Paper manufacturer Schweitzer-Mauduit International has launched a new design office and "think tank," LeafLAB. The group will focus on a range of segments, including plant-based paper and botanical fibers, as well as plant fiber-based masks for cosmetic applications.

Using botanical fibers and extracts from plants such as hibiscus, lavender and green tea, LeafLAB designs skin care and beauty products. The materials are biodegradable and can store and release active ingredients in applications such as face masks, skin cleansing sheets and beauty patches for the eyes, face or body.
