    About Lyme Disease

    Lyme disease is destroying lives. Failed diagnostics and dismissal by many in the medical community leave thousands undiagnosed. This results in worsening symptoms and makes the disease nearly impossible to treat. Everyone is a risk of contracting Lyme through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, and its estimated there are 900 new cases every day, 200 of which are children. A recent joint study by scientists at GLA and Brown University estimates the number of post-treatment Lyme disease cases could exceed two million by 2020. Countless are suffering and we need to find answers.

    Special Events at CosmoprofAsia

    I was looking forward to see the special project at CosmoprofAsia this year after being so impressed by the nail polish case study by Centdegres in 2016. So I arrived at The Light Powder Room Factory with high expectations! Spanning the two venues and a concreted example of the beauty process from A-Z, I loved how Centegres captured the beauty trend of highlighting, strobing and bronzing in one simple theme: Light.

    I even got my 3D Cotton Candy iridescent sneakers ready for this occasion 🙂 

    It begins at AWE where Pack/OEM/Machine/Ingredients create the palette that tells the story of light.  Here the machines do all the hard work, of grinding, mixing and pressing the powder into the palette.

    Once its passes through here, the batch tray gets sorted and the design gets pressed to the top surface of the powder. Then it is moved by the robotic arm to the conveyor belt in one swift motion. This creates efficiency and precision so that each item created is identical and can pass QC.

    Once it goes down the belt, it is then pressed, closed and complete! You can see on the left corner how the trays looks ready to go into the outer box. Sometimes this will then be inserted into another outer packaging made of card stock so the product is retail ready. In this case, since it was just a demo product, the compact is complete and ready for next steps.

    The ‘Light Powder Factory” is a real installation showing the development and production of a compact powder specailly designed by Centdegres, in collaboration with international suppliers. From making the packing, the perfect combination of creativity and technology.


    The Light Powder is 1 project across 2 venues so off to the next venue we go!

    The Light Powder Experience is awesome.  Similar to the nail experience last year, this installation involved a very cool ‘quiz’ to determine which palette is perfect for you. It has a combination of graphics, photos, quotes, and textures for you to pick. Mine was ‘Forever Light”.

    Then to take it to the next level, the Light Powder Photo Booth playing with light patterns to reveal your true beauty was genius.  Anyone who take photos will tell you ‘lighting is everything!’

     

    The CosmoAwards showcased the winners of the Innovation Circle Awards. With over 300 nominations, congratulations to all the winners this year. It is worth checking out all of the brands mentioned even if they were runner ups.

    Brings awareness to the immense value that lies in the formulation, technology and packaging design and take in special considerations the new technologies that lie underneath our beauty industries.
