Our partner ECKART send us their trend colours twice a year, based on their expertise of the market, using their ingredients.
We were very excited to receive their Autumn-Winter 2022-23 concept kit, so much so that we decided to review the products and give you an overview of our favourites and some inspiration into how they could translate to other applications outside make-up.
The trends are:
🍀 Irish Saga - natural, outdoorsy, romantic look - our pick is the eyebrow "Malt Whiskey"
🌃 Russian Fairy Tales - traditional noble colours for a sophisticated evening look - our pick is the "eye stay" mousses "Golden Sparkle" and "Emerald Sparkle"
👩🏼🎤 Lost In Space - non gender specific, sci-fi/ festival-like, striking look - our pick is the lip duo "Laser Kisses" and "Major Stardust"
All products are using Eckart Syncrystal and/ or Mirage ranges to create the desired effects.
Grab a cup of tea ☕️ or beverage of choice🍸, make yourself comfortable and enjoy listening to our team members Armelle Sebbag and Vivianne Wu discuss these products and how the colours and textures have been created.
If you have any questions or feedback you can reach them directly at armelle@aveniringredients.com.au and vivianne@aveniringredients.com.au.
We'd love to assist you with your upcoming developments and how you could use these ingredients.
Consumers strive to live more sustainably and as a response, brands are innovating with water-free formulations to help with the effort.
There is a rise in brands that offer solid skincare and haircare products, solutions that present themselves as sustainable alternatives.
Solid cosmetics can significantly reduce the use of water, the volume of packaging and consequently, the environmental impact.
The motivation behind most solid cosmetics is to combat environmental issues. According to Mintel Global New Products Database, nearly half of waterless beauty and personal care products launched in 2019 were from skincare.
What is considered a solid cosmetic?
Any compact product that doesn't flow or divided solids that flow like powders or granules.
What are some of the benefits?
Resources protection
Water - contains less water than a liquid product or no water
Plastic – less packaging waste
Weight – reduced CO2 emission due to lighter transport
Uses only as much as is needed – less prone to overdosage
Long lasting – a little goes a long way
User benefits
Travel friendly
Space & weight saving
No product leak or spill
Carry-on bag friendly
We've selected 6 formulations from our international partners to illustrate new formats and new ways to use personal care products. Many technologies are borrowed from the colour cosmetics know-how.
