Product's Digital Fingerprint
Discover the ultimate protection for your cosmetic products, your brand, and your customers against counterfeiting and parallel markets. 15 years of French innovation. Unique digital identification. 100% reliable unitary authentication. No alteration to your formulas, packaging, or design. Tested and Proven – All over the World. +100 brands using this protection +2 billion products protected by this solution +100 registration systems deployed worldwide Whether it’s skincare, perfumes, makeup, or haircare, cosmetic products are highly targeted by counterfeiters. Our technology brings an unrivaled level of protection, directly integrated into your existing packaging. The principle of fingerprint technology is based on the analysis of the physical characteristics of an object or document, such as paper fibers or micro-imperfections, to create a unique "fingerprint." Our engineers have developed an algorithm capable of generating a unique fingerprint for each of your cosmetic products. This fingerprint is based on the product’s biometrics, meaning its material characteristics (textures, patterns, roughness, etc.). Just like our fingers, each object indeed has a unique material "fingerprint," impossible to reproduce and invisible to the naked eye. This fingerprint is then used to verify the authenticity of the product at any point in the supply chain, offering enhanced protection against counterfeiting, diversion, and unauthorized sales. It also ensures secure and transparent traceability, a key expectation in the beauty and personal care industry.
Serialization & traceability
We deliver easy-to-deploy hardware and software solutions for serialization, aggregation, and product tracking, perfectly suited for cosmetic manufacturing. Our systems offer high-speed serialization designed for the most demanding industrial lines, with serial number generation informed by our expertise in regulated markets and powered by seamless integration with your packaging suppliers. Our multi-level Track & Trace platforms (L1 to L4) follow each product from the factory floor to the shelf and all the way to the consumer, giving you complete visibility over your production, distribution, and sales. We ensure native integration of GS1 Digital Link and QR Code standards, enabling global interoperability and richer digital experiences for your customers. Easy to integrate and fully configurable, our solutions help you secure your supply chain, strengthen product authenticity, and maintain full quality control across every stage of your cosmetic production process.
