The house Adolfo Domínguez, in collaboration with Quadpack, is pushing back the boundaries of eco-design with the launch of innovative packaging for its ADN range, using PEFC-certified maple wood.

Spain's Adolfo Domínguez has teamed up with Quadpack to introduce a packaging system that marries aesthetics and ecology. With the ADN range, they are taking a pioneering approach, using a cap and ring set made from PEFC-certified maple wood. Antonio Puig and Quadpack planned every detail to ensure that the unique design, resulting from Woodacity technology, respected the principles of circularity. « Sustainable innovation planning is essential »comments a Quadpack representative.

A multi-sensory experience

Beyond its practical functionality, the Woodacity system offers an enriching user experience. The soft touch of the wood and the distinctive sound of the click when the cap is closed all reinforce consumers' emotional bond with the product. Adolfo Domínguez capitalizes on this strategy for its Oriental Collection and now for the ADN line, enhancing the sensory quality of its packaging.

The future of packaging is clearly moving towards sustainable and aesthetic solutions, which could influence other players in the cosmetics sector. This initiative underlines the growing importance of sustainability-driven collaborations, encouraging ecological innovation within the industry.

Alter-Thickhair: a new natural, upcycled hair densifier made in France

site-industries-cosmetiques A woman with short, curly hair and a man with thick hair and a beard face each other. The text in the center reads: "ALTER-THICKHAIR Densifiant capillaire naturel fabriqué en France" on a beige background.

The Breton manufacturer Lessonia presents Alter-Thickhair, a plant-based ingredient designed to densify hair. Made from fibers derived from oud wood, this new product is a natural, sustainable and vegan alternative to traditional fibers such as nylon, cotton or keratin.

Meeting the expectations of a changing market

Faced with the problems of hair density loss linked to stress, hormonal variations or diet, demand for natural, effective solutions is growing. At the same time, formulations are increasingly oriented towards responsible ingredients, without compromising performance.

This is the background to Alter-Thickhair, designed to meet both the environmental challenges and the efficiency needs of hair care brands.

A reused raw material: oud wood

Traditionally used in perfumery, oud wood reveals a new use here. Lessonia uses the residues from the distillation of its essential oil to create an upcycled hair fiber, through a grinding and micronization process carried out at its Saint-Thonan plant in Brittany.

Natural electrostatic fixation

The resulting fibers have a positive charge that interacts with the hair's naturally negative charge. This electrostatic adhesion mechanism ensures even distribution, long-lasting hold without residue or transfer, and a natural look.

An ingredient that can be adapted to your needs

Available in two standard shades (Natural and Brown), Alter-Thickhair can be customized to meet the requirements of formulators and brands.

Key features

  • Instant densifying effect
  • Light, soft, non-sticky texture
  • Long-lasting hold
  • 100 % natural, vegan, microplastic-free
  • Made in France from upcycled materials

«With Alter-Thickhair, we give a second life to a precious and rare raw material used in perfumery. It's an innovation that combines durability and visible effectiveness. The effect is incredible as soon as you apply it, explains Marion Lagadec, Lessonia's Marketing Manager.
