The professionally-inspired Pro Peeling Éclat brush mask from Thalgo's Spiruline boost line, enriched with acidic seaweed ferments with peel-like action, gives a new-skin effect and instantly relaxes the skin, according to its designers.

The product's On/Off system enables the formula to be dispensed and then, once closed, applied with a washable brush that can be separated for recycling. This patented system comes from Cosmogen's Squeeze'n Tint range.

Thalgo has also chosen Cosmogen's Ø 19 mm PE tube with an "ice cube" effect roll-on with three stainless steel balls for its Défatigant Regard treatment. In a single gesture, it smoothes away signs of fatigue, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness for instantly fresher-looking eyes, according to Thalgo.

Quadpack offers a complete range of exclusive applicators to accompany dip-in packaging.

To meet new trends in liquid formulas, beauty brands are looking for effective, innovative applicators.

Quadpack, the international manufacturer and supplier of beauty packaging, offers a complete range of dip-in solutions and applicators to meet virtually any need.

These application systems are the result of the work of Quadpack's Creative Hub, which brings together employees and innovation partners. Designed on the basis of market research, trend analysis, customer feedback, technical expertise and creativity, the applicators are distinguished by a combination of functionality and sensoriality. The range, which is in full development, incorporates classics, as well as exclusive patented designs that, according to Quadpack, "take make-up and skincare products to the next level."

"Classic flocked applicators are evolving. Among our collection of applicators, brands will discover new designs that add value to the formula and stimulate the consumer experience. We've designed original shapes inspired by nature. We also have metallic designs that provide a "cool touch" effect.says Mateia Crippa, Category Specialist at Quadpack. They all bring a touch of creativity to the application of the formula. Thanks to our mix-and-match strategy, we're able to support new gestures with a reduced investment for the brand."

The mix-and-match system for dip-in solutions consists of two steps: first selecting a bottle, then matching it with an applicator.

Quadpack's patented applicators include those for the Skin-Up Bottle:

• Centered, a model suitable for both high and low viscosity formulas: the leaf-shaped applicator features a central reservoir for applying the formula. Its clean, soft surface provides smooth, easy access to the lip contour. This model is suitable for both high and low viscosity formulas.
• 360, a facial applicator featuring a rounded tip on a flexible elliptical neck. This applicator features four product absorption zones and a localized application tip, so that the entire face can be covered without having to dip the applicator back into the bottle. Ideal for liquid foundations and concealers, according to Quadpack.
• Sorbet Touch is an applicator designed for low-viscosity foundations and blushes, allowing the formula to be absorbed and applied to lips and face without spilling a drop. Soft and flexible, its finger-like structure enables the product to be applied and blended without constraint for a high-definition result.
• Kimono features multiple absorption surfaces to apply the correct dose of foundation or concealer to the desired areas of the face, without having to dip the applicator back into the formula. This model features a rounded tip for rapid blending along contours, and a spatula-shaped surface for easy handling.

Other flocked applicators fit the Gala Lip Gloss bottle:

• Quadzone: this rigid, precise applicator, suitable for high-pigmentation formulas and modulable solutions, features blending properties for well-defined lines and controlled application. Four absorption zones ensure a fine layer of color and even product distribution.
• For layering looks involving a base and a finishing touch, Crush makes lip gloss application quick and effortless. The spoon shape features a double reservoir for thick coverage while maintaining even application. 
• Precise and flexible, Ace is a short applicator that glides over lips, leaving a veil of opaque color. Its concave, beveled reservoir allows pigments to flow from the tip to shape lips with ease.
• With Dicot, designed for low-viscosity lip glosses and lip oils, the product emerges from the reservoir without dripping, in a pleasant, soothing gesture. The wide face of the applicator ensures even coverage, while the defined tip allows precision work on the lip contour.
• Sorbet Kiss is a flexible applicator. The beveled felt tip glides over lips and cheeks for easy blending. A large-volume reservoir for low-viscosity, no-runoff formulas lets you create multiple touches of color.

Currently under development, the collection already includes over 40 applicators for a wide range of bottles. Quadpack can also meet specific specifications.

Interparfums relied on the expertise and know-how of FaiveleyTech to create the cap for the new Lacoste Original men's fragrance.

The Beauty business unit of FaiveleyTech, an international group of French origin specializing in high value-added plastic injection molding, has produced an intensely black polyamide cap with a high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish for Lacoste Original, Interparfums' new men's fragrance in a deliberately minimalist bottle.

The Lacoste logo, symbol of the brand, is engraved on the galvanized white bronze top. A ballast inside the top adds weight to the creation.

The design of this cap, in partnership with Interparfums teams, took into account environmental issues. To limit the product's carbon impact, the choice was made for a partially bio-sourced material, whose surface quality avoids the need for a varnish step. 

"We are very proud to have participated, alongside the brand's teams, in the development of this singular, masculine fragrance in the emblematic Lacoste colors."says Beryl Tomaschett, FaiveleyTech Orgelet Sales Manager.

This cap, produced in substantial volumes, was made for the 60 and 100 ml sizes of eau de parfum.

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.
