Reduction of the global carbon footprint, shorter supply chain loops, innovative supply chains, better waste management, reduction of transport and packaging pollution: this year, cosmetics manufacturers were the best advocates for more models responsible.
waterless cosmetics
At a time when the impact of water consumption linked to cosmetic products is a major issue for our industry, with global warming increasing pressure on freshwater resources, anhydrous formulations were ubiquitous and came in various formats, such as powders, bars and tablets.
ABC texture, for example, showed a cushion reinvented by removing the applicator thanks to an anhydrous texture with a silicone-free memory shape. With a natural origin rate of at least 97%, the formula offers a soft-focus powder effect.
global beauty consultancywho had presented at Luxe Pack Monaco, an anti-aging serum stick, in association with Superga Beauty and Cosmogen, this time explored the potential of powders for the formulation of anhydrous makeup products.
Inavive Laboratory launched an eco-designed solid sunscreen free of water and chemical filters. The formula protects the marine environment and is suitable for the whole family from the age of three. The format is less bulky than liquid sunscreens and avoids generating plastic waste.

Lyophitech introduced its freeze-drying solution designed to help manufacturers. The technology transforms plant extracts and formulations into tablets that are easy to handle and dose.
nuwen focused on a new cleansing gel format: a soluble tablet that allows packaging to be reduced without affecting the sensory qualities of the product. Its minimalist and very nature-based formula contains only essential ingredients and sulfate-free surfactants for an excellent foaming effect.

Technature also introduces a hydrogel stick formulated with red algae. Its ultra-fresh film-forming effect allows a quick and specific application around the eyes.
recycled formulas
It was confirmed that upcycling is a fast growing trend in cosmetics.
For example, Alpol cosmetics has shown with its new Upcycl’Care range that it is possible to formulate skincare products with recycled ingredients that go beyond just active ingredients.
From Portugal HPRD (Research and Development of Health Products) showed a scrub that uses recycled cherry pits from by-products of the food industry.
For his part, JRS Rettenmaier presented a series of minimalist formulas, free of surfactants and fragrances, and very pleasing to the senses, based on apple by-products for highly recycled natural cosmetics.
Finally, Sarbec Cosmetics debuted a 100% natural cream enriched with recycled “hyperactive” pomegranate with a smooth, melting texture for daily skin care.
