Texen Beauty Partners innovates with its new "Moon" mascara collection

Moon Texen Collection

Mascara remains one of the most popular products among make-up wearers. According to Texen Beauty Partners, the cosmetics industry has seen a marked increase in mascara launches, often accompanied by new concepts.

Revealed at Makeup in New York 2024, Texen Beauty Partners' Moon Collection is a bold statement. Comprising six multifunctional mascaras, it is designed to offer a unique experience for both lashes and brows.

"The choice of the name "Moon" was inspired by the different phases of the moon, which symbolize the different stages of the make-up and eye care routine. Just as the moon changes shape and appearance, the Moon Collection offers a range of mascaras for every moment of the day."says Texen Beauty Partners.

An innovative, multifunctional collection 

Each of the six mascaras in the Moon Collection is designed to meet specific needs in terms of morphology or desired make-up results, whether to enhance lashes or structure brows.

Thanks to original, ergonomic applicators, the make-up gesture is reinvented, offering easy, precise application.

What's more, according to Texen Beauty Partners, the collection features a perfect connection between gesture, formula, brush and wringer, for an optimized user experience.

Redesigned packaging and an eco-responsible approach

The Moon Collection packs are designed without ABS, POM or POK, thus reducing environmental impact. In addition, four of the six packs feature 2-in-1 functionality, helping to reduce waste.

The "reduce" and "reuse" aspects are at the heart of the collection. The "Full Moon" mascara, for example, eliminates the need to use cotton for conventional make-up removal, thus reducing the amount of waste generated. With capacities ranging from 6.5 ml to 10.5 ml, the packs have also been designed to reduce environmental impact.

"This collection offers lash care, black mascaras with applicators and accessories to make make makeup easier, colored liners and mascaras and a wonderful makeup remover mascara!"explains Nathasha Marquez, Trading Marketing Manager at Texen Beauty Partners in her tutorial.

Floribis and Coverpla present Flo's Workshop 

Coverpla Floribis

Floribis has been growing Bourbon vanilla for 20 years. Buoyed by its reputation as a demanding and committed vanilla supplier, Floribis launched Atelier de Flo, its own brand of perfumes and cosmetics based on Madagascan plant materials, on the European market. With Bourbon vanilla at the center, the company is innovating to integrate this precious essence.

Bazille Rétro 100 ml, a Nissa cap with matching stripes for the women's version, a matte black Wally cap for the men's version, and shiny gold-tinted pumps and pump covers for both products: Coverpla was asked to design a signature product available in four fragrances: three targeting women and a fourth, more masculine version. The collection was born in Coverpla's Nice showroom, around a clever mix and match. The idea was to give the collection a signature in line with market trends. 

Generous shapes, gentle curves, the distinctive charm of the striations formed in the glass and surlyn, and a more masculine black hood for the men's version... this project is the result of close collaboration between Floribis and Coverpla, two companies that share common values and objectives. 

Creed's "Queen of Silk": an elegant purple bottle

Queen of Silk - Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie

"Queen of Silk", Creed's new fragrance, is available in 30 ml and 75 ml bottles produced by Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie.

Each bottle bears witness to Creed's exacting standards of luxury and precision. "The design, inspired by the luxurious nature of silk, is a perfect blend of refined glass construction, elaborate decorations and precise color harmonization."says Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie.

Housed in Creed's iconic bottle, "Queen of Silk" boasts a rich violet hue, a nod to the precious fabrics historically reserved for society's elite. A color that represented a challenge for the bottle-maker: obtaining the exact shade is the fruit of a complex process, requiring meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of color dynamics.

The bottle features the Creed logo elegantly etched into the glass, serving as a tactile and visual marker of authenticity and sophistication. A delicate gold motif printed by hot stamping carries the fragrance's name. Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie says the 30 ml version was particularly difficult to produce, requiring exceptional precision to perfectly apply the motif in the limited space between the Creed logo and the bottom of the bottle.

Bris Rocher, new chairman of the Green Impact Index association

Green Impact Index

Meeting on September 6, 2024, the members of the Green Impact Index association approved the renewal of the consortium's Board of Directors as part of its commitment to rotative and participative governance. Bris Rocher, Chairman of the Rocher Group, was appointed Chairman of the consortium.

A tool for environmental and societal labelling of cosmetics, wellness and family health products developed by 22 players in the sector, the Green Impact Index provides consumers with information on the environmental and societal impact of products marketed by consortium members. 

The Green Impact Index tool is based on the Afnor Spec 2215 methodology, developed in collaboration with Afnor Normalisation. Product scores are calculated on the basis of 50 criteria (formula, packaging, manufacturing, transport, use, social issues). The product's impact is represented by a rating graduated from A to E. 

By making the impact of their products more transparent, the companies in the consortium aim to contribute to the continuous improvement of their value chains.

"I'm proud to be elected Chairman of the Green Impact Index consortium, which has developed a visionary method and tool for our industries. Our ambition is to become the reference standard, and it is through the strength of the collective that we will be able to accelerate the development of ever more sustainable practices, and help consumers make informed choices. I therefore invite companies of all sizes to join us in this great transformation.said Bris Rocher.

Eric Ducournau, former president and new secretary of the consortium, spoke about his work: "I'm deeply convinced of the relevance of our tool and the AFNOR Spec 2215 method for our companies, consumers and society as a whole. We need to step up our efforts to make it known and adopted by as many companies as possible, and I will continue to play an active part in this.

The consortium's ambition is to make the Green Impact Index the reference standard for environmental and societal labelling of cosmetics, wellness and family health products, and thus transform the industry towards a more sustainable model.

The appointment of Bris Rocher, President of Le Rocher since 2009, is a fitting one. A pioneer in plant-based cosmetics, the Rocher group became in 2019, under Bris Rocher's impetus, the first international group to adopt Entreprise à Mission status, setting a precedent for French industry.

A new governance elected for two years:
- Chairman : Bris Rocher, Chairman of Groupe Rocher
- Vice-Chairman: Stéphane Labattut, General Manager, Léa Nature Cosmétiques
- Secretary: Eric Ducournau, General Manager, Pierre Fabre Group
- Vice-secretary: Aurélie Guyoux, Arkopharma R&D Director
- Treasurer: Maxime Gransart, Executive Vice President, Technicoflor
- Vice-Treasurer: Marguerite Guillou, CSR & Quality Manager, Green Family

L'Oréal and Evonik sign a partnership agreement with Abolis Biotechnologies and invest in the company

L'Oréal

L'Oréal Groupe announces a three-way agreement with Abolis Biotechnologies, a biotech startup based at the Genopole in Evry (Essonne), and the German company Evonik, one of the world's specialists in specialty chemistry, to design innovative, sustainable ingredients to meet global demand for responsible beauty. 

This agreement will accelerate L'Oréal's commitment to sustainable development as part of its L'Oréal for the Future program, which gives priority to biobased ingredients in its formulations.

L'Oréal Groupe and Evonik have each acquired a minority stake in Abolis to accompany the partnership. Bold, L'Oréal Groupe's private equity fund, participated in the €35 million round alongside Evonik CVC, Deep Tech & Climate Fund (DTCF), Clay Partners, Icos Capital and Liberset. This investment will enable Abolis Biotechnologies to expand its capabilities in the development of micro-organism-based solutions for a wide range of industries, including cosmetics, healthcare and food. 

This investment also marks a new strategic step in the collaboration between L'Oréal and Abolis, which began in 2019 and continued into 2022 in the form of an "extended lab", a pooling of resources and expertise.

"We are proud to invest in Abolis and extend our collaboration, forming a high-performance ecosystem with our long-standing partner, Evonik, commented Barbara Lavernos, Executive Vice-President in charge of Research, Innovation and Technology at L'Oréal Groupe. By mobilizing the capabilities and expertise of each of our companies in research, innovation and production, we are building an integrated value chain that we are convinced has the potential to be a game-changer for biobased ingredients in beauty."

"We are delighted to receive this funding, which will enable us to take the next step in pushing back the boundaries of biotechnology innovation, said Cyrille Pauthenier, CEO of Abolis Biotechnologies. Our collaboration with L'Oréal Groupe and Evonik will give us the keys to creating disruptive solutions tailored to the sustainable transformation of the industries we support, notably beauty, nutrition and healthcare."

"We are honored to have been chosen by L'Oréal as the preferred industrial-scale manufacturer for this project, a choice that builds on a long-standing and extensive relationship between Evonik and L'Oréal, said Ute Schick, Head of Evonik's Care Solutions business sector. We are delighted to be able to introduce new sustainable flagship ingredients to the global market alongside L'Oréal and Abolis."

FaiveleyTech: a jewel of innovation for the bottle of Rabanne's new fragrance

FaiveleyTech - Rabanne

Rabanne chose FaiveleyTech, a French company specializing in the injection and assembly of aesthetic plastic parts, to create the bottle accessory for Million Gold For Her Eau de Parfum, its new fragrance.

For his latest women's fragrance, Million Gold For Her Eau de Parfum, officially released in France on August 26, 2024, Rabanne relied on the expertise of FaiveleyTech to create the bottle accessory: an elegant jewel designed in a single piece in a complex kinematic mold. A real challenge for a haute-couture bottle.

FaiveleyTech's Beauty BU produced a gold-galvanized PP collar, which is assembled on the bottle using an automated process. The bonding, carried out at several points, provides major resistance so that the jewel cannot be removed from the product. The multiplicity of containers and glass manufacturers adds to the challenges faced by the Beauty BU.

"We are very proud to have participated, in partnership with the brand's teams, in the success of this creation: a unique jewel for this new emblematic floral and feminine fragrance signed Rabanne."explains Béryl Tomaschett, FaiveleyTech Orgelet Sales Manager.

FaiveleyTech aims to offer its customers ever more innovative, original and sustainable solutions to add value to new projects.

Rabanne commissioned this jewel to adorn the 50 and 90 ml bottles of the new eau de parfum. All bottles are refillable in a single step with the eco-friendly Million Gold for Her - 200ml refill. 

Evonik inaugurates new emollient plant

German company Evonik recently inaugurated its new ester production plant at its Steinau site in Germany. This will help boost the biosolutions portfolio of the company's Nutrition & Care division, while enabling the cosmetics sector to offer more sustainable solutions.

Evonik uses its biotechnology platform to produce emollients by enzymatic esterification. The plant, valued at over 10 million euros, will significantly increase production capacity, enabling Evonik to meet growing customer demand for sustainable cosmetic emollients. This investment will contribute to reducing Evonik's climate footprint and its customers' cosmetic formulations.

"Emollients are no longer just about performance, they must also have a strong sustainability profile. This investment helps us to reduce our footprint, while supporting the beauty industry in its transformation, responding to the demand for more responsible and environmentally friendly solutions."said Johann-Caspar Gammelin, President of Evonik's Nutrition & Care Division.

Emollients are cosmetic oils and waxes that account for 10 to 25 % of cosmetic emulsions, but also 70 to 80 % of a product's climate footprint, according to Evonik. "Switching from a chemical to an enzymatic esterification process when manufacturing emollients can reduce the climate footprint by more than 60 %, argues the company. All Care Solutions production sites are powered exclusively by renewable energies. As a result, the climate footprint of this new production plant in Steinau is virtually zero from door to door."

Emollients manufactured by enzymatic catalysis have been part of the Evonik portfolio for almost 25 years. Produced from vegetable oils, they act as emollients in skin care products, making the skin soft and supple. To date, they have been produced at Evonik's sites in Duisburg, Germany, and Shanghai, China. Evonik's Steinau site is a hotbed of innovation for the cosmetics industry, as well as for specialized biodegradable surfactants and active substances. Steinau manufactures a diversified portfolio of over 200 products.

Sustainability is the guiding principle of Evonik's Care Solutions business sector. Numerous sustainability initiatives are underway, such as the Ecohance program, which aims to meet the highest sustainability ambitions for beauty and personal care applications by including new-generation raw materials or offering social-ecological benefits.
