Haute couture packaging for Darphin: a technical feat by TNT Group

site-industries-cosmetiques A glass and gold jar of Darphin Paris' Stimulskin Plus sculpting cream, labeled "Brouillon auto", floats with bubbles of green liquid on a gradient background. The jar features a geometric gold frame and white cream inside.

TNT Grouprenowned for its expertise in the engineering and manufacture of metal packaging, has collaborated with Darphin to create haute couture packaging for the new Stimulskin Plus collection. The range features a cream and a serum, both presented in technically advanced refillable containers.

Each package consists of two zamak parts, invisibly joined together to guarantee a polished, homogeneous finish. The creation process required in-depth study of the layout of the structures to avoid defects during the injection and demolding of the zamak. A screw system holds the glass cream jar in place, while the serum bottle uses a bayonet system for easy replacement. Consistent golden tones have been maintained across the various elements for a harmonious visual effect.

TNT Group, with teams based in Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Shanghai, continues to distinguish itself by its ability to tackle complex technical challenges and deliver innovative solutions for the cosmetics, fragrance and make-up industries. Since 2013, the company has established its status as a leader in the design of iconic pieces.

Micro-needling: authorization for beauticians

A ruling by the Strasbourg Administrative Court on June 16, 2025 has authorized the controlled use of micro-needling by beauticians, marking a significant step forward for the entire beauty industry. This decision comes after the Union des Professionnels de la Beauté et du Bien-être (UPB), affiliated to the Confédération Nationale de l'Esthétique Parfumerie (CNEP), challenged the ban on promoting these devices to professionals in the sector, previously considered to be for medical use only.

According to the arguments presented, the Direction Départementale de la Protection des Populations du Bas-Rhin claimed that these devices, using fine needles, constituted a medical act. However, the Court noted the absence of technical evidence proving penetration beyond the dermis or posing medical risks. Conversely, the manufacturer demonstrated that the devices are programmed not to exceed a specific depth of 0.15 millimeters, and are accompanied by mandatory training to ensure safe use. The use of these devices is prohibited on sensitive areas such as the eyelids, and no additives are used.

While this decision is welcomed by industry organizations for its recognition of the skills of aesthetic professionals, it opens the way to broader practices, provided they remain within the limits set by this ruling. It should be noted, however, that this decision may be subject to appeal, and only a ruling by the Conseil d'Etat could make it definitive. Furthermore, it does not grant universal approval to existing devices, but only to those meeting the specified safety criteria.

" The implementation of these devices must be accompanied by rigorous precautions "UPB and CNEP point out. They emphasize that the future of aesthetic practices lies in recognizing beauticians as qualified to use these minimally invasive techniques.

Estéban Paris Parfums unveils its new Édition Origine perfume mist diffuser with forced-air technology

Diffuser Origin_Esteban_8

For luminous, refined fragrant moments, French perfumer Estéban Paris Parfums unveils its brand-new fragrance mist diffuser: Édition Origine, a nomadic, waterless and cordless object of timeless elegance, designed to sublimate every interior, from living room to covered terrace.

Thanks to its advanced forced-air nebulization technology, the Origine cold diffusion diffuser restores the liveliness of the top notes, the richness of the heart notes and the depth of the base notes, preserving all the nuances and olfactory richness of Estéban concentrates.

Easy to use, simply screw on a bottle of Estéban perfume concentrate (from over 35 references) and it's ready to perfume your home. Practical and clever, changing fragrance is a snap, and maintenance is simplified to the max. Diffusion intensity can be adjusted with a simple gesture to suit any room, large or small, up to 100 m².

The independently adjustable light creates a soft or intense ambience, depending on your mood.

Nomade: perfume in total freedom

Cordless and compact, the Édition Origine fragrance mist diffuser is easy to transport from one room to another, and adapts to any space: bedroom, living room, hallway, office, or even covered terrace, to enjoy fragrant evenings.

Equipped with a rechargeable battery offering up to 14 hours of autonomy, it's the perfect companion for every moment of everyday life.

For a serene interior

A true decorative object, the Édition Origine perfume mist diffuser captivates with its delicate, contemporary aesthetic. Its raw ceramic-effect resin casing, subtly glittered, catches the light and reveals a delicate sparkle, while its timeless cream shade blends harmoniously into any interior.

The metal lid completes this refined object, and the central motif, inspired by eclipses, highlights the precious perfume concentrate for a unique ambience. The tone-on-tone embossed Estéban logo and discreet, iridescent-finish control knobs add a precious touch to the whole.

Velvetvelo: alcohol-free fragrances, a new olfactory gesture 

Velvetvelo_ARCHIMEDEINLOVE

Velvetvelo combines technological innovation with environmental commitment, offering alcohol-free fragrances with low ecological impact. The perfume house has chosen water as the base for its fragrances. Respectful of the environment and the skin, water enables fragrances to be sprayed directly onto the skin, rediscovering the traditional gesture of olfactory contact. Thanks to Mane's Aquafine technology, the liquid is transparent and non-sticky.

With Velvetvelo, fragrance can be applied directly to bare skin, even sensitive skin, or to the hair, while respecting the skin's balance. Thanks to Mane Laboratories' Aquafine microemulsion, the olfactory experience is fluid, persistent and free from the constraints of alcohol.

Seasonal fragrances

To accompany autumn and winter, Velvetvelo offers two singular creations.

Archimède in Love - a "passionate raspberry-pink kiss", a tribute to the famous theorist's Sicilian love affair - is a fragrance that has been conceived as romantic and intense to sublimate winter evenings.

Rue des Mimosas is a luminous ode to winter renewal, inspired by the first mimosa blossoms in Portugal. A tender, comforting creation to brighten even the coldest months.

Pochet creates Pochet Participations and acquires a stake in MagREEsource

MagREEsource

As a specialist in luxury glass bottles, but also an expert in multi-materials through the innovative combination of its plastic, metal, finishing and beauty accessory expertise, the Pochet Group is investing in startup MagREEsource via Pochet Participations, its new structure dedicated to supporting industrial startups.

"We are delighted to launch our fund dedicated to start-ups with MagREEsource, a company we have been working with for several years and which fully meets our investment criteria: a virtuous disruptive technology, sovereignty issues, and a strong expectation from the beauty market for this type of solution."says Alexis Gosset, Pochet's Director of Strategic Partnerships.

The aim of the collaboration between MagREEsource and the Pochet Group is to produce recycled magnets for the beauty industry in France, derived from the dismantling of obsolete equipment. This unique technology reduces the carbon footprint of a magnet by a factor of ten compared with conventional production. For the Group, this first investment marks the start of an ambitious collaboration dynamic, with other projects already in the pipeline.

"This bold move, given the current context, reflects the Pochet Group's DNA: it's our responsibility to support young French companies in order to preserve a competitive industry on our territory".says Xavier Gagey, Chairman of the Pochet Group.

MagREEsource, a CNRS start-up, offers patented technologies for the manufacture of permanent magnets based on rare earths. Its first site at Noyarey, an industrial and technological demonstrator since 2023, is a first step towards the construction of a MagFactory, the first sustainable permanent magnet factory in Europe with a capacity of 1000 t / year, which was designated a "European strategic project" by the European Commission in March 2025.

Pochet Participations invests in startups

The Pochet Group launches a venture capital structure under the name Pochet Participations to provide financial and commercial support for industrial start-ups.

This initiative illustrates the Group's commitment to identifying and supporting young companies with innovative technologies or services, while maintaining an active technology watch to offer these solutions to its customers.

Copaiba oil: a sustainable path for cosmetics innovations

copaïba

In the heart of the primary Amazon rainforest lies a remarkably valuable treasure of Brazilian socio-biodiversity: copaiba oil. A key component of modern cosmetics formulations, its harvesting methods have evolved from dispersed individual practices to more sustainable, community-supported extraction systems. 

"By linking forest conservation, community development and consumer products, we see how companies can create tangible value, protect natural resources and support local communities at the same time."says Clariant.

Copaiba oil's journey leads to innovative cosmetic ingredients that respect its origins while meeting modern performance standards. Products such as copaiba oil from Beraca, CBA, Triple A Organic and ADA show how ingredients from the forest can be transformed into solutions for today's conscious consumers.

This is reflected in Clariant's broader focus on health- and sustainability-conscious consumers and brands, as the company innovates to provide organically sourced ingredients that combine efficacy and responsible sourcing to meet the growing demand for wellness, transparency and sustainability.

Clariant points out that what makes copaiba oil particularly valuable in cosmetics is its rich composition of compounds that soothe the skin and help reduce irritation, making it an ideal ingredient to meet the needs of sensitive skin in search of well-being. In this way, it meets growing consumer demand for natural, effective skin care solutions.
