celebrating independent innovation abroad:

The Indie Beauty Media Group celebrated its fifth anniversary by launching the first-ever Week of Independent Beauty.

Indie hot spots throughout England’s capital formed the first-ever international Week of Indie Beauty, with Content Beauty & Wellbeing hosting the marquee event the night before the two-day trade show. In addition to building buzz amongst beauty enthusiasts, Indie Beauty Week fortified IBMG’s ties with key European retailers, allowing the organization to better facilitate connections between retailers and the 80-plus brands presenting merchandise at IBE London.

Packed with discounts and event highlights online and in-store, Indie Beauty Week participants included clean beauty pop-up platform Blomma Beauty, luxury retailer Oxygen Boutique, K-Beauty authority Luckyface, e-tailer Showcase Beauty, natural beauty digital destination Glow Organic and Feelunique, the leading beauty e-commerce platform and IBE parent company Indie Beauty Media Group’s retail partner.

Feelunique, an online retail partner for Indie Beauty Media Group’s Adit program, shone brightly at a stellar popup exhibition space at IBE London.

Under the Future of Beauty banner, the collaboration between European online retailer Feelunique and IBMG, serves as a permanent section of the e-commerce giant’s site and gateway for Feelunique’s customers in the United Kingdom to purchase products from nonnative independent brands. IBE London featured a refreshed array of the Future of Beauty collection at the Feelunique space, the second year running that the e-tailer celebrated its brand at IBE. 4 T H E A N T H O L O G Y O F I N D E P E N D E N T B E A U T Y | V O L U M E V, I S S U E 5 | L O N D O N 2 019

It’s important to have a physical presence when launching emerging brands to a new territory. It’s beneficial for the brand to tell stories and engage with customers, enabling them to test the products and absorb knowledge directly with the brand representatives. —Nigel Lawmon Commercial director at Feelunique

October 23-24, 2019

Innovative beauty was the main attraction for buyers scooping up new offerings.

Call it a beauty blitz. More than 80 independent beauty, wellness and personal care brands from 20 countries showcased groundbreaking approaches to sustainable positioning, trend-setting packaging and new product formats that collectively heralded the wave of the future.

The press showed up in force at the Old Truman Brewery, with 130 reporters and influencers vying for leads and representing such outlets as WWD, Glamour, Vogue Business and Refinery29.

Over 300 buyers from 170 retailers

were also in attendance, including representatives from Net-a-Porter, Whole Foods, Harrods, Superdrug and Cult Beauty, KaDeWe, Boots, Superdrug, John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, Fenwick, QVC, Beauty Mart, Planet Organic, Le Bon Marche, Asos and Origins of Beauty. “I attended Indie Beauty Expo last year, too, as a buyer and loved checking out the selection of indie brands from all over the world from France to South Africa,” enthused Luckyface founder Emilie Le. “It’s great to see indie beauty brands showcase their products all in one place.”

#IBELondon2019 London is home to some of the world’s most legendary retailers large and small.

Its thriving beauty scene has helped cultivate homegrown and imported boutique brands that are now rallying around the Indie Beauty Expo flag. As in IBE’s other U.S. international outposts, beauty is now taking center stage in London: The expo provides a beauty-centric opportunity amid the U.K.’s traditional mixed-trade fairs.

The timing couldn’t be better as new retail entries Onda (which began in NYC) and the breathtaking spa/cafe/apothecary concept Linnaean pointed to the strength of the London beauty market as much as the glittering new beauty halls of iconic

department store Harrods. With the U.K. open for business and emerging brands leading the charge for the development of sustainable beauty, the London expo is a leading destination for the hundreds of global brands on IBMG’s roster.

MAIIRO Maiiro was born from a desire to help skin look and feel better, naturally. Created in Guernsey, Maiiro was inspired by the sea and shoreline that is an ever-present part of life on this beautiful island. Whilst on the journey to create Maiiro, they formulated their signature ingredient, Kelpogen5™ to harness the full power of seaweed, a skincare superfood that gives all complexions the nourishment and protection they need to look their best, for all ages and skin types.

Maiiro’s line-up of anti-aging cream, anti-blemish cream, organic soap and organic lip balm took over two years to formulate to ensure, wherever possible, that organic and vegan ingredients are used. Committed to protecting the source of its powerful formula, Maiiro uses only sustainable harvesting methods to collect the seaweeds, ensuring the delicate ecological balance of the ocean is respected and preserved for future generations. maiiro.com

VIRTUE L ABS Dr. Luke Burnett, a retired US Army Colonel, leads a regenerative medicine lab in Winston-Salem that works to heal battlefield injuries using keratin. He and his team discovered a way to extract human keratin in its purest form—it’s called Alpha Keratin 60ku™, and it has the power to help heal burn wounds and regrow tissue. By chance, they found it can also repair hair.

Virtue set out to bring this transformative protein to hair care. Alpha Keratin 60ku™ is extracted from ethically-sourced human hair, so our bodies recognize it and treat it as our own. It binds directly to areas of damage and fills them in, revealing hair that’s shinier, stronger, and overall more healthy. For the first time, we can actually repair hair—even after the damage is already done. virtuelabs.com

Trend Report THE INNOVATION GENERATION

Our team at Beauty Independent matched the intensity and dedication of brand innovators to capture all that was eyegrabbing and groundbreaking. Editors and photographers engaged in months of pre-show prep and post-show production as they corralled the most significant trends at IBE’s biggest show. The result? An exclusive collection of eight trends and 24 brands forging new growth in the market.

1.

Sustainability Stars The United Kingdom has stronger environmental laws than the United States, and the pressure on companies to be green has led to production and supply chain innovation that can be used as a blueprint for their counterparts across the pond aiming to reduce carbon footprints. Waterless formulations, zero-waste initiatives and ECOCERT certifications were prominent at IBE London 2019.

2.

Plain And Simple Austerity was on display at IBE London as many exhibitors chose to forgo packaging flourishes and creative colors for black and white logo-less labels that let the formulations speak for themselves.

3.

The Look Of Luxury While some brands took a pared-down approach to their packaging and products, the other end of the spectrum was jazzing up the expo floor, too. High price points and pretty shiny things abounded at IBE London, proving that not everyone yearns for the simple life.

Indie beauty brands are known for clean formulations that tout natural, organic and wild-harvested ingredients. Their sophistication is being taken up a notch with products powered by cutting-edge science developed by doctors and scientists to deliver dramatic results.

6.

Male Mayhem It’s raining men’s brands. The indie beauty boom has been largely fueled by concepts directed at women, but the gender balance is shifting, at least slightly. Brands are multiplying to cater to evolving notions of masculinity and capitalize on an accelerating men’s personal care business. Allied Market Research forecasts the global men’s personal care market will advance at a compound annual growth rate of 5.5% to reach $166 billion by 2022.

CBD Crazy The CBD phenomenon isn’t restricted to the U.S. In the U.K., the CBD segment is on pace to be worth 1 billion pounds in 2025. That’s close to $1.3 billion. As the segment explodes, new brands are popping up to serve CBD up to curious cannabis consumers.

IBMG’s big plans for its next two shows include the European and west coast debuts of Uplink Live.

If Dallas IBE is all intimate Southern charm, and the New York show is boisterous and busy, IBE Los Angeles has a sunny vibe that epitomizes the California-cool emphasis on health and wellness. For the fifth anniversary of the first show, the 2020 expo will be the biggest IBE LA yet with the west coast launch of both the Week of Indie Beauty and Uplink Live, an in-show companion to IBE where brand founders meet quality
