Sustainability is a topic that occupies our society and to whichever greater importance is being attached. Consumers also want plant-based and biobased ingredients in cosmetics. But what does biobased actually mean? In the article, you will learn more about possible measurement methods for companies in terms of biobased ingredients. 

Pro- and postbiotic | Not only in nutrition, but also in cosmetics, the effect of pro- and postbiotic ingredients is appreciated as health-promoting. However, the use of these claims in the beauty sector must be used with caution. Harald von der Hoeven knows which conditions must be met for which designation.

Traceability | The ability to track individual products as they make their way through the supply chain provides security and builds trust with the customer. Companies achieve this by providing each product with a unique digital identity.

Traceability | If you want to sell a cosmetic product in Europe, you must be able to prove all the ingredients and their ‘history’. That’s quite an effort, considering that the market is becoming more and more global. Lea Saporetti shows what measures cosmetics manufacturers can take to improve the traceability of their products.

Even if the claim “microbiome friendly” is being used more frequently in cosmetics, it has not yet been conclusively clarified which substances can influence which bacteria and fungi. Anne-Sophie Dutailly took a closer look at a few ingredients and examined their effects.

Sustainable, safe, and easy to use – these are the requirements that the cosmetics market will place on the packaging of the future. Gregor Spengler and Jörg Schäfer explain where aluminium should be classified as a packaging material in this context and how it is used.

Special editions are very popular not only as gifts. However, due to the relatively small editions, a multi-coloured design is often associated with high costs. The technology of digital heat transfer printing can make the design of smaller batches or special editions more easily and flexibly.

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.
