A LUNAR-INSPIRED NIGHT CARE JOURNEY
Welcome to a collaborative showcase that captures every stage of cosmetic product development—from the first spark of inspiration to a shelf-ready experience. This project highlights the partnership of formulation specialists, ingredient suppliers, brand and packaging designers, packaging suppliers, and printed packaging experts all uniting to create a visionary night care range.
​
At its heart is a five-product collection inspired by the phases of the moon, each phase reflecting both a stage of overnight renewal and the unique expertise of each partner. Just as the moon becomes whole, this collaboration comes full circle through unified contributions. From ingredients and textures to packaging and cartons, every detail reflects thoughtful design, innovation, and storytelling.
​
“From Spark to Shelf” is more than a concept, it’s a celebration of how collaboration and creativity illuminate the path from idea to reality.
