"Alternative perfumery is currently a fast-growing segment. We are delighted to welcome Maison de Parfum Atelier Cologne to L'Oréal Luxe. This expert brand will provide an ideal complement in niche perfumery to the division, which already boasts exclusive fragrance collections for its biggest brands: Armani Privé, Le Vestiaire des parfums by Yves Saint Laurent, Maison Lancôme, Replica by Maison Margiela and La Collection Ralph Lauren", said Nicolas Hieronimus, Vice-President, General Manager, Selective Divisions.
Atelier Cologne creates and manufactures "Colognes Absolues" in France, genuine perfume extracts combining citrus and hesperidia notes with the noblest natural raw materials according to the creators. The products are available in soaps, shower gels and scented body milks, as well as candles for the home.
Building on its success, Atelier Cologne is now present in over 800 points of sale, in the most prestigious department stores and perfumeries in 40 countries, and on e-commerce. The brand has 6 directly-operated boutiques, including 3 in France, 2 in the United States and 1 in Hong Kong.
"The creation of Atelier Cologne is closely linked to our meeting and our love story. Today, we are embarking on a new dream, joining the L'Oréal Group and aiming to reach new heights, while retaining the entrepreneurial spirit of Atelier Cologne.

With the new VEGAPULS 64, the world's first radar level sensor for liquids operating at a frequency of 80 GHz, a new era in radar measurement technology has begun. When it comes to dealing with concentrated active ingredients in the cosmetics industry, precision is essential, and there's no room for complacency. Vega, a major player in the field of level measurement, is going all-radar, a technology now available to the cosmetics sector.
Since September 2014, the VEGAPULS 69, designed for continuous measurement of bulk solids, has met with great success. It, too, has switched from the hitherto widespread 26 GHz frequency to a 3-fold higher emission frequency. In particular, these sensors stand out when it comes to measuring products that reflect electromagnetic waves poorly. They also push back the limits when it comes, for example, to measuring in extraction shafts up to 120 m deep, or silos with numerous internal structures that generate significant interference signals.
Its successor this spring is the VEGAPULS 64 for liquid applications. It marks a turning point in measurement instrumentation with its high dynamics and improved focusing. " Products with low reflectivity, i.e. low dielectric constants, are now easier to measure than with previous generations of radar sensors. "explains the company. With its improved focus, the beam easily avoids obstacles such as internal structures and deposits. Interference, which previously had to be eliminated by means of an additional signal recording step, now has virtually no influence on measurement reliability.
This new technique enables the level to be measured very close to the bottom of the tank. This opens up new possibilities for determining the level of small tanks in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, but also enables residual fuel quantities to be determined in large tanks. Accuracy is as high as ±2 mm, even over a measurement range of 30 m.
Over the last few years, non-contact radar measurement technology has established itself in many applications in the chemical industry. Its great advantage is its insensitivity to process factors such as temperature, pressure or density. Another strong point for the chemical or cosmetics industries is the possibility of non-intrusive measurement, as the radar can pass through the tank, for example. The measurement principle is therefore not influenced by the external environment.
Shigeta, a Franco-Japanese organic cosmetics brand, has chosen Mist'erious cosmetic spray for its enveloping gesture dedicated to well-being. "Awakening Rose Water" is made from 100 % pure, organic rose floral water, with no additives or preservatives. This face mist is full of promises of gentleness: it soothes, regenerates, refines skin texture, sets make-up and perfects make-up removal. The spray was designed not only to awaken the senses, so dear to the brand, but also to reduce particles for greater effectiveness. Mist'erious, with its ultra-fine mist, met both these requirements.
Aptar Beauty + Home has created a new, enveloping application sensation. Its gentle, modulating action lets you control the dosage. Its spray is three times longer than that of a conventional nozzle, creating an airy, textured cloud. This continuous, enveloping spray is based on the combination of a reliable, robust motor and a "Long Time Spray" nozzle. Mist'erious adapts easily to screw-on, crimp-on or dudgeon bottles. It can be fitted with a metal or plastic ring.

Created for women who are always on the move, Albéa's Artist Bubble sponge tube is the ideal combination to take everywhere, and works perfectly with make-up products such as concealer, cream eyeshadow, cream blush and lip gloss.
It has been specially designed to echo the great "Cushion" trend. Women often carry their make-up products with them for quick touch-ups at any time of day, on the move, at work, or even in the evening. Artist Bubble doesn't run and guarantees precise, easy application. Compact and easily transportable for minute touch-ups, it encourages multiple purchases. A single gesture is all that's needed for a smooth application, in small dabs, for superior, precise results.
The Cushion Kiss design features a combination of black lettering and transparent areas, highlighting the radiant hue of each gloss.
For greater product differentiation, Artist Bubble comes in a range of decoration options, including 6-color offset printing, silkscreen, Pixel Graphics technology, hot stamping and matte and gloss varnishes. The tube has a diameter of 16 mm and a capacity of 5 to 15 ml.
Plant Advanced Technologies (PAT) announces the launch of its proprietary Neurovity product by Laboratoires Expanscience.
Neurovity is the result of several years of exclusive development between Laboratoires Expanscience and PAT. "The international launch of Neurovity at the In-Cosmetics trade show in April received an extraordinary welcome from our customers, who were blown away by this innovation," comments Armelle Le Peniec, Cosmetic Active Ingredients Director at Laboratoires Expanscience.
Committed to preserving biodiversity, they initiated a collaboration with Plant Advanced Technologies to produce an active extract from Vitex negundo on a large scale using PAT technology, with no impact on the environment. Both the production process and the extract have been patented by PAT.
The Neurovity active extract has been optimized and produced by PAT in its greenhouses in exclusive partnership with Expanscience. Biological and clinical studies show that this active ingredient helps prevent skin neuro-aging, activates natural DNA repair systems and reduces pigmentation spots on the skin.
With this new launch, PAT now has 4 active ingredients on the market, resulting from its research and produced in its greenhouses.
After the success of Embellisseur Lèvres in 2007 and Joli Rouge in 2015, Clarins now presents Eclat Minute, a lip-fixing base.

Clarins continues its collaboration with Topline Products by Texen, for a slim stick.
Featuring a stick mechanism, the pack for this new product justified Topline Products' development of specific tooling. Its white lacquered base recalls the pure hue of the grape.
The product name and thread are hot-stamped in Clarins red. The beveled-edge cap and chimney are anodized in a blond gold hue. Clip closure.
Grape diameter 9 mm, capacity: 1.8 g.
And to support the launch, the sales product is accompanied by its mini, which is virtually identical.
