During In-Cosmetics, Beraca (Stand No. M60) is an official sponsor of the In-Focus feature, which brings together professionals involved in the formulation, development and marketing of products to discuss the future of the cosmetic industry on a global scale.
With “sustainable beauty” as the main theme, In-Focus aims to explore the key opportunities and challenges involved in the sustainable manufacturing of cosmetics.
According to Filipe Sabará, business director, Beraca will address sustainability at all stages of the production chain, which starts with the prospection and collection of raw materials. When handled responsibly, their exploitation contributes to the preservation of local flora and helps promoting regional development.
In addition to certifications and valuable partnerships, Beraca has also received awards that verify the excellence of its programs, such as United Nations’ Seed Awards, in 2009.
The company has recently become a member of the Union for Ethical Bio Trade, an association that promotes fair trade ingredients from native biodiversity. In 2011, Beraca will produce its second sustainability report highlighting its main socio-environmental practices in conjunction with the Global Reporting Initiative and the Global Compact.
Besides contributing to the In-Focus feature, Beraca will also be exhibiting products at In-Cosmetics, including:
• Rain Forest Specialties - Fixed oils, essential oils, extracts, resins, clays and butters sustainably sourced from the Amazon rainforest.
• Active Performance Systems - 100% natural active ingredients blended for specific applications in hair and skin care.
• BioScrubs - Vegetal exfoliating agents developed to provide a stimulating scrub action to personal care products with low abrasion.
