Encapsulation and Innovation in Cosmetics: Take part in the Innovation Challenges!

COSMETIC VALLEY actively supports innovation, particularly in the field of encapsulation for the perfume-cosmetics industry.

In 2017, the cluster certified the MISTIC project, which develops intelligent materials for stimulated release of cosmetic bioactives. This ambitious project aims to create biosourced polymers capable of releasing active ingredients in response to a stimulus, whether internal (physiological state of the skin) or external (temperature).

MISTIC has developed two types of capsules:

• Capsules sensitive to skin oxidation for anti-oxidant active ingredients.
• Heat-activated capsules for skin or hair applications.

Are you developing or wishing to develop technology in this area to advance innovation in cosmetics? 🚀

Take on the challenges launched by CHANEL, FAREVA, LVMH RECHERCHE, Pharma & Beauty Group and Proya Cosmetics:

1. How to optimize the effectiveness of an eco-designed formula using new active ingredient encapsulation technologies?
   • Keywords: International regulation, Encapsulation, Vectorization, Ecodesign, Product performance, Formulation

Applications are open from now until July 31, 2024!

CHANEL Parfums Beauté, the CNRS, the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes (ENSCR) and the University of Rennes inaugurated this Thursday, June 6, 2024 in Rennes a joint laboratory called “𝐈𝐂𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄” (Innovative Cosmetics for CARE) supported by the 'ANR.

COSMETIC VALLEY supported the setting up of this project and provided it with the labeling of the French cosmetics/perfumery industry.

The partners aim to innovate in the design of new generation cosmetic products by pooling their skills.

With a turnover of €71 billion, cosmetics is a flagship sector in France. 60% of French production is exported internationally. To support this appeal for French cosmetic products, it is essential to offer consumers continuous and relevant innovations, while guaranteeing product safety by taking into account scientific advances, the environmental context and current regulations.

In order to remove major technological obstacles, this research/business collaboration will engage in 2 major areas of research:

- The design of innovative processes responding to eco-design challenges in order to synthesize and produce new inorganic pigments, essential ingredients in makeup,

- The development of catalytic processes capable of producing agro-sourced waxes in order to replace synthetic waxes and paraffins of petrochemical origin.

COSMETIC VALLEY, a competitiveness cluster, allows you to discuss the various innovation issues in the perfumery - cosmetics sector and the projects to be implemented.

If you also want to develop an R&D project to meet the challenges of the sector, contact us! Amandine Goubert, agoubert@cosmetic-valley.com

COSMETIC VALLEY supports the development of biotechnologies and sustainability in the perfumery-cosmetics industry!

In 2021, the cluster certified the Everzom project, an innovative platform using stem cell exosomes to improve the performance and durability of dermo-cosmetic products.
