Ecoinvent has published updated data on the carbon footprint of recycled zamak, a crucial alloy for the cosmetics industry in its quest for sustainability. Segede confirms its commitment to this ecological transition.

For Ecoinvent, the carbon impact of recycled zamak is now reduced from 2400 kg of CO₂/tonne to less than 671 kg, thanks to the limited use of virgin raw material. This update marks a significant step forward for Segede, which has been working to reduce the material's carbon footprint.

Segede's commitment and European regulations

In the context of PPWR regulations, the European Union is pushing brands towards «more circular» production practices, with a direct impact on their packaging strategies. Zamak, hitherto neglected in favor of more conventional materials, has seen its recyclability validated by the European Committee for Standardization. This new status legitimizes its wider use in the cosmetics sector.

Towards 100 % recycled material

Segede is committed to supporting the industry by supplying brands with zamak made from fully recycled material, without compromising on quality. More «circular» than ever, zamak could transform brands' eco-design practices, in line with a growing demand for sustainable materials in their packaging.

With the objective of a smooth transition and a commitment to traceability and responsible sourcing, Segede offers a capacity for innovation essential to responding positively to the recyclability directives anticipated by the EU. As zamak's impact continues to be refined by LCA studies, it is redefining its capabilities in the cosmetics industry.

Molinard unveils its Perfumed Care Collection, a fusion of tradition and perfume innovation, offering a unique sensory experience based on natural ingredients.

Molinard, founded in 1849 and renowned for its expertise in perfumery, expands its offering with a Perfumed Care Collection. Célia Lerouge-Bénard, Managing Director of Molinard, describes this new range as an «intimate ritual, where each gesture of care becomes a moment of fragrant beauty», underlining the complete sensorial experience that the collection offers.

A revisited heritage

Since the creation of Crème Divine in 1901, Molinard has always included skincare in its identity. Today, this collection continues this tradition, enriched by contemporary know-how. The new references are available in four olfactory universes: Rose, Basil Tea, Ginger, and Orange Blossom, captured in a shower gel and a cream, each incorporating between 94 % and 97 % of ingredients of natural origin.

Faced with regulations on silicones, Seppic with Emogreen, offers a biodegradable, high-performance alternative to meet consumer demands for sustainable hair care.

At a time when consumers are increasingly demanding naturalness and sustainability in hair care, Seppic has positioned itself with Emogreen. This range of plant-based, biodegradable emollients offers an effective, environmentally-friendly solution to the declining use of traditional silicones, often criticized for their non-biodegradability and negative environmental effects.

Performance confirmed by sensory analysis

A comparative analysis has demonstrated the sensory similarity between traditional silicone oils and Emogreen. For example, Emogreen L15 effectively mimics Dimethicone 5cst, with comparable sensory properties but less greasy residue on hair fibers, while offering a perfect alternative to volatile silicones like D5 and D6.

Seppic has also developed a matching identification tool enabling formulators to replace silicones while retaining essential properties such as shine and volume control. The range excels particularly in volume control for textured hair, as illustrated by Emogreen HP 40, and frizz control with Emogreen C69.

By combining innovation and natural performance, Seppic offers consumers a premium sensory experience with Emogreen, a solution that is anchored in the current trend towards naturally-sourced cosmetics. This innovation paves the way for sustainable hair care products, adapted to the impending regulatory challenges.

Pet Care: a booming market with changing requirements

The Pet Care market is experiencing spectacular growth, driven by the increasing humanization of pets and the quest for ever safer, more effective products. This dynamic is drawing attention to a major challenge: how can we develop animal care products that are effective, safe and compliant with an increasingly demanding regulatory framework?

Unlike cosmetics, Pet Care products are not covered by Regulation (EC) n°1223/2009, but by Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety. They are also subject to REACH and CLP regulations. Depending on their composition and claims, some may even fall within the scope of biocides or veterinary medicines, making their development particularly complex.

In France, Bill 1711 (July 2025) now puts the spotlight on groomers' health, while the industry as a whole recognizes a dual responsibility: to ensure product safety for both animals and humans - owners and professionals alike.

Approaches differ from country to country:

  • In Switzerland, products are subject to chemicals legislation; ;
  • In Australia, the model is inspired by the veterinary field, with flexible thresholds; ;
  • In China, standard GB/T 43839 (2024) lays down new safety criteria incorporating foreseeable and abusive uses.

Eurofins C&PC: expertise at the service of Pet Care quality and safety

In this constantly changing environment, Eurofins Cosmetics & Personal Care places its scientific and regulatory expertise at the service of manufacturers and formulators. Its offer covers all the needs of the sector:

  • Regulatory & Toxicology SDS, labeling, UFI, notification to poison control center ;
  • Chemical analysis challenge test (ISO 11930), allergens, heavy metals ;
  • Studies in vitro Eye and skin irritation (OECD 492 and 439) ;
  • Clinical studies Patch test, HRIPT, open test, coat quality assessment (gloss, brushing, etc.), sniff test, use test; ;
  • Consumer tests / Home-Use Trial

Thanks to an approach combining science, compliance and innovation, Eurofins C&PC helps its partners develop safe, high-performance and compliant Pet Care products, inspiring trust and loyalty in a market where animal welfare and human safety go hand in hand.

site-industries-cosmetiques A clear, empty, square glass bottle with a small neck sits in the corner of a room. The bottom and floor are white, with a faint pink light illuminating the floor near the base of the bottle.

Beyond specific, sometimes particularly complex glass shapes, Bormioli Luigi offers a collection of ready-to-develop models with a wealth of aesthetic and technical choices. These turnkey products offer solutions for short production runs and rapid development. Edge is one of the latest additions.

Designed for both men's and women's fragrances, Edge features high shoulders and a square stature. Its sharp edges, hence the name, are rather complicated to industrialize. The distribution of the glass follows the shape of the bottle, creating depth and an elegant interplay of volumes.

It is now available in a unique 100 ml format. Fitted with a screw ring (SNI 15), it enables brands to develop a recyclable, refillable product.

Décor, the path to customization

Edge lends itself to all the forms of decoration offered by Bormioli Luigi's integrated workshop: sputtering, metallization, printing and, of course, Inside interior lacquering, whose shade promises to emphasize the thickness of the glass and the smallest volumes of the room. All of these finishing touches play a part in the quest for ultra-customization.

A standard range for all markets

Bormioli Luigi's ready-to-go collection includes almost fifty references for perfumery, cosmetics and home fragrance. Brands opting for a standard product benefit from the same Bormioli Luigi premium service, from the birth of the project to its final phase.
