Taiki Group, a manufacturer of makeup and skincare tools, dispensers and products, recently announced to have successfully eliminated preservatives from mascara formulas, while keeping the products free from microbial contamination. An exceptional technical achievement, based on EcoG+, a new anti-microbial resin.
Actually, microbial contamination is an issue of very high concern for mascara, as it can have serious health consequences. “It only made sense to introduce EcoG+ for an eye product. Risk of eye infections has a negative impact on mascara sales and some common preservatives can be irritating. Creating the first mascara that has no preservatives, yet is still safe to use is revolutionary,” states Jim Perry, President and CEO of Taiki USA.
For years Taiki has been looking for a method to safeguard packages. By incorporating silver and silica, through a patented process, Taiki claims to have achieved a break-through in packaging technology.
“With EcoG+, the package provides preservative protection, and the silica allows for a 40% - 70% reduction in use of petrochemical resins,” adds Jim Perry. “We are extremely excited about the introduction of EcoG+. It has taken years to deliver a product that improves safety and is in the right direction for the environment.”
Taiki is about to launch the EcoG+ resin in lip gloss tubes, jars and functional containers for make-up and skincare uses.
Headquartered in Japan, the Taiki group has factories in Japan, China, Malaysia, and France and sales and marketing offices in Tokyo, Paris, New York, Shanghai, and Singapore.
