For more information and to apply, go to the Cosmetic 360 website then in the INNOVATION CHALLENGES tab.

Sourcing raw materials is essential because it is the first step in the production process of a cosmetic product.

Indeed, natural raw materials can be multiple, both plant and marine, and must be used in particular for the active ingredients they contain. They must therefore go through rigorous selection.

Cosmetic Valley supports innovation in the cosmetics sector through all stages of manufacturing a cosmetic product. As part of the Cosmétosciences program, Cosmetic Valley is therefore setting up thematic information webinars, ranging from the sourcing of raw materials to the study of the safety of the product for humans and the environment.

InnCoCells, the European project for the development of natural assets.

The 17 partners of the InnCoCells project gathered in Nancy at PAT this week to take stock of the progress of this 4-year project aimed at validating the processes for obtaining ingredients from plants and plant cell cultures.

🌱 A project which is based on the concept of Cosmétopée, starting from the ancestral cosmetic uses of plants and promoting their current valorization. This is possible thanks to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and thus allows the maintenance of biodiversity and the economic development of the holding territories.

COSMETICVALLEY is a partner in this project which is fully integrated into the European themes worked within the framework of the Acct4Cosmetics working groups.

🔔 Find the presentation of the project results on COSMETIC 360 , on October 16 & 17 in Paris.

On June 7, watch the Les Tech du Beauty Fab webinar on the theme of microfluidics in the cosmetics sector.

#Microfluidics, this fascinating science which studies the behavior of fluids at the microscopic scale, is finding more and more applications in the cosmetics industry; it offers revolutionary potential by allowing the creation of highly personalized and effective products.

By combining their expertise in microfluidics and process chemistry, KLEARIA is at the forefront of innovation in the cosmetics field, offering tailor-made and highly effective solutions to meet the specific needs of each company. Their approach based on the microfluidic process makes it possible to overcome the limitations encountered in traditional batch manufacturing methods. By precisely manipulating very small volumes of fluids through microscopic channels, Klearia can create cosmetic formulas that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve.

On the agenda for this hour of webinar:

• A first part on “What is microfluidics?” and what are the works of KLEARIA,
• A second part on microfluidics for the benefit of cosmetics
• Finally, how to use this science to innovate, particularly in the manufacturing of skincare products and perfumes.

✨ The 9th edition of the international innovation competition took place yesterday at the Pastoret hotel, Place de Concorde in Paris, rewarding the two winners of the following categories: 𝐞 and 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞.

The 6 finalists, selected from the 111 applications by the scientific jury last February, presented themselves before the second jury, this time made up of major French and international cosmetic brands.
