Effervescence Lab, formulation and sensoriality

Face

Under the impetus of Muriel Hibon, Effervescence Lab stands out for its creative and scientific approach to the creation of skincare, hygiene, make-up and technical products. 

Creating something new for each brand

Each project is treated individually. Effervescence Lab's aim is to be bold enough to create emotions and, in the company's words, "achieve perfection", from conception to product launch. 

For controlled success, the laboratory relies on its expertise in formulation and sensoriality, which has led to exclusive know-how in ultra-sensorial skincare textures.

Three collections unveiled

Tomorrow's challenge? A purist formula, using natural, renewable and biodegradable raw materials. A texture whose sensoriality contributes to an immersive experience, for which efficacy is based on a complex of vectorized active ingredients, guaranteeing safety of use and transparency for the consumer.

This year, Effervescence Lab unveils three collections: skincare textures, suncare products, cleansers and hybrid make-up organized around emerging sensory and conceptual trends.

Sublime uses ultra-sensorial formulas that appeal to positive emotions to reveal inner confidence and bring out radiant beauty. 

Hybride combines skincare and make-up for a sensorial product experience, "where the art of complexion is combined with the effectiveness of targeted care.

Finally, Essentia is a refined collection that draws its inspiration from elegant sobriety and embodies a return to the basics, where every substance has a meaning, every gesture an intention.

L'Armoire à beauté: a singular concept that redefines the codes of cosmetics retailing

Beauty cabinet

Hybrid, committed and rooted in reality, L'Armoire à beauté aims to reconnect "clean and desirable" brands with consumers, as close as possible to their daily lives, with over 200 corners set up throughout France in partner outlets (pharmacies and beauty salons) featuring products that combine effectiveness, sensoriality and ethics. Cut by Fred, Maison Matine, Madara, Nubiance, P.LAB: these brands invite themselves in for a few months... without passing through Paris. No algorithms here, just advice and in-store workshops. 

A springboard to impact for brands

Having been the springboard to success for Les Secrets de Loly, now referenced in major networks, L'Armoire à Beauté is preparing to launch Gaëlle Garcia Diaz's Martine Skin brand exclusively in pharmacies and beauty salons from September 2025.

A winning strategy for DNVB, who want to anchor their offline development in local circuits, as close as possible to consumers. Further proof that local is also a lever for growth.

A new site, a new beauty reflex

In addition to offering embodied, educational and desirable content on social networks, a new site now enables selected products to be purchased online, while remaining true to the brand's local spirit.

At the point of payment, customers choose a partner pharmacy or institute near them, which will receive a percentage of the order.

It's an initiative that supports local businesses, boosts their visibility, and creates a real win-win ecosystem, according to L'Armoire à beauté.

A committed founder

Aurore Humez-Leray wants beauty that is no longer dictated and made up of injunctions, and that represents a moment of pleasure in women's busy daily lives. Her team is 99 % feminine, expert, passionate, and present in the field every day.

With the redesign of its website, L'Armoire à Beauté unveils a powerful manifesto:

  • For beauty that's more alive and more sensorial
  • For advice from professionals, not chatbots
  • For informed, guilt-free beauty shopping
  • To restore links and experience in a world where everything seems automated!

"A cream that changes your mood, a lipstick you won't forget, advice gleaned from your favorite beautician: L'Armoire à Beauté puts real life back at the center of the beauty experience".the company says.

The material, composed of 92 % organic cotton and 8 % RPET Gots, with a grammage of 280 g/m², testifies to the brand's commitment to the environment. 

The originality of this pouch also lies in its two-tone "YOU + WE" embroidery, created on a stretch fabric, with a polyester thread carefully matched to the color of the fabric.

On the occasion of the Special Edition by Luxe Pack trade show dedicated to sustainability (July 1-2, Carrousel du Louvre, Paris), Baralan, a key player in primary packaging for the cosmetics industry, unveiled its latest innovations, which combine advanced technical performance, refined aesthetics and a strong commitment to sustainable development. 

When beauty becomes functional and inclusive

Baralan continues to develop its most emblematic innovations. Its 3D decoration is now available in new color gradations and finishes. The DEA line, its glass airless solution, confirms its avant-garde position. The introduction of a new spray pump, compatible with all alcohol- and fragrance-free formulas, further expands the range of applications.

Circularity and new materials

Baralan's commitment to sustainable design is reflected in refillable solutions and separable components for modular, responsible beauty. New products include "refill case" systems designed to hold several formulas, and internal cups for glass jars with hermetic caps, enabling separate formulations to be kept in the same container. The range also includes solutions for dynamic beauty rituals, such as sieves for loose powders.

It has been elegantly reinvented to extend its use to the make-up segment - historically dominated by plastic - with new glass bottles and jars, combined with innovative applicators for lips, eyes and complexion. The offer is also enhanced by mini formats ideal for travel kits, and a line of sophisticated, versatile roll-ons, featuring stainless steel balls for sensorial application.

Environmental commitment: all-plastic pumps and functional design

Baralan anticipates regulatory developments with ever more responsible solutions, such as its new all-plastic (PE and PP) pumps, which are fully recyclable and metal-free, as well as POM-free versions, in compliance with environmental directives such as the PPWR regulation. 

The design is also evolving, with sleek cylindrical lines and the new Whitney range: elegant bottles equipped with high-performance applicators for face and eye contour care.
