Black Medicine Iced Coffee, innovator of the first cold pressed RTD (ready to drink) coffee, is expanding its all-natural product line with the launch of a Lavender Latte to complement its existing Iced Coffee, Mocha and Latte items.

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 😉

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 😉

A new fragrance delivery machanism from Byredo just hit the social media channels: Blow by Byredo. You blow the perfumed air on your skin instead of spraying it.

This device also allows customization: there are 5 fragrance capsules inside, which are blended according to your taste to create you own signature.

Blow seems to be inspired by electronic home fragrance diffusers.

And? Are you blown away by this innovation? Yours, Fran

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.”

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.

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

RUIK is a start-up company that is crowdfunding for their sustainable perfume project called “Verschil” (meaning difference).

The idea behind is to create a perfume that is 100% natural and on top sustainable, plus handmade.

The founder sister and brother are gathering left-over orange peel from different locations and mix it with other plant-based ingredients. Their first perfume is called EAU D’ORANGE.

Speaking about sustainability, Ruik also focuses on the packaging: You can either send them your own packaging and let it fill with a 10% discount, or you order their dried orange peel packaging.

This is their crowdfunding site.

Let’s get involved! Have a sparkling beginning of the week! Yours, Fran

Imagine walking into a restaurant and having to decide between edible or reusable cutlery… That may actually be the case in the near future with reusable and edible packaging ideologies.

Bakeys, a company based in India makes cutlery that is meant to be eaten after use. If you do not want to eat it, simply throw it away. Insects and stray animals will eat them or they will degrade naturally in less than three days.

“These are made of flours. 100% natural. We have tried making them with various flavors”.

Here is their company video:

Have a great start of the week! Yours, Fran

Sensitive skin ??? Naked solutions

fragrance, In-Imitable, Moscow, naked, Neretin Stas, packaging, packaging of the world, product design, Russia, scent

Neretin Stas, a Russian product designer, has created a conceptual package design for a collection of intimate care products. Following the idea that the most gentle and delicate cosmetics are intimate care products.

Reflecting the character of its contents, the package also stands all naked. Its tender color and soft curves resemble the human body, coming in oddly-shaped receptacles with surfaces that resemble human flesh.

The packaging is taking an interactive approach because every touch makes a bottle a little confused: as soon as you take it in your hand, it will timidly glow right where you touch it. This flirty effect is made possible by covering the package with special thermochromic paint reacting to warm hands. The description cautions, “Be gentle with this package, it is very shy.”

Titled ‘Naked’, the packaging signals its vulnerability, and more importantly, its authenticity.
