Jérôme Di Marino, Perfumer at MANE, attended the Esxence workshop entitled Bouquet of Responsibility: Navigating Sustainability in Artistic Perfumery (and Beyond). The topic of sustainability in perfumery is particularly relevant today, as it is crucial to ensuring the viability of the industry in the long term.   MANE’s commitment to sustainability is a powerful catalyst of its growth and success as a business that also benefits the well-being of the planet and society as a whole. This approach stems from a deep conviction and consists of concrete actions taken to transform our supply chain, raise social standards, and generally contribute to a fairer, more sustainable economy.   Taking the initiative to create the GREEN MOTION™ tool is a perfect example of this commitment, as it prioritises small local producers and product quality. It also leads to sustainable synthesis and extraction methods which in turn are used to develop sustainable fragrances. By using renewable or recycled raw materials, our perfumers can create responsibly, reducing their dependence on exhaustible natural resources. This green approach also opens new creative avenues, helping to shape a future where sustainability is an integral part of the fragrance industry.   Today more than ever, creativity and sustainability must go hand in hand. To ensure the longevity of their art, perfumers need to integrate ethical and sustainable principles into their compositions. This necessity not only appeases the conscience but also encourages innovation and the creation of more authentic, environmentally friendly fragrances. Together, we can take steps to ensure our industry flourishes for a long time to come.   #MANEGroup #sustainability #esxence #perfumery

Fragrances are Liquid Emotions♥️ The journey of founding THE HEART COMPANY was driven by a vision to create a #veganperfume line that connects deeply with emotions while embracing #love and #kindness—toward people and the planet. Bootstrapped From Vision to Reality Our mission was to craft fragrances that inspire connection and align with ethical values. Every decision, from scent creation to marketing, revolved around this purpose. Partnering with the right fragrance house was pivotal; after extensive research, we collaborated with experts from the world’s largest perfume house Givaudan to design vegan scents that evoke positive emotions. Maurizio Volpi played a key role. #thankyou The Creative and Scientific Process Bringing a perfume to life is a blend of artistry and science. We spent months -during the global pandemic - refining scent profiles and conducting rigorous R&D to ensure our fragrances were stable, vibrant, and safe. Design, Production, and Packaging Beyond the scents, we wanted our products to be visually appealing. Our packaging was designed to reflect the beauty and simplicity of our brand while remaining sustainable. Financing production meant balancing quality with cost, from sourcing ingredients to manufacturing and packaging. Global Expansion & Strategic Partners To make THE HEART COMPANY accessible, we launched on major platforms like Amazon and built captivating brand stores to stand out. As a German-based brand, finding the right partners in the U.S. 🇺🇸was critical for navigating #logistics and building a presence overseas. Building a Digitally-Native and Community-Driven Brand A strong #digitalpresence is essential for any modern beauty brand. We created a seamless bi-lingual online store and developed content—images, videos, and storytelling that embodied our values. Social media became our connection to customers, allowing us to build a loyal community while adapting to their needs. All with very limited marketing budget on hand. Certifications and Fulfillment Earning vegan certifications by The Vegan Society was more than a formality; it was a commitment to #transparency and #ethical practices. Establishing efficient logistics networks across Europe and the U.S. was an important part as well. A Lean Team with a Big Vision Behind every step was a dedicated team of mostly freelancers, passionate about creating products that resonate with customers on a personal level. From R&D to marketing, every effort reflected our commitment to delivering high-quality perfumes and fostering meaningful connections. The Heart of the Brand At The Heart Company, we believe that #fragrance is more than a product—it’s an emotional experience. Every detail, from the scents to the packaging and storytelling, was crafted with purpose. Through passion, creativity, and unwavering commitment, we’ve built a brand that touches people’s hearts. Let’s spread love and kindness together! ❤️#cleanbeauty https://lnkd.in/dAUi4mHV

🌿🌍 Gusti Leather GmbH: Sustainability in Leather Processing In our pursuit of #sustainability, it is crucial to base our decisions on #facts rather than myths. Let's take a closer look at the #environmentalimpact of leather and why it can be a green choice. Here are some key points to consider, specifically relevant to Gusti Leather: • Leather as a #byproduct: At Gusti Leather, we exclusively use leather from animals slaughtered for meat production under "halal" or "kosher" standards. By doing so, we utilize materials that would otherwise contribute to landfills, significantly reducing environmental risks. • #Durability and #repairability: Gusti Leather products have a remarkable lifespan and can last for decades due to our high-quality craftsmanship and material selection. This results in fewer frequent purchases and less waste. • CO2 footprint: Through our #transparent production and the use of byproducts from the meat industry, we substantially minimize CO2 emissions compared to synthetic alternatives. • Regulated production: Our partner facilities in Italy and India adhere to strict governmental regulations and international standards, ensuring environmental and social responsibility. We employ water-based technologies and advanced wastewater treatment systems. These points, supported by our own efforts and standards, underscore leather's position, particularly Gusti Leather, as a #sustainablematerial. In the pursuit of a sustainable future, let's challenge misconceptions and make informed decisions. So, support brands that prioritize #durability and #environmentalfriendliness while adhering to stringent #environmentalstandards. 💪🌍🌱 #SustainableFashion #EcoFriendlyChoice #GustiLeatherGmbH #EnvironmentalImpacts #SustainabilityMatters #ConsciousLiving #GreenFashion #EnvironmentallyConsciousChoice #ChooseWisely #LeatherSustainability

Thanks WWD for featuring our Bubbles series in your summary of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna! 🤩 Our CEO Dominic Bakic described it perfectly: "The whole topic of sustainability is a big subject and breaks down in recyclability, more material reduction and low CO2 footprint in manufacturing. But we definitely have another big pillar, which is the whole world of making [packaging] more experienceable… Something that can go viral. It can be a decoration or some stackable solution, but it has to be something that you can really communicate.” #bakicgroup #bakicdesign #bakicbeauty #packagingmadeingermany #sustainablepackaging #premiumpackaging #beautypackaging #packagingdesign #skincarepackaging #packaginginnovation #innovations #innovativepackaging #cosmoprof #cosmopack #cosmoprof2024 #cosmopack2024
