NEWS

Trends and innovations you need to know.

Packaging

Wooden luxury

Quadpack takes its monomaterial wooden cap to the next level, with Woodacity Hidden. It features the patented Woodacity closure system that functions just like plastic, but using only wood from sustainably-managed forests. Aimed squarely at the luxury market, the two-piece cap and ring combo hides the internal rib pattern, for a sleek, minimalist look. To further minimise impact, water-based, biodegradable glue is used to seamlessly join the pieces.

Ingredients

Drinkable sun protection

Tosla Nutricosmetics has just announced the results of the clinical study for their new unique Lumina365 supplement. Lumina365 is a vegan supplement that offers a dual approach to suncare. A blend of natural ingredients and targeted vitamins proven to bolster skin’s UV defenses by neutralizing free radicals and reducing melanin-induced redness. According to the clinical study, the supplement offers an additional layer of whole-body sun protection that reduces skin redness by almost 50%, helping to maintain an even skin tone, 24 hours after UVB exposure in just 8 weeks.

Market

Team work for innovation

BASF and Acies Bio, one of Europe’s leading biotechnology companies, have entered into a transformative partnership to further develop a platform for fermentation technology from methanol for the production of fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are essential building blocks for several ingredients in the home and personal care markets, in particular surfactants. Acies Bio’s biotechnological expertise complements BASF’s drive for innovative solutions and contributes to shaping a more sustainable future.
