Quadpack has expanded its eco-conscious YouWood cosmetics collection with a new refillable lipstick product.

The YouWood range is a response to a demand for more natural materials in packaging, according to Quadpack, which bills it as a sustainable and aesthetically attractive solution.

“YouWood’s attractive wooden caps, lids, and cases are crafted at Quadpack’s own manufacturing facilities using ash wood that has been harvested from sustainably managed forests – an asset to any brand,” the company said.

Its new refillable lipstick tube with a click closure joins YouWood’s jars, pots, tubes, and bottles, as well as its lipgloss, mascara, and compact solutions.

“Refillable lipsticks are the latest in sustainable make-up formats. The YouWood lipstick comes with an optional refilling mechanism that is easy to recharge, and provides an intuitive, cost-and-residue saving feature that will make consumers feel good,” said Quadpack.

The company promises further expansion to the range as demand continues to grow.

Ferrero has gained more ground in the US through its acquisition of WK Kellogg for $4.7 billion (US$3.1b). Since 2018, Ferrer has acquired Nestle's US chocolate business for $4.25 billion, Kellogg's cookies and fruit snacks unit for $2 billion, and ice cream company Wells Enterprises.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) says it won’t oppose Lactalis’ proposed acquisition of Fonterra’s consumer and food service businesses, if the bid goes ahead. While it would see two of the largest buyers of raw milk combine, the ACCC says it is “unlikely” to result in a lessening of competition.
