YOM Beauty has launched LipSafe, a lip mask formulated exclusively with food-grade ingredients to ensure safety if accidentally ingested. The product features “The Pebble” packaging, which combines food-grade glass with Sulapac Solid, a 100% bio-sourced material manufactured in France by FaiveleyTech to replace conventional plastics.
Why is the beauty industry shifting toward food-grade formulations?
YOM Beauty describes LipSafe as the first lip mask of its kind to use only food-grade components, operating on the principle that lip care should be safe enough to eat.
How does bio-sourced packaging replace traditional plastics?
YOM Beauty utilizes Sulapac Solid for the spatula and pearlescent lid of The Pebble. According to co-founder Laura DiGirolamo, the material was chosen for its durability, soft touch, and pearlescent finish, allowing the brand to maintain a luxury aesthetic while meeting environmental goals.
The production of these components is handled by FaiveleyTech, a French industrial partner specializing in high-quality injection molding.
