Packaging plays an essential role in the cosmetics market, and is regarded as the ‘secret salesman’. Apart from keeping a product well protected, cosmetic packaging must follow current trends to attract beauty consumers. Moreover, it has to focus on building a unique brand identity, and thus focus more on building an image. The global cosmetics packaging market will exhibit steady growth in the next decade, we predict. The major driving factors of the cosmetics packaging industry include the growing beauty conscious population in the emerging economies where people are constantly seeing increases in disposable incomes. Ageing population is calling for increasing demand for anti-ageing cosmetic products, as well as more user-friendly cosmetics packaging.

The skin care cosmetics packaging submarket will see the fastest growth among the applications submarkets driven by the ongoing anti-ageing, male grooming and premiumisation trends in the cosmetics market. In terms of materials plastics will see the strongest growth in the next decade, thanks to the cost-effectiveness, good performance, reliable protection, colour versatility, flexibility and easy transportation and storage plastics offer. China will take the leading position of the US in the cosmetics packaging market by 2025, and India will exhibit the most significant growth in the forecast period.

The cosmetics packaging market does face limitations. Weak economic situations in some of the major cosmetics packaging markets are blocking the growth potential of the cosmetics market in the near future. Increasing emphasis on sustainability of packaging can be hard for some cosmetics products, especially luxury brands. Fast pace in the cosmetics market and intense competition can put significant pressure on packaging providers, and a key challenge for packaging manufacturers is to meet the increasingly complex packaging requirements from customers.

The world of fragrance can beOld World and clubby, so itdidn’t appear much of a stretch

when Chanel appointed OlivierPolge, right, to succeed his father,Jacques Polge, the house’sfragrance creator since 1978 and theman behind hits like Coco Made-moiselle, Chance and Allure. Theyounger Mr. Polge, 40, brings hisown bragging rights to the plumspot: He created best sellers likeViktor & Rolf ’s Flowerbomb andBalenciaga’s Florabotanica. But willhe fare as well in today’s changinglandscape? Beauty counters arelittered with niche brands, andaccording to the research firmCanadean, the fragrance market inthe United States is projected togrow far slower (4.8 percent from2013 to 2018) than in, say, India(23.4 percent) or Russia (8.9percent).

During a recent visit to New York, therakish-looking Mr. Polge said he wasnot overly concerned. Indeed, hisfirst scent for Chanel, named Misiaafter Coco Chanel’s friend Misia Sert,will join the Les Exclusifs lineup ofmore-experimental scentsmidmonth ($160). Smelling oflipstick, rose and powder, it is saidto conjure the dressing-room scentsof the Ballets Russes. Here, Chanel’snew nose explains himself. BEESHAPIRO

Q. You were practically born into thefragrance world. Did you take to itright away?

A. Actually, no. I was interested inclassical music, but I’m not a goodpianist. Then I did an internship atChanel. I was put in front of a scaleand got to work with raw materials.There’s a very crafty aspect tocreating a fragrance. And at the end,you create something completelyimmaterial. That’s one of the reasonsI liked it so much.

Immaterial, yet there are trends.

Preferences change. In the 1990s,people wanted a very lightfragrance. Today that’s not the case.There are now so many headyscents, like ouds galore. I’ve heardthat superstrong scents are meant toplease customers in places like theMiddle East and Russia. That’s areality: Certain stronger scents dobetter in the Middle East, and Asiancountries like their scents lighter. ButI try not to be so opportunistic. Icare less about geographic territorythan spirit territory.

Is this scent in the spirit of Chanel?

Some of those niche fragrances maybeg to differ. There are so manynow. There are too many. Often it’sabout the marketing and not thefragrance.

What are some of your favoritescents — specific notes, food?

I don’t want to smell like what I eat,and I don’t like to eat what I smell.Then again, fragrance is verysubjective. I like iris. It’s very floraland very woody and very powdery.There are many ways to work with it.

Perfumery is such an Old World craft.Has it been at all touched bytechnology?

I’m not on my iPhone all day. I’mworking with raw materials. Butwe’re so much better now atextracting oils and refining them.And you can fragment a scent —say, the oil of the May rose, which isin Misia. You can isolate just oneaspect of the flower.

How do you start on a new scent?

You start to work without your nose.You’re working from your memory,your experiences. Then I like,fundamentally, to go to the fields. Iwould say my approach is kind ofdown to earth.

beloved collection of stories fromthe “One thousand and OneNights”, at the Beautyworld MiddleEast international trade fair in Dubai.There are six fragrances in thiscollection, all inspired by legendarytales that date back to the ArabMiddle Ages. One of thesefragrances is inspired by the mythicalcity of Samarkand and the others bythe leading characters in thesetraditional stories: PrincessSherezade, King Shariyar, PrincessBudur, Prince Kamar Al-Zaman andthe King of the Black Islands.According to Eurofragance, “Ourperfumes are immersed in thebooks and inspired by the mainroles and their imaginary " and theyentice us "to go back to a time ofold kingdoms and mysteriouspalaces and to venture through adoorway into a long forgottenworld.”

Each of these fragrances wereassociated with one of the six mostvisible constellations in the northernhemisphere during the days onwhich Beautyworld Middle East tookplace to mark the occasion of thelaunch of "The Arabian Nights"fragrance collection. Theseconstellations created a visualconnection with each fragrance andappeard on the packaging as a signof identity. This created a linkbetween the stars that werevisibleon the nights during which the tradefair took place in Dubai and theGolden Age of Islam when thestories in "One Thousand and OneNights" were penned. Sherezadewill be the Little Bear; Shariyar,Bootes; Samarkand, the Dragon;Budur, Corona Borealis. Theconstellation Lyra will be Kamar al-Zaman and the hero Hercules willbe linked to the King of the BlackIslands.

A fragrance for each character fromthe "One Thousand and OneNights”:

• Sherezade: As sensual andmysterious as the fairytale princess,this fragrance evokes a bouquet ofdewy muguet and night bloomingjasmine revealing the delicate heartof magnolia blossom, all laying in awarm base of musk, darkened by ahint of oud and cedarwood. It hasbeen created by perfumist JúliaRodríguez.

• Shariyar: King Shariyar strongcharacter is represented for apowerful citrus spicy opening ofbergamot, lemon, saffron and pinkberries. The heart is softened by thefloral heart of rose, jasmine, iris andmuguet, as the heart of Shariyar issoftened by Sherezade. The basemakes a strong support oflabdanum, amber, oudh and vetiver.Created by Olaf Larsen, a perfumistwith a long professional career.

• Budur: Young and sweet like theprincess who is the inspirationbehind this fragrance. It hasgourmand accords of ripe grapes,honey and wild pomegranatereveals a heart that blooms withjasmine and hibiscus blossom,enveloped by sandalwood, amberand vanilla orchid. Created by BettinaPerisson.

• Kamar Al-Zaman: A youthful,rebellious, powerful fragrance - justlike the character who inspired it. Anopening of lemon, saffron and nerolifollowed by aromatic and floralaccords of muguet, rose andgeranium. The drydown is a blendof leathery and ambery accords withcedarwood and guaiac wood andmoss. It has also been created byOlaf Larsen.

• The King of the Black Islands: Adark perfume illuminated by a citrusopening; spiced up by a symphony

of nutmeg, cardamom, saffron and pink pepper. Delicate jasmine lays over awoody heart of vetiver, revealing the warm drydown of benzoin, blackvanilla orchid, patchouli and olibanum. Isabel Gil designed this fragrance.

• Samarkand: Subtle and enigmatic, the essence of rose petals is blendedwith saffron, cardamom and orris root. Walk by the streets feeling the heartof incense, sandalwood, vetiver and myrrh, supported by an amber veil.Soizic Beaucourt is responsible for this creation.


Penhaligon's London presents a new fragrance of their rich collection which is inspired by precious goods traded by Turkey—exotic flowers, spices,soft leather and precious materials. The fragrance was named after a small Turkish village, Halfeti, where charming Halfeti black roses bloom on the coastsof the Euphrates river. "These dark and mysterious roses are very rare and are result of unique ecological conditions in which they are grown."

Halfeti is an extremely rich woody-floral fragrance whose composition is signed by perfumer Christian Provenzano. The perfume opens with a rich union ofcitruses, herbs and spices while blending bergamot and grapefruit with saffron, cardamom, atermisia and cypress needles. The heart develops floral notes ofjasmine and Bulgarian rose combined with shades of nutmeg, while the base introduces warm aromas of leather, precious oud, cedar, sandalwood, amber,musk, tonka and vanilla.

Penhaligon's Halfeti arrives in the characteristic bottle form, available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum. The price of the edition is 150 pounds and the fragrance isavailable on the official website of Penhaligon's.

The American event enhancesthe value of the entire cosmeticsindustry supply chain, with a specialfocus on subcontracted producers,who have stood their ground solidlyduring the crisis of the last few years.In particular, the industrial output

value of over 9,300 million eurosconfirms the sector’s ability to react.Evidence of this ability can be seenon the international markets, whereItalian production has demonstratedits capacity and potential with anincrease of 5% in 2014. Industrialindicators such as qualifiedemployment, constant investment inresearch and innovation and often-overlooked financial solidity alsoplay a vital part in consolidating thisexcellence. Cosmetica Italia hasdrawn attention to the value of thewider cosmetic supply chain

Respect Your Limits

Yoga may seem intimidating at first,

but isreally an easy-

to-approach alternatefor overpowering obesity. While itmay seem difficult to bend intosome poses initially, being consis-tent in practice will help you stretchfurther with every passing day. It isalso important to remember thatyour body has its own limits and itwould be unwise to stretch beyondthose limits just to lose weightquickly. Stretch until where yourbody permits and then rest in thatpose, while breathing consciously.

Lose Your Weight, Not Your Mind

Yoga does not offer quick weightloss. However, it does offer longlasting effects. Initially, you may feelthat you aren’t making any progress

with weight loss but you’ll startfeeling more active and alive inside.Eventually, the body will startresponding and come back in goodshape. Always remember thatpatience is of the essence. Don’tlose hope and be regular with yourpractice. Talk to your yoga instructorand chalk out a custom-maderegime to help you lose weight.

A healthy body can be a home tocalm and receptive mind. It not onlymakes you look good but also addsconfidence. It also takes you awayfrom health risks so that you canenjoy life more freely. Yoga

this by losing whatharms your body. It’s a

perfect win-win situation whereyou lose weight and gain backcontrol of your body. So, roll outyour yoga mat and take the naturalroute to fighting obesity today.

in-cosmetics, Brasil 30 September -1October, Expo Center Norte, SäoPaulo, Brasil

Latin America is one of thefastest growing and moreexciting markets in the personal

care industry. Its emergence overthe past five years has beenimpressive, with Euromonitor[1]highlighting that between 2013 and2017 the region will increase itsmarket share to 31 per cent and willcomprise 18 per cent of the globalpersonal care industry[2].

in-cosmetics Brasil, taking placebetween 30th September – 1stOctober 2015, is the only exhibitionin Latin America that is 100%dedicated to raw materials for thepersonal care industry. After asuccessful first ever show last year, itwill once again open the gatewayfor companies looking to tap intothe huge opportunities that exist inthis market.

The event, based in SaoPaulo, is perfectly placed

to position internationalplayers on the doorstepof one of the mostdynamic markets in theworld. Indeed, Brazilitself is leading thecharge in the region. It isnow the third biggestcosmetics and toiletriesmarket in the world after

the USA and China, with itsbeauty and personal care market

forecasted to reach US$55.6bnby 2017 (Euromonitor).

However, it is not justBrazil that has seen rapid recentgrowth. Mexico, the second biggestmarket in the region, was last yearworth just over US$11bn and isexpected to reach US$12bn by2017. Other markets, althoughsomewhat smaller, are alsoexperiencing exciting growth, withColombia, Chile and Peru allexpected to make considerablestrides over the next two years.

There are a number of reasonsbehind this surge. There has beenan increase in disposable income inthe region as many countriesexperience economic growth(mainly thanks to their trade withAsia).This has resulted in anexpanding middle class who havemore aspirational desires than everbefore, more women entering theworkplace and an increasing interestfrom the male population who aremore concerned about theirappearance. All of these factorshave driven a need for more and,

importantly, better quality cosmeticsthan ever before.

The sheer amount of growth and theincreasing influence of the regionwere the reasons in-cosmetics Brasilwas launched last year. 2014 saw2,185 unique visitors looking tosource the latest personal careingredients and formulations from192 exhibitors representing morethan 20 countries. As the only eventof its kind in the whole of LatinAmerica, in-cosmetics Brasil is ableto attract local formulators and R&Dprofessionals and bring them face-to-face with international and LatinAmerican raw materials suppliers.

Exhibitors at the show have theopportunity to showcase theirexpertise by connecting with a hostof buyers gathered in one place,creating the perfect opportunity toget instant feedback. The first editionof in-cosmetics Brasil last year sawattendees from top cosmeticsmanufacturers in Latin Americaincluding Unilever, L’Oréal, BeiersdorfAG, Procter & Gamble, Sanofi,Kimberly-Clark Corp andGlaxoSmithKline Plc.

Cristiane Dios, Chemical Engineerand Cosmetologist at Bossa Nove,Brazil, a visitor to last year’s showsaid: “I loved in-cosmetics Brasil, itwas completely focused oningredients for cosmetics and that isessential for us. When we go toevents that focus on packaging,pharmaceutical ingredients forinstance, we are unable to reach thepurpose of attending, which isresearch. At in-cosmetics Brasil, Ienjoyed everything I’ve seen in

in-cosmetics Brasil – the gateway to arapidly expanding Latin American market

terms of new technologies,innovative and multifunctionalproducts and primarily natural rawmaterials, which is what I waslooking for.”

The show presents the opportunityfor exhibitors to find new clients, setup strategic global alliances anddevelop a significant advantage overtheir competitors by engaging withthe local audience. With 62% of thevisitors to in-cosmetics Brasil 2014holding senior level positions, thequality of discussions and businessleads is consistently at a high level.

Exhibition Manager Daniel Zanettisaid: “Latin America is going to beone of the most important marketsin the personal care sector duringthe next five years.

The recent and ongoing growth istestimony to that, with analystsseeing no let-up in this trend. in-cosmetics Brasil opens up theregion to those who recognise thisopportunity. We have designed theshow to give international players aninsight into a buoyant and yetrelatively untapped market, whilstproviding local companies accessto the latest global developments.

“2014 proved what an importantrole the exhibition could play in thisexciting period of growth for thesector in Latin America. We areconfident that 2015 will cement thisposition and provide the industrywith an invaluable tool for thecoming years.”

A UPV/EHU-University of theBasque Country researcherhas developed and

applied three methods to analysevarious compounds in cosmetics &personal care products.

Right now, there are 10,000components that can be used tomake cosmetics. These compo-nents have to be monitored toguarantee consumer safety. TheUPV/EHU researcher Josu López hasdeveloped three ‘green' analyticalmethods to simultaneously analysevarious components used incosmetics. In these methods verylittle solvent is used and very littleresidue is produced in comparisonwith other analytical techniques.

Cosmetics is an important industryworldwide and has attained highlevels of sophistication. There areover 10,000 components that canbe used to make cosmetics; so it isessential to monitor these compo-nents to guarantee consumer safety.Regulation 1223/2009 approved bythe European Union in 2009established a list of componentsthat guarantee consumer safety aswell as certain conditions for usingthese components, such asmaximum concentration and whattype of products they can be usedin.

In his PhD thesis, the researcher JosuLópez of the Department ofApplied Chemistry of the UPV/EHU'sFaculty of Chemistry has developed

and applied methods to quantifysome of these components. Themethods studied by López arebased on capillary electrophoresis.As the researcher explained, "one ofthe most important advantages ofthis technique is that it is a "green"technique because little organicsolvent is used and little residue isproduced in comparison with otheranalytical techniques".

López has worked on methods toanalyse musk fragrances, allergens,antimicrobial preservatives,antioxidant preservatives andultraviolet filters, and has appliedthem in the analysis of variousperfumes, shampoos, gels, soaps,sun creams and a range of domesticproducts. As the researcher pointedout, "all the products we analysedcomply with the regulation".

Cheap, Simple, ‘Green' Methods

Lopez explained that it is very easyto prepare the samples to be usedin these methods –all you have todo is dilute the product-, and, whatis more, they are cheap methods.So they are a good alternative withrespect to the methods used untilnow (liquid and gas chromatogra-phy). It should also be pointed outthat one of the advances is that thesimultaneous separation of variouscomponents has been achievedusing capillary electrophoresis, forexample it is possible to simulta-neously separate fragrances andallergens, or preservatives and

ultraviolet filters, etc. The researcher highlighted the importance of theoptimization process of the methods obtained. "We have developed afunction to simplify the optimization of the most significant variables thathave a bearing on the methods," he explained.

The next step will now be to try and simultaneously analyse a larger quantityof components, and to try and reduce the minimum concentration fordetection purposes in the methods.
