FOR FORMULATION CATEGORY WINS COLEP CONSUMER PRODUCTS (Portugal)
The concept impressed the jury with its focus on the growing wound-care market while offering an easy-to-use, sensorial application technique of advanced scar-healing actives.
Jurors pronounced the Skin Shift Repair Wand – which delivers synergistic actives to promote scar recovery – as a “very relevant concept,” and “super-innovative in a growing category.” The wand delivers actives captured in a biomimetic gelling emulsifying system inspired by phospholipid structures, which both optimizes skin affinity and the targeted delivery of actives. This delivery system supports the actives’ controlled diffusion on fragile skin, while a breathable plant-based film-former creates a second-skin barrier that protects the skin as it heals.
The formula also contains epidermal growth factor, betaine, and niacinamide, which all support re-epithelialization, regulate fibroblast activity, and encourage organized collagen matrix production during the skin-remodeling phase of scar healing. The formula is housed in an airless tube with a precise pen-like applicator and a cooling metal tip. The panel pointed to its “ease of application,” and the “truly breathable formula.” Offering a non-occlusive alternative to silicone treatments, jurors noted that the wand could be “a genuinely worthwhile option for helping with scarring.”
FOR PACKAGING: DESING & MATERIALS CATEGORY WINS SHINKWANG M&P (South Korea)
This versatile packaging solution, the jury found, solves the issue of zero-touch dispensing, keeping the formula hygienic while being easy to use.
“Super-easy to use,” and “very versatile” were among the compliments jurors had for this packaging tube concept, dubbed Zero Touch. The hands-free application is thanks to a patented piston dispensing technology. When pressed, the formula is dispensed directly through the center of the integrated puff applicator for hygienic application without touching the contents by hand.
One juror noted that the packaging “solves a real, persistent pain point and feels entirely viable.” The tube’s air pressure-driven piston, meanwhile, pushes the formula upward – right up until all the formula has been used – so excess residue and product waste are minimized. The package also includes an on/off locking function to prevent leakage when the tube is being carried. Suitable for foundations, sunscreens, and creams, jurors liked how the packaging is “very versatile [for] different formats” and “would be great…for on the go.” The tube is crafted from mono-material PP, with a matte PP option, and is compatible with silk screen printing, hot stamping, and eco-friendly label applications.
