Abstract
Within the colored cosmetics industry today most brands are
only in it to win it. This market is worth billions of dollars and
everyone wants a cut. We are overwhelmed by this industry
on most social medias but mainly on instagram where we are
constantly encouraged by influencers to try the latest on the
market. The colored cosmetics industry promotes overconsumption.

The most common packaging materials for colored cosmetics today are glass and plastic. We are all very well informed
regarding all the negative aspects of plastic but did you
know that glass isn’t that great that everyone tells you. In

Within the colored cosmetics industry today most brands are

everyone wants a cut. We are overwhelmed by this industry
on most social medias but mainly on instagram where we are

market. The colored cosmetics industry promotes overconsumption.

The most common packaging materials for colored cosmetics today are glass and plastic. We are all very well informed
regarding all the negative aspects of plastic but did you
know that glass isn’t that great that everyone tells you. In
fact, industrial glass is based on silica sand that is classified as
a finite resource since it takes thousands to millions of years
to form. The more silica sand we use the closer we bring this
raw material to exploitation. The colored cosmetics industry
was in great need of packaging innovation.

By sending out a survey to common users of colored cosmetics assumptions could both be confirmed and disproved.
After studying the history of colored cosmetics and realizing that human beings had always, to some extent, been
obsessed with the color of the skin, a demarcation to only
liquid foundation was made. By learning more about the
circular economy, a business model that doesn’t compromise
our world’s resources, and taking much inspiration from
Tetra Pak, a foundation packaging mostly made out of carton
was developed. Carton is a renewable material and easy to
recycle.

We should care about this since we have a limited amount of
natural resources and to break obsolete patterns we need to
always strive for innovation. (Less)
