Beauty is priceless! Despite Europe's current crisis, the cosmetics market continues to do well. COSMOPROF Asia, the major perfume and cosmetics event opening in Hong Kong next November 14th, will be hosting substantial foreign participation and a large number of national pavilions, including that of UBIFRANCE - the French Agency for International Business Development - which will feature no less than 67 companies.
The global cosmetics market is estimated a USD 73b, up 38% over the past five years. With sector exports reaching USD 13.8b in 2011 - up 6% as compared to the previous year, France is establishing itself as the leading supplier in the region thanks to an offer that is constantly renewed and uncompromising when it comes to quality.
As they further pursue their growth, natural and organic products have come under a new European harmonised listing called COSMOS-STANDARD. In keeping with their cosmopolitan nature, the product formulations include the noblest materials on the planet: Argan oil, Barbary fig, honey, seaweed etc. Manufacturers are still discovering or rediscovering their benefits. The trend has been around for some years now, but is getting more sophisticated with time. The concept of fair trade is being added to environmental friendliness.
In parallel, the concept of medical cosmetics is spreading, providing the general public with products that were hitherto the preserve of dermatology and aesthetics professionals.
For their part and still striding the border between medicine and cosmetics, food supplements come in powders, phials or tablets to solve skin or weight-control problems.
The offer is segmenting and become customised. Ranges intended for men are developing and becoming specialised. Babies, children and teens now have not only their own hygiene products, but also cosmetics designed specifically for them.
Advances in galenic pharmacy and in packaging also make it possible to provide products for all occasions. The "On the Go" range offers utter simplicity, practicality and usability under any circumstance.
The concept of wellness is everywhere, and lines specifically intended for spas and beauty care institutes are becoming ever more appealing.
Perfume has not been forgotten. Whether finished products or fragrances for cosmetics, the offer is substantial, featuring subtle scents of the kind that conjure up pleasant tales or bewitching regions.
A number of exhibitors will be there to offer sub-contracting or support services in brand development.
To sum up, the offer will be exhaustive, presenting a wealth of novelties made by companies that are already well established or by newcomers only just discovering the market. A French Buzz will assemble nine companies that made the journey to establish their initial contacts in the country.
Attendees will include the French Beauty Care Enterprises Federation, the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster and the Chamber of Trades and Crafts for Ile-de-France.
The UBIFRANCE Pavilion will feature all of its exhibitors in Hall 1E, Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, from next November 14th to 16th.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
