Sustainable value proposition

Acting completely sustainably as a company is a noble goal that involves immense efforts. In practical implementation, this requires many individual steps that ultimately lead to the goal in the long term. Gaelle Bathany reports on the path they have already taken.

Dare to create something new

This is a good time for formulators to break new ground and develop innovative textures, because consumers are more open to it than ever. Silke Langer knows what the background to this is and what options there are.

Catching more attention

They should be eye-catching and encourage customers to buy the products. But at the same time, the demand for sustainability in large sales displays is increasing. Jakob Rinninger shows how this can be implemented in both the premium and the mass market.

Just bead it

Microplastic has already been banned in many places due to its environmentally harmful effects. Anaïs Hecker presents an ecological alternative with beads made of cellulose material that can enclose and release active ingredients.

Enjoying solid perfumes

The creation of new fragrances is not just about flavours. In times in which sustainability is playing an increasingly important role, there are also developments in new dosage forms. Katia de Martino reports on this new dosage form.

Beauty can do better

While the past year has tested the beauty industry, the push for sustainable solutions continues to drive market innovation. Sasha Calder shares how the beauty industry is bouncing back to create more sustainable products and resilient communities in the face of Covid-19.

Trends for young scents

The fragrance of a cosmetic product is not just a distinguishing feature of a brand or a line. Especially with the younger generations, who have not been loyal to the brand for long, it is an important purchase criterion. Sylvain Massé reports on the latest marketing trends in terms of fragrances in cosmetic products.

For liquids too

Paper packaging is considered ecological and sustainable. But limits were reached quickly with viscous or liquid cosmetic products. A newly developed form of pods shows innovative ways to significantly reduce the use of plastic here.

Discover the skin condition

In the last few months there has been a strong desire for cosmetic products that should not only care for the skin, but also increase well-being. Anne Charpentier explains how the demands have changed in 2020 and how their effects on well-being can be measured.
