Fighting the crisis

Several global players changed their production from skin care to disinfectants or masks or had added that to their regular production. What are the reasons for that? Belinda Carli is talking about the impact of the corona pandemic on the cosmetic industry.

PCR is the key

Sustainability, hygiene, new materials – the requirements on cosmetic containers are different but always quite high. Dominic Bakic knows what is important today and what is expected of packaging in future.

In balance with sustainability

Consumers ask more and more for sustainable products. But that does not only mean using recycled packaging. The production process also plays an important role. A new active ingredient shows how this need can be met in hair care.

Wheat power

The demand for natural ingredients is growing in hair care. Researchers have found that wheat proteins can replace chemicals that pollute the environment. Specialists look at this and the most innovative trends in personal care now.

Corona care products?

The CoVid-19 pandemic imposes special tasks to the cosmetic industry. The many handwashing, the increased use of disinfectants, and the wearing of face masks have made previous niche markets into the fastest growing market segments. The biggest difference between classic care products and their COVID Care pendant is due to the frequency of use and … Read more

Single material only

Cosmetic packagings with mixed materials are very difficult to recycle. Developers are working on sustainable solutions — with more and more success. One outstanding result is a new pump applicator for fine foam, which is made from only one material.

Palm oil: good or bad?

The reputation of palm oil is pretty bad. Although only a small part of global production actually flows into cosmetics, manufacturers are trying to do without this raw material. A better image could be created through more sustainability.

Better sleep – better skin

Produced by brain and by skin cells, melatonin acts as a powerful antioxidant and activates cellular protection. However, daily digital exposure disrupts skin melatonin production, leading to premature skin ageing and disturbing sleep-related functions.

When aging becomes positive

The generation over 50 no longer occupies a marginal position in the cosmetics industry. Good and healthy aging are the key words today. Maud Merlini talks about what this target groups wants and what its skin needs.

Bio inspired

Probiotics are well known for having a positive influence on health. Recently, scientists set their focus on postbiotics, their bioactive metabolites. Following the natural model with jojoba, scientists have achieved special results for dry skin.
