Nature itself is the primary raw materials supplier for Parfumerie Tiki, a pioneer in the monoi bulk or finished products market, as it is for Laboratoires Provendi, which has created new soaps and cleaning products based on copra, olive and sesame oil. Supportive of responsible development, fragrance creator Technico Flor offers two new product families: Natflor and Natfair.

Under its new Minacare brand, Minasolve has assembled a full range of preservatives, alternative solutions to parabens, whitening or cleaning agents. Through its Memphis, Tenn., subsidiary PennAKem, it is developing new green technology for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Plant Advanced Technologies has come up with new eco-friendly technology, PAT Plant Milking, which allows one to literally milk plants several times a year so as to extract their active agents, this with optimal yields that preserve biodiversity, said the company.

The program also showcases anti-aging developments. Fiflow BB 61 and BB 76, made by Creations Couleurs, are based on anti-aging active agents that provide instant oxygenation of the skin. Capsum has achieved encapsulation techniques to vectorize and protect active agents within the creams, thus helping to optimize their effects and to significantly reduce supply costs for businesses. Interpolymer will take advantage of Suppliers’ Day to launch a new product, Syntran PC 5620, used in manufacturing an ultra-fast drying nail polish that is shiny, protective and water-resistant.

Expertise and services will be present through Technature, which has developed unique know-how in creating powder-based cosmetic concepts, providing major health institutes and spas with a brand label service. There also will be testing and equipment information at the pavilion.
