Alpol Cosmétique, the architect of enhanced sensoriality

The French contract manufacturer unveils 10 new creations and wins the gold medal at the Sensory Bar Award with two next-generation hybrid suncare formulas.

Previewed at Luxe Pack 2025, the Blur Velvety Mousse Foundation Base SPF50 combines “the softness of a veil, the caress of velvet and the lightness of a cloud” within an airy galenic form that is protective, mattifying and smoothing, with a cashmere-like finish. In the same vein, Blur Cream-to-Powder SPF50+ merges skincare, make-up and UV protection in a tinted anti-wrinkle compact, blending smoothing bakuchiol with Ultra Filling Spheres^™ – hydrating hyaluronic acid-based spheres.

Alpol’s photoprotective expertise is also embodied in the Ultra-Fluid Anti-Dark Spot SPF50+. Weightless, it relies on Water Touch technology and delivers triple-action protection: shielding, anti-dark spot and radiance-boosting. Its Bright Pigment Control active targets lipofuscin and melanin to correct hyperpigmentation, supported by niacinamide and a resurfacing bio-enzyme. The range is complemented by a biomimetic emulsion with a silicone-like feel: the CC Cream SPF50, featuring encapsulated pigment technology that releases colour upon application. Finally, Perfectint Serum SPF50+ introduces a new sun-care gesture: this tinted serum delivers a velvety powder finish with no greasy or sticky residue.

Skincare is equally well represented with the Boosting Spicule Shot. Inspired by microneedling, this skin-activating serum contains over 500,000 BisaCore Spicules. Coated in bisabolol, they create microchannels to optimise the delivery of firming peptides, BioTech retinoids and balancing actives. A high-tolerance treatment, Cica Retinol combines a duo of retinols with a protective, soothing pro-resilience complex, while the Active Defence Serum enriched with B vitamins shields the skin from the exposome.

Finally, Alpol Cosmétique reinvents the stick format with three novel formulas: highly sensorial, the Velvet Touch Stick SPF50+ replaces the typically greasy, sticky feel of sun sticks with an invisible velvet finish. Translucent, the Fragrance Power Stick contains 7% fragrance for on-the-go scented touch-ups, while the Icy’Pearl Stick takes a playful approach with an unexpected texture: 100% aqueous, this ultra-fresh “cushion” illuminates the skin in a single gesture.
