OUR PICK OF THIS WEEK'S NEWS
is personnalisation a way to a more sustainable beauty?
Why it’s interesting
Have you heard about the “Coach” scandal on tiktok and how influencers are bashing the brand for ditching brand new - but unsold - bags. Many says that we produce too much, hence the waste. Here with this innovation Marionnaud eliminates waste since it creates “perfect” match foundation on-demand… no over-production... Magical!
Key Takeaways
- Marionnaud launches the tailored foundation service in Italy
- Range developed with Trigener, AI technology provide
- Personalised mineral based, vegan formulation on the spot
Can we be "casual" about cosmetics?
Why it’s interesting
Fluff, the up-and-coming Australian Indie brand has an approach that is about less-is-more... or "feel pretty even when you don't wear make-up". Which seems counter-intuitive for a brand trying to sell makeup. Yet it's really clever! Instead of building on shame and guilt, they build on trust and freedom of choice. Sounds appealing, doesn't it? And above all the brand promotes a conscious consumption.
Key Takeaways
- the range is refillable - compacts are made in zamac, which is an audacious choice but valuable in refillable and long term approach.
- price point starts high even though they are targeting a younger demographic
- 55% recurring consumer base

Can we achieve a complex packaging with one single material?
Why it’s interesting
It's seem the answer is YES. APC packaging reduces the use of multiple materials as their new dropper and bottle are made from one single material, which makes the recycling process simpler and more likely to occur. The used product will have more chance to enter the waste management system …
Key Takeaways
- We don't have much information (yet) about the material in question
- We'll add that to our report about sustainable packaging innovations at the end of our course
