Opening of the PCD Talks by Dow

Les marques de cosmétiques sont sous pression pour développer de nouvelles méthodes afin d’offrir une expérience client exceptionnelle, et l’IoPT pourrait bien être la réponse ! L’Internet des objets d’emballage (IoPT) dote les marques d’outils qui non seulement assurent la transparence de l’information, de la chaîne d’approvisionnement et empêchent la contrefaçon, mais ont aussi le potentiel d’établir un lien personnel avec chaque client. Cela signifie des données clients exploitables et en temps réel que les marques peuvent utiliser pour dépasser la concurrence.

Internet of Packaging Things (IoPT): the technology bringing cosmetic brands alive

Cosmetic brands are stressed and under pressure to develop novel methods for that uber customer experience and IoPT might just be the answer! Internet of Packaging Things (IoPT) equip brands with tools which not just provide transparency in information, supply chain, and prevent counterfeit, but has potential to establish a personal connect with each customer. This means actionable and real time customer data that brands can use to outshine competition.

Intersectional beauty: next level inclusivity

Join BEAUTYSTREAMS to discover how inclusivity will evolve lifestyle trends in the upcoming years and how this will affect beauty product innovation.
Intersectional Beauty is based on the concept that each consumers has a multitude of diverse needs that layer one on top of the other, similar to a busy intersection on the highway. This leads to the challenge that there are almost as many consumer targets as there are individuals. Today defining individuals solely through their genetic or cultural origin is not sufficient anymore. Consumers expect to be addressed on a more personal level, while taking into account the many facets of cultural, geographical, spiritual, societal, and genetic influences.

Packaging and packaging waste regulation: implications for the cosmetics sector

On 30 November 2022, the European Commission published a proposal on regulation on packaging and packaging waste, intended to repeal the 1994 Directive. Emmanuel Guichard, General Delegate of the FEBEA, presents the main orientations of this ambitious proposal which aims at reducing the negative impacts of packaging and associated waste and establishing new requirements for marketing packaging in the EU.

Recycled, upcycled, biobased, compostable. Are sustainable materials challenging the formula compatibility of packaging?

With new materials or recycled materials invading the market, in conjunction with a move to more natural formulas that are more sensitive to the elements or to contamination, how do we ensure optimum sustainability with a protective pack and greener formulas? We’ll introduce the topic with trends and product innovations that demonstrate how current market innovations are tackling the challenge of formula compatibility, followed by testimonials from beauty professionals.

Student Challenge – ESIREIMS supported by Huda Beauty 

2nd edition of the ESIReims student challenge, with Huda Beauty

Huda Beauty’s challenge was to rethink the secondary packaging of the “liquid matte” lipstick by reducing the use of plastic without changing the dimensions and to add an accessory to the primary packaging of a perfume from the “Kayali” brand’s animation collection.
