Alleria - Mine Perfume Lab - GM Group

Groupe GM, a global specialist in hospitality products, has announced its collaboration with Mine Perfume Lab, an Italian perfume house known for its quality products, artisanal influences and expertise. 

The Mine Perfume Lab hotel line, created in collaboration with Groupe GM, embodies, according to its designers, "handcrafted perfection at the heart of the brand.

The fragrance in the Alleria range features top notes of rose, seawater, lilac and jasmine, middle notes of patchouli and base notes of musk, tonka bean and vanilla. The idea: to capture the freshness of the sea and evoke the lightness of a sunny breeze.

The line's aesthetic is characterized by a modern, minimalist design with monochromatic color palettes and clean, elegant lines.

Ecodesign

The Mine Perfume Lab hotel line contains up to 98 % of naturally-sourced ingredients, and offers 30 ml sugarcane-based products with recycled plastic caps, including shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion.

To further guarantee safety and minimize environmental impact, the hotel line also includes the clean and safe EcoFill large-format dispenser, with sealed refill pouches for liquid soap and bath gels, which guarantee product origin and traceability while preventing bacterial contamination.

The 400 ml Ghost dispenser made from sugarcane is also part of the range. This 400 ml dispenser, mounted on a hidden rail, creates the illusion that the product is levitating. 

Engraved solid soaps, made from responsible materials, complete the range.

The Mine Perfume Lab hotel range reflects the eco-responsible commitment of Groupe GM and its Care about Earth program. 

As a supplier of hospitality products, GM Group prioritizes the use of green resources, promotes reuse and the reduction of single-use plastics. Ecodesign is at the heart of its program to significantly reduce waste and the use of scarce resources.

"We are delighted to be working with an innovative fragrance brand like Mine Perfume Lab to introduce more environmentally friendly hospitality products to our guests, while meeting the level of sophistication and quality expected of GM Group. This line deeply reflects the core values of both our companies and enables hotels worldwide to pamper their guests with carefully crafted hospitality products, with a strong personal touch and attention to detail."says Laurent Marchand, President of Groupe GM.

Celsis Adapt Express

Charles River Laboratories has announced the launch of Celsis Adapt Express, the latest addition to its range of Celsis microbial detection instruments.

The Celsis Adapt Express sample preparation system, coupled with the Celsis amplified ATP-bioluminescence testing platform, enables microbial detection in up to eight hours. 

According to Charles River Laboratories, Celsis Adapt Express overcomes the limitations of conventional ATP-based and other rapid microbiological methods, which are often unable to deliver such results due to interfering chemicals or the slow growth of certain problematic microorganisms. By eliminating interfering chemicals and concentrating microbial cells in the sample, ATP-bioluminescence detection can be much faster.

Celsis Adapt Express has undergone rigorous compatibility testing with a variety of products and raw materials such as mouthwashes, shampoos and conditioners, lotions, cosmetics, detergents, hard-surface cleaners, wipes and more. 

Sugar beet and prune, alternatives to salicylic acid

Traditional salicylic acid seduces with its effective properties in fighting acne, controlling excessive sebum production and promoting smoother skin. However, it can irritate the skin - although today's market tends to favor gentler forms of skincare - and, despite testing, is subject to strict regulations depending on the country of residence.

In the USA, skin care and dermatology products often feature higher percentages of salicylic acid. In Europe, on the other hand, there is a deep-rooted cultural resistance to salicylic acid. This stems from its historical use as a component of cheap wine in the 1800s. In Asian markets, salicylic acid is not in itself a major problem, but care must be taken to ensure that there are no undeclared ingredients or residues, as the market is subject to stringent regulations. 

As an international company, Active Concepts saw an opportunity to offer an alternative to salicylic acid, without compromising its efficacy, using organic acids found in ethically and organically farmed sugar beet and prunes.

Benzoic acid has certain similarities with salicylic acid due to its lipophilic nature, which enables it to remove intercellular lipids for successful exfoliation. However, it also possesses distinctive properties such as antimicrobial and antifungal properties, making it particularly effective in combating acne and other skin infections. Succinic acid's popularity is emerging in the personal care sector. Unlike salicylic acid, which focuses primarily on exfoliation, succinic acid's anti-inflammatory properties make it suitable for sensitive skin types and are known to promote collagen synthesis.

This combination of organic acids sustainably derived from sugar beet and agriculturally grown prunes offers formulators and skincare enthusiasts a wider range of options and the ability to tailor treatments to individual needs. According to Active Concepts, its new ingredient - ACB Sal-Vation - delivers optimal results while minimizing the inconvenience of regulations and potentially skin-irritating side effects.

Bormioli Luigi collaborates with Scent of Africa

Bormioli Luigi - Scent of Africa

Scent of Africa is an African perfume house of Ghanaian origin. The brand showcases its continent through its Eternal Legends collection. Signed by great perfumers such as Nathalie Cetto, Olivier Pescheux and Delphine Lebeau, this collection brings out the olfactory terroirs of Africa through assertive feminine and masculine accents. 

"Through Scent of Africa, I wanted to honor Africa and its peoples, the generosity of a continent and the strong sense of belonging of its inhabitants."explains Tanal Ghandour, the brand's founder. Ginger from Nigeria, incense from Somalia, geranium and jasmine from Egypt, buchu leaf from South Africa... give birth to heady fragrances, dear to African culture. 

The collection revolves around male-female duets, such as Rakh and Nefee, Hagé and Laïka, Bellua and Bézi and now Fik and Gleti. It expresses African mythology through a contemporary tribute to local divinities. 

A complex bottle and cap design

Bormioli Luigi has put its experience and industrial expertise at the service of a demanding development. The bottle, initially created in a 50 ml format, is the fruit of a specific design. The decoration, with its multiple metallic, opaque and transparent shades, is created using an exterior lacquer that reveals a subtle gradient effect. This is combined with a pearlescent and glossy hot stamping finish, the effects of which distinguish between feminine and masculine fragrances. One of the main difficulties encountered during development was to harmonize the colors of the bottle and cap, while respecting their balance.

Another challenge was to apply hot stamping to the conical bottle. The cap evokes the shape of Africa, and the brand logo is inspired by the Sankofa symbol which, for the Akan people, means "return to" and symbolizes a return to one's roots.

The brand will launch a second range inspired by African materials and rituals in 2025, targeting the American and European markets.

CSR: Be Cause, a platform for corporate stakeholder engagement

Be Cause Platform - CSR

The Be Cause platform enables companies to integrate their employees and customers into their CSR approach, taking into account the values and sensitivities of each.

Via the platform, companies can include a variety of stakeholders in a collaborative approach, aligned with shared corporate social responsibility objectives. Be Cause offers customized solutions to meet the specific needs of each company, making giving and engagement a collective action alongside the business.

A collective approach to CSR 

Be Cause was born of an observation: corporate CSR strategies are often poorly perceived by employees. It can be equated with Greenwashing by employees, due to their lack of involvement in the decision-making process. The same feeling can be observed among customers.

According to a study by Odoxa, 92 % of French people consider CSR to be an important issue for companies, and 31 % even think it should be a priority. However, only 15 % of French employees feel fully involved in this approach. What's more, customers currently have no say in a company's CSR strategy, and are dependent on internal decisions, with no opportunity to have their say.

Involving all stakeholders 

Be cause is positioned as a tool offering the possibility of actively involving stakeholders in the CSR approach. The platform enables customers to engage with the company before, during and after the purchasing experience, and empowers employees to use part of the CSR budget according to their own sensitivities. Thanks to the good deeds purchase system, each employee and customer can track the impact of their choices. Their profile thus becomes a measure of positive impact.

For the company, each individual employee impact is consolidated into a collective positive impact sheet. The company can thus say: "Thanks to our employees, we have helped to plant X number of trees, distribute X number of meals...". These concrete, tangible results can be integrated into the CSR report.

"Be Cause transforms corporate social responsibility into a shared, concrete and measurable approach, strengthening the commitment of employees and customers while meeting today's CSR challenges."emphasize the platform's designers.

Futura - Fedrigoni

At the Nuit du Papier event held in Paris on April 4, 2024, Pap Argus magazine presented its Pap'Awards for innovation, initiative and excellence. The Fedrigoni Group won the circularity award for its Futura paper. 

The Futura range of papers is based on the recovery of textile waste from the Albini brand, one of the Group's customers. It comes in two grammages, 115 and 300 gr, and meets the technical requirements of printing and packaging. 

Paper made through upcycling

"This second life project allows us to reduce the amount of virgin pulp in production by recovering textile by-products destined for disposal, while optimizing the energy and emissions of each production process."explains Celine Bertuzzi, Marketing Director Fedrigoni Special Papers. 

Major investments

Fedrigoni has invested heavily in research and development in order to succeed in its challenge and achieve high technical and aesthetic properties.

The process begins with the sorting of off-cuts, either from the weaving process or from the sampling and quality control department, which are frayed and then dusted. The cotton is then added by Fedrigoni to the cellulose mixture to obtain a cardboard used to create various communication supports. The recovery of mercerized cotton waste, which is very difficult to process with traditional industrial equipment, required a great deal of innovation to produce a rigid tissue paper that is both soft and durable, says the manufacturer.

Chanel: a joint laboratory with public research

site-industries-cosmetiques A group of nine people stand behind a table with documents on it, posing for a photo. They are dressed in street clothes and stand in front of banners from various organizations, including Chanel, CNRS and Cosmetic Valley. This collaborative event underlines the importance of public research and the joint laboratory.

On June 6, 2024, Chanel Parfums Beauté, the CNRS, the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes (ENSCR) and the University of Rennes inaugurated a joint laboratory in Rennes, called "Iccare" for Innovative Cosmetics for Care.

The aim of this laboratory, financed by the French National Research Agency (ANR), is to innovate in the field of cosmetics to meet the challenges of eco-design, by pooling the skills of Chanel Parfums Beauté in the development and industrialization of cosmetic products with those in synthesis, catalysis and green chemistry of scientists at the Rennes Institute of Chemical Sciences (CNRS/ENSCR/Université de Rennes).

CNRS points out that cosmetics are the second largest contributor to France's trade balance, with 60 % of production exported, representing a market worth €30.4 billion.1 . 

However, to maintain the popularity of French cosmetics, it is vital to provide consumers with constant, well-informed innovation, and to maintain product safety in the light of evolving scientific knowledge, the environmental context and current regulations.

Ecodesign, which aims to improve the life cycle of finished products, has become a major concern.

In order to overcome major technological hurdles, the teams involved in this research-industry collaboration will focus on two areas of research:

- The design and production of new inorganic pigments, essential ingredients in make-up as they constitute the colorimetric composition of shades,

- the production of agro-sourced waxes from non-food vegetable oil using processes with low environmental impact.

"CNRS is delighted to have signed the first joint laboratory agreement with Chanel Parfums Beauté, a flexible and sustainable form of partnership between public and private players. This creation is the result of a relationship of trust established with Chanel Parfums Beauté over the last ten years, around a common scientific challenge: inventing the cosmetics of tomorrow. More specifically, Iccare aims to design more effective, eco-designed cosmetics, in line with the CNRS's major challenges, including that of participating in the environmental transition".emphasizes Jean-Luc Moullet, Deputy Director General for Innovation at CNRS.

"Chanel R&D's collaboration with public scientific research partners is essential if we are to continue to create innovative products in tune with the times. Thanks to this joint laboratory, we can pool our expertise, scientific knowledge and know-how to develop future generations of raw materials. This is a scientific, human and responsible project that contributes to the dynamic of continuous improvement essential to meeting the future challenges of industry in general".says Nathalie Volpe, Director of Innovation, Research and Development at Chanel Parfums Beauté.

"The ANR's LabCom program is designed to strengthen research partnerships between the public and private sectors, and is part of the Agency's overall approach to supporting innovation. All of this is motivated by the need to support socio-economic players and companies to make them more competitive and better able to meet the challenges of transition. We are therefore delighted with the creation of LabCom ICCARE, which will enable research teams from the CNRS, the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes and the Université de Rennes to work with those of Chanel Parfums Beauté to design the cosmetics of tomorrow.points out Dominique Dunon-Bluteau, Director of Scientific Operations at the ANR.
