L'Oreal Says Consumer Needs Drive Technology Efforts

May 19, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
L'Oreal ensures that its innovation efforts in fields, such as wearable technology and product personalization, are focused on actual consumer needs and are not just driven by new technologies, according to Guive Balooch, global VP of the company's Technology Incubator unit. Speaking at the South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, Balooch said his company has always wanted to use technology in creating “platforms and things that we felt were based on real consumer needs that could go multi-brands later.” For example, the company created My UV Patch, a wearable sensor that lets consumers monitor their exposure to ultraviolet radiation using their smartphones.

Amazon Eyes To Grab Share Of Baby Care And Laundry Detergent Markets From Procter & Gamble

May 19, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Online retailer Amazon plans to expand its private-label lineup by offering diapers and laundry detergent under its Mama Bear brand. Amazon's planned move will see it compete with Procter & Gamble, owner of some of the bestselling brands in those categories. While P&G trails rivals Kimberly-Clark and Unilever in organic sales performance, its laundry care lines, including Tide, and baby care products, driven by the Pampers brand, have been performing strongly in the US. Although Amazon could heavily promote its Mama Bear brand, it is likely to find it hard to compete with P&G in terms of product innovation and marketing.

USA: Ice Cream Shops Nationwide Help Tom's Launch Pain-Relieving Toothpaste

May 19, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Eco-conscious ice cream shops in 14 states coast-to-coast are participating in a promotional campaign launching the new Tom's of Maine Rapid Relief Sensitive Toothpaste. Dubbed the Sustainable Ice Cream Trail, the campaign encourages ice cream lovers to visit one of the shops that sells only ice cream or gelato containing only natural, locally-sourced ingredients. The new toothpaste uses a patented technology that combines arginine and calcium carbonate to “help seal out pain” in sensitive teeth from eating ice cream. The company claims the toothpaste – which contains no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives – relieves pain in 60 seconds, and also strengthens enamel, whitens, freshens breath, and provides cavity protection.

Japan-based skincare and cosmetics brand Kanebo plans to launch a marketing campaign, as well as remake its image, in time for its celebration of its 80 years in business in September 2016.

Kanebo is taking a three-pronged approach to marketing by, first, encouraging women to accept their unique beauty; second, providing through beauty consultants personalized counseling based on a woman's daily, weekly, monthly, and yearlong needs; and, third, providing women with a total sensory experience with products that smell good and are easy to put on.

Antibacterial Personal Care Products Doing More Harm Than Good, Latest Study Suggests

May 18, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Triclosan, the antibacterial agent used in many personal care products, interferes with the community of bacteria that compose our microbiome, according to a study by Oregon State University scientists. Published in the journal PLOS ONE, the study focused on adult zebrafish that were exposed to either normal food or food with triclosan for up to seven days. Results showed exposure to triclosan was connected to significant changes in the diversity and structure of the fish's microbiome. Triclosan has been linked to bacteria resistance, hormone disruption, and possibly even liver cancer by previous studies, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviewing the new research.

Listerine Zero's Global Market Opportunity Could Reach $17 Billion

May 18, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Among the hundred new products Johnson & Johnson is launching in 2016 is Listerine Zero, whose advertising will emphasize going ”beyond germ kill” to fulfill “the human desire to feel fully prepared and fully ready.” The company is trumpeting that message, via professional networks and digital media, to 80 countries, hoping to achieve the same market penetration it has reached in the U.S. If it accomplishes that goal it will add 200 million more households globally, which would triple Johnson & Johnson's business. According to the company's arithmetic, if people in those newly-acquired households “swished” with Listerine Zero five times a day, it would mean a $17 billion market opportunity.

Amazon Beauty GM Reveals Secret To Amazon.com's Growth As Online Beauty Retailer

May 17, 2016: 12:00 AM EST

Dogan said customer behavior is significantly changing, with 75 percent of consumers starting their shopping process online. Amazon’s beauty business is growing strongly, due to independent beauty brands, rich content, and an automatic replenishment option.

Amazon Finds It Harder To Dominate Online Beauty Retail Market In France

May 16, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
In France, only 16 percent of prestige beauty brands sell their products on Amazon, compared with 56 percent on beauty retailer Sephora, according to market research firm L2. Data from L2's Beauty France Index revealed beauty brands, such as Marionnaud and Nocibe, have created their own digital ecosystems that combine creative content with e-commerce and use their offline store locations to offer shipping and delivery methods. Also, French brands have been able to resist the gray market, more so than their German and UK counterparts were able to.

May 11, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Latinas ranked deodorant as their most important beauty product, according to a survey conducted by Edelman Intelligence for beauty brand Dove. Results of the survey, conducted in March 2016 and covering 692 Hispanic women across the US aged 18 to 54, revealed 75 percent of Latinas agreed that a beauty product is any product that enhances a woman’s self-confidence. For Latinas, putting on deodorant before leaving the house is five times more important than putting on foundation or concealer, eight times more important than wearing lipstick or lip gloss, and 13 times more important than putting on perfume. When they have forgotten to put on deodorant, 88 percent of Latinas say they feel self-conscious; 71 percent distance themselves from others; and 57 percent have returned home to put deodorant on.

GlaxoSmithKline’s TV commercial for its Aquafresh toothpaste, which includes claims that the product’s fluoride ingredient offers 24 hours of protection from sugar, was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority. With the complaint brought by rival manufacturer Colgate-Palmolive, the case highlights an intensifying competition between the brands.
