My Beacon presents Ephém, the first plastic-free connected label, designed to compost in 30 days and compatible with eco-responsible packaging.

The Ma Balise brand has launched a new range of connected labels, Ephém, to meet the growing demands for sustainability in the cosmetics industry. The labels are designed to be compostable under industrial and domestic conditions, while offering a robust alternative to conventional PVC labels, which take centuries to decompose.

By integrating Ephém into the Cahier Impulse FW27-28 from Carlin International, a benchmark player in trend notebooks, Ma Balise underlines the importance of a technology that erases cleanly. Each copy of the notebook physically contains this functional label, which can be scanned by smartphone. This approach comes at a time when the mandatory Digital Product Passport, which will identify and trace every cosmetic product, will come into force in 2027. Companies that adopt labels like Ephém will be ahead of this regulatory requirement, unlike those that continue to use less sustainable solutions.

Ephém has been certified for compostability and biodegradability by DIN CERTCO and TÜV Rheinland, and its recyclability in the paper stream has been validated by PTS Paper. This enables brands to inform their customers about the environmental impact of their products. « A clean beauty brand that connects its products with a plastic chip is like serving an organic meal in Styrofoam packaging. The intention is there. The consistency isn't. »says Philippe Hénin, founder of Ma Balise.

The Beauty Box collection from Rissmann offers a fresh approach to cosmetics packaging, combining aesthetics and functionality to enrich the customer experience.

Beauty Box is a collection of two-in-one gift boxes, 100 % FSC paper, whose opening mechanism is the focal point of development and customer experience. Conceived as both a gift box and integrated display solution, its engineering invites a fluid, controlled gesture, bringing a sense of discovery. On opening, a discreet lever-action mechanism is activated: the inner tray tilts, elegantly revealing the products.

Without artifice, the box is transformed into a presentation tool, making the moment of discovery scenographic, intentional and memorable. «« This collection is part of a context in which the art of giving and the pleasure of receiving are inseparable from the luxury experience. The ceremonial, the gesture and the rhythm of revelation all play their part in the perception of value. With Beauty Box, packaging goes beyond its primary function to become a vector of emotion, at the service of brand storytelling. »explains Marianne Wenzel, Director of Innovation at Rissmann.

The collection is available in three formats for perfumes, beauty products and make-up, as well as jewelry, charms and precious accessories. Each format retains its uniqueness, while maintaining a consistent, contemporary and refined visual identity common to the entire trilogy.

Rissmann's commitment to sustainable development is reflected in the manufacture of the boxes. The outside is covered with Icon Glam Sand White paper, while the inside is made of Icon Glam Metallic Pastel Brown, both fully customizable. « This collection underlines our determination to reduce our ecological footprint. We focus on the rational use of FSC-certified materials. »says Marianne Wenzel.

Perfect Corp. enhances Keensight's 3D aesthetic medicine consultation experience with its AI-based skin analysis API. Keensight's Lummitry platform now offers AI-based 3D skin analysis capabilities to improve consultation accuracy, efficiency and patient confidence.

3D modeling and AI analysis: digitizing consultations

Keensight has integrated Perfect Corp.'s AI skin analysis capabilities into the Lummitry application via Perfect Corp.'s advanced AI API. Previously, traditional consultations relied on 2D images or verbal explanations, leading to misunderstandings between patients and medical staff.

The integration of Perfect Corp. technology has delivered tangible results, with some customers reporting an average increase of over 50 % in their consultation conversion rate. What's more, objective data analysis has streamlined the consultation process, reducing the time patients need to make decisions and significantly improving the overall operational efficiency of healthcare professionals.

" Perfect Corp.'s AI technology offers world-class accuracy and stability, making it the ideal choice for optimizing our 3D viewing experience, » said Hyunsoo Cho and Joseph Kim, co-founders of Keensight. « Beyond its simple functionalities, it constitutes a powerful AI infrastructure that accelerates the digital transformation of companies. "

" Our collaboration with Keensight is a perfect example of how Perfect Corp.'s AI analysis technology can maximize customer value within an innovative 3D modeling environment. », said Alice Chang, founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. « We will continue to extend the reach of our AI technology through partnerships in various sectors. "

Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to integrate a wider range of AI functionalities into the 3D consultation experience to set a new standard in the global medical and beauty markets. This solution aims to establish itself as the benchmark for high-precision digital consultation, eliminating language and hardware barriers - a major asset for medical facilities with large numbers of international patients.

A resilient, competitive market

The global market for Bag-on-Valve (BOV) valves and systems in the beauty industry is showing a solid recovery after a post-COVID slowdown. Growth prospects remain favorable, thanks in particular to the dynamism of the hair care sector. This growth is stimulated by consumers' ever-increasing demands for safety, practicality and sensoriality.

Eastman announced the launch of Kalidex, a biodegradable foaming and thickening agent, at in-cosmetics Global 2026.

Expanscience unveils Osmolya, a naturally-derived active ingredient optimizing cellular hydration, at In-Cosmetics Global 2026.

At In-Cosmetics Global 2026, Laboratoires Expanscience are presenting Osmolya, a new bio-inspired active ingredient designed to boost skin and hair hydration. This extract, found in Iresine weberbaueri, a plant endemic to Peru, is designed to improve cellular osmoregulation.

A bio-inspired active ingredient to meet modern hydration challenges

Osmolya is a water-soluble extract rich in betaine (≥13%) and polyphenols (≥6%), key molecules in the protection against osmotic, oxidative and inflammatory stress. Like Iresine w. Osmolya :

  • activates cellular response to osmotic stress
  • increases expression and production of osmolyte transporters (TAUT, SMIT and BGT1)
  • improves the skin barrier, by stimulating its key markers (HAS3, TGAS1, involucrin) and increasing the expression of occludin
  • reduces osmotic stress-induced cell damage, significantly reducing inflammation and oxidative stress

This triple action positions Osmolya as an active ingredient capable of meeting the growing need for cellular hydration.

Proven effectiveness on the skin

Clinical studies carried out on a multi-ethnic panel reveal that Osmolya at 2% improves skin hydration from the very first hour, with lasting results over time. These results were confirmed by corneometry evaluations and PIE analysis on the face. Evaluations also show a reduction in dryness, desquamation and roughness.

Analyses also show a significant improvement in the thickness of the stratum corneum, measured by Raman spectroscopy, confirming its role in strengthening the skin barrier. Volunteers reported an increased perception of hydration as early as 3 days, confirmed after 28 days of use.

Proven effectiveness on hair, too

Osmolya also acts on the hair fiber thanks to its richness in osmolytes and polyphenols:

  • moisturizes hair from within, increasing the fraction of water strongly bound to the hair fiber
  • strengthens hair fiber
  • significantly reduces frizz and improves curl definition on type 3A strands

Compliant with Cosmos and Natrue standards, Osmolya meets international standards for naturalness, quality and transparency, guaranteeing that the ingredient is derived from natural raw materials and transformed using environmentally-friendly processes.

An innovation perfectly aligned with Expanscience's CSR vision

Armelle Le Peniec, Director of Cosmetic and Nutraceutical Assets at Laboratoires Expanscience, says: « Thanks to its bio-inspired nature and multi-benefit efficacy, Osmolya embodies Laboratoires Expanscience's ambition to develop eco-designed active ingredients for well-being that are increasingly inspired by nature and the living world. "
