34 Understanding Product Pricing by Dr. Edward Tony Lloneau
Two bottles of shampoo cost $3.99 or $12.99. If both have the same ingredients and claims, why are they priced so differently? Few understand why one product can resemble another in appearance and method of use, yet cost considerably more than the other. The reasons may surprise you.
제품 가격에 대한 이해 두개의 샴푸 중, 하나는 $3.99이고, 다른 하나는 $12.99 입니다. 만약 두개의 제품이 같은 성분을 함유하고 있다면, 왜 가격이 다른 것일까요? 한 제품이 모양과 사용 방법에서 다른 제품과 유사한데 왜 다른 제품보다 훨씬 더 비싼지 이유를 아는 사람은 거의 없습니다.

It’s easy to overlook the importance of charity and giving back when we’re consumed with the daily activities of everyday life. Volunteering can feel like yet another obligation on a long to-do list, and donating funds can feel unreasonable if business isn’t going well. But I challenge you to work past those hurdles and give back to the community you serve.
Why? Because from a business perspective, giving back can be very beneficial. For our 8th Annual Beauty of Charity edition, we take a look at the advantages of corporate giving and community involvement. For example, did you know that your business’s financial donations can be tax deductible? Sponsoring a charitable event can also qualify for that perk, and it can be a great public relations move, too. Several studies have shown that consumers support businesses that donate to a social cause or who support a charity. And if that cause directly impacts the community you serve, you better believe there’s going to be some increased customer loyalty coming your way as a reward. You can learn more about what research shows on corporate giving in our Expert Advice column -“Give Back – Why Leveraging Community Involvement Is Essential For Your Store’s Survival” - on page 12.
If you’d like to get more involved but aren’t sure where to start, take your cues from beauty product manufacturers. We checked in with these companies to see what they’re doing throughout the year to give back and the results were inspiring. You can learn all about their charitable efforts on page 52.
There’s no doubt that charity is great for business. Not to mention, giving back actually feels great when you realize your contribution has helped someone else in their time of need. Consider the beauty of charity as an investment for your business and your heart.
The ROI will be well worth it.

하루하루 일상을 살아가면서 자선의 중요성을 간과하고 소비 할 때가 많습니다. 자원 봉사 활동은 장기적으로 해야 할 의무로 느껴질 수
있으며, 사업이 잘 진행되지 않는다면 기부금이 부당하다고 느낄 수 있습니다. 그러나 저는 여러분들이 그 장애물을 넘어 지역사회에 환원을 해 주기를 요청합니다.
왜냐구요? 사업 관점에서 보면 베푸는 것이 매우 유용 할 수 있습니다.
Charity Edition의 제8회 Annual Beauty의 경우를 예로 들어, 우리는 기업 기부와 지역사회 참여에 대한 장점을 살펴 보겠습니다.
귀하의 사업 기부금이 세금 공제가 될 수 있다는 것을 알고 계셨습니까?
자선 행사를 후원하는 것도 세금 공제 특권을 누릴 자격이 있으며 훌륭한 홍보 활동이 될 수도 있습니다. 여러 연구에 따르면 소비자는 사회적 대의로 기부하거나 자선 단체를 후원하는 기업을 지원합니다. 그 원인이 귀하가 봉사하는 지역 사회에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 경우, 고객 충성도를 높이는 방법으로 보상을 받을 수 있다고 생각하기 때문입니다. 전문가 조언 칼럼에서 기업 기부에 대한 연구 결과에 대해 더 많이 알 수 있습니다. 12 페이지의 “기부 - 지역 사회 참여를 활용하는 것이 왜 귀하 매장의 생존에 중요한가”를 확인해보세요.
더 많이 참여하고 싶지만 어디서부터 시작해야 할지 모르겠다면, 미용 제품 제조업체 들로부터 힌트를 얻으세요. 우리는 이 회사들이 일년
내내 기부 활동하는 것을 보고있으며, 그 결과가 어떠 한지도 지켜보고 있습니다. 자선 활동에 관한 모든 내용은 52 페이지에 있습니다. 자선이 사업에 도움을 준다는 것은 의심할 여지가 없습니다. 말할 필요도없이, 기부금을 사용해 실제로 누군가를 도와주었다고 느꼈을 때, 정말 잘했다는 생각이 들게 됩니다. 당신의 사업과 당신의 마음을 위한 투자로써
Beauty supply stores have enjoyed customer loyalty over the years by relying on location, inventory, staff involvement and good service. However, a sudden proliferation of stores began to give consumers more choices. As a result: customer loyalty is no longer as strong as it once was. One of the best ways to avoid this decline is to be active in your community and give back.
Corporate community involvement is on the rise, offering a prime opportunity for OTC retailers to support the people who support
loyalty, when that business contributes to local civic and school organizations.
Corporate giving is associated with subsequent sales growth, as well. Approximately 59 percent of Americans are more likely to buy a product associated with a corporate-nonprofit partnership. A study also found that 56 percent of Americans will travel an extra 10 minutes out of their way to purchase a product that supports a cause they care about and that 71 percent are willing to pay at least $2.28 more for that product.
them. Consumers appreciate the shops that back the development of the community in which it does business. Research has shown that getting involved makes a measurable impact on the community’s perception of the retailer - in store and out-of-store. In fact, studies have shown marked increases of store
Over the last few years, consumer awareness has prompted changes in product formulation, with manufacturers omitting ingredients and including others thought to be healthier for the consumer. Gone are the days when the brand name was the only thing shoppers looked for. Now they read labels on the product packaging for ingredients, safety compliance, philanthropy and ethics. Shoppers are becoming increasingly concerned with where their dollars are being spent. Well-known retailers have removed certain brands from their inventories for this very reason. Businesses that fail to follow suit have suffered a decline in patronage and sales.
Retailers are poised to take advantage of an opportunity that does not exist for other
businesses because OTC stores have items that are not often found in big box retail. There is already a necessity to visit a beauty supply store. However, in the areas commonly surrounding these shops, community outreach efforts can result in organic recommendations for consumer interest and loyalty. For example in East Orange, New Jersey, one beauty supply had an annual community picnic and customer appreciation event. That kind of involvement has had a positive impact on customer retention and recruitment. Some Atlanta beauty supply stores are so involved in their community that shoppers outside their area will drive the extra miles, passing closer shops, to frequent the more charitable stores.
Survey after survey points to giving back as a leading indicator for customer loyalty. This is why neighborhood schools proudly use their hallways to display the names of corporations and local merchants who contribute time, computers and athletic equipment. Entire wings of hospitals are named after generous benefactors. And colleges and universities showcase the names of their donors all over their campuses so students won’t forget who invested in their education.
Charitable involvement in the community is the next frontier for OTC businesses. Retail owners should recognize this trend and capture customer loyalty. Predictions are that those who do will enjoy higher customer retention than those who don’t.

It’s no surprise that beauty products can mask our true features. Makeup can cover our natural appearance and there is a slew of hair products that strive to defy our hair’s natural texture. There’s nothing wrong with playing with new looks, but sometimes it’s a good idea to invest in products that bring out the best of your natural features. OTC Beauty Magazine curated a list of our favorite products for enhancing your natural beauty.
There are plenty of nude lipsticks on the market, but why not wear your lips au naturale? Consumers who enjoy the barely-there look will appreciate the Nivea A Kiss of Shimmer Lip care that offers nourishing and moisturizing properties, along with a dash of sparkle. Best of all, this balm is enriched with shea butter and jojoba oil to keep lips moisturized for hours.
Acne scars and dark spots are worrisome for those who would rather ditch the heavy makeup. Clearing up those unsightly marks can start with the Palmers Evertone dark Spot Correcting Cleanser. This foaming cleanser preps the skin for additional tone correcting treatments in the product line and helps bring out your complexion’s natural luminosity.
External hair products are great to use but nothing beats a well-balanced diet, chock full of hair-friendly nutrients. Ingesting the right items like the Curls Blissful Lengths Liquid Hair Growth Vitamin can help the natural hair grow by leaps and bounds. This product is formulated with a blend of vitamins, antioxidants, organic blueberry extract and biotin. Most importantly, 98 percent of liquid vitamins are absorbed into the bloodstream compared to the pill variety.
There’s not much that shea butter can’t do. For many, this natural ingredient is a go-to product for a myriad of things. One of the best uses is for scar reduction. Products like 100% Natural Organic Tummy for Stretch Marks & Scars can help minimize the appearance of unsightly scars and stretch marks, so you can show off your skin without hesitation.
Many are embracing their natural hair these days, and locs continue to grow in popularity, thanks to their low-key maintenance. If keeping your hair in smooth locs is the style of choice, Jahaitian Combination Shea Locking Wax is a great product to use to start and maintain them. The wax adds shine and firmly holds the hair’s natural pattern.
When hair is feeling dry and not looking its best, it may need a pick-me-up. Natural oils are often a great way to add shine and a healthy dose of nourishment. Products like Naturals Argan Rose Hair Oil does all of the above, thanks to its infusion of argan, rose and coconut oils. This can be used as a hot oil treatment or as a daily moisturizer.
If your male shoppers are looking for a product to soften a scruffy or dry beard, Okay Men Professional Beard Moisturizing Lotion is a good place to start. Most men will avoid a lengthy beauty routine, but a small amount goes a long way to moisturize and soften facial hair. No fussy beauty regiment required.
Thanks to air pollutants, cosmetic use and poor cleansing habits, our skin can be left in need of a serious cleansing. When this happens, a deep detoxifying mask like Helene Volcanic Ash Masque is perfect to draw out pollutants. The result: refreshed and renewed skin.
Heat styling, daily manipulation and balmy temperatures can do a lot of damage to our tresses. Those dry, limp strands can be revived with Pantene Gold Series Repairing Mask. Infused with argan oil, this product is formulated to restore hair health and is considered to be the gold standard of conditioners. It also works on all hair types.
One of the essentials to having healthy, luxurious hair naturally is to have a hydrated scalp. Dry, itchy scalps are not only unpleasant but flakes can take away from the beauty One ‘n Only Argan Oil Dry Scalp Treatment addresses that problem by protecting and moisturizing the scalp and minimizing the dryness and itchiness, all of which promotes healthy hair.
In an effort to remove makeup and impurities, we can dry out the skin and rid it of all of its natural moisture. To clean the face without stripping the skin, try SheaMoisture Daily Hydration Milk Mask. This product gently removes impurities and helps hydrate the skin. Made with 100 percent virgin coconut oil and coconut milk, your face will thank you for this creamy cleanser.
Many naturals will manipulate their hair on a daily basis. From twisting to Bantu knots and braids, the styling options are endless. But for days when they’d like to rock their curls as is with little styling interference try Crème of Nature Moisture & Shine Curl Activator Crème. Not only does it encourage curl definition but it adds a dose of shine to dull strands.
Beauty brands are constantly formulating and releasing new products for the public. This ensures consumer’s everchanging needs are never left unaddressed. But when companies have extensive product lines that take up a great deal of shelf space, new products can go overlooked. And when those customers can’t see a new product they are less likely to buy it.
or downplaying other merchandise from the same brand?
“OTC retailers across the country are carrying hundreds of manufacturer’s products and those manufacturers come out quarterly, biannually or yearly with new lines. How is a retailer able to sell and showcase their new items? Well, there are several ways.
First, they should all have endcaps that are strictly for the new items. Customers both men and women love to hear and see new items regardless if they love their items at home. It’s human nature to want to try these new items. If the OTC retailer can put all of the newest items on an end cap with a nice sign that says ‘New Store Items’ the customers would be drawn to that endcap, and see all of those new items. Manufacturers are constantly coming out with these to not only increase new sales, they know that in time, some old products don’t survive and they want to keep and also increase their shelf space. Once an item is 90 days old then the store managers or owners can put that new item back on the regular shelf with the current lines and company products. As always, small posters, door clings, signs and shelf talkers, along with new samples are the best way to push these items, along with the employees up front making new product suggestions. The stores would move a lot more of the new products if they would just take the time to make one new product endcap.”

지속적으로 증가하는 히스패닉 시장을 겨냥한
There is tremendous growth occurring in the smoothing, straightening and texturizing hair care categories for the Hispanic consumer base, offering exciting new retailing opportunities for OTC businesses. Nielsen reported that Hispanics are more likely to spend more on hair care products than the general market, accounting for 16 percent of the total U.S. sales in this category. OTC retailers can appeal to this demographic by including products designed to smooth, straighten ethnic hair and fight chemical damage caused by haircolor, hot tools and the environment.
Gregorio Luciano, owner of Dominican Magic Hair Care has developed a complete series of natural products inspired by generations of his family in the Dominican Republic. Luciano says, “There is a surge in the growth of Dominican hair salons across America, with the increase over the past 10 years now over 100 percent. The East Coast has the highest percentage of salon openings including New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C. and Florida, yet there is a Dominican salon in all 50 states including Alaska. Most everyone was using Italian and Brazilian hair care products previously. We have the best ingredients in the Dominican Republic and want to change the image of Dominican hair care products to show we are the best.”
머리를 부드럽게하고, 곧게 펴고 텍스쳐라이징을 하는 헤케캐어 시장이 히스패닉 소비자들 사이에서 엄청난 성장을 보이며 OTC 비즈니스에 엄청난 기회를 제공하고 있습니다. Nielsen씨는 히스패닉계인이 일반 시장보다 헤어 케어 제품에 더 많은 돈을 지출 할 가능성이 높다고 보고했으며 이 카테고리에서 히스패닉계인이 미국 전체 매출의 16% 를 차지하고 있다고 합니다. OTC 유통 업체는 헤어 스타일, 히팅 도구 및 환경으로 인해 발생하는 화학적인 손상을 복구하고 자연스럽게 머리카락을 부드럽게 만들어주는 제품들을 통해 이러한 시장을 공략할 수 있습니다.
Dominican Magic Hair Care 오너인 Gregorio Luciano 씨는 도미니카 공화국에 있는 그의 가족의 여러 세대에 걸쳐 영감을 받아 완벽한 천연제품 시리즈를 개발했습니다. Luciano씨는 “미국 전역의 도미니카 헤어 살롱의 성장이 급증하고 있으며, 지난 10년 동안 100% 이상 증가했습니다. 뉴욕, 뉴져지, 워싱턴 DC와 플로리다를 포함한 동부 해안지역에서 가장 높은 살롱 개업 비율을 보이고 있습니다. 하지만 알래스카를 포함한 모든 50개주 내에서는 하나의 도미니카 살롱만이 있을 뿐 입니다. 이전에는
OTC retailers should take note and include this lucrative new segment in their business marketing. Hispanic salons represent a new market for tools, hair styling products, haircolor, heat protection and conditioning home maintenance products. Dominican stylists are skilled in working on all types, from straight to highly-textured curls. Luciano adds, “The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean nation with a diverse history combining Spanish, indigenous Taíno and African influences. The beauty in the natives of our island is the rich diversity of skin tones, hair textures and people represented.” Salons traditionally serving African American clients can expand their hair care services and products by including items that work for a number of hair types. Beauty schools and educators will also need to update their services to better serve a variety of hair types and individuals.
The Dominican Blow Out is a great example of a salon service that requires specific products to succeed. This natural hair straightening technique is becoming popular among other cultures as well, with a low price point at about $30. The treatment allows even the most textured hair to be smoothed with only a roller set and blow drying. The results are dramatic with silky smooth tresses that are bouncy, shiny, long lasting and most importantly – healthy and natural looking. Luciano says, “Dominican Blowouts give an airy, light and natural feel that cannot be matched. The blowout service includes a roller set under a dryer for 40 minutes and a vigorous blow out afterward. It uses a lot of heat to straighten the client’s hair. For the best results, you must use the highest quality products that will ensure the hair remains healthy.”
OTC 소매 업체는 비즈니스 마케팅 측면을 고려할 때, 수익성이 좋은
이러한 새로운 분야를 주목해야 하고 포함해야 합니다. 히스패닉 살롱은 도구, 헤어 스타일링 제품, 헤어 컬러, 열 보호 및 컨디셔닝 홈 유지 관리 제품에 대한 새로운 시장을 대표합니다. 도미니카 스타일리스트는 스트레이트부터 질감이 많은 컬까지 모든 유형의 작업에 능숙합니다. Luciano는 “도미니카 공화국은 카리브해 국가로 스페인어, 따이노족과 아프리카가 결합되어 있는 다양한 역사를 가지고 있습니다. 우리 섬 원주민들의 아름다움은 풍부한 피부색, 머리카락 텍스쳐 및 사람들의 다양성입니다.”라고 덧붙여 말했습니다. 아프리카 계 미국인 고객들에게 전통적으로 서비스하고있는 살롱은 여러 종류의 모발을 다루는 아이템을 포함하여 헤어 케어 서비스와 제품을 더 제공할 수 있습니다. 미용 학교와 교육자는 다양한 헤어
Blow Out은 성공을 위하여 특정 제품이 필요하다는 것을 보여주는 살롱 서비스의 훌륭한 예입니다. 자연스럽게 모발을 곧게 펴는 이 기술은 다른 문화권에서도 인기가 높아지고 있으며 가격은 약 30달러입니다. 이 처리법을 사용하면 가장 질감이 잘된 모발까지도 롤러 세트 및 바람으로 말리는 것 만으로 부드럽게 할 수 있습니다. 결과는 탄력 있고, 반짝 반짝 빛나고 오래 갈 수 있으며 가장 중요한 점은 건강하고 자연스러워 보이는 윤기나고 촉촉한 모발로 만들어 준다는 것 입니다. 루치아노는 “Dominican Blow Out은 바람이 잘 통하고 밝고 자연스러운 느낌을 주는 유일한 것 입니다. Blow Out 서비스에는 드라이기 아래에 40분 동안 롤러 세트를 말고 있으면 이후에 격렬한 파열이 발생합니다. 이것은 많은 열을 사용하여 고객의 헤어를 폅니다. 최상의 결과를 얻으려면 머리카락이 건강하게 유지 될 수 있도록 최고 품질 제품을 사용해야합니다.”
Retailers should emphasize the healthy results that salon owners provide their clients while providing an alternative to formaldehyde treatments. Old fashioned hair straightening techniques have traditionally used oily or greasy products that can damage hair and give heavy or limp results. By choosing healthy brands, stylists can provide essential nutrients and vitamins to dry, damaged, color-treated, processed and thinning hair. Luciano notes, “The products used in the Dominican Blowout repair damaged hair and actually help the hair to grow. Tropical avocado, coconut, aloe vera, wheat, cinnamon, garlic and rosemary have been used in hair treatment by native Dominicans for many generations.”
소매업자는 살롱 오너가 고객에게 제공하는 건강한 결과를 강조하면서 포름 알데히드 처리에 대한 대안을 제공해야합니다. 구식의 헤어 스트레이트 기술은 전통적으로 헤어에 손상을 줄 수 있는 유분 또는 기름기가 많은 제품을 사용하여 무겁거나 축 쳐지는 결과를 낳습니다. 건강한 브랜드를 선택함으로써 디자이너는 건조하고, 손상되고, 염색하고, 제품처리되고, 얇아진 머리카락에 필수 영양소와 비타민을 공급할 수 있습니다. 루치아노는 “Dominican Blowout 에서 사용 된 제품은 손상된 모발을 회복해주고 실제로 모발이 자랄 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 열대 아보카도, 코코넛, 알로에 베라, 밀, 계피, 마늘, 로즈마리가 여러 세대 동안 도미니카 원주민 모발 치료에 사용되었습니다.”
Sancocho is a hearty Dominican stew made from a variety of meats and vegetables and is a cherished national dish. Luciano says, “Everybody knows the ingredients for Sancocho, yet what makes each family’s version unique is the way they prepare the recipe. It is the same for our hair care. We came up with the tagline ‘es para ti’ - it is for you - because it truly is for any type of hair.” Tested on European, Spanish and African American hair, Dominican Magic Hair Care is a true multicultural brand. OTC retailers can grow their businesses by including the Hispanic market and targeting salon owners and hairstylists who want to provide healthy straightening alternatives for a variety of cultures.
The Dominican Magic Hair Care brand includes five lines for the treatment of dry, damaged, haircolor-treated, processed and thinning hair.

Dominican Magic is located 460 South 10th Avenue, Mount Vernon, New York 10550 USA.
Sancocho는 다양한 고기와 야채로 만든 진한 도미니카 스튜이며 소중한 민족 요리입니다. Luciano는 “모두가 Sancocho의 성분을 알고 있지만, 각 가정마다 나름대로의 독특한 버전을 가지고 있으며 이에 따라 레시피를 준비합니다. 모발 관리도 마찬가지입니다.”라고 말했습니다. Dominican Magic Hair Care는 유럽, 스페인 및 아프리카계 미국인 헤어를 대상으로 테스트를 한 진정한 다문화 브랜드입니다. OTC 소매업자는 히스패닉 시장을 포함시키고 다양한 문화권에 대한 건강한 스트레이트 대안을 제공하고자 하는 미용실 오너 및 미용사를 대상으로 사업을 성장시킬 수 있습니다.
Dominican Magic Hair Care 브랜드에는 건조하고 손상되고, 염색하고, 제품 처리된 가는 모발에 대한 5개 트리트먼트 라인이 있습니다. Dominican Magic Hair Care 제품 및 교육에 대한 자세한 내용은 914-668-5895로 전화하거나 www.DominicanMagic.com 을 방문해주세요. Dominican Magic은 미국, 10550, 미국, 마운트 버넌 (Mount Vernon)에 있는 460 South 10th Avenue에 위치하고 있습니다.

Imagine going into a store to pick up a hair product. You find your item of choice placed next to its cheaper competitor. Both products offer the same ingredients and brag about the same benefits but the prices of each are drastically different. Situations like this confuse many buyers and beauty supply owners. Few understand why one product can resemble another in appearance and method of use, yet cost considerably more than the other.
There are several reasons for this. The least important but probable reason is that the so-called ‘name brand’ products will cost more due to its name recognition. These notable items do not have the most favorable discounts, but store owners are obligated to keep them in stock. These products are known as proprietary items meaning they must be kept in stock in order to bring customers in so that you have an opportunity to sell other products that may result in more profit. These items are usually not displayed in the most desirable areas of your shelf space because your customers will seek them out or ask for them. Eye level and corner or end cap displays are usually given to products that create a greater profit for the store or for special promotions that are paid for by the manufacturer.
헤어 제품을 고르기 위해 상점에 간다고 생각해보세요. 선택한 제품보다 더 저렴한 제품이 옆에 진열되어 있다는 것을 발견했습니다. 두 제품 모두 동일한 성분과 동일한 장점을 주나 가격 차이가 매우 다릅니다. 이러한 상황은 수 많은 구매자들과 뷰티 판매점 오너들을 매우 당혹스럽게 합니다. 한 제품이 모양과 사용 방법에서 다른 제품과 유사한데 왜 다른 제품보다 훨씬 더 비싼지 이유를 아는 사람은 거의 없습니다. 가격 차이가 발생하는 몇 가지 이유가 있습니다. 가장 중요하지는 않지만 가능성 있는 이유는 소위 ‘ 브랜드 이름’ 제품이 이름 명성으로 인해 더 비쌀 것입니다. 이 주목할 만한 상품에는 할인을 많이 주지는 않지만 상점 오너는 재고를 유지해야합니다. 이 제품들은 전매 상품으로 반드시 재고를 유지하고 있어야 합니다. 이 제품으로 인해 고객들이 스토어를 방문할 수 있고, 그렇게 방문한 고객들이 다른 제품들을 구입함으로 해서 또다른 수익을 창출할 수 있기 때문입니다. 이러한 품목들은 일반적으로 진열대에서 가장 좋은 지점에 진열되지 않습니다. 고객들이 제품을 찾거나 문의할 것이기 때문입니다. 일반적으로 상점에서 더 많은 이익이 나는 제품이나 제조업체가 지불하는 특별 프로모션에 대한 물건들이 눈높이 및 코너 또는 양쪽 끝 진열대에 진열하게 됩니다.
이제는 더 비싼 가격이 더 높은 품질을 나타내는 것은 아니라는 것을
Now, it should be made clear that a higher price is not an indication of a higher quality. Many lesser-known products that sell for a lower price are a better buy, with equal or higher quality than the name brand product. You can usually tell by looking at the ingredient list on the back of the label. By the rules of the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), the ingredients must be listed in the order that they are measured in the product. For example, if a product is 55 percent olive oil, that ingredient must be listed first. The second biggest ingredient is listed next and so forth. If you buy a product because you were attracted to a particular ingredient that is a part of the product name (i.e. ’vitamins’ ‘proteins’ or ‘herbals’) and that preferred ingredient is listed lower on the ingredient list, then that is an indication that the product has very little of that desired ingredient.
분명히 해야 합니다. 저렴한 가격으로 판매되는 잘 알려지지 않은 많은 제품들은 브랜드 제품의 품질과 같거나 높으며 구매 할 제품입니다. 일반적으로 라벨 뒷면에 있는 성분표시를 보고 알 수 있습니다. 공정 거래위원회 (FTC)의 규칙에 의하면, 성분은 제품에서 측정 된 순서대로 나열되어야합니다. 예를 들어, 제품의 55%가 올리브 오일인 경우, 해당 성분이 먼저 나열되어야합니다. 두 번째로 많이 함유된 성분이 나열되고 그 다음 성분이 나열됩니다. 제품 이름에서 한 부분을 구성하고 있는 특정 성분 (즉, ‘비타민 ‘단백질’ 또는 ‘식물성’)에 매력을 느껴 제품을 구입한 경우, 선호한 성분이 성분 목록의 아래쪽에 나열되어 있다면, 그 해당 성분은 제품에 거의 포함되어 있지 않다는 것을 나타냅니다.
It is sufficient to say that price is not always an indication that the product is the best. But then again, sometimes it is. For example, stove-heated curling irons look very much alike but in actuality, they can be very different. Is the iron made with temperate high-quality steel or from scrap iron that is melted and molded to resemble the temperate steel model? Are the joints - where the pin and the shell of the iron meet - made in an integrated way so that there is no pin or rivet to break or misalign? Are the handles made so that there are no metal ends that can transfer heat to that area causing them to get hot, resulting in burns and blisters to form on the heel of the hands? The quality steel iron will hold heat longer and evenly and will last a lifetime of professional use. Whereby the cheaper iron will only be adequate for occasional home use by nonprofessionals because they cannot meet the demand that the professionals require and are not precision-balanced for comfortable, long-term use.
So while it may seem that a cheaper product is the same as its higher-priced counterpart, try to remember that looks and even pricing can often be deceiving.
가격으로 이 제품이 항상 최고라고 판단할 수 있는 것은 아닙니다. 하지만 가끔은 그렇습니다. 예를 들어 스토브로 가열하는 고대기는 외관이 매우 비슷하게 보이지만 실제로는 매우 다를 수 있습니다. 예를
들어, 고대기가 절제된 고품질 강철로 만들어졌는지 아니면 절제된 강철
모형과 비슷하게 녹여 주조된 고철로 만들어 졌는지? 고대기의 핀과 외부 틀이 만나는 부분의 접합부가 끊어 지거나 잘못 정렬되어 핀이나 리벳이 없도록 통합된 방법으로 만들어 졌는지? 손잡이 뒤쪽에 열이 전달되어 화상과 수포가 생길 수 있는 금속 끝 부분이 없도록 손잡이가 만들어 졌는지? 고품질의 철제 고대기는 더 오랫동안 균일하게 열을 유지하며 평생 사용할 수 있습니다. 따라서 값이 싼 고대기는 전문가가 요구하는 요구사항을 충족시키지 못하며 편의성과 장기간 사용에 대한 균형을 이루지 못하기 때문에 비전문가들이 가끔 집에서 사용할 때만 적합합니다.
따라서 저렴한 제품은 고가의 제품과 동일하게 보일 수 있지만 외관과 가격때문에 종종 속을 수 있음을 기억해주세요.

Mario de la Guardia is the founder and chief executive of Strength of Nature Global LLC, a family owned Savannah-based company focused on developing and marketing high-quality hair care products made exclusively for the hair care needs of men and women of color worldwide. He is also the Global Beauty Alliance Vice Chairman and Founding Board member. Guardia has headed up the introduction or re-launch of over 500 products since starting the family-owned company in 2000 with his father Mario Sr., a Cuban immigrant and chemist who created Magic Shave. Strength of Nature’s brands are well-known globally, with strong market share growth across both the U.S. and international markets. Popular brands include among others: African Pride, Beautiful Textures, Profectiv, MegaGrowth, Elasta QP and the newly acquired Soft & Beautiful, Pro-Line and TCB brands (recently acquired by Unilever, who acquired the brands from ProLine Corporation ). International markets rank high in the company’s overall growth strategy, with Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and the Caribbean already experiencing a significant and fast growing market for Strength of Nature, with huge potential for long term growth.
Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), an Indian consumer goods company based in Mumbai, India, announced a deal to acquire Strength of Nature in 2016. Strength of Nature’s sales company sales are estimated at approximately $350 million annually. GCPL reported that it’s a move that clearly fits the company’s objectives. “Over the past few years we have been scaling up our international presence with acquisitions that fit well in our 3x3 strategy – a presence in emerging markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America through three core categories: hair care, home care and personal care,” said GCPL Managing Director Adi Godrej via a media release.
GCPL’s products include soap, hair colorants, toiletries and liquid detergents. It has bought out foreign companies such as Keyline Brands Limited (United Kingdom) in 2005, Rapidol (Pty) Limited in 2006, and Godrej Global Mid East FZE in 2007 and the joint venture with SCA Hygiene Products AB, Sweden in 2007. The company is strategically growing through its acquisitions, particularly in hair care for women of African descent, and with this latest deal, the India-based company gains market share as well as US-specific insights and product knowledge.
GCPL owned a 49 percent non-controlling share in Godrej Sara Lee Limited (GSLL), an unlisted joint venture between the Godrej Group and Sara Lee Corporation USA, as of early 2010. In May 2010, it acquired Sara Lee’s 51 percent controlling share.In 2010, Godrej made several acquisitions, including Indonesian firm Megasari and Tura. In addition, Godrej entered Latin America with the acquisition of Issue Group and Argencos in Argentina, and later acquired Cosmética Nacional, a Chilean company.
In 2015, Godrej announced it had fully acquired a 100 percent equity stake in South African hair extensions firm Frika Hair.
Godrej Consumer Products acquired Strength of Nature in 2016 and its growth in Africa is up 61 percent in the latest 2017 quarter attributed entirely to Sales of Strength of Nature in Africa.
Guardia, a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology in Industrial Management, continues as Strength of Nature president and reports to Godrej. Gambhir notes that the company’s people are a big asset, too. “Strength of Nature has a seasoned management team with over 100 years of combined experience in the industry … Mario de la Guardia and his team have built a great business over the past 16 years. We are excited to partner with them to build a world class portfolio of hair brands.”
Cornell McBride, Jr. President and General Manager of McBride Research Laboratories (MRL)
CORNELL MCBRIDE, JR.
President and General Manager of McBride Research Laboratories (MRL)
Cornell McBride, Jr. is President and General Manager of McBride Research Laboratories (MRL), manufacturers of the Design Essentials line of hair care headquartered outside of Atlanta. He is also a Global Beauty Alliance Founding Board Member and was elected to a two-year position as Vice Chair.
While the roots and the operation of the business are a traditional story of family business, their current initiatives have launched them firmly into the realm of technology and expansion. The brand was launched by Cornell McBride Sr. who co-founded M&M Products Company when they developed a formula that eventually became Sta-Sof-Fro, the very first product designed and marketed to moisturize and soften the naturally textured style popular at the time, the Afro. By the mid-1980s, M&M Products had four national brands: Sta-Sof-Fro, Sof-N-Free, Moxie and Curly Perm. The company’s annual revenues exceeded $40 million making it one of the top Black hair care companies in the world. But in 1989, after the company soared beyond $40 million dollars in sales, McBride and the company co-owner decided to dissolve their partnership and sell the company to Chicago-based, black-owned, Johnson Products. Both Sta Sof Fro and the Sof and Free relaxer are still available in stores today. At the time M&M Products was sold, McBride, Sr. also owned a chain of beauty supply stores in Atlanta. But McBride Sr., sold all the beauty supply stores and in 1990, decided to focus exclusively on using his talents as a registered pharmacist to develop lines of innovative products such as Therapeutics Rx, Wave by Design and Colaura
Design Essentials began as a salon-only brand, marketed and sold through an extensive MRL distribution network that has helped establish hundreds of business owners and millionaires spanning the United States, Caribbean, United Kingdom and Africa. Part of the success of the brand stems from having ownership and leadership by the McBride family. When they came of age, all of McBride’s children, his two sons — Andre and Cornell Jr. and daughter Sholanda - joined the company to make it one of the few businesses in the hair care industry that is owned, operated and managed by an African American family. McBride Jr., remembers those days when his father first started making the products. Every day when he came home from school he would go down to the basement and fill the bottles of products his dad had made. His mom and siblings helped. They filled the bottles, packed them up and prepared the boxes for his father to take out and sell; his dad sold the products out of his car.
In 2010, his involvement in the business came full circle when McBride, Sr. passed the baton of leadership to McBride, Jr., naming him as President and General Manager of MRL.
Under McBride, Jr.’s helm, the company continued to expand. McBride, Jr. serves as General Manager, leading the day-to-day operations and providing strategic direction for the company and ensuring the fulfillment of MRL’s creative initiatives through finance, marketing and sales. For 18 years, McBride, Jr. has led the company’s expanse not only throughout the United States and the Caribbean, but also globally, including, France, Amsterdam, Guadalupe, and Portugal as well as the United Kingdom and Africa.
In 2012, Design Essentials created the Design Essentials Natural brand, which directly returned the company to its roots of providing products for curly-textured styles. “From a historical standpoint, the ‘70s had a sense of pride with the afros. . .There was a change to relaxers then curls to relaxers,” McBride Jr. continued. “And now, it’s an evolution. Women are exploring natural hair because of liberation.” With the success of this line as well as the trend of “DIY” hairstyling among women with naturally curly
hair, Design Essentials launched into retail. Currently, it counts Walmart, ULTA, Sally Beauty Supply, Walgreen’s, CVS as retail partners. About 24 years after its founding, Design Essentials’ average growth rate is double digit. Sales have continued to grow and they’ve continued to expand, with distributorships in the Caribbean and Europe and Africa. With this resurgence of interest in naturally textured hair and their history providing products to consumers that cater to this texture, Design Essentials and the McBride family is poised to recreate history.

MICHAEL V. ROBERTS, Founder
M.V. Roberts Distributing
Michael Roberts, a true pioneer of the business, has a CV that sparkles with the biggest names in ethnic hair care. Founder and CEO of M.V. Roberts and Company, a global based sales and marketing company which has the unique distinction of helping launch and grow two $100 million plus companies in Softsheen and Organic Roots Stimulator ORS, he was also the president of Mizani where he brokered a relationship between Redken Laboratories and Softsheen which led to the development and launch of that brand. Add to that the other brands that he has worked with, and you get a person whose life is steeped in hair care and whose knowledge is second to none. ShopTalk International spoke to him about his life and his journey in the business. Below is an excerpt from that interview:
For those who don’t know your background, tell us how you started out? I started my professional career with Deloitte & Touche, I was in finance and accounting. When I started my own company in 1978, my first client was Softsheen. I acted as a broker for them in the western regions which including Hawaii. With my experience, the Gardner’s would ask me questions about things that they should do in terms of their financial growth, and it got to the point where the things I was telling them were critical to the success of the business.
Speaking of success, what do you think contributed to Softsheen’s (success)? I think they were very successful because they had the winning formula for growth. They were strong entrepreneurs and they brought in professional management. If you look at companies like Microsoft and Apple, as the companies grew they hired professional managers. We had very smart people in sales, marketing, finance, R & D and operations that made the company grow.
Forty years and there’s been a huge amount of change in the business from production right through to marketing. What keeps a business going in this day and age?
From a personal standpoint, dealing with something near and dear to African Americans, which is their hair and skin, you have to be relevant and you’ve got to stay current. Companies have to be really consumer focused. They can’t be current but nobody thinks they’re relevant – the two go hand-in-hand.
You would have seen many trends come and go. Did you sense that the natural hair market would take off the way it has? The natural hair care market again is the natural order of things. Since I’ve been in the business we’ve gone from relaxing, kids who run wild with the curls, back to relaxer; and during that whole period of time, it’s always natural hair and natural hair care products. They became relevant recently but they’ve always been there.”

The most successful people never stop learning
본인의 자존심에 의해 현혹되지 마십시오 성공한 사람들은 배움을 멈추지 않습니다
A management consultant was checking out at the Austin airport bookstore, where Nathan Jamail’s most recent book, “The Leadership Playbook”, was being promoted. The cashier asked if she would be interested in buying a copy. She responded, “Nope, I work too much as it is. So I read only fun books.” When asked if she thought that leadership books would benefit her clients or herself, she responded, “I don’t teach my clients. They are smarter than me anyhow, so to think I could teach them anything would only be arrogant.”
One can only assume she unknowingly limits her value to her clients and her ability to become more successful; all because her ego is in the way. This lady, like many in business, has mixed up the use of the terms confidence and arrogance. The fact that she did not see the need to learn or get better is arrogance, and the fact that she does not have the ability (or desire) to teach her customers is not humility, it is a lack of confidence.
Confidence makes people believe in their bosses, teachers, and others. If a person is confident, then others will assume they are competent- which is good. But, when that confidence gets in the way of a willingness to learn and be taught, it becomes arrogance- and that is bad.
한 경영 컨설턴트가 Nathan Jamail 의 최신작인 “리더십 전술 (The Leadership Playbook)”을 홍보하고 있는 Austin 공항 서점에서 계산을 하고 있었습니다. 직원은 그녀가 그 책을 살 의향이 있는지 물었죠. 그러자 컨설턴트는 “아니오, 저는 보시다시피 과도한 업무량에 시달리고 있어요. 그래서 재미있는 책만 읽는 편이죠.” 라고 대답했습니다. 그 책이 만약 그녀의 고객 혹은 그녀 자신에게 이득이 될 것이라고는 생각 안 해보았냐는 질문에는 “전 저의 고객들을 가르치지 않아요. 그들은 이미 저보다 똑똑하거든요, 그러니까 제가 무언가를 가르치려 한다면 그것만큼 바보 같은 짓을 없을 거예요” 라고 했습니다.
이런 이야기를 토대로 볼 때 그녀가 고객들에 대한 자신의 가치를, 그리고 더 성공할 수 있는 그녀의 능력을 스스로 막고 있다고 밖에 생각할 수 없습니다; 그녀의 자존심 하나 때문에 말이지요. 비즈니스에 종사하는 대부분의 사람들과 마찬가지로 이 컨설턴트 또한 자신감과 오만함을 혼동하고 있었습니다. 더 이상 배울 필요가 없고 나아질 필요가 없다 생각하는 것은 오만함 이며, 그녀의 고객들을 가르칠 능력 ( 혹은 그럴 마음) 이 없다고 하는 것은 겸손이 아니라, 자신감의 부족이기 때문입니다.
자신감은 사람들로 하여금 그들의 상사, 선생님, 혹은 다른 이들을 믿게 만듭니다. 만약 어떤 사람이 자신감에 가득 차 있다면, 타인의 시선에서는 그가 유능하다고 생각할 것입니다. 이건 분명 좋은 일이고요. 하지만, 그
There are plenty of reasons that anyone could have for not committing to bettering their lives by continuous learning, yet this habit is one of just a few big differentiators between regular people and successful, high-achieving people. Placing a significant value on learning can only benefit you later. For example, when we’re in college, we must attend class and complete all of the reading assignments to ensure the information is learned. The consequence of not reading the assigned chapters is recognized within a few days or weeks by way of a test or graded assignment. As professionals and business owners, there are no immediate or visible consequences of not reading the ‘daily assignment’. However, there are consequences and they are costly in career, personal wealth and achievement of personal success. Keep in mind also, if a 40-year-old person, who graduated college at the age of 24, never read a business or self-improvement book again after college, then they are no smarter than they were at the age of 24. They are wiser, older and more experienced, but they are not smarter.
자신감이 배우고자 혹은 가르침을 받고자 하는 마음을 가로막는
그래서 자신감이 오만함으로 변한다면 분명 나쁜 일 이라 얘기할 수 있겠습니다.
대학에서의 배움 vs. 인생을 위한 배움
끊임없이 배우는 것을 포기함으로써, 풍족한 삶에서 멀어져도 되는 이유는 꽤나 많습니다만, 이것을 하냐 하지 않느냐가 분명 보통 사람들과 성공한 사람들의 가장 큰 차이점일 것입니다. 배우는 것에 중요한 가치를 두는 것은 시간이 지난 후에 유익해집니다. 예를 들면, 대학에 다닐 때에는 수업에 반드시 참여하고 읽기 과제를 마치며 정보를 습득하는 과정을 겪습니다. 주어진 과제를
Remember:
Seek to learn, not to justify.
Warning: Anyone trying to justify how this fact is inaccurate might want to adjust their mindset before continuing their knowledge journey. Ask yourself, what will be taken from this article to make things better?
Remember: Seek to learn, not to justify.
Learning is often a habit that is not cultivated. It is a matter of recommitting oneself to daily routines for self-development and evolvement. Many times, a person knows what they should be doing, but fail to actually do them. If they don’t feel learning is a necessary part of living, then they should be challenged to understand what their purpose is - not just in life but in the role they play for their clients, relatives and themselves.
If you feel compelled to make continuous learning a habit, follow this challenge:
1. Buy one self-help or leadership book or get a recommendation from a respected person (audiobooks qualify).
2. Start by reading for 10 minutes every morning, then eventually increase
않습니다. 그러나, 결과적으로 경력, 개인적인 부와 성공에서 영향을 미친다는 것을 알게 될 것입니다. 또한 기억하셔야 할 것은, 만약 24 살에 대학교를 마친 40 살의 사람이 졸업 후 한 번도 자기계발 혹은 비즈니스 관련 책을 가까이 하지 않았다면 그것은 곧 그가 24 살 이후로 전혀 똑똑해지지 않았다는 뜻일 것입니다. 더 지혜롭고 연륜이 생겼을지언정, 똑똑하지는 않다는 뜻입니다.
경고: 이 사실이 정확하지 않다고 반박하고 싶은 사람이 있다면 지식의 탐구를 계속하기 전에 자신의 사고방식을 다시금 돌아봐야 할 것입니다. 스스로에게 질문해보십시오, 이 글에서 어떠한 것들을 골라내고 추가해야 더 좋은 영향을 미칠 수 있을까요?
기억하십시오: 정당화시키려 하지 말고, 배우려 하십시오.
도전
배움은 때때로 경작하기 힘든 과정이기도 합니다. 그저 매일 자기 계발과
발전을 위해 일상 생활에 충실해야 하는 그런 것이지요. 대부분 사람들은
자신이 뭘 해야 할지 알고 있지만 항상 그것을 해내지는 못 합니다. 만약 배움이라는 것이 그들 인생에 있어서 필요하다 느끼지 못 한다면, 그 목적을 이해하기 위해 스스로 도전해야 할 것입니다. – 단순히 인생이라 단정지을 것이 아니라 그들이 고객, 친구 혹은 그들 자신을 위해 하는 연극에서의 목적을 말입니다.
만약 배움을 지속하는 것이 강제적이다 느껴진다면, 아래 도전들을 시도해 보십시오:
1. 자립과 리더십에 관한 책들 또는 존경할 만한 사람으로부터
추천을 받아 책을 구매하십시오. (오디오북 가능)
it to 30 minutes or listen to an audiobook on the way to and from work every day.
3. Do this for 3 weeks.
If afterward there are no feelings of excitement or a need to share what’s been read to others- then don’t do it anymore. But if it’s started, then keep doing it.
When a person becomes a committed lifelong learner, others will seek their teachings.
2. 매일 아침 10분씩 읽는 것으로 시작해 30분이 될 때까지 습관을
들이십시오. 혹은 출근이나
퇴근길을 이용해 매일 오디오북을 듣는 것도 좋습니다.
3. 이렇게 3주 정도를 유지해 보십시오.
만약 어떠한 즐거움이나 다른 사람과 읽은 것에 대해 공유하고
싶다는 생각이 들지 않는다면 거기서 멈추시면 됩니다. 하지만
만약 그러하다면, 계속 지속하시길 바랍니다. 평생 배움의 길을 택해 노력한다면, 다른 이들은 그의 가르침을 얻고자 할 것입니다.

Tired of that sticky buildup on your styling irons? We have just the solution for you. Hot Tools Professional Styling Iron Cleaner cleans and prevents that annoying build-up, prolonging the life of your curling and flat irons. This styling iron cleaner is a safe, non-toxic formula that easily removes styling product residue from tourmaline, ceramic, and metal curling/flat irons. The styling cleaner prevents build-up and eliminates residue, no matter how burnt or caked-on.
There’s no way around it – over time, the styling products you use on your hair will cause an ugly buildup on your flat irons and curling irons. The result is excess stickiness on your styling plate surface, which leads directly to a stylists’ worst nightmare: poor styling results. The gummy residue on the plates inflicts damaging stress to your hair and, if left uncleaned, will pull and snag hair strands, causing split ends and breakage. Properly maintained styling irons glide through hair smoothly with no tension. A critical part of that styling tool maintenance is to make sure your iron is clean before every use –especially if you want to keep hair looking fresh and healthy. Designed for daily use, The Hot Tools Styling Iron Cleaner is your ideal tool for that.
The process is simple and quick. Just follow these four easy steps:
After regular use of a tool, the buildup can become baked onto the styling surface. The longer the styling products are left on the iron, the harder it is to remove that nasty buildup. If a stylist isn’t cleaning their tools regularly with the proper product, the styling surface can get scratched, which affects the heat distribution. Even if a stylist attempts to clean the styling surface, but does it improperly, the styling surface can be left with uneven, patchy heat spots that lead to hair not curling or smoothing as quickly as a properly maintained iron. Taking good care of your styling tools is an investment in the tools of your trade. With proper cleaning, your tools will last longer. The longer they last, the more use you will get out of them.
Ultimately, if your styling irons are not properly maintained, they can cause damage to your client’s hair. Once styling products stick to the styling surface, styling appliances can become scorched if they are not cleaned. Imagine what would happen to hair if it were to touch a scorched surface. The scorched product can bake the surface of the hair, causing it to be left with a discolored, blighted stain. That’s every stylist’s nightmare! Ruining a fresh hair color that took good money and a long time to process is not something a stylist wants to do to their clients. It’s not worth giving your clients faded and ruined hair strands! Clean irons equal healthy, long-lasting color and happier clients.
Unplug your styling iron and let it cool down to room temperature.

The Hot Tools Professional Styling Iron Cleaner does not leave any residue, and helps keep your iron looking brand new. The better care we provide for our tools, the better use we get out of them. Still not sold on the value of properly cleaning your styling tools? Let’s take a look at what happens to your tools if you don’t properly clean them and they become corroded with styling products.
It’s important to remember to never use the Hot Tools Professional Styling Iron Cleaner on a hot iron. This can cause damage to your appliance and is a risk for personal injury. Only use the cleaner on styling appliances that have cooled to room temperature. Also, the Hot Tools Professional Styling Iron Cleaner is not designed to be used on glass or mirrors. This Hot Tools spray-on cleanser is designed only to use on gold, ceramic, titanium, and tourmaline.
Closely follow the instructions for use, and enjoy the benefits of clean, properly maintained styling tools. Something as simple as keeping your styling tools clean can keep them performing well, and can keep colored hair looking fresh and true to tone. The Hot Tools Professional Styling Iron Cleaner is too easy not to use.

As an OTC retailer, you want the best for your customers. They come through your doors wanting, and you have aisles upon aisles of solutions to offer them. You know you have the perfect items to entice shoppers and turn a profit. But, experience tells you that not all customers who stop in will make a purchase. Sometimes they wander the aisles searching high and low for their favorites, or you’ll find them standing in the same spot for eons having an internal debate over price and quality. This is where you can step in and lend a hand.
Regardless of their final decision to buy, you always have an opportunity to give back to your customers through considerate service and product education. Consumers have the power to get anything from anywhere. It speaks volumes that of all the options out there today, these resourceful shoppers picked you and put their trust in you to deliver must-have items. Keep that trust and go above and beyond their expectations.
Encourage your customers to invest in their well-being, especially when it comes to caring for their natural hair. Often the simplest things, like a morning routine that runs smoothly, can lay the foundation for an upbeat day. You should point them in the direction of products that will not only meet their needs but will also make them feel good about themselves. Jamaican Mango & Lime® and their line of Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® products can do exactly that.
Need some go-to recommendations? Make sure you point out the Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® Coconut Milk & Honey Shampoo and Coconut Leave-In Conditioner & Detangler. Natural hair is difficult to manage and style when it’s dehydrated. This amazing shampoo is one-ofa-kind when it comes to nourishing the hair and scalp. Pair it with the
conditioner and you have a match made in heaven. The conditioner works magic on split ends, and it even has a detangler to make styling prep a breeze.
Let’s say your customer is past the building blocks of shampoo and conditioner, and they’re on to styling. Offer the Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® Coconut Moisturizing Hair Lotion, otherwise known as the muscle behind maintaining strong, healthy hair. Its lightweight formula provides a heavy dose of moisture while keeping curls and coils defined all day long. While you’re on a roll, anyone who’s doing some thermal styling should pick up the Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® Shea Oil Styling Serum for radiant shine and extra protection against breakage.
Remind your customers that self-care is important. Offer a product that will give their hair a luxurious experience, like the Pure Naturals with SmoothMoisture® Coconut Milk & Honey Moisture Masque. Natural hair of all types and textures will feel pampered with deep-conditioning waves of soothing moisturization.
Product recommendations are an excellent way to help someone who is on the fence about heading to the register. At the very least they’ll appreciate the gesture, and if they truly like the products they’ll be more likely to come back to you for a repeat purchase. Whether it’s word-of-mouth or an online review, experiences with retailers and products can spread like wildfire. Take advantage of this and make excellent, helpful customer service a top priority. A great hair day adds volumes to a person’s confidence. Your customers may even be inspiring others with their self-assurance and style, and if someone gives a compliment or asks about their hair, they may just point out your establishment as the start of it all.

There is a lot wrong with the world and often times it doesn’t seem like the good outweighs the bad. Thankfully, there are charities and support organizations for nearly every cause, allowing people and businesses to donate or volunteer to the issues that matter most to their interests and customers. As we celebrate the 8th Annual Beauty of Charity of Issue, OTC Beauty Magazine would like to take the time to celebrate the companies that lend a helping hand with their money, time and products.
DeMert Brands, Inc. supports many charities on a national, regional and local level. This year the company sent care packages to our troops and to veteran organizations, supported animal rescue groups and donated products to various charity fundraisers.
For the past seven years DeMert Brands, Inc. have been a supporter of Young Survival Coalition (YSC). We are currently a national sponsor of the organization and have committed to continue this support throughout 2018, as well.
Jennifer Merschdorf, CEO of YSC said, “We at YSC are incredibly moved by the fact that Not Your Mother’s has a sincere interest in helping and advocating for YSC and likewise, raising awareness that young women can and do get breast cancer.” Aiming to make a positive impact, DeMert Brands is aligning well with YSC and working closely throughout the year to include breast cancer awareness information on products, in stores, at events and via social media. Breast cancer survivors are also invited as VIP guests at Not Your Mother’s sponsored events including New York Fashion Week. DeMert Brands also currently supports and donates products to the survivors and competing bikers for all of then YSC “Tour De Pink” bike ride events taken place in multiple locations throughout the USA to help raise funds for young women affected by breast cancer.
“YSC is a wonderful organization with an important vision we have made a long-term pledge to support,” said DeMert Brands owner, Bethany Pagliarulo. “Their work to increase the quality of life and uplift the lives of young women with breast cancer is near and dear to our hearts.”
In March, Botanica®, Avalon Organics® and JĀSÖN® brands, along with leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty, CARE®, are delighted to announce the expansion of the Qach’Umilal Girls’ Education and Leadership Project with second year of support for another Guatemalan region in need, and to celebrate the progress of the Empower Her through Education campaign thus far. This year’s program benefits an additional group of 200 indigenous girls from families in western Guatemala by supporting their primary school education. As part of the brands’ Empower Her through Education campaign with CARE, this program is a crucial step in making a difference in girls’ and women’s lives and their communities, while breaking down barriers to education for girls in developing countries. The Qach’umilal (or Guiding star in the Mayan language K’iche) Girls Education and Leadership project not only promotes access to educational programs for girls, but also helps to keep girls in school, while helping to build self-esteem and leadership skills. Currently in Guatemala, only 60 percent of students who start first grade complete sixth grade. Retention is even lower among young girls, who are expected to devote a majority of their time to domestic and field chores. Guatemalan women and girls face countless additional challenges due to gender discrimination and ethnical racism. The Qach’Umilal Girls’ Education and Leadership Project has made significant progress in empowering girls to be more confident by emphasizing music, art and relationship-building. These key factors are what drive the Qach’Umilal Girls’ Education and Leadership Project to inspire change and enable girls to follow their dreams. “The Qach’umilal project shows what impact we can make when we invest in girls, especially when those investments knock down the barriers keeping them from school and otherwise holding them back,” said Michelle Nunn, CARE’s president and CEO. “We’re delighted to have a partner like Hain Celestial that so generously expresses our shared commitment to equipping girls with the tools they need to thrive. Now more than ever, it’s exciting to see opportunities for consumers to express their support and connection to women and girls around the world.” Following the success of last year’s efforts to raise awareness, the Alba Botanica®,
Avalon Organics® and JĀSÖN® brands, in collaboration with CARE, are introducing a collection of limited edition personal care products featuring actual drawings from the girls participating in the Qach’Umilal program. The brand has chosen their best-selling products to display the meaningful limited edition labels to honor this year’s program. The Alba Botanica®, Avalon Organics® and JĀSÖN® brands have donated $50,000 directly to the local schools through this partnership, going directly to support the 200 girls in the Qach’Umilal program.
“The Qach’Umilal Girls’ Education and Leadership Project is not seen as a donation from Hain Celestial, but as an investment in our future women of the world. This year it was important to us at Hain Celestial to expand upon the program allowing our consumers to also have a voice in the project; whether it is from purchasing, donating or joining us at our event held on March 1st in New York City. No matter the level of participation it all leads to one common goal: positive change in these young women’s lives.” said Julie Marchant-Houle, General Manager, Personal Care at The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. “We’re simply honored to be part of this initiative for a second year in a row. It’s amazing to see the positive change in these girls’ lives and communities.”
To expand on this, the brands in partnership with CARE hosted a consumer facing event in New York City on March 1, 2017 to encourage support of the cause, while all charitable donations contribute to further fund CARE initiatives. The event focused on women’s empowerment inspired by the Qach’Umilal Girls’ Education and Leadership Project with a motivational Yoga session led by Beauty and Wellness Expert, Jeannine Morris, and a presentation from the Hain Celestial brands on their work with CARE. Consumers were encouraged to share what access to education means to them via social media using #accesstodream and expressed words of encouragement by painting on a large canvas wall.
As one of Cantu’s initiatives to give back to communities, the brand team joined Essence and New Orleans’ native son, Master P, with his nonprofit youth organization Team Hope NOLA for the 2017 Day of Service in June. This is the second year Cantu has participated in this project.
The day emphasized serving the city’s elders through a beautification project of a historic inner-city senior residence, Guste Homes Senior Residence. Volunteers gave the facility a mini makeover that included painting, landscaping and serving meals to the Guste residents. Breakfast and lunch were also served and team members were onsite to hand out hair care samples and provide instructions on how to use them.
In December, One ‘N only supported the 1736 Family and Crisis Center Holiday Store and several, local women’s homeless and domestic violence shelters with more than 500 donated products and sample packs.
The 1736 Store reached out to One ‘N Only in years past, whether it was through the company’s personal care division (Conair) or it professional branch (One ‘n Only), One ‘N Only always aims to participate in this great holiday tradition to help support families in need during the holiday season. The company strives to support women in need and continues to provide support throughout the year.
Andis Company is known for its leading role in clipper-cutting education, but its commitment to education extends beyond the professional barber and beauty sector. Four generations of generosity rooted in the values of the Andis family inspired the creation of the Andis Foundation in 2015. President Matt Andis put it best when he said, “The Andis Foundation is guided by a single principle: building strong communities on the foundation of family.”
A separate entity from Andis Company’s philanthropic partnerships, the Andis Foundation is committed to helping kids thrive through education that extends beyond the classroom with programming that enriches the spirit, mind and body. The foundation supports programs that encourage broad community engagement and volunteerism, from the local Racine, Wisconsin YMCA to employee-selected
charities, always prioritizing opportunities to support programs that engage young people and families.
Biannual grants are awarded to locally-based programs offering youth development and environmental or outdoor skills education. Recipients of recent grants include the Wisconsin FFA Foundation, Inc. (Future Farmers of America), 4-H, Racine Zoo, Junior Achievement and the Racine Art Museum. The Foundation also launched the Next Generation Leaders scholarship program, awarding financial assistance for the children of Andis Company associates pursuing secondary and post-secondary education. To date, Andis has supported seven kids in their mission to advance their education.
Andis believes communities thrive best when charitable giving includes donors from all
income levels. That’s why the Foundation matches Andis Company’s annual United Way campaign and conducts a formal matching program for the benefit of charities supported by Andis Company associates. The Andis Foundation looks forward to continuing to develop partnerships with organizations that exhibit Andis’ guiding values and philosophies of excellence, integrity, and respect in support of strong families and a vibrant community.
In addition to the work of the Andis Foundation, the company gives to other charitable initiatives supported by barbers and stylists across the country including St. Baldrick’s Foundation, haircutting for the homeless, back-to-school haircutting for lowincome kids, and many others.

Luster Products주식
다양한 제품 들로 잘 알려져 있습니다. 그리고 가족이 운영하는 이 사업은 올해에 창립 60 주년이 되었으며, 사업 속도를 늦출 계획은 없습니다. OTC 뷰티 매거진은 이 회사의 역사와 미래에 대하여 더 알아보기 위해 Luster Products 사의 대표인 Jory Luster Sr. 씨와 대화를 나눴습니다.
OTC: Can you give us a brief description of Luster Products’ history?
Luster Products, Inc. was founded by my father, the late Fred Luster Sr., in 1957. He was a successful barber who was inspired to create a line of hair care products that would specifically cater to the health and maintenance of the hair. Initially, he sold and used the products in his own shop. As word spread about the products’ effectiveness—demand increased—he sold his products to other stylists and barbers. As a result of this success, he founded Luster Products, Inc. Mr. Luster guided the company from a modest business to a multi-million dollar, worldwide enterprise.
OTC: How is Luster Products structured?
Luster Products is a corporation. The company is managed by Jory Luster Sr., Fred Luster II and Sonja Luster-Munis. The company is managed by a 17-member management team that oversees all of the operating functions of the company which includes everything from research and development to accounting, engineering, and manufacturing. The company maintains both a Domestic sales division (which sells both retail and salon-oriented products) as well as an International sales division.
Our brands include PINK, S-Curl, Smooth Touch, and Short Looks.
OTC: What do you think has contributed most to your company’s growth in the business to become the powerhouse that it is today?
OTC: Luster Products 역사에 대하여 간략하게 말씀해 주시겠습니까?
Luster Products 주식회사는 제 아버지 이신, 고 Fred Luster Sr. 씨가 1957년도에 설립하셨습니다. 제 아버지는 모발의 건강과 유지관리를 위해 영양분을 공급해주는 헤어 케어 제품 라인을 만들기 위하여 헌신을 한 성공한 미용사이셨습니다. 처음에는 아버지의 샵에서 제품을 판매하고 사용 했었습니다. 제품 효과가 입소문을 타면서—수요가
증가되겠죠—아버지는 제품들을 다른 스타일리스트들과 미용사들에게 판매했습니다. 이 성공의 결과로, 아버지는 Luster Products 주식회사를 설립했습니다. 아버지는 중소규모 사업장부터 수백만 달러를 판매 하는 세계적인 기업까지 가이드해 주었습니다.

OTC: Are there any interesting facts about the company that you would be willing to share?
From my perspective, the most interesting fact about the company is that the company remains family owned and the third generation has joined the company and is already making a solid contribution. We continue to operate in accord with the values that were established by our founder, Fred Luster Sr. We continue to operate from a platform of fairness, honesty, and integrity.
OTC: How can OTC stores benefit by carrying Luster Products and what differentiates you from others of its kind in the market today?
OTC stores benefit from carrying Luster products because their customers are very familiar with them. Our products are known for their high quality. The company also is very active with merchandisers and instore activities in many markets, which drive up store sales and bring consumers into the stores. Our high activity level differentiates us from the competition in many markets.

OTC: How do you determine when it is the right time to develop and release a new product? Are there any indicators you look for and where does the company’s inspiration generally come from?
We are continually developing new products and they are introduced on an annual basis. The inspiration for our new product comes from the need to keep up with changing consumer tastes and demands. We gather information that gives us direction for our new offering from multiple sources, social media, formal and informal consumer research, interactions with the professional salon styling community, and interactions with the consumers via events and field activities.
OTC: How do you keep consumers and store owners educated on product releases, uses and general information?
We keep store owners informed and educated on product releases and general product information via sales rep and merchandiser visits to the actual stores, distributor selling shows, distributor sales meetings, information displayed in distributor catalogs and special store owner-only activities. We keep consumers informed and educated via trade shows, special consumer promotional activities, grand instore promotions, social media (including digital ads, blogger engagements, web based videos, problem/solution tips, etc.), traditional consumer advertising, and editorial content placements.
OTC: 신제품의 개발 및 출시에 대한 최적의 시기를 어떻게 결정하시나요?

We are continually learning and finetuning our natural/ multicultural product offering in order to provide viable solutions to today’s consumers’ needs in this area of the business.
OTC: In your opinion, what is the most interesting aspect of the beauty industry?
I find the fact that through the products that we develop to help consumers solve their beauty needs, we actually provide solutions that help consumers to feel better about themselves, which is very rewarding. I also find the history of the beauty industry itself to be very interesting with all of the transitions and changes that have occurred over the years at all levels within the industry.

Consumers may go into an OTC retail store to buy hair products, but many pick up a few extra items along the way. Cosmetics are often one of the final add-ons to a customer’s order. Whether they’re grabbing some lipstick or a nail polish in a shade they’ve been hoping to try, inexpensive grab-and-go products will always be a hot seller at a beauty supply store. Be sure to take note of these popular items and stock up on your next order.
1J Nail Lacquer in Clear JNP058
Why It’s the Top Contender
Clear coat nail polish is often the item that nail enthusiasts cut costs on, so to grab a bottle of the J. Nail Lacquer in Clear is likely a no-brainer for customers. Plus, this bargain polish offers an excellent clear coat for less than $2. It’s no wonder this topcoat flies off the shelves.
Suggested Retail Price: $1.09
Top Stats

This isn’t the only top seller from J Nail Lacquer. Check out the popular brand in black (JNP024).
When shopping for styling tools and products, shoppers may turn to online product reviews for guidance. This not only makes customers more likely to purchase popular merchandise, but it also boosts sales for these trending items, as well. That’s why it’s important to know what products are selling well and are in high demand at Jinny Beauty Supply. This monthly feature will keep you posted on what’s in and what’s out, so you can purchase your inventory accordingly.
What’s not to love about long lasting, full lashes that are made of 100 percent human hair? We suspect this item is popular due to its glamorous lash design and affordability.

BB Creams are quite popular for their light coverage and smooth application. This makes the Maxi BB Cream a great beauty supply store staple. Customers interested in trying a BB cream will likely grab this item while purchasing other beauty products.

It’s challenging for women of color to find pressed powder that matches their skin flawlessly without pinching the wallet. The Zuri Pressed Powder, however, fits the bill for many shoppers as the Cocoa Bronze shade and several others are frequent hot sellers at Jinny. This powder absorbs excess oils and reduces shine, for a natural matte finish.

As high school graduates become collegiate freshmen in the fall, acquiring personal grooming tools and techniques become a higher priority. During this transition period (which often includes moving to a new city), facial hair blooms and visits to one’s favorite local barbershop cease. The concern of finding a new barber can be a real problem. As a trusted men’s grooming expert in my neighborhood, I’m often asked for grooming tips during this time of transition.
The two biggest issues for college freshmen are: finding someone new to trust with his grooming regiment and deciding if they would be better off doing their own grooming versus trusting a stranger with their hair. Many young men come to the conclusion that nobody knows their hair better than they do. In this case, the only things missing from DIY grooming success are the right tools and techniques.
The young man with blooming facial hair would benefit most by having the Andis Envy™ clipper and T-Outliner® combo called the Andis Barber Combo Kit. The T-Outliner trimmer is the best-designed tool for outlining facial hair and dry shaving. This combo set is also the best starter kit for the brave soul who now desires to handle his hair, as the Envy clipper features eight attachment combs to achieve many hair cutting lengths.
In addition, if a young man (or woman) is looking for a convenient tool for shaving, the Andis Profoil Li shaver is the best choice. It features large, independent foil heads that make shaving easy and smooth. The specially designed titanium foils help cut hair close while cutting it in a way that helps prevent ingrown hairs. For the best prevention of bumps when shaving, couple the Profoil Li shaver with Andis Bump Care™.
For grooming videos featuring these tools visit Andis on YouTube, master-barberschool.com, and andis.com. These educational videos from Andis can help consumers and professionals alike with step-by-step grooming techniques that work. Armed with the right tools and techniques from Andis, growing from boys to men becomes easy.

The beauty industry is usually known for its charitable contributions and cause-related marketing efforts. From the early days of free Back to School “Curl-A-Thons” many firms have sought to give back to their consumers. In today’s market, beauty industry firms offer a variety of philanthropic promotions. These programs target the issues most relevant to their target consumers. Charitable programs are good business: Over 87 percent of consumers make their purchase decisions associated with a relevant cause. Over 70 percent believe companies have an obligation to take actions that will improve community concerns. Many programs heighten brand awareness. Some may focus on cultural or religious festivities while others may connect a brand with a mission. Consumers need to know that the OTC and the marketer are in touch and aware.
One of the most popular cause-related marketing efforts supports the National Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Major beauty brands participate every year on a national level—Aveda, Clinique, Conair and Estee Lauder. Other popular philanthropic efforts involve awareness and education involving AIDS, Autism, Diabetes, and Cancer. National philanthropy may link purchases and promotional programs to key environmental concerns. To be a good corporate citizen, every manufacturer should associate with a cause whether related to health, social or environmental matters. Charity begins in the neighborhood. Local OTC programs involve donations, local events, or other fundraising efforts. Every customer is watching to see if there is a spirit of charity where they shop. Many marketers identify health related issues that index higher among their consumer groups. Other marketers may want to provide local community efforts which could involve the local OTC stores. Specialty holidays like Cinco de Mayo or Juneteenth would be ideal. Many causes are beauty causes. For instance hair loss or anti-aging. Whatever the cause, there is a charitable connection for every marketer and retailer.

Another distinguishing aspect of the show are the highly curated areas that are trend directional allowing buyers to quickly get a pulse of what is up-and-coming across different categories. Making a return were DISCOVER BEAUTY, DISCOVER BEAUTY SPOTLIGHTS and DISCOVER SCENT for specialty retail along with TONES OF BEAUTY for multi-cultural beauty and DISCOVER GREEN for organic beauty. Unique to the show are the curated sections where key buyers participate in speed-dating meetings with selected companies; for DISCOVER BEAUTY retailers included Kohl’s and Neiman Marcus.

Exhibitors outside of special areas were not left without opportunities to meet with key buyers on their own.

This is a direct indication that is no better place to discover and be discovered than at Cosmoprof North America.
Industry recognition and a chance to network with thousands of industry professionals were also highlights of the exhibition. Events like the Discover Beauty Awards, which expanded from year’s past to included Discover Green Leaf and Discover Beauty Pro exhibitors was a unique chance to network and recognize the most innovative and on-trend brands. Among the winners of the Discover Beauty Awards were PRO-EVOX (Discover Beauty PRO), Glycelene (Discover Green Leaf) and Battington Lashes (Discover Beauty).
Giving back has been a huge part of the exhibition for many years and this year was no different. The highly coveted Boutique area allowed attendees the opportunity to engage and discover the latest products and curate a unique and reusable beauty box with over $18,426 raised for PBA Foundation (Look Good, Feel Better) -- an increase of 30% over 2016. Glamour Me also returned to give attendees the chance to try exhibitor products first-hand while receiving beauty treatments, makeup and styling. Donations were collected on behalf of the PBA Foundation.
New for 2017, CPNA engaged in retail partnerships with Amazon and QVC as well as international shopping networks from around the world. Amazon and QVC were at the show seeking to meet with brands, of which, some will be chosen to have their products featured at a “Discovered at Cosmoprof North America” section on their respective platforms. Beauty buyers for QVC were also available to meet with attendees and exhibitors at their booth.
Understanding that packaging is a huge part of a beauty brand’s success, CPNA created a full rounded program to emphasize and highlight this industry sector. This year marked the debut of a new program, Discover Pack where innovative suppliers covering various facets of the supply chain were featured; these companies enjoyed a distinctive design and dedicated marketing along with guaranteed meetings from leading companies such as Estee Lauder Companies and Sephora. Also putting the spotlight on the production side, attendees were able to see the Fabulous Live Lipstick show,
showcasing Italian Excellence from 3 key suppliers (CMI Industries, Intercos, Lumson) and walk away with freshly made lipsticks. To provide inspiration and recognize true creativity in packaging and contract manufacturing, the new Beauty Innovation and Design Awards (BIDA) was hosted during the show; finalists were on display and winners were announced at a ceremony where 12 prizes were given out to various companies including Estee Lauder and Sphynx. Several sold out educational sessions were also dedicated to packaging trends and analysis.
CPNA also hosts PBA Beauty Week which included the sold-out PBA Business Forum with celebrity keynote Earvin
‘Magic’ Johnson and the coveted North American Hairstyling Award (NAHA) where winners were recognized during a star-studded awards ceremony; the Lifetime Achievement Award was given to industry icon Sam Villa.

Aptly the world’s natural & organic personal care and cosmetic market is projected to reach $19.8bn[1] by 2022, representing an annual growth rate of 10.2% from 2016 to 2022 and Asia-Pacific is estimated to register the highest annual growth of 11.1% during this time. Meanwhile, the well-entrenched popularity of facial masks in APAC is spreading across the western world.

Natural Extracts: In order to help the region’s manufacturers source innovative new ingredients, the Spotlight on Natural Extracts area at in-cosmetics Asia will feature a number of suppliers including CLR, DOC Japan and many more that have sourced unique plant and marine extracts from 100% natural sources with distinctive applications in personal care products. Not only that, during a presentation in the Marketing Trends Theatre leading experts on natural products will highlight the latest consumer demands from Asia Pacific.
The third trend to be explored in detail at in-cosmetics Asia 2017 will be colour cosmetics. Euromonitor International anticipates that APAC will replace the US as the leading colour cosmetics region by 2020, whilst in India alone the colour cosmetics market is projected to grow by more than 20% by 2020 – driven by an increasing number of women entering the workplace and demanding products such as lipsticks, lip gloss, nail polish, eye liners and mascara.
Sarah Gibson, Exhibition Director at in-cosmetics Asia, commented: “We have chosen to specifically focus on these areas as the demand for these product types in Asia Pacific is positively booming. Google recently revealed ‘masking’ is the most searched-for skincare term globally and naturals and colour cosmetics continue to remain strong, dynamic growth markets. These three areas provide exciting product development opportunities to manufacturers and we will provide invaluable
Facial masks: In the Spotlight on Facial Masks area, a dedicated product showcase area will feature active and functional ingredients for use in masks, as well as materials particularly suited to face and eye mask creation. In addition, a Marketing Trends presentation will be given by Senior Beauty and Personal Care Innovation and Insights Analyst at Mintel, who will examine the future growth opportunities for this category.
Colour cosmetics: Make-up has long been a staple of the cosmetic industry and, over the last few years, innovations in pigments and unique uses of colour have seen it become an increasingly important area of the market. In the event’s Spotlight on Colour Cosmetics area, R&D professionals will find an array of new technologies to try that will help them capitalise on the latest trends in lip colour and face make-up.
Why attend in-cosmetics Asia 2017?
The APAC region is forecast to grow to around US$192bn by 2021 at an annual growth rate of 5.52%, according to Euromonitor International. With more than 4bn potential consumers spanning 48 countries, the markets in this region are abundant with opportunity.
Propelled by the unprecedented growth in the region over the past five years, in-cosmetics Asia 2017 is expected to be the largest edition in its history – uniting the entire APAC cosmetic industry.
The 2017 event will provide personal care product manufacturers with a platform to source new ingredients and technologies, expand their networks, establish new partners and learn about predicted future trends. This year’s event will build on the success of last year’s event, which attracted cosmetic manufacturers from 77 countries across Asia Pacific.
Speaking about the 2016 event, Alice Lefebvre, R&D Development Chemist at L’Oréal Japan, said: “I came across a hugely diverse range of suppliers at in-cosmetics Asia that were completely new, and a wide array of ingredients not yet on my radar. I believe I have actually found solutions for my current R&D project – what a fantastic show!”
in-cosmetics Asia will take place from 31 October – 2 November 2017 at the BITEC in Bangkok, Thailand. Further information is available at www.incosmeticsasia.com.

Department stores, however, are not giving up. They’re mimicking tactics applied by successful multi-brands specialty stores to draw more traction. In early 2017, Bloomingdale’s launches the first Knockout Beauty boutique composed of prestige brands with a natural/ organic slant. Nordstrom’s beauty area continues to evolve, bringing in brands with limited distribution. Nordstrom also adds beauty concierges in remodeled locations to help guide consumers across brands, showcasing the top products in each beauty category. Neiman Marcus launches its Memory Mirrors to help consumers remember the steps and products used during the in-store makeover.
Bluemercury has made headlines in recent weeks, opening its digitally-enhanced flagship location in New York City, with plans to open 40 more stores by the end of the year. In 2017, Sephora opens its largest store in North America in New York, and a few days ago its smallest 2,000 square foot freestanding concept store, Sephora Studio, opens in Boston. This concept is one step towards creating more curated and digital experiences for consumers in the real world. Alongside digital tools, increasingly demanding younger generations require one-on-one services, including 15-minute facials and 45-minute makeovers that drive consumers seeking a spa-like experience into stores.
Vertically-oriented boutique beauty stores, such as NYX, e.l.f., and Kiko Milano, are conquering local malls as these fastgrowing newcomers offer unique concepts targeted to younger consumers at lower price points. These brands are increasingly offering digital enhancements, such as NYX’s iPads that help create different looks with beauty influencers/vloggers walking consumers through the replication while in store. Enhancing a customer’s experience with a brand is one of the key reasons
A different type of revival is evident in the person-to-person segment of the direct sales channel. Previously characterized by powerhouses like Avon and Mary Kay, this segment has seen the rise of new stars that offer targeted, results-driven products, as well as the utilization of social media platforms and millennial sales associates. Players such as Rodan + Fields, Younique, Beautycounter, Ever Skincare, and Monat are the new generation of social selling brands that will have a high impact on the segment. The proof of this growing trend is Coty’s acquisition of a 60% stake in Younique in early 2017, desiring to tap into this new genre of social media-oriented person-to-person sales.

Label Insight study reveals women are confused about personal care product ingredients and nearly half are willing to pay more for products that contain ingredients that they understand
CHICAGO-- American women are increasingly evaluating the contents of their personal care products and still walking away confused as to what the ingredients are and whether or not they fit into their personal requirements. In response, shoppers are more willing to comparison shop for personal care products with recognizable ingredients and pay more for those products. The study was released today by Label Insight, the market leader for product transparency. It surveyed more than 1,000 consumers on the importance of ingredients in personal care products, feelings of confusion with personal care product ingredients and labeling and the behavioral impact of this confusion on purchasing behavior.
Consumer demand for personal care ingredient information is on the rise.
Label Insight’s 2017 Ingredient Confusion study found that consumers consider ingredients when evaluating personal care products. 68 percent of those surveyed believe it is important or extremely important to consider the ingredients when deciding which products to buy.
Personal care ingredients confuse consumers.
Yet, consumers often do not recognize ingredients on labels. 81 percent of those surveyed do not recognize ingredients on the label of personal care products at least somewhat often. Only 2 percent of women said they always understand what all of the ingredients are.
When buying personal care products, 79 percent of women said they are at least sometimes confused about ingredients listed on the package label. Of those, 45 percent are often, very often or almost always confused.
When considering a personal care product to buy, if the ingredients on the label are confusing:
• 33 percent of women would not buy the product and look to another product instead
• 55 percent of women would look at another product to see if they understand the ingredients better
• 44 percent of women would research the ingredients on their mobile phone while shopping the aisle
Ingredient confusion impacts brand trust and purchase behavior.
The study revealed that when consumers don’t understand product ingredients, it impacts their feelings toward the brand, and purchase behavior. 45 percent of those surveyed say they trust the brand less when they see personal care ingredients they don’t recognize or find confusing.
When it comes to making a purchase, 61 percent of women are more likely to buy personal care products that contain ingredients they understand or recognize. 53 percent would be willing to switch to a different personal care product if they understood the ingredients in that product better. 49 percent will pay more for a personal care product that contains ingredients they understand or recognize.
Ingredient definitions alleviate ingredient confusion and concern
When presented with a confusing, but harmless, ingredient, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, 88 percent were not familiar with it and 49 percent said they would not be comfortable buying a product that contained it. Once defined as liquid form of vitamin C used in cosmetics and personal care products that enables the vitamin C to penetrate the skin more effectively, there was a 43 percent increase in those who say they would be “very comfortable” purchasing the product.
“While consumer demand for product transparency in food and beverage has experienced a groundswell, our study shows that interest in transparency for personal care products is also on the rise,” said Kira Karapetian, Vice President of Marketing for Label Insight. “Women in particular are concerned about what is in their personal care products - from lotion to shampoo to sunscreenand will make buying decisions based on ingredient data. It will be
important for manufacturers to respond and to provide solutions such as SmartLabel in order to address these demands.”

Dark and Lovely® Au Naturale, the award-winning authority on natural hair care and styling, is excited to introduce a new regimen to cleanse and define curls: Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Clumping Clay Cleanser and Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Clumping Curl Crème Gel, two products with a nourishing blend of Argan Oil and Coconut Oil that moisturizes and smoothes curls and coils.
Inspired by naturalistas as a curl enhancement, “clumping curls” is the act of hair strands binding together to create a natural curl without the frizz. What’s great is that the thicker the hair strand clumps, the bigger the curl. In the past,
women with natural hair would create their own clay wash mixture –such as Bentonite Clay and Apple Cider Vinegar – to clump their curls. However, Dark and Lovely Au Naturale has taken the guesswork out of clumping curls by introducing this easy, no-need-to-cocktail system. Just cleanse, clump and go!
The clay cleanser kicks off the two-step system by softly binding and defining curls. Then the crème gel holds it all together, creating a new way of achieving curl definition. The new Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage extension includes:
• Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Clumping Curl Clay Cleanser – The first step of the clumping routine, this clay cleanser is formulated with a nourishing blend of Kaolin Clay, Argan Oil and Coconut Oil that cleanses without stripping hair of moisture and encourages curl definition.
• Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Clumping Curl Crème Gel – The second step of the clumping routine, this crème gel holds your curls together without buildup and frizz.
The Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage maintenance and styling line is infused with nourishing oils to provide all-day hydration, elongation, definition and nourishment for all curl types. Featuring an exclusive anti-shrinkage recipe, these products are specially formulated to address the unique needs of naturally curly hair textures to fight curl shrinkage, frizz, and elongate curls all-day long and contains NO drying alcohol, NO mineral oil, NO petrolatum, NO sulfates and NO parabens*.
