THE WHAT? Chanel has finally unveiled a new sustainable cap for perfume bottles, made with Finland’s Sulapac.
THE DETAILS The cap took two years and 47 previous prototypes before it was finalised, with the new biodegradable cap being made of 91 percent plant-based materials.
According to a press release, Chanel listed criteria for the cap, which included, ‘the unique sound the bottle makes when the cap is put on, the grip, and the depth of the satiny matte finish on the iconic double C engraving.’
The cap will be used for all 125 millilitre bottles of the Les Eaux de Chanel collection of fragrances.
THE WHY? Speaking in an interview, Suvi Haimi, CEO of Sulapac, explained that while the development was an incremental step in tackling global pollution, it also demonstrated that alternatives to fossil-based plastics can be produced at scale.
Haimi continued, “It’s a message to other industries that sustainable plastic alternatives can meet the most rigorous standards. The big revolution is that you no longer need to use plastic.”
Aesthetic medicine products are developed and regulated to meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. They are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and specialized nurses in clinical settings. These products aim to provide effective solutions for cosmetic enhancement, skin rejuvenation, and overall aesthetic improvement, contributing to both physical appearance and self-confidence.
Key categories of aesthetic medicine products include:
-
Injectables: This category includes products such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxins (e.g., Botox), and collagen stimulators. These injectables are used to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and improve facial contours.
-
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments: Products like chemical peels, microdermabrasion systems, and laser devices are used to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and enhance overall skin tone.
-
Skincare Products: These include medical-grade cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and topical treatments containing active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and growth factors. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Hair Restoration Products: Medical treatments and products designed to promote hair growth and treat conditions such as male and female pattern baldness.
-
Body Contouring and Fat Reduction: Devices and products used for non-surgical body sculpting, such as cryolipolysis (cool sculpting) devices and injectable lipolytics.
-
Cosmeceuticals: High-performance skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing potent ingredients with proven clinical benefits.
-
Wound Care and Scar Management: Products like silicone sheets, gels, and advanced wound dressings used to improve healing and reduce the appearance of scars.
