LuxePack in Green Award - Ephem by Ma Balise
Philippe, founder of Ma Balise, alongside the giant Amcor. The only two winners of the LuxePack in Green Award 2025. Proof that innovation doesn't need size, but vision.

While others talk about sustainability, the luxury & cosmetic industries reward our tangible innovation.

Stop Selling a Paradox.

Imagine your new ‘clean’ serum, in its recycled glass bottle, inside its FSC-certified box… with a plastic chip inside that will outlive your grandchildren by 90 years.

This is the hypocrisy you are selling today. A permanent piece of pollution attached to your promise of purity.

Ephém™ is the technology that puts an end to it.
