Opal wins silver at London Design Awards 2025 for Dareman Packaging Innovation

A collaboration forged in innovation

As a full-service supply-chain partner of Dareman, Opal worked hand-in-hand with Dareman’s team through an immersive co-creation process, translating the brand’s "He Dares" philosophy into tangible design language.

Packaging that dares to be different

Dareman’s packaging design is a bold departure from conventional men’s grooming products, created to reflect the brand’s core values of bravery, responsibility, and strength. With a focus on combining cutting-edge design with practical functionality, the packaging redefines what it means to merge form and purpose in the beauty industry.

A bold packaging concept

• Unconventional Inspirations:
  • Fire extinguisher-shaped aerosol cans and dumbbell-molded cleansing bars break category conventions.
  • A tactile mix of silicone grips, matte metals, and frosted glass elevates the unboxing experience.
  • Modular branding ensures visual consistency across product lines while allowing flexible adaptations.
• Sustainability Meets Utility:
  • Features recyclable PP (polypropylene) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) to minimize environmental impact.
  • Durable components like silicone handles combine longevity with eco-conscious utility.
• Striking Aesthetic:
  • Dareman’s signature colors—Molten Red, Obsidian Black, Titanium Gray, and Aurora White—create a layered and striking visual identity that exudes power and premium quality while enhancing brand recognition.

“This recognition at the London Design Awards is a testament to our team’s dedication to innovation, creativity, and sustainability,” said Kent Shu, Chief Executive Officer of Opal Cosmetics Group. “Dareman’s packaging is not only a bold expression of modern masculinity but also a reflection of our commitment to creating designs that meet the evolving needs of consumers and the planet. We’re excited to continue collaborating with brands that share our vision of pushing boundaries and delivering meaningful, impactful solutions.”
