Aptar Beauty announced the addition of Novus Advance to its Advance Collection on 17 September 2026. The company describes it as a full-polyolefin cosmetic pump for hair and body care, using polypropylene and polyethylene in its cartridge. It reports 350 and 500 microlitre dispensing options and a cap-free, twist-to-lock design.
Aptar also reports compatibility with recycling streams when the pump is paired with specified bottle materials, and says it has passed its in-house ISTA-6 Overbox testing. The release recommends compatibility testing and cautions that shipping-test results can vary with container shape, container size and formula. For body care buyers, those qualifications deserve as much attention as the launch headline.
Our procurement interpretation is that a new pump design should trigger a review of the complete package. A pump, bottle and formula form one dispensing system. Start the sample brief with the intended body lotion, oil or cream, the bottle specification, fill quantity and intended sales channel.
Ask the packaging supplier to identify the pump version, neck finish, dip-tube specification and compatible bottle options. Ask the formula team which sample version will be used. Keep those identifiers together so that a successful trial can be repeated. A supplier's broad compatibility statement does not replace evaluation of the selected combination.
The announced dose options offer a concrete question for the development team: how much product should one actuation deliver for the intended use? Request samples in the relevant options rather than choosing from appearance alone.
For a practical comparison, agree on how to record priming, dose consistency, dispensing effort and residual product. Include observations after storage and repeated use under conditions agreed with the responsible technical team. These are proposed buyer checks, not test results for a Lanthome product or an assertion that every formula will work with this pump.
A reported transport test is more useful when the configuration is known. Request the report or a suitable technical summary showing which bottle, formula, fill level, pump setting and outer packaging were evaluated. Compare that configuration with the pack intended for your online orders.
If your bottle or shipping carton differs, ask the supplier which parts of the evidence remain applicable and which checks should be repeated. Agree on acceptance criteria for leakage, damage and dispensing after transport before approving the final sample. A component-level marketing description cannot settle the performance of an untested retail shipment.
Aptar's announcement links its recyclability statement to the accompanying bottle material. Our recommendation is to retain that condition in procurement discussions. Ask what assessment supports the claim for your precise pack, including decoration, labels and other components, and which destination-market collection and recycling arrangements were considered.
Do not turn a supplier's design claim into an unconditional statement on finished-product packaging. Have the responsible team review the proposed wording and its supporting evidence before artwork approval. This news brief does not establish certification or compliance for a particular market.
Create a single sample request that connects the formula version, bottle drawing, pump option, transport configuration and proposed packaging claims. Then assign each unanswered question to the relevant supplier or technical reviewer. Confirm availability and commercial terms for the actual project.
Explore the Lanthome Skincare product range and share your body care project brief with the target market, format and packaging priorities. The packaging discussed here is Aptar's announcement; component sourcing or availability requires separate project confirmation.
