Cosmetic innovation: Timeless Lips by Bruno Vassari

Bruno Vassari launches Timeless Lips, a spray-on anti-aging balm for lips and lip contours.

When it comes to anti-aging skincare, lips are rarely considered a priority. However, this area is particularly revealing of the passage of time. Thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, lip skin contains fewer protective lipids and retains less moisture, making it more prone to dehydration and the appearance of fine lines. What's more, exposure to cold, wind, pollution and UV rays accelerates volume loss and reduces lip contour definition.

To meet this need, Bruno Vassari, a Spanish professional skincare brand, introduces Timeless Lips - Plumping and Moisturizing Peptide Balm. This anti-aging balm combines science and comfort to visibly improve lip quality. Its advanced formula includes new-generation peptides and highly moisturizing active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention and optimize lip tissue structure. The result is softer, better hydrated and visibly healthier lips. At the same time, it provides a natural plumping effect that redefines lip contours and reduces the appearance of fine lines, achieving a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Unlike most lip volumizing products, which rely on irritating mechanisms such as reactive vasodilation - causing slight swelling often accompanied by tingling or burning sensations - Timeless Lips takes a physiological approach. Its technology acts directly on the quality of lip tissue, stimulating key skin processes to progressively improve lip density and volume without causing irritation or discomfort. This approach guarantees a more natural, comfortable and long-lasting result.

From the very first application, lips appear smoother, brighter and more comfortable. With continued use, there is a gradual improvement in surface texture, an increase in volume, a visible reduction in vertical lines and an overall improvement in density and uniformity.

site-industries-cosmetiques Two people kiss and smile at each other on a red pedestrian bridge. The text reads: "Beyond beauty: Authentic+. Just You. Unlock the emotional dimension". The BASF and "in-cosmetics global" logos are visible. A button reads "Learn more".

BASF unveils its «Beyond Beauty: Authentic+» concept, focused on authenticity and emotional well-being, at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris.

In a world where digital beauty filters can instantly create idealized images, BASF's «Beyond Beauty: Authentic+» concept, presented at in-cosmetics Global in Paris, invites a return to authenticity. « At BASF, we believe that personal care should help everyone feel good about their bodies, beyond any digital ideal. »says Boris Gaspar, Head of Market Development Personal Care EMEA. « With Authentic+, we redefine beauty as a deeply personal and emotional experience, drawing on our historical expertise in sensory analysis and new emotion-based approaches. "

A return to authenticity

Rather than competing with digital image manipulation, BASF promotes personal care that takes into account the overall health of the individual. The products combine sensory rituals and experiences that reinforce self-confidence, while enhancing individuality. The «+» in Authentic+ symbolizes the emotional dimension, with formulations designed to elicit genuine emotions, a sense of connection and self-esteem. Unique textures, such as lotion-to-powder emulsions and water-based massage oils, transform daily routines into skincare rituals, encouraging everyone to embrace their true identity.

BASF is also launching two new products at the show:

- Plantigenix Bisabolol: a biotechnological active ingredient offering high purity and soothing properties. Produced by fermentation, it meets the growing demand for natural cosmetics focusing on well-being and skin comfort. Its manufacturing process guarantees consistent purity while reducing pressure on natural resources. - Uvinul T 150 X EcoBalanced: the first UV filter in BASF's Biomass Balance (BMB) version, this product offers a reduced carbon footprint by replacing fossil raw materials with renewable resources, while maintaining the same efficiency as conventional versions.

site-industries-cosmetiques Three bottles of Fiabila nail polish are displayed on white pedestals in front of a large orange circle, illustrating major innovations in minimalist packaging. These bottles—«Nude Veil,» «Color Shield,» and «Base & Top»—offer a glimpse into the trends at the 2026 Cosmoprof trade show.

Fiabila unveils technological advances in nail care and polish, redefining the standards of nail color & care.

At the Cosmoprof 2026 event, Fiabila presented four innovations that are transforming the design of beauty products for nails.

4IN1 Nail Care Remover: nail polish remover rehabilitated as a care product

Fiabila introduces the first 4-in-1 «mochi» gel remover, designed as a skincare step. This hybrid product combines the functions of remover, mask, scrub and primer, transforming removal into a genuine skincare ritual. Its 98.5 % natural-origin formula, enriched with vegetable oils and keratin, respects and strengthens the nail.

Nail'N'Hair Milky Serum: an innovation for nails & hair

Fiabila has achieved a world first with the creation of a unique formula dedicated to nails and hair. This multi-functional treatment combines ceramides, fatty acids, argan oil and marine complexes to strengthen, nourish and protect in a single step. Its light, non-greasy texture meets consumers' expectations for simplicity and effectiveness.

SPF50+ Color Shield Nail Polish: nail polish becomes a sun shield

This innovation is the first integrated color varnish with SPF50+ sun protection. Thanks to UVA/UVB technology combined with antioxidant marine extracts, the formula protects keratin against oxidation. This launch ushers in a new era in which color also becomes a gesture of protection.

2-Step Next Gen G.E.L: the first UV gel in a twist pen

Fiabila presents the 2-Step Next Gen G.E.L, a system in twist pen format that simplifies application. The system combines two coats of color and a no-wipe top coat in just two steps. Its technology ensures up to three weeks« hold, guaranteeing precise, clean application.

Aptar Beauty and Clarins launch Double Serum Foundation

Clarins presents the Double Serum Foundation, combining skin benefits and make-up, in iconic packaging reinvented by Clarins. Aptar.

Following the launch of Double Serum in 2024, Clarins unveils Doube Sérum Fond de Teint. This innovation uses the same packaging as the best-selling product, with two-in-one dispensing technology and progressive dosage.

Consumers are increasingly looking for skincare benefits in their make-up formulas. The «skinification» trend is emerging as a key market driver, with 94 % of US make-up consumers using products offering skin benefits in 2024. The most sought-after benefits include hydration, SPF protection and anti-wrinkle action.

Double Serum Foundation uses patented dual-chamber packaging for two-in-one dispensing, separating 70 % of make-up formula from 30 % of hydrous phase. This guarantees optimum compatibility during application. The adjustable dial enables progressive dosing of the 37 shades on offer, reducing waste. The metallized design features a locking system and incorporates 38 % of recycled materials, according to Clarins.

The Ephém label, a sustainable solution for cosmetics

site-industries-cosmetiques A magazine presents various images of paper products and packaging. In the center, an orange label for "MBALISE" smart paper labels, with product details and sustainability and technology icons.

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.
