Day 1 – (R)evolution of natural ingredients? Live Stream on Oct 19th at 2:30 pm CET
|
| Shifting to 100% natural or bio-sourced ingredients is more than a simple switch of raw materials. Such an evolution brings us to fundamentally rethink how we innovate, our manufacturing conditions and the very nature of ingredients we formulate with. It therefore calls for new expertise and new stories. Introduction to a small (R)evolution. |

President of the Cosmetothèque

The new challenges of innovation
We often address of the challenges of ecological transition in terms of radical ruptures or paradigm shifts. In opposition to this general idea, Jean Claude le Joliff, biologist and innovation specialist, invites us to take a break and formulates a proposal for a more syncretic approach, reconciling different knowledges of Science.

Thierry Marcel,
Research Director at Roquette ; |
The new nature of functional ingredients;
Solvents, preservatives, texturizers ... Derived from simple processes with a very low environmental impact, produced on a large scale and at competitive prices, efficient and equipped with multiple functionalities, bio-based functional ingredients radically renew the potential for expression and innovation of formulators. As a specialist in technological transformation projects, Thierry Marcel invites us to dive into the heart of the plant-based ingredient world.

| Day 2 – Is nature really a sustainable concept? ? Live Stream on Oct 20th at 2:30 pm CET |
| Nature is arguably one of the most common words shared by cosmetic brands today. But are we always sure of what we are actually talking about? What if – for brands and innovation itself - the most urgent need was to precisely rethink the very relation to nature? |
Pascale Brousse,
Founder of Trend-Sourcing

For a new ethic of sustainable development
Faced with the rise of individual consciousness, the transition to a green, carbon-free economy seems the only way out. The changes requested will be brutal and unprecedented. In this perspective, how can corporations - as much as citizens - become a force for proposals, so that a new relationship with the Living is established and our lives preserved?

Philippe Msika,
Innovation and Development Director at Yves Rocher
|
From active naturality to a holistic Man-Nature relationship
Within Yves Rocher, Philippe Msika is not only missioned to developed new sustainable products, but also to transform the Group’s entire innovation ecosystem. Adressing topics such as active naturality or the holistic relation between Humans and Nature, he will explain how the very expression of naturality is currently evolving within Yves Rocher, from a communication point of view as well as from a materials, formulas and product claims perspective.

| Day 3 - Bio-innovation: towards a systemic approach of naturality ? ? Live Stream on Oct 21th at 2:30 pm CET |
| What if tomorrow's innovations were fundamentally inspired by the Living? Circular economy, regenerative agriculture, industrial symbiosis, collective intelligence ... The understanding of the interactions between design and action, upstream and downstream, or production system and ecosystems, now leads us to think about innovation in a resolutely systemic and lively way. Welcome to the new era of bio-innovation! |
Sébastien Dutreuil,
Research Scientist at the French CNRS |
Introduction to Earth Science
The knowledge produced by Earth Science transforms the way we think about the Earth, the environment and the place occupied by Humans. Looking back through the history of Earth Science, Sébastien Dutreuil, researcher at the CNRS in philosophy, suggests that we question our thinking about sustainable development.

Cécile ADDA,
CSR Manager for the grain sector at French Interprofession Intercéréales

Developing meaningful agricultural practices
As major player in the bio-economy, Roquette sources more than 90% of its raw materials in France. In the country, the cereal sector represents 15% of the territory. Keeping in mind the relationship systems between upstream and downstream, Cécile Adda invites us to discover the challenges and new promises of a virtuous agriculture on a large scale, explaining the steps taken by the Interprofession Intercéréales in this direction.

Biorefinement: a new ecosystem of production and innovation
Way before ecological issues took center stage, biorefineries have imagined production methods where everything is thought out in a systemic and circular way. Today, the starch sector shows us that biorefinment is not only the source of green alternatives to petrochemical solutions, but also a way to produce original molecules capable of inspiring new formulation opportunities..
