First of all, when I first walked in I thought, ‘Oh! This feels exactly the way it did in the beginning.’ Putting up our own booth, watching other people, brands I didn’t know, the excitement in the air, the young entrepreneurs…It felt really, really good and felt as if we had come back to our roots. A lot of big people came, I mean Neiman’s is here, Macy’s is here, and HSN is here, and they’re all educating themselves, too. They see that the real innovations coming in this industry are coming from young entrepreneurs pushing the industry forward. And we like being part of that.

As a direct result of having a booth at IBE, my company ManiGlovz received a ton of press. In addition to that we were approached by a video producer at AOL / Yahoo who produced and published an incredible video that was aired to all of their major outlets resulting in a million and a half views and a huge increase in new sales. We are thrilled with our experience at IBE and of course the amazing people we met from IBE. —Kim Motola, Founder, ManiGlovz 18

ENFUSIA Debra Myers, Enfusia founder, developed eczema and was frustrated with traditional bath and body products which used harsh chemicals and fragrances that worsened her condition. She blended sweet almond oil and a few drops of lavender and rose essential oils and the mixture soothed her dry skin and didn’t leave her scratching. From this base, she started mixing all kinds of essential oils and natural ingredients to make lotions, washes, bath bombs, and salts.

Eventually, Debra named her company Enfusia (in-fyu-sha), a feminine play on the “infusions� she was developing. Before long, she outgrew her kitchen and partnered with an herbalist and a chemist, which gave the products stability and integrity. They have developed a full line of bath and body products created with the infusion of botanical extracts, vitamins, essential oils and natural ingredients. No harsh chemical ingredients are used, ever. enfusia.com

SE A BUCK SWIT ZERL AND SKINCARE Human Afschari, Buddhist and founder SEA BUCK SWITZERLAND Skincare, began his journey to Buddhist traditions and the timehonoured wisdom of the region in the Himalayas. The sea buckthorn used—rich in antioxidants, flavones, minerals and vitamins, especially vitamin C and B12—grows in the Himalayan region of Ladakh.

Known as the “holy fruit of the Himalayas“ and a “miracle fruit“, sea buckthorn has been prized for centuries for its nourishing, healing and rejuvenating effects. The all-embracing wisdom of natural sea buckthorn from the Himalayas is the soul of this valuable skin care line with infinite power of regeneration. The orange berries of the Himalayan sea buckthorn are, in addition to other natural ingredients such as Q10, snow algae, Bi-molecular hyaluronic acid and royal jade powder, the primary ingredients in this luxurious skin care line of SEA BUCK SWITZERLAND Skincare. seabuck.ch

SUNIA K. COSMÉ TIQUES AUTHENTIQUES New York-based Sunia K. cosmétiques authentiques helps women be at ease with themselves by offering a luxurious potent ingredient from Tunisia. Unlike any other brand, Sabrah (or Prickly Pear oil) is produced in the eco-certified farm that invented the green process extraction machine (which is less than 40 miles from the founder’s childhood home). The production of Sabrah helps reduce unemployment and empowers men and women farmers in Tunisia, ultimately strengthening their community.

Sunia K.’s experience with psoriasis allows her to attest to Sabrah’s purity and positive results. Sabrah is unique because it helps minimize skin issues, and intensely guard against signs of aging. It’s an effective user-friendly product that responds to many skin concerns and carries a premium price.

Luckily you only need 2-3 drops to experience its full skin-saving benefits. sunia-k.ca

VIC TORIAL AND BE AUT Y VictoriaLand Beauty (VLB), founded by Victoria Watts, began when Victoria took her personal skin challenges— hyperpigmentation, oiliness, advanced aging—into her own hands.

Always a health and wellness advocate who cares as much about what she puts on her body as she does about what she puts into her body, she deferred to the power of nature as she hand mixed and blended hundreds of naturally active, non-toxic ingredients in her kitchen.

Out of Victoria’s kitchen comes a naturally simple, yet effective line of 3 multitasking, skin-loving treatments— VLB’s Skin-Loving Moisturizer, Eye/Lip Treatment and Face Oil. These natural wonders empower women with skin that looks and feels good enough to Go Naked! Whether you choose to go with or without makeup, you’ll feel great knowing that your skin is at its naked best.

ARTISTIC OUTSIDES

Acne treatment patch specialist Avarelle launched last year exclusively on Amazon. Patches were a relatively novel concept at that point, but people scouring Amazon for pore strips landed on the brand. Those accidental purchasers soon piled up: Avarelle is racking up 200 to 300 sales per day on Amazon.

Whether harnessing internal or external talent, brands are enhancing their packaging with artistic designs to make their products covetable and collectible. Apto chose Barcelonabased Paula Ribo and Anna Falco to provide, respectively, a poem and design for its product.

Coowner David Nicholson told our editors, “Transdermal patches are a discreet way to optimize the reception of hemp and other plants extracts into the body.”

VOLCANIC INGREDIENT ERUPTIONS

Though the Kilauea volcano’s activity has been hot news throughout the summer, new brand O’o Hawaii uses other sources of volcanic rock for its Detoxifying Face Scrub, which resurfaces the skin and improves circulation.

ARÔMS NATUR

Gildren Alejandro, co-founder of Rose Shell LLC, U.S. distributor of Arôms Natur, believes the Spanish brand’s Love Your Breasts product is the only prestige breast massage oil in the beauty segment. Its cold-pressed essential oils aim to nourish breast skin and fill a gap in the market. “When it comes to the breast, people only think of products for breastfeeding,” she says.

WHEN

...we hope to help more women to normalize their relationship with their breast.

— Kerri Leslie

Noniko, Co-founder

NONIKO

The brand’s bio-cellulose breast mask Beauty And The Breast contains a patented ingredient called volufiline that managing director Jenny Jhung describes as promoting fat cells. She says the product is popular with women once they’re mothers.

“Many of us forget to do our self-checks regularly, but we never forget our anti-aging ritual.

By incorporating Boob Balm into your daily beauty ritual, we hope to help more women to normalize their relationship with their breast,” says Noniko co-founder Kerri Leslie.

CLEAN CLINICALS

The perennial knock on clean skincare is that it falls short on effectiveness. Brands are taking that charge head on with clinical testing, once an anomaly outside of the conventional beauty realm, to demonstrate synthetic chemicals aren’t the only potent ingredients on product labels.

Veriphy Skincare, Venn, Restorsea

7.

MIGHTY MICELLARS

A few years ago, micellar water, already popular among Parisians, made its way Stateside with a big splash. With the product now well-established, brands are stepping up their micellar water game with natural ingredients and multifunctional formulas.

8.

OLD INGREDIENTS, NEW FORMATS

If there’s nothing wrong with a staple ingredient, why abandon it in favor of the flavor of the week? Brands are sticking with staples, but changing up the types of products they include them in to offer variety to customers.

After a decade of swallowing apple cider vinegar, Pip Summerville, founder and creative director of Tonik, grew tired of its taste, and she was told by her dentist it was damaging her teeth.

In partnership with her father Glenn, a pharmacist, she translated apple cider vinegar into pill form. Summerville says Tonik’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules have no taste and smell, and are highly concentrated. She elaborates the capsule format “delivers and provides the same benefits as the raw ingredient without any of the side effects in easy to-take dosages.”

CBD + NATURE

RAD RITUAL

Katherine Marinaro, founder and co-formulator of CBD+Nature, launched her brand in January with two medicinal products: a sublingual Tincture Oil and a Nourishing Pain Relief Cream. At IBE New York, Marinaro also introduced CBD+Nature’s facial care line with Repair Serum and Healing Créme.

Founder Chloe Nordlander amplifies the healing effects of CBD in her nine-product beauty and personal care line with specific oil blends. She details, “Our anti-acne formula is [made] with pumpkin seed oil, which gently exfoliates to give a really good base to the CBD to fully absorb. It also has tea tree and black cumin oils. Our menstrual and pain-targeting oils have a higher CBD content. Our Womb Boom menstrual oil has 250 mg. The pain balm stick has 500 mg. Those are all blended with gentle soothing ingredients so the CBD can penetrate and build up over time.”

TULIP

Tulip was launched as a vegan and cruelty-free fragrance collection in 2007 by Victoria England. Earlier this year, England expanded Tulip to include tinctures and topical creams infused with CBD from organically-grown hemp to address the root of inflammation and free radical damage.

10. Teen And Tween Beauty Gains Steam Who can resist a sparkly, flavored lip balm that looks like a lollipop? Flickable CEO Alyce Cucurullo thinks most females from grade school and up cannot. She says, “I view this for teens, tweens and potentially younger girls. A first lip gloss, like Bonnie Bell.” An industry veteran, Cucurullo spent years working on products with formulations she had no power over. Knowing how important ingredients are to today’s consumer, Cucurullo took an active role in making sure Flickable was clean, yet affordable.

BRANDS PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

No longer a drugstore afterthought, the oral care category—from high tech tools to charcoal-infused gum to alkalizing mouthwash—got a welldeserved glow-up at IBE NY 2018.

Alka-White, BlackChicken Remedies, My Magic Mud, VIP Smiles, First Salt After The Rain

PURPOSEFUL PRODUCTION

For brands striving for the cleanest formulations possible, it makes sense to green their entire production process. Many brands on the IBE floor shunned beauty product stalwarts like plastic packaging and waterbased formulations to forge more sustainable production paths.

Alkaglam, Ethique, OrganiCup

ALT SHAMPOO

Damage caused by harsh surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate traditionally found in sudsy shampoos has helped make dry shampoo powders and sprays essential beauty products for millions of beauty consumers.

DOCTORS WITHOUT PARABENS

Medical professionals weren’t early adopters of natural skincare ingredients. However, a burgeoning field of clean beauty brands started by doctors is proof of a major shift in mindset.

15. Not Your Mama's Masks K AIBAE

Founded by naturopathic doctor and humanitarian Luc Maes, baobab specialist Kaibae creates clean, nutrient-rich products while working to revalue lost crops in regions where natural resources are abundant and poverty is endemic. The brand’s Baobab Leaf Face Mask resembles a sheet mask, but uses organic baobab leaves handpicked and sun dried at the peak of their nutritional content. Just soak it in warm water or lotion for one minute and apply.

SKIN FORUM

Building on a trend we spotted at the 2018 edition of Dallas IBE, Public Displays Of Skincare Patches got even more bold in New York. Created by Voesh co-founders Vera Oh and Joseph Choi, SkinForum’s Glam In Paradise line of under eye, lip and full face sheet masks are covered in leopard print gold foil. Now users are not only inclined to snap a selfie once the masks have worked their magic, but also during the 10-15 minutes they’re on.

IBE promised a bunch of buyers, press and consumers and it delivered. The buyers were legit and they came to actually BUY. So there’s a level of authenticity with IBE. It’s a real trade show with real buying power. I was so impressed by the other exhibitors.

This show doesn’t just accept anyone. It was beautifully and carefully curated. This made me feel really great being a part of such an amazing line-up of brands.

Europe, get ready.

INDIE BEAUTY IS ON THE WAY! LONDON, INDIE BEAUTY IS COMING. In less than a month, IBE will kick off its first show abroad, with IBE London. A gateway to the European beauty market and showcase for emerging U.K. brands and retailers, London taps the international power of independent brands. Then, in 2019, IBE Berlin expands awareness among German-speaking consumers, the European Union’s strongest economic demographic. Together with IBE’s retail partner Feelunique, the largest

digital beauty platform in Europe, the shows unite brands from around the globe. They represent a two-pronged approach to expanding the European market and supporting the independent entrepreneur. As in the U.S., European retailers are intent about finding emerging brands as a way to differentiate their offerings from competitors, and to quickly react to growing consumer demand for indie beauty brands. As always, IBE is ready to help.
