Jury’s favourite

 Teens Cosmos Watery Foam Foundation by Daito Kasei Europe. A two-phase formulation that combines the properties of a foundation with a very natural finish, particularly suited to young skin, and a moisturizing serum. It is easy to blend thanks to the use of silica-treated pigments (COSMOS certified) that allow for very good dispersibility in water. Without propellant, its airy foam texture is obtained from surfactants of vegetable origin.

Finalists

 Sophisti-Mate, by Aircos, Groupe Anjac. Talc-free foundation powder formulated primarily from rice used in the form of oil, powder and rice bran wax.

 Metal-ONE e/s by Trendcolor. A bold and shimmering effect obtained from a formula combining a new generation of polymers with an emollient from renewable plant sources.

Its formula is enriched with a sugar complex identical to that of the skin, to better preserve it.

 Brightness Whipped Cream by SICAF, Groupe Anjac. A 98% natural air texture that renews the sensory experience while providing a hybrid benefit: it gives radiance and comfort to the complexion and cares for the skin by moisturizing and nourishing it.

 Crescendo Hydra-Activated Foundation, by Chromavis Fareva. A hybrid foundation with a hydro-activated formula that releases a boost of benefits when removed with warm water. This removal care property is based on the presence of micelles that lock in the removed colour and activate the moisturizing and anti- oxidant qualities of a sage concentrate.

“TURNKEY SERVICE” CATEGORY

Winner

Jury’s favourite

 Fullcycle Anti-Ox Booster, by OPAC. A 100% recycled emulsion, from the formulation matrix to the active ingredients, associated with an ecological packaging system. The matrix is composed of raw materials with a common aspect: they are derived from the transformation into functional cosmetic ingredients of essentially discarded food by-products.

Finalists

 Bottoms Up Stick, by TK Cosmetics. A large part of the contents of a lipstick is wasted, as the part retained by the inner cup cannot be used.

 This My Second Life! Click ’N Go Mascara, by Brivaplast Group. A PCR recycled material version of a mascara with a one- handed "click" system for opening and closing that replaces the traditional two-handed cap screwing.
