Naturals Corner - Nelixia

The perfumery industry will gather in Geneva from June 24 to 27, 2024, for the World Perfumery Congress (WPC).

For the first time, seven major producers of natural ingredients from around the world will join forces to share their values and commitment.

Designed and organized by Resperfuma, the Naturals Corner will feature Agroforex Company (Benjoin and Aquilaria from Laos), Enio Bonchev (Rose Damascena from Bulgaria), Jacarandas (Ylang Ylang from Madagascar), Jasmine CE.Pvt.Ltd. (vetiver and flowers from India), Nelixia (guaiac wood from Paraguay, cardamom from Guatemala, ...), SCA3P (lavender and perfume plants from France) and Verger (cinnamon, black pepper and spices from Sri Lanka).

These small and medium-sized companies operate in different contexts, but are all seeking to improve their practices and manage demanding third-party certifications.

They have a deep understanding of the communities they work directly with, take action to preserve nature and biodiversity in their regions, and invest in state-of-the-art industrial facilities to produce the highest quality natural ingredients that make up the creative palette of the most sustainable perfumers.

Founded in 1992, Agroforex specializes in adding value to local natural resources, from primary processing to export. In Laos, Agroforex is committed to the sustainable and responsible production of benzoin and aquilaria (agarwood).

Enio Bonchev is a Bulgarian family business that has been growing Bulgaria's two most traditional oil-producing plants, rose (Bulgarian Rosa Damascena) and lavender, since 1909.  

As a producer of aromatic raw materials and essential oils, Jacarandas International creates certified farmers' supply chains for emblematic ingredients from the island of Madagascar, such as ylang-ylang and pink berries. 

Jasmine Concrete Exports Private Limited is a family business established in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, since 1991. Initially a producer of grandiflorum, the company has since become a manufacturer of floral extracts and natural extracts based on oils, resins, herbs, spices and extracts of roots, barks, seeds, leaves and gums. 

In particular, it has played a leading role in the production of vetiver in India.

Based in Latin America, Nelixia produces 100 % natural ingredients such as essential oils, concretes, resinoids, spices and herbs. In particular, it will be showcasing guaiac wood from Paraguay and cardamom from Guatemala.

The Société coopérative agricole des plantes à parfum de Provence (SCA3P), founded in 1979 in Provence, is a cooperative of over 200 member producers. It offers its customers pure and natural French 100 % essential oils, conventional and organic, produced in France with respect for the environment and sold without intermediaries to ensure fair remuneration for producers. 

Fascinated and inspired by the earth's natural resources, Verger focuses on the ethical sourcing and sustainable growth of natural extracts, bringing them to the world. At WPC 2024, the company will be showcasing black pepper and spices from Sri Lanka, as well as its flagship ingredient "Ceylon cinnamon" and its biochemical composition.

The voices of the seven companies present at Naturals Corner will be heard by Elisa Aragon (Nelixia), Filip Lissicharov (Enio Bonchev) and Raja Palaniswamy (Jasmine CE PVT) at a conference hosted by Dominique Roques, founder of Balsam Consulting, on Wednesday June 26. On this occasion, they will discuss the question: " Naturals: what does it take to source sustainably? "

A new dropper experience

Aptar Beauty NeoDropper

Aptar Beauty presents NeoDroppe, a dropper that reinvents precision skincare and enhances the consumer experience. 

NeoDropper was born out of a desire to improve the user experience of the dropper format.

Omnipresent in all segments of the beauty market, from the mass market to the most prestigious, droppers have the disadvantage of a dispensing technology that has changed little in over a century. Aptar Beauty has sought to respond to the criticisms expressed by consumers about classic dropper packs in terms of formula protection, practicality and cleanliness. 

A well-protected formula

According to Aptar Beauty, NeoDropper offers enhanced formula protection and greater control during application.

The applicator never comes into direct contact with the formula in the bottle, preventing it from being retro-contaminated by bacteria. Aptar Beauty reports that den

 Rigorous laboratory tests have confirmed NeoDropper's effectiveness in preserving product integrity. What's more, a unique system prevents the product from leaking, even if the bottle is turned upside down.

Better dosage control

Gesture intuitiveness has been preserved, while innovation has been brought to the precision and cleanliness of application. NeoDropper is designed to deliver just the right amount: when the bulb is pressed, the formula rises in the dip tube and fills the applicator. The dose is ready to dispense when the bulb is pressed again.

Customization options

Tinted anodizing, double anodizing, brushed effect, silk-screen printing, lacquering and more. The top and bottom rings are fully customizable to meet any brand's personalization needs.

The bulb can also be customized - in color and finish, right up to metallization. 

NeoDropper can be combined with classic dropper bottles already on the market. Aptar Beauty has selected the Oslo bottle from the new Heinz Glas range.

TNT GROUP - Patrick Ng - 吴盛铨 - Shanghai Office

TNT Group develops high-end products in metal - zamak, aluminum, brass, stainless steel - and plastic for the perfume, cosmetics and make-up industries. Historically and structurally based in Europe (Paris) and Asia (Hong Kong), the company has also had an office in the United States since 2017. 

In 2023, given the dynamism of the Chinese market with its specific codes, TNT Group opened a branch in Shanghai, under the responsibility of Patrick Ng. 

Patrick Ng has over 25 years' operational experience in the cosmetics packaging industry, from both brand (Coty, Avon) and manufacturer perspectives. He will draw on his international and domestic network, his business development skills and his intrinsic knowledge of China to create lasting relationships of trust between TNT Group and locally-established Chinese and international beauty brands.

"TNT Group positions itself as an expert in engineering and design, mastering the constraints of complex packaging development, the translation of creative specifications into technical and industrial projects, and relations with brands, to deliver a finished product of the highest quality, on time. And so I'm the point of contact for brands in China.explains Patrick Ng. I work closely with TNT Group's design office in Hong Kong, which has direct links with our local industrial partners. Our aim is to ensure proximity and responsiveness on familiar ground for our customers. What's more, our connection with the Paris and New York offices enables us to bridge continents if necessary, with perfect awareness and knowledge of the specific features of different markets."

TNT Group intends to position itself as a leading partner for the many brands emerging in the Chinese market. "Many new brands are emerging in China, and fast at that. Their challenge is to win the trust of consumers, which in the Chinese market means launching a new product right the first time, usually within a very short timeframe. To meet this challenge, it's essential to enlist the help of seasoned, reliable partners who will produce at a regular, consistent level of quality and secure supplies. This is what we assure them".says Patrick Ng.

Under the leadership of Patrick Ng, TNT Group exhibited for the first time at Luxe Pack Shanghai last April.

900.care Deodorant

900.care, a specialist in eco-responsible hygiene, has developed a refillable roll-on deodorant in its Paris R&D laboratory.

900.care, a young French brand specializing in refillable hygiene products, has announced the launch of an original roll-on deodorant: eco-responsible, it can be reconstituted and refilled. 

When a customer buys a deodorant online, they receive a stick with which to create 50 ml of deodorant, followed by refills delivered by post at the frequency of their choice.

An innovative laboratory

The new product was designed and developed in 900.care's research and formulation laboratory in the heart of Paris. According to the company, the startup thus sets itself apart from the majority of cosmetics startups who prefer to outsource their R&D.

"This also enables continuous improvement of current products and a reduction in development cycle times. Compared with large groups, 900.care has a much shorter development cycle, down from 36 months to 18."the company says. 

After receiving product briefs and testing the first formulations, the laboratory team works in-house to achieve a rating of over 4.5/5. A community of 100 beta-testers is also called on to give feedback on the products, with the same exacting standards.

"It's important for us to design products that are both eco-responsible and respectful of our customers' skin. Developing our products in-house allows us not only to avoid outsourcing research and provide total transparency, but also to develop formulas using raw materials from sustainable and ethical production."explains Paula Montan, Product Development Manager at 900.care.

Numerous additional tests are carried out (stability, friability, ageing, etc.), as well as industrial transposition tests.

Laboratoires Pierre Fabre - Responsible digital label

A committee of independent experts convened by the Lucie agency, which specializes in the management of CSR labels, has awarded the highest level of the Responsible Digital label to Laboratoires Pierre Fabre for their commitment to a more environmentally-friendly and supportive digital environment. The label is based on a set of guidelines developed by the Institut du numérique responsable (INR) in partnership with the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, Ademe and France IT.

An audit was carried out in early 2024. On this occasion, Pierre Fabre Laboratories were able to provide evidence of the positive impact of their approach in favor of a more responsible digital environment, through the many projects deployed over the past five years. Pierre Fabre Laboratories also reports that the labeling committee's decision was also motivated by the firm commitments made by Pierre Fabre Laboratories to pursue and amplify their efforts between now and 2027.

"Pierre Fabre Laboratories embody the very essence of digital responsibility. Although their digital footprint weighs modestly in their overall environmental balance sheet, their commitment to ethical, accessible and responsible digital is sincere. I was pleasantly surprised by all the platforms deployed both internally for their employees and externally for patients and consumers. I hope that this label obtained by Pierre Fabre Laboratories, thanks to their international influence, will inspire other players in this sector".said the independent auditor appointed by Bureau Veritas.

Since the launch in 2019 of its CSR and naturalness approach called Green Mission, Pierre Fabre has made responsible digital a priority based on three axes: improving the environmental impact of its digital activities and IT infrastructures, using digital as a vector for improving the quality of life of patients and consumers and, finally, making digital tools and media accessible to all, particularly the company's employees. 

"We are very proud to become the first international company to obtain the highest level of the Responsible Digital Label. We will continue to work hand in hand with the Information Systems and Digital departments to ensure that this responsible digital approach is fully in line with the company's strategic roadmap and CSR commitments".emphasized Florence Guillaume, Green Mission Pierre Fabre Director.

Among the initiatives implemented and praised by the audit report is IT4Good, designed to innovate in the service of the health and well-being of patients and consumers. Digital technology is being used as a lever to improve knowledge of patients' pathologies and needs, and to deploy digital solutions to improve their health and well-being.

The company also encourages individual initiatives in the area of digital responsibility during working hours.

Emphasis is also placed on digital equipment: Epeat, Energy Star or Blue Angel are the labelled equipment used by Pierre Fabre Laboratories. EcoVadis-certified suppliers are preferred. The telephony policy takes into account the reparability of equipment.

A number of commitments have been made for the period 2025-2027, in particular :

- Continued acculturation and training of employees and partners in digital responsibility (training of business experts in digital eco-design, training of in-house facilitators in the Fresque du numérique, involvement with schools and associations as part of the company's solidarity leave program);

- Improving the accessibility and eco-design of digital solutions developed by the company and its brands (particularly websites);

- Implementing a responsible purchasing policy for IT equipment and service providers, by training buyers and communicating the approach to partners;

- Extending the lifespan of IT equipment beyond manufacturers' recommendations to combat programmed obsolescence;

- Integrating responsible digital best practices with the new uses of data and AI.

"We are convinced that digital technology represents a strategic lever for the development of our company, but also a major issue in terms of environmental and social impact. We are increasingly exploiting the potential of technology and data to serve patients and consumers. For example, for each of our dermo-cosmetic products, we consolidate hundreds of pieces of data present in our information systems to automatically calculate and display its Green Impact Index 1 on brand websites".said Olivier Siegler, Director of Digital Acceleration and Information Systems.
