promote safer alternatives seems to be paying off, both for consumers' health and for the environment. The brand's ambition goes beyond mere regulatory compliance to offer products that reassure without compromising on their efficacy.
