The lavender flower is increasingly being used as a culinary herb in food and beverages and is known for its floral and spicy aroma.

These initiatives are being introduced as the company is reporting accelerated consumer sales growth during 2018. During the first 4 months of 2018, Black Medicine same store sales volume increased an impressive 58%, over four times faster than the overall refrigerated RTD coffee category which experienced solid growth of 14% and represents one of the fastest growing beverage categories.

This seems to be a new lifestyle trend: feeling relaxed, yet energized and powerfully alive.

This is a new cleansing product concept from LANEIGE, enriched with green tea and peppermint. Easy to use, its new format is especially convincing: a mild herbal cleansing tea bag containing real tea and cleansing powder in a tea bag.

You don’t need any cleansing oil, foam or foam nets. You can now cleanse your face with a simple tea bag.

Containing enzyme powder, it exfoliates excess keratin from skin surface. Here is how to use it:

Basically, we could do our own cleansing products at home as well! Let’s be a bit creative 😉

A trash-to-table mindset – 1 ingredient cocktails

The London based restaurant Duck & Waffle launches one-ingredient cocktails, where they explore the level of flavour achievable from one ingredient.

The menu features 10 cocktails named after the ingredients they are based on, such as Olive, Tomato, Avocado and Red Pepper. Each part of the ingredient is used – from tomato skins and red pepper stalks to spent coffee grounds and walnut shells – to showcase its versatility and minimise waste.

‘We have amazing ingredients to work with, why bastardise them with other flavours? I want them to shine in all their glory,’ Rich Woods, head of cocktail development at Duck & Waffle. ‘I wanted to illustrate how much flavour can be extracted from a single ingredient and show the levels of complexity that can be obtained from multiple elements of a single source.’

Basically, what we see in the markets is that mixologists are increasingly adopting a Trash-to-table mindset, repurposing ingredients that are typically discarded to create innovative new serves.

Brands are reducing the water content of their products, driven both by sustainability concerns and by consumer demand for more concentrated, effective products.

Love Beauty and Planet started with one goal…

Bildergebnis für Love, Beauty & Planet

“To make you more beautiful and give a little love to our planet. We want to help make a little difference towards a happier, less wasteful planet, with every shower. Our approach is a holistic one, encompassing the entire product life cycle and beyond. We’ve given careful thought to our ingredients, product packaging, and social partnerships. We call it our passionate journey of #smallactsoflove, and we’re just getting started.”

Bildergebnis für Love, Beauty & Planet

Unilever has launched a water-smart initiative which aims to develop products across its brands that reduces its water footprint. The brand’s new Love Beauty and Planet collection, launched in 2018 in the United States, incorporates “fast-rinse technology” in hair conditioners so less water will be used.

Also L’Oréal has committed to reduce 60% of water consumption per finished product by 2020, compared to the amounts it used in 2005, and is already making efforts to reduce water consumption in its plants.

Our future will be brighter! Yours, Fran

The Smell Memory Kit by Sissel Tolaas

This is not new, but I always wanted to report about it… now I finally find time for it!

The smell scientist Sissel Tolaas has spent seven years collecting 7,000 scents. Now, her work is helping people make memories with the smell memory kit.

How does it work?

From the smell of your mother’s cooking to the perfume worn by your high school sweetheart, smells can instantly transport us to a time and a place. That is the concept behind the smell memory kit, which links important life moments with a scent.

Abstract smells are smells that have NOT YET been connected with any memories so far. The kit enables you to carry these abstract smells with you, perfectly protected in the metal Smell Memory Amulet. Whenever you want to eternally record and memorize a moment, you just break open the Ampule, release the abstract smell molecules and take a deep breath.

This kit has been developped by Supersense, a concept store in Vienna, in collaboration with Sissel Tolaas.

I find the idea behind great! What do you think? Yours, Fran

Re-inventing fine fragrances – water based perfumes

When someone thinks of perfume the first thing that comes in mind is alcohol. The second thing might be oil, but no one ever thinks of water. In an attempt of total fragrance re-invention, three brands create organic water-based perfumes to prove that simplicity can be miraculous.

Bildergebnis für CB I Hate Perfume “SCENT IS LIFE”

“SCENT IS LIFE”. For Christopher Brosius, the creator of CB I Hate Perfume, the point of a perfume is its scent. As he argues “Your sense of smell is one of the most important factors that defines you as YOU. Perfume is meant to be enjoyed.”

Bildergebnis für CB I Hate Perfume

In his effort to create a fragrance that creates feelings and memories, Brosius used the challenging base of water and managed to mix it with oil even if it isn’t rather easy.

Other examples of water based perfumes are Eau Triple by Buly 1803, and Pure Rose and Pure Neroli by Behnaz.

Could the use of water instead of alcohol catch-on as consumers look for more ‘natural’ and ‘less harsh’ options?

Sorry guys, I was on holiday and moved in the meantime as well… lots of new things happening at the moment!

I found this Missha brand promoting their ‘meditanical’ toner. Quite interesting way of presenting and also the word play of medicinal and botanical!

Well, a nice eye-catching packaging can make the difference!

Enjoy your summer holidays 😉

The worlds first distilled non-alcoholic spirits

Cocktail bars are also expanding their options to attract trendy teetotalers.
Meet Seedlip, a non-alcoholic “spirit” distilled from herbs. In 2017, Seedlip
was added to the cocktail menu at bars including the NoMad Bar at the
NoMad Hotel in New York, and the American Bar at London’s Savoy.

Seedlip contains no alcohol, but the taste calls to mind a liquor, elevating the mocktail experience through its flavor profile and artistic branding.
“You’ve got a good, long, grapefruit citrus finish,” founder Ben Branson told
The Challenger Project. “This is something to sip. It’s not something to gulp
down. There’s an adult aspect to this.”

Bildergebnis für seedlip
Why it’s interesting: The global alcohol market saw a sluggish 2016, including
the first decline in consumption in the United States since 2011, according
to figures from the International Wine and Spirits Record.

Bildergebnis für seedlip

By comparison, the global non-alcoholic beverage market is projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2025, up from just over $967 billion in 2016, according to a 2017 report from Grand View Research. In the future, look for more elevated experiences geared specifically towards non-alcoholic drinkers.

What a beautiful packaging!!! Already looking at it makes me happy! Yours, Fran
