Cosmoprof India Mumbai 2019

India: A Hot Spot for International Marketers

Posted on by

We were recently invited to present on the latest developments taking place in the professional beauty sector at the second edition of Cosmoprof India in Mumbai. It was an amazing experience to see how the event expanded from its premier edition in 2018—not only in terms of space and time but also in the form of exhibitors and attendees.

What caught our eye in particular was the wide presence of international exhibitors who gathered from 23 countries, according to organizers. Coming mostly from Europe and Asia, these marketers were looking to form alliances with Indian distributors and expand their global presence by entering the Indian beauty market. Among these are Eldan Cosmetics, Mediterranea Cosmetics, Italcosmetici, LookX International, Sifarma, and Yuya in Europe and Doosun Cosmetics, Beyond Cosmetics, Misocos, Natural Korea, and S.C. Artistry Company Limited in Asia.Continue reading→

Good Hair Day, Just a Swipe Away

Posted on by

Have you forgotten to book your salon appointment? Impromptu meetings keeping you from looking your best? Worry not—the solution now comes in a pint-sized sachet.

Hair sheets are like towelettes enriched with oils and formulations that fight frizz, static, and flyaways from root to tip. Purse-portable and easy to use for quick fixes, they make a great alternative to bottles of creams and sprays.

Innovations such as these sheets have contributed to the growth.Continue reading→

The multichannel movement among professional brands has grown in recent years, but how different companies react to it varies.

Many examples of such brands can be found among newer players on the market, such as Oribe (now owned by Kao), Alterna (among Henkel’s brands portfolio), or Living Proof (a Unilever brand). Among well-established marketers that have had a multichannel approach for many years is Estée Lauder with brands like Aveda and Bumble and bumble. In the United States, Aveda even has its own vertically integrated stores.Continue reading→
