“Our first concern was to find a packaging which enables us to propose to medical aesthetics practitioners a ready-to-use gel administrable by electroporation, while guaranteeing the formula’s stability and integrity” says Paul-Albert Charpentier, Export Manager at Guna.
Eden’s airless piston system permanently prevents air from entering the dispenser, hence protecting the product from contamination making the use of preservatives unnecessary. For Guna, that resulted in the removal of parabens in the formulation of its new gel, with advantages at several levels.
“This airless packaging technology enables us to anticipate a future regulation prohibiting parabens and to take one step ahead on a niche market”, underlines Paul-Albert Charpentier. “It costs more than conventional solutions, however, its advantages in terms of image in particular, are much more important. For instance, the product is marketed in a higher range and the absence of conservative is more coherent with its naturalness.”
After this first and successful collaboration with Airlessystems, Guna intends to go further. “Our objective is to use the Airlessystems technology to gradually eliminate preservatives from the formulation of all our creams”, Mr. Charpentier concludes.
