LIBO Showcases PPWR-Ready Packaging Solutions at MakeUp in Paris 2026

LIBO Cosmetics successfully concluded an inspiring two days at MakeUp in Paris 2026, where we had the opportunity to reconnect with beauty brands, industry partners, and innovators from around the world.

Throughout the exhibition, we introduced our latest packaging developments with a strong focus on sustainability, circular design, and brand differentiation. The event provided valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, explore future collaborations, and discuss how packaging can support the evolving requirements of the European beauty market under the PPWR framework.

One of the highlights of this year's showcase was our PPWR-ready mono-material PET compact. Designed with recyclability in mind, the compact is constructed entirely from PET—including the mirror—eliminating the need for material separation during recycling. By replacing conventional glass mirrors with a PET mirror, the design helps simplify the recycling process while maintaining the premium appearance and functionality expected by today's beauty brands.

The round compact also features a clean, modern silhouette that can be customized through a wide range of decorative finishes, allowing brands to combine sustainability with distinctive visual identity.

We sincerely thank everyone who visited the LIBO booth and shared their insights with us. Your enthusiasm continues to inspire us as we develop packaging solutions that balance innovation, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.

We look forward to seeing you again at MakeUp in New York, where we'll continue showcasing the next generation of sustainable cosmetic packaging.

The New Era of Lip Care: Where Skincare Meets Precision Application

As the "Skinification of Makeup" movement continues to reshape the global beauty landscape, consumer expectations for lip products have evolved far beyond pigment and finish. Lip care is now firmly embedded in daily skincare rituals — from exfoliating scrubs to active treatment balms — driving demand for formulas that deliver both visible results and sensorial pleasure. Against this backdrop, packaging has emerged as a critical brand differentiator. The right applicator doesn't just deliver product; it shapes the entire user experience. Precision contouring, formula-compatible texture, and tactile performance have become non-negotiables for brands competing at the forefront of the lip care category.

Flocked Tip Applicator: Seamless Color, Defined Precision

Engineered for brands that demand flawless performance at every touchpoint, the flocked tip applicator is available in two expertly crafted designs, purpose-built for liquid lip colors, glosses, and smooth-texture formulas. The dense, velvety flocking conforms seamlessly to the contours of the lips, delivering smooth, even color application with every stroke. Buildable by nature, the applicator supports effortless layering, allowing brands to offer consumers a customizable coverage experience, from sheer wash of color to full, high-impact pigmentation. For brands where finish and precision are everything, the flocked tip applicator sets the standard.

Soft & Flexible Applicator: Gentle Exfoliation, Elevated Lip Care

As lip scrubs and treatment textures become staples of the modern skincare routine, the applicator behind them matters more than ever. The soft and flexible applicator is designed with two distinct tip options to meet the full spectrum of exfoliation needs. The grid-patterned tip delivers intensive, targeted exfoliation, ideal for formulas engineered to slough away dead skin cells with efficiency. For a gentler approach, the rounded tip with scattered nodules diffuses pressure evenly across the lips, offering a softer, more indulgent exfoliation suited to sensitive skin or everyday use. Together, these two options give brands the flexibility to build a differentiated lip care line that speaks to every consumer's routine.

Tactile Innovation Takes Center Stage at Luxe Pack New York: Precision Applicators and Elevated Scrub Packaging Draw Beauty Industry Attention

Metal applicators and ritual-driven dispensing solutions offer brands a refined path to differentiation through sensory experience

At the recently concluded Luxe Pack New York, one question emerged as a defining theme across conversations with beauty brands: how can packaging create meaningful differentiation through tactile experience? The answer, it turns out, lies in the details — the weight of a metal tip, the precision of an applicator, the ritual of a well-designed dispenser.

As consumers increasingly seek out products that deliver more than functional efficacy, packaging has become a critical touchpoint for communicating brand values and elevating perceived product quality. Two areas drew particular attention on the show floor.

Precision Applicators: The Cool Touch of Luxury

A curated range of applicator designs — spanning diverse shapes and materials — was presented to attendees, with metal applicators emerging as a standout highlight. Offering an instant cooling sensation upon contact with skin and a massage-like application experience, metal applicators represent a compelling opportunity for brands seeking to convey refinement and efficacy.

From eye serums to facial treatments, the integration of metal applicator components translates a premium product story directly into the moment of use — reinforcing brand positioning with every application.

Skincare Scrub Solutions: Where Function Meets Ritual

For brands working with exfoliating and scrub formulas, a new generation of packaging solutions was introduced — designed to marry functional dispensing with an elevated aesthetic sensibility. These structures are engineered to improve usability and maintain formula stability, while transforming what was once a routine step into a more intentional, ritual-driven skincare experience.

As the skincare category continues to blur the line between efficacy and experience, packaging that reinforces a sense of occasion — and performs reliably at the same time — offers brands a powerful tool for building consumer loyalty.

"The conversations at Luxe Pack New York confirmed what we have long believed: that packaging is not merely a container — it is the first sensory handshake between a brand and its consumer. Tactile innovation is where brand stories come to life."
