PETplanet Insider Vol. 21 No. 12/20 www.petpla.net 47 BOTTLES A certified Nature Box Nature Box, a Schwarzkopf and Henkel brand, was approved as a natural cosmetic in autumn this year during which improvements were made to its packaging. The product contains 98% natural ingredients and comes in a bottle now made from 98% social plastic which has been collected from beaches and the countryside. The picture shows the product containing cold-pressed pomegranate oil which comes in a matching-coloured 250ml bottle. A self-adhesive label with a screw-on hinged press-down cap and dispens- ing spout round off the packaging. www.natureboxbeauty.com An aromatic shower from Tetesept Tetesept has brought out a revitalising orange and jasmine aromatic shower product under the name “tetesept: Formula”. It comes in a 250ml bottle made from 100% recycled material and is brownish in colour, rather reminiscent of old phar- macy containers. The vegan shower gel does not contain any paraffins, silicones or microplastics and is 98% biodegradable. Self-adhesive labels include information on the product and explain the company’s ethos. A dispensing spout integrated within the hinged lid closure makes this an easy to use product. www.tetesept.de A hair oil from Wella Wella has brought out a Deluxe hair oil product which comes in a slightly copper-coloured, clear 100ml bottle. It has a transparent adhesive label on the front through which the customer can clearly see the product and its slightly milky texture. The gold- coloured label on the back of the bottle provides information on the product and instructions on how it should be used. The oil is applied via a manually operated pump dispenser which has a glossy finish. An additional cap pro- tects against damage and inappropri- ate use during handling and storage. www.wella.com Love Nature: Refill bottles Henkel’s new washing and cleaning range, Love Nature, not only includes references to vegan, animal-friendly and the phrase “100% recyclable” or more appropriately “made from 100% recycled plastic” which is used by nearly all manufacturers in this sector but also that the bottles can be re-filled at selected pharmacy locations by using appropriate vending machines. In comparison to other well-established products, the brightly coloured liquids in horizontal shoulder bottles with a green cap and self-adhesive label are really eye-catching. Different bottle sizes are used depending on the product, e.g. 470ml and 960ml sized bottles for hand- washing and liquid colour detergents respectively. www.love-nature.info
