Rexams Latest Lotion Solutions: Nea and Prodigio
Wednesday 25. February 2009 - Based upon years of research and patented innovations, Rexams latest lotion dispensing solutions - the sleek Nea pump and the airless, ergonomically advanced complete package, Prodigio - represent a new generation of personal care product packaging.
Both are neutral, easy to use and offer cutting-edge performance. And both offer opportunities for customisation and are engineered to preserve and enhance the most sophisticated personal care formulations – and delight consumers throughout the life of the product.
With Nea or Prodigio, cosmetics brands benefit from Rexam Personal Cares global production network, which features production sites in Europe, America and Asia for total flexibility and reduced production timeframes for international launches.
NEA
In the world of lotion pump dispensing, Nea represents the ultimate expression of superior form and function.
Available in plastic, or metal – for more luxurious products – Nea is the perfect choice for upmarket facial applications for men and women, such as serums, eye or lip formulations, lotions, foundations, skin whiteners and moisturizers.
The neutral design of this pump protects formulations against incompatibility thanks to a spring which is located outside the dosing chamber. Neutrality is further assured by use of a glass ball.
Flexible and simple to prime, Neas consumer appeal is enhanced by its easy actuation — a press of the finger dispenses high viscosity creams with extraordinary ease.
Thanks to its customisable components (cap, push-button and collar available in a large choice of colours and finishes), Nea is available in 3 sizes (100ml, 150ml and 250 ml) and can be customised in specific coverings to respond to the most exacting design requirements.
PRODIGIO
Prodigio is a high-performance, airless dispenser that offers unmatched levels of cleanliness and neutrality.
Prodigio is perfect for a wide range of applications for men and women in all markets (mass market, masstige, and prestige). These include facial care products (moisturising creams, anti-aging creams, masks or scrubs), hair or body products, shaving products, pharmaceutical products (particularly anti-acne types with a high concentration of retinol) and baby care products.
This packaging is first and foremost totally neutral. There is no contact between the lotion and any metal part or elastomer.
Secondly, Prodigios Cleanpoint closure guarantees perfect closing of the exit tip. This patented mechanism solves the problem of dried cream deposits and eliminates the risk of the system clogging. It also makes it impossible for any product to flow back into the dispenser and keeps the product from being altered in any way by air, light or skin contact. The lightest actuation of the push-button delivers a dose with precision and security, with no splatter or clogging.
Made only of polypropylene and polyethylene with a single capacity (50 ml, 1 ml dose), Prodigio is 100% recyclable.
