After 20 years, Technature is still innovating

Cosmetology - Face

Technature is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year. During these two decades, the company has continued to grow and develop, based in Dirinon, Finistère.

Technature's keystone is innovation, "with a steady pace of 4 to 5 new validated products per week and 2 major innovations per year", emphasizes Pierre Morvan, the company's managing director. The made-to-measure specialist offers individualized, personalized customer solutions, and provides full service thanks to its "full service" offering. Its customers include leading beauty care brands, mainly institutes, spas and retail outlets.

Made In France" is now appreciated for the quality of its products and expertise. Thanks to its unique expertise in the alginate gelling process and the use of natural, preservative-free powders, the company has rapidly become the world leader in the market for Peel-off beauty masks, its flagship product. This second-skin-effect mask offers a unique sensation of comfort thanks to its surprisingly light, "elastic" texture. It can be removed in a single piece. This mastery of the powder blending process, as well as temperatures and setting times, has led the company to expand its range of powder products...

The company's dynamism is therefore based on investment in R&D. On the lookout for promising active ingredients with multi-sensory effects, or trendy ingredients, our R&D team comes up with new textures, new galenic formulations and new concepts. These ongoing efforts were rewarded with the INPI "awakening to intellectual property" trophy at the end of 2013. It enhances and secures its differentiating features. Recently, the company invested in machinery to manufacture and package Hydrogel masks and patches. These regular investments enable us to remain competitive in terms of both quality and volumes.

Easily measure the effectiveness of formulas with digital opton microscopes

Olympus Corporation - Microscope

**In the field of cosmetology research, knowledge of the physicochemical properties of the final product (cream, emulsion, shampoo) requires both a characterization of the elements that make up this product and a demonstration of the interactions between the product and its place of action (skin, hair ....). **

These studies can be performed very easily thanks to the new generation of DSX optonumeric microscopes which allow to easily characterize all types of samples classically used in cosmetology (liquids, emulsions, creams, powders, crystals...) deposited on a substrate (natural or artificial) or on a mineral substrate

Application example: hair cuticles

Hair cuticles can be easily observed with the 2D and 3D HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique of the DSX series digital optonomic microscopes with the MPLFLN50XBDP objective.
The range of magnification covered makes it possible to observe elements ranging from millimeter to subnanometer size. Regardless of experience and knowledge, the image obtained will always be the best thanks to the "Best image" function. Three-dimensional measurements can be performed and certified very easily thanks to an interactive and intuitive interface. Any operator, regardless of his level of experience, will be able to use the DSX microscopes easily and simply to perform very precise control observations or analyses in every operation.
Insert : DSX500_2.tif
Caption: The DSX range is the answer to cosmetic metrology. It allows you to evaluate, measure the effectiveness and validate formulas and finished products in your laboratory in complete safety and with all the necessary confidentiality.

Cosmetics industry - L'Oréal

"The list of benefits of M.E.S.-type software goes on and on: providing visibility on the progress of production orders, ensuring the reliability of production data transmitted to the ERP system, securing quality control and material weighing, contributing to the implementation of lean management, motivating production teams with simple, effective visual management, providing managers with indicators and KPIs: the list of benefits of M.E.S.-type software goes on! *explains Christian Flachard of Creative IT, publisher of the Qubes M.E.S. software package.
Deployed on more than 500 industrial sites, the Qubes software package contributes on a daily basis to helping industrial companies in their drive for continuous improvement and optimization of industrial performance. The solution is perfectly adapted to the constraints of the cosmetics business, as demonstrated by the Alkos Cosmétiques group's testimonial: the implementation of a Qubes M.E.S. solution at their four production sites has enabled them to considerably reduce production costs by optimizing manufacturing processes and securing material flows.

ERP + Qubes + machines

" Thanks to a set of standardized interfaces, Qubes integrates into the company's information system, with both ERP and production equipment. "continues Christian Flachard. The software recovers data from the ERP system (ranges, BOMs, OFs, etc.) and transmits the desired management information (quantities, times) to the ERP system. In the same way, Qubes collects all the data that adds value to production and measurement equipment.
