New trend for cosmetics

At Luxe Pack 2006 in Monaco, Gerresheimer for the first time presents to the
cosmetics world a new form of opal glass with an intrinsic
delicate tint creating a totally alluring aura. For creative
design it opens up undreamt-of possibilities. A special
display of the first flacons and pots – all still in prototype
form – brings a future trend tangibly close (24 to 27 October,
Halle Ravel, Stand RC 14).
In high-gloss or frosted form, with a smooth or textured surface, the
shimmering creamy-coloured containers evoke dreams of ivory or a
sandy sea shore and yet are made purely of glass, with all the
properties which distinguish top-quality cosmetics packaging - the
satisfying weight in the hand, the beautiful touch to the finger, the
resonant sound. In addition to these emotional values, they offer
the complete imperviousness of glass and full hygienic protection of
the cosmetic product.
With opal glass in particular, there is another key factor. Simply
because of its totally natural raw-material base, this glass with its
delicately nuanced tint has the same opacity as the familiar white
form – so provides built-in protection from light, making colour
coating unnecessary in many cases. “Opal glass is certainly
something special and, in the world of cosmetics, has stood in high
regard for a considerable time, “ says Burkhard Lingenberg, Director
of Corporate PR and Marketing for the Gerresheimer Group. “With
OpalNuance we offer more than just a colour alternative to the
usual white glass: we are confident that it creates a new market for
opal glass.”
