Aptar Beauty will exhibit at Luxe Pack New York on 6–7 May, presenting a range of premium and sustainable packaging and dispensing solutions at booth C18 at the Javits Center.
The company’s display will be organised around the theme “The Joy of Beauty, The Beauty of Joy”, with a focus on consumer-driven innovations across fragrance, skincare and personal care categories.
Product highlights at the show will include the Nomad Refill, described as the industry’s first 10ml travel spray directly refillable from a full-size perfume bottle in under five seconds, compatible with standard SNI15 screw-on neck finishes. Also on display will be the NeoDropper Autoload, a dropper solution featuring an automatic filling system and short applicator designed to improve hygiene, dosage consistency and formula protection.
Aptar will also present its GSA Advance and PZ Advance pump ranges — a new generation of all-polypropylene and polyethylene dispensing and spray pumps designed for compatibility with plastic recycling streams.
The booth will highlight the company’s collaboration with Metaphase Design Group on inclusive design, applying human factors engineering and ergonomics principles to make packaging more accessible.
Aptar Beauty is also a finalist in the Sustainable Design category at the Dieline Awards for its work with French skincare brand Clarins on the reloadable Total Eye Lift Eye Cream. The packaging is based on Aptar’s Gaïa airless solution, featuring a metal outer casing and recyclable plastic reloads with a push-and-pull reload mechanism inspired by a ballpoint pen.
Ryan Kenny, president of Aptar Beauty North America, said the company’s latest launches demonstrated “the strength of our engineering, our commitment to sustainability, and our ability to help brands deliver elevated product experiences.”
