(I know, right?!) Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, owned by beauty giant Estée Lauder Companies (which recently acquired Too Faced Cosmetics as a part of a burgeoning brand portfolio that also includes Origins, M.A.C., and Clinique), will continue to exist, but B<span style="text-decoration: underline;">rown is expected to leave the company by the end of the year</span>. (Read: like ten days from now.).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And while we're sad that the creative genius behind Bobbi Brown Cosmetics (the Bobbi Brown—the one who sat in the backseat of an Uber with our beauty editor recently—more on that later) is leaving her brand, we know it's still in good hands as Peter Lichtenthal, global brand president, will continue to oversee the business in her absence. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">While Brown has yet to reveal her next move, sources speculated to WWD that she'll have a new business endeavor to focus on in 2017</span>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But hang on. Let's pour one out for Bobbi Brown and her line for a second. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I'd argue that she was not only one of the original pioneers of the natural beauty look, but rather the official inspiration for the no-makeup makeup movement that I actually live by</span>. It's soft, pretty, and frankly unfiltered in a world where seemingly everything is Facetuned, Photoshopped, or "tweaked just a tiny bit." Fabrizio Freda, the CEO and president of the Estée Lauder Companies, told WWD that Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is a "global prestige cosmetics powerhouse, with a highly promising future, poised for its next chapter of growth."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Exactly what that chapter will entail, of course, remains to be seen.

Men’s skin is not the same as women’s; younger skin has different needs than older skin. Skin may be dry or oily. And skin – the largest organ in the body – differs in another way: it comes in a beautiful range of tones which are visible links to our genetic and ethnic heritage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>So what are the broader influences behind consumer choices when it comes to skin care products?<br /></strong><br /><strong>Skin: an evolving story</strong><br />In many regions of the world – China being a case in point – the population is still fairly homogeneous and people may have quite specific skin care needs based on cultural as well as biological factors. DSM Consumer Insight researchers who went to that country found that definitions of beauty in China often differ widely from those cited in many Western countries. They also found that <strong>Chinese women had different anti-aging skin care priorities, tending to be less worried about wrinkles than about loss of skin elasticity, enlarged pores and uneven tone.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For manufacturers of skin care products this presents both challenges and opportunities.</strong><br />A DSM Insights team that conducted a field study in Los Angeles and New York among mothers, daughters, aunts and friends obtained a myriad of rich insights into their notions regarding <strong>ethnicity and skin care</strong>. Many interviewees declared their opposition to the idea of categorizing people by ethnic group, believing that this simply isn't consistent with people's views of the world today, or their view of themselves.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The take-away message from consumer insights is therefore that the need for multifunctional skin actives which work equally well for all skin tones and types is set to grow.</strong><br />In their study DSM investigated the global applicability of a peptide ingredient amongst three different ethnicities (Caucasian, Asian and African), whereby they discovered new cosmetic properties.</p><ul><li>Multifunctional anti-ager for all skin tones</li><li>Visible reduction of the signs of aging and shiny skin</li><li>Improved skin smoothness and appearance resulting in younger-looking skin</li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">The peptide therefore has applications as a global anti-aging cream and serum, and as a skin beauty maximizer mask.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>FROM L2 / THE DAILY THURSDAY / MARCH,31, 2016</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://whatsnewinmarketing.blogspirit.com/media/01/01/376792600.png" target="_blank"><img id="media-913045" style="margin: 0.7em 0;" title="" src="http://whatsnewinmarketing.blogspirit.com/media/01/01/740130015.png" alt="beauty, brand, cosmetics, korea, china, baidu, digital" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Innisfree is one of the most popular Korean beauty brands in China,</strong> as evidenced by its high search volume on Baidu, Taobao, and Youku. (Innisfree was the top Beauty brand according to both the Taobao and Baidu Indexes.) L2 research finds the success of Innisfree to be a result of robust digital properties on the brand site, mobile, in-store and on social media.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Innisfree maintains a sophisticated brand site designed for consumers to spend time on</strong>; a gamified cross-channel loyalty program, user-generated content syndicated from multiple social platforms, and video libraries are among the features offered. Furthermore, the brand site ensures product research and purchases are seamless with grid pages that include quick-view and product pages featuring reviews and recently-viewed products. The brand’s site is also mobile optimized with swipeable carousels and mobile-specific offers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Social media also plays an important role in Innisfree’s success.</strong> Consumers can create a customer profile by logging in with their Weibo, QQ, or Alipay accounts. These accounts allow Innisfree to create an omnichannel loyalty program that tracks online and offline purchases. Users can also gain points by engaging on social media or checking into a brand site.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Innisfree’s Spring 2015 social campaign “Summer Love”,</strong> featuring Korean influencers Lee Minho and Yoona, became one of the most successful campaigns among Korea Beauty peers. The campaign promoted the Innisfree Summer Foundation Cushion with five videos on Youku with the storyline of a young couple. The two most viewed videos from the campaigned averaged 181,000 views, more than four times the brand’s average video view count. The Youku campaign was supported by desktop and mobile advertising, as well as WeChat and Sina Weibo promotions. The most successful WeChat post was viewed 10,600 times while the campaign’s Sina Weibo post remains the brand’s most engaging post with 2,000 interactions. But much of the success is evident in the sheer number of users who spread the word; the campaign hashtag #innisfree received 17.7 million impressions and 36,000 mentions on Weibo. Yet, Innisfree expanded the campaign beyond just promotions, and connected the buzz to shopping. The popular couple remains featured on the Innisfree Tmall site to promote products and maintain brand buzz.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bit.ly/25yupHr" target="_blank">[READ THE ARTICLE ONLINE]</a></p><p><img src="http://whatsnewinmarketing.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/1695665363.jpg" id="media-913046" alt="" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Learning about your makeup may be more than just a fashion decision. According to a new study published Monday in Environmental Health Perspectives choosing personal care products wisely could reduce exposure to hormone disrupting chemicals.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Commonly found in makeup, deodorants, toothpastes, and other personal care products, these chemicals have the power to block or mimic natural hormones in the body, like estrogen and testosterone.</strong> Messing with these natural systems may present health risks, particularly for pregnant women, children, and teenagers, according to Kim Harley, an epidemiologist at U.C. Berkeley and one of the study’s lead authors. While the average woman uses 12 personal care products each day, the average teenage girl uses 17, making them especially vulnerable where health effects exist, she said.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Teenagers are going through a period of rapid growth and development,” said Harley. “We’re concerned that exposure during adolescence might have long term health consequences.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>While these chemicals are found elsewhere too — in products like air fresheners, cleaning products, and fabric softeners</strong> — researchers from U.C. Berkeley and Clinica de Salud del Valle de Salinas suspected that personal care products, which go directly on the skin or in the mouth, might be major contributors to daily exposure. They wondered if consumers could effectively lower that exposure by paying attention to labels and avoiding certain worrisome ingredients in the products they took home from stores. They asked 100 teenage Latina girls from Salinas to forgo using their typical personal care products for three days.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Instead, the researchers set up a “beauty bar” — a stockpile of products free from nine commonly used hormone disruptors including phthalates, parabens, triclosan and oxybenzon.</strong> They educated teens about the health concerns surrounding hormone disruptors and invited them to take home products to replace what they would typically use. Researchers wanted to ensure the changes could be tenable outside the experiment, so they stocked the Beauty Bar with skin moisturizers, sunscreens, makeup, and other care products that the teens could have purchased themselves from local stores.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The researchers tested for these chemicals in the girls’ urine before the trip to the beauty bar and after. At the beginning of the study, about 90% of the girls tested positive for hormone disrupting chemicals</strong>, confirming the researcher’s suspicions that they were being exposed. But three days after visiting the Beauty Bar, the concentrations of five of the nine chemicals decreased, suggesting avoiding their old products was helping. Levels of methyl parabens and propyl parabens, common preservatives in cosmetics, dropped 44 to 45%, while levels of other chemicals — triclosan, benzophenone-3 (BP-3), and metabolites of diethyl-phthalate — dropped 27-36%.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“After just three days of changing the products they used, they could lower their levels of these hormone disruptors,” said Harley. “Part of the takeaway is if consumers want to reduce their exposure to these chemicals there are steps they can take in terms of what products they buy.”</p><p><a href="http://bit.ly/1nTpr67" target="_blank">[READ THE FULL ARTICLE]</a></p><p><img src="http://whatsnewinmarketing.blogspirit.com/media/00/01/1671901292.jpg" id="media-911177" alt="" /></p>

<p><img src="http://whatsnewinmarketing.blogspirit.com/media/00/02/518682290.jpg" id="media-908798" alt="" /></p><p><strong>From Premium beauty news, extract of the Research on Trends lead by Les Persiennes Consulting, by Nilufar Khalessi</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After 35 years of isolation, Iran is making a comeback on the international stage. This little-known country, which already represents 29% of the beauty market in the Middle East, is often described as the ‘new eldorado’ for cosmetics brands. Nilufar Khalessi, the French-Persian Founder of trends and consulting agency Les Persiennes Consulting, has taken a look at this country for a first qualitative, forward-looking deciphering. She gave Premium Beauty News an overview of the study The New Faces Of Iran - Fashion, Beauty & Paradoxes, to be presented next May.</p><p>With a population of 80 million inhabitants, including 55% under 30, Iran is a growth-driving, dynamic market. The fact that international sanctions have been lifted and that the economic situation should therefore improve have made it even more attractive. But this country is not without its own paradoxes.</p><p>For a thorough understanding of unknown Persia’s trends and lifestyles, the study The New Faces Of Iran - Fashion, Beauty & Paradoxes first describes the historical, geographical, cultural, and social pillars that define the Persian civilization. As a tremendous cultural and historical cradle, the country that became an Islamic Republic after the 1979 Revolution, mainly defines itself according to its ancient origins. “It is a Muslim country, but people consider themselves Persians and Iranians above all. It is essential to understand this subtlety,” Nilufar Khalessi explains.</p><p>Despite an embargo that lasted for decades, the major cities of Iran have been experiencing much progress, driven by the dynamics of a 2.0, highly-connected, Western-oriented young generation. However, the choices made by these young people show they will not let foreign countries dictate their consumption habits, as they actually prefer national goods. “Young Iranians deliberately have not completely assimilated the Western culture, although they do know and master its codes, since they have integrated them. And we would make a mistake if we tried to force them into a mould,” Nilufar Khalessi adds.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Iranian women, a status apart</strong><br />As they are extremely educated – so is most of the population in large cities - Iranian women enjoy an important part in society. They are very present in institutions and play a crucial role, whether in the family or society. “The status of women is different from what can be observed in many Arab countries. Even the way they wear their veils is more lax, as it does not completely frame their faces and allows for much femininity to be seen,” Nilufar Khalessi explains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The study used portraits of women from Isfahan, Tehran, and Shiraz to shape the contours of a generation that has been playing with the paradox between their public lives, as they comply with the established Islamic laws, and their private lives, subverting these laws for more freedom, whether in terms of beauty or fashion. Women are deeply committed to this young generation’s active and creative development, in all artistic fields.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The face at the core of femininity</strong><br />“Iranian women hardly go out without makeup on, because the relationship with aesthetics is strongly developed,” Nilufar Khalessi affirms. Therefore, it is essential for them to beautify their eyes, eyebrows, lips, and hair. “In the city, the veil does not completely frame women’s faces. It is a real distinguishing feature: half the hair is uncovered, so women work a lot on it, often dying it blonde, and they are not keen on naturalness”. Facial care focuses on “zero defect” choices to fight against pollution-related problems, acne, or oily skins. In addition, the study highlights the very strong relationship with plastic surgery, in particular rhinoplasty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“They choose L’Oréal, Dior, Lancôme, and many other well-established brands for their daily consumption, although they also buy other products by interesting local brands to be studied,” Nilufar Khalessi concludes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1Y0kXHL" target="_blank">[READ THE FULL ARTICLE]</a></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This article pinpoints two important facts : American want stronger regulation of cosmetics in the US in order to protect beauty customers in their personal care but this also highlights a willingness for more protectionism of american skincare business in the US.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">WASHINGTON – A survey released today by the Mellman Group and American Viewpoint shows that voters overwhelmingly support stricter regulation of the chemical ingredients used in their personal care products.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">More specifically: </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>94</strong> percent believe that companies should be required to notify the government when their products injure consumers.<br /><strong>87</strong> percent believe federal officials should have the authority to recall personal care products found to contain toxic chemicals.<br /><strong>87</strong> percent want stricter regulation of personal care products.<br /><strong>74</strong> percent are less likely to purchase products from companies that fight regulation.<br /> <br />Almost two-thirds of likely voters want their cosmetics to be safe.<br /> <br />A third are under the mistaken impression that the government has cleared most of the chemicals used in personal care products. <br /> <br />“These poll results show that Americans want to ensure that the personal care products they use each and every day are safe,” said Scott Faber, vice president of government affairs at EWG. “Few consumers have any idea how minimal the current regulation of chemicals is. No other class of products is so widely used, and in such large quantities, with so few safeguards.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is very little regulation of the $60 billion-a-year personal care products industry. The federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act, which was supposed to guarantee the safety of cosmetics, is nearly 80 years old and falls far short of ensuring that cosmetics are safe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) have introduced a bipartisan bill to close this regulatory gap. It would require companies to ensure that their products are safe before putting them on the market and give the Food and Drug Administration the tools it needs to protect the public. The legislation, titled the Personal Care Products Safety Act, would strengthen federal regulations that have remained largely unchanged since 1938, requiring the FDA to review five potentially risky cosmetics ingredients each year and giving it the agency authority to ban or restrict ingredients based on these assessments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is the first time that federal legislation on this issue has earned the support of both consumer and industry groups including the Personal Care Products Council, leading cosmetic companies and major public health organizations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1ShiWXo" target="_blank">[READ THE FULL ARTICLE]</a></p><p><img src="http://whatsnewinmarketing.blogspirit.com/media/00/02/4124294175.jpg" id="media-908794" alt="" /></p>

Consumers need to have things recommended to them".</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Karen Grant, VP and global beauty industry analyst for The NPD Group, explains that retail trends, shifting consumer expectations, and brand innovations are “blurring the lines between what is mass and what is prestige."</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>And she emphasizes that many long-held industry truths are evolving. For instance, “for the first time in 2015, the fragrance category outperformed skincare. Fragrance dollars grew by 4%, and skincare by 3%,” Grant reports. </strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Fragrance sales are dynamic in core components like juices, and the market for home ancillaries is growing.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Beauty is moving very quickly, says Grant. “The trends in beauty are more diverse and moving faster than ever, as are the consumers.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Grant also highlighted the prevalence of artist and alternative brands among notable makeup launches last year—Urban Decay’s Naked Smokey Eye Shadow and Anastasia Contour Cream Kit New Light, for example. </strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1Te2gAQ" target="_blank">[READ THE FULL ARTICLE]</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
