Review of 2004 Trends Presentations
June 2004
The challenge of targeting older consumers with relevant beauty
products was a pivotal theme of this year's in-cosmetics Industry
Trends Presentations which took place at Fiera Milan, Italy. The three
day programme featured speakers from leading market research companies
and marketing consultancies who provided an overview of global trends
and insight into key issues concerning the cosmetics and toiletries
industry.

Skin Care Delivery Systems
Vispi Kanga discusses current trends for delivering actives into the skin.
The U.S. market for drug delivery technologies is expected to increase
from $19 billion in 2000 to more than $41 billion by 2007.1
Technological advances utilizing drug discovery approaches such as
high-throughput screening, animal model systems, nanotechnology and
biochemical assays have helped create a new generation of
scientifically advanced skin care and cosmetic products. Although
these new products do not make drug claims, they rely on many of the
same techniques to deliver ingredients.
At the same time, advances in delivery technology have created new
opportunities in the formulation of cosmeceuticals. They can now be
administered through many routes by a variety of delivery systems.
-------------------------------------------------

Wipes: Cleaning Up
Nonwovens are a sweeping success in every room of the house.
According to market tracker Euromonitor, the global market for
disposable consumer-oriented wipes reached $4.5 billion, with
double-digit growth every year since 1997. Of that amount, baby care
is a solid $882 million, but household applications and personal
care-at $715 million and $554 million-aren't far behind, according to
Euromonitor.
"The wipes category has grown tremendously in recent years," said
Susan Stansbury, a Green Bay, WI-based consultant formerly with
Arketype, Inc. "Not only has there been general growth of traditional
wipes like baby wipes, but there is an explosion in both skin
cleansing and household cleaning wipes."
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.happi.com/special.htm#Oct043
Novel Active Cosmetic Ingredients
Do those anti-aging cosmetics in your medicine cabinet do more than
beautify the skin? Vispi Kanga explains.
A Demand for Efficacy
The skin care industry needs a facelift since the sales of facial
moisturizers and sun care were flat and the hand and body lotion
category declined.1 The R&D challenge is to develop the know-how to
deliver active ingredients to skin while maintaining their maximum
therapeutic effect. Technological advances utilizing drug discovery
approaches such as high-throughput screening, animal model systems,
nanotechnology and biochemical assays has helped create a new
generation of scientifically-advanced skin care and cosmetic products.
Novel cosmeceutical ingredients are enjoying the "hot new and unique
ingredients" status in a fairly mature U.S. cosmetics industry. They
are added in topical formulations before there is a solid body of
scientific evidence to support their therapeutic performance. These
new consumer-friendly ingredients are in products that mimic the
effects of more drastic methods, such as dermabrasion and Botox.
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.happi.com/current/June042.htm
Nurturing Naturals
Suppliers have rolled out a wide range of ingredients as natural
personal care products transform from hippie to hip.
Natural personal care products represented 14% of the personal care
category and sales of $4.6 billion in 2002, according to the Nutrition
Business Journal (NBJ). Overall, Packaged Facts said sales of U.S.
natural personal care products have soared nearly 52% since 1998.
Executives at Bio-Botanica, Hauppauge, NY, said the explosive growth
in botanicals is also due to a widespread natural, holistic lifestyle
approach, awareness of alternative products and scientific validation.
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.happi.com/current/Feb042.htm
The Mystical Properties of Mists
Mikuni?s spray technology enhances vitamin C absorption.
Can this new idea in skin care really fly? Executives at Revenir, a
division of $5.4 million engine and aircraft manufacturer Mikuni
American Corp., Northridge, CA, say they have unlocked the secret to
healthy skin through a new hand-held mist technology that electrolyzes
water. This spray application is said to be the next cosmeceutical
innovation. ?This is a new generation of delivery,? explained Priti
Odedra, vice president of business development, Mikuni America Corp.
?This is the future. We will see drugs administered this way.?
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.happi.com/current/Feb043.htm
Nutracosmetics: a new growth segment
Novel creams and lotions are set to hit store shelves.
Noutracosmetics are a new class of products in the health and beauty
aids category. They incorporate nutraceutical ingredients in topical
delivery systems with the elegance, skin feel and ancillary benefits
of cosmetics.1 Nutracosmetics differ from cosmeceuticals in the origin
of their functional ingredients. Nutraceutical ingredients formulated
in cosmetic delivery systems constitute nutracosmetics, whereas
cosmeceuticals are cosmetics formulated with pharmaceutical-type
ingredients. For regulatory purposes, however, the product claims
usually determine the status as a cosmetic or a drug.

COSMETICS MADE FROM FOOD
Tapping the Skin-Care Properties of Everyday Foods (January 18,
2005)Cosmetics made from sake (Gekkeikan Sake/Jiji)
Skin-care products made out of sake, soy milk, natto (fermented
soybeans), and other common Japanese fare are now all the rage. Their
popularity is thought to be an outgrowth of heightened public interest
in healthy living. Facial cleansers and other skin-care products have
become a focus of particular attention because they are applied
directly to the skin. The trend is also being fueled by the ready
availability of these goods at neighborhood drugstores and over the
Internet and by their low cost.

Cosmeceuticals 2004: Anti-Aging Skin Care
Pub Time: 2004/10
With over 206 million people in the aging and photodamage population
worldwide, demand for anti-aging treatments will continue to grow.
Prevention of skin damage is the main concern for cosmeceuticals
consumers in the 25-35 age group. Use of these products is on the rise
as consumers devote more time and money to a spectrum of
over-the-counter and prescription skincare products and start seeking
facial treatments at a younger age.
Cosmeceuticals, which represent the intersection of cosmetics and
drugs, is a growing class of hybrid skincare products that target
broadening age groups and more educated customers as manufacturers
intensify marketing efforts through multiple distribution channels.
Trends also show that consumers have increased expectations, are
making more sophisticated decisions, and are asking for third-party
validation of product efficacy claims.
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.lipscombchemical.com/personal.html
PERSONAL CARE INDUSTRY
The latest trends are for innovative emulsion platforms that allow
formulators greater flexibility in non-traditional emulsion systems.
This includes non-ionic emulsifiers which allow the incorporation of
formula-sensitive ingredients such as Retinol, Liposomes, Alpha and
Beta Hydroxyacids, and Vitamins. Facilities equipped with homogenizers
are also able to take advantage of a new class of emulsifiers, liquid
surfactants, and thickening agents that allow for cold-processing and
other energy efficient manufacturing processes.
The new trend is towards "natural" ingredients that have substantiated
marketing claims, either by in-vitro or in-vivo testing. Other trends
include the move away from animal or petroleum sourced raw materials.
Fortunately, there is a wide of array of ingredient replacements with
similar aesthetic attributes that make such a change possible without
a significant expenditure of product development time.

Cosmeceuticals: Misconceptions & Market Opportunities
while the cosmeceuticals segment remains one of the largest growth
areas for the personal care market, confusion remains
The cosmetic and over-the counter (OTC) drug industries are buzzing
with talk of great market potential in the new ?cosmeceutical?
category. Cosmeceuticals?cosmetic products intended to have
therapeutic effects on the body?are widely reported to be the fastest
growing sector of the cosmetic industry with a market value forecast
of $5 billion by 2007.
Examples of currently marketed cosmeceuticals include skin lotions
with botanicals added to counter the effects of aging and creams
containing antioxidants to fight environmental damage.

The Natural Skin Care Market
2004-09-17 - Darrin C. Duber-Smith, MS, MBA
According to San Francisco, CA-bases SPINS, a research firm that
tracks natural product velocities through scanning data, the natural
skin care market represented 37% of total natural personal care sales
in 2002 and grew at a rate of 18% over the previous year. This
important market segment is comprised of soap and bath, spa,
?cosmeceutical? and natural color cosmetic products, among many
others, and represents a significant chunk of the growing natural
personal care industry.

Stock Packaging: Custom Looks
Clever use of decoration can turn standard components into something special.
A paradox exists in decoration trends. Companies are looking for
bright colors, texture, anything that attracts attention. But they?re
also looking for fewer colors, matte finishes, anything that relays
simplicity.
?There are two ends of the spectrum. One is instant visual impact,
which dictates brilliant colors, a lot of process work, and many
colors on the container. The other is the crisp, clean, two-color,
almost pharmaceutical look, using one pass of a silk screen and maybe
a stamping pass to keep it crisp, clean and smart,? said Bob Smith,
director of package development and purchasing for Cosmetic Essence
Inc., located in Holmdel, NJ. ?There?s not a lot in the middle.?

Marketinv Beauty Products from the Inside Out
Nevertheless, both the nutrition business and the skin-care business
are looking for new venues for significant growth because they?re
running into some problems in their traditional markets. The food
business is casting about everywhere for more healthful offerings as
it becomes the target of obesity lawsuits, for example, while the
color-cosmetics business has been a drag on beauty companies with the
recent lag in the economy. Wellness-driven skin products could turn
out to be a billion-dollar market, estimates Walter Levy, a managing
director at Kurt Salmon Associates, who specializes in retail trends
and positioning.
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.cosmeticpackaginganddesign.com/features/featureSepOct031.htm
Personal care products are a huge part of the beauty business. Retail
sales for personal care consisting of baby care, bath and shower, hair
care, men?s grooming, oral hygiene, skin care, depilatories and sun
care totaled $32.9 billion in 2002, according to Euromonitor
International, Chicago. And, the largest share of those sales is made
through mass market retailers, drug store chains, grocery stores and
big box discount stores.
Euromonitor?s data shows that within the mass market, the shift is
from traditional patterns in which consumers picked up shampoo,
toothpaste and hand cream while they shopped for groceries or when
they passed through a drug store to the big box discounters such as
Wal-Mart and Target.

Teenagers clearing up the medicated skin care market
Things are looking up for the $1.6 billion medicated skin care market,
thanks in part to increases in the acne treatment market: teenagers.
In the last five years, the number of 15- to 24-year-olds jumped
almost 8%, due for another 5.6% increase by 2008. More teenagers means
more sales in medicated skin care.
Sales of acne treatments are predicted to increase 22% from 2003 to
2008, benefiting from the growing number of teens and young adults. At
constant 2003 prices, total sales of medicated skin care products are
predicted to increase 7% by 2008.

INNOVATIVE SPECIALTY ACTIVES AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS SPUR GROWTH IN SKIN CARE
LITTLE FALLS, NJ, November 1, 2004 ? From makeover-based reality TV
shows to the now-commonplace use of Botox, Americans are seemingly
growing more obsessed with staying younger-looking and are buying the
skin and hair care products to help them reach their own personal
fountain of youth. This fixation has contributed to a steep increase
in the anti-aging products market, as well as the materials that are
used to formulate these products.
Much of this phenomenon is rooted in the health and wellness concepts
that began in the 1960s. Now, a baby boomer population that is
reluctantly approaching its senior years is adhering to the youthful
philosophy by purchasing anti-aging products that are formulated with
specialty active ingredients. Marketers and manufacturers of both
finished products and actives need to be ready to grab their piece of
the pie, according to a study soon to be published by Kline & Company.

The lure of generation Y - 20 Dec 2002
With a plethora of anti-ageing products flooding the market, catering
for society's baby boomers would appear to be at the fore of new
trends within the cosmetics and toiletries industry. However,
manufacturers have also set their sights firmly at the other end of
the spectrum, on the tweens and teens market, as they increasingly
segment products across all age groups.
Teenagers combine a strange mix of wanting to be like everyone else,
yet have a strong desire to express individuality. This paradox, in
addition to this group?s sceptical attitude to brand marketing, raises
issues about how to tap into the market.

MAINSTREAM MARKETERS SPARK RETAIL GROWTH OF PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE
PRODUCTS CATEGORY
LITTLE FALLS, NJ, January 24, 2005 - For women who are looking to take
years off their appearance, the skin care solution they're searching
for could be as close as their local department store, where no
appointment is needed, no surgery is involved, and a bank loan isn't
required to pay for it.
Over the past five to six years, the market for professional skin care
products, sold primarily through spas and salons or dermatologist and
plastic surgery clinics, has been booming. But a blitz of competitive
mainstream products that mimic these professional ones has increased
retail distribution in this sector substantially, expanding the
overall market but also taking share away from scores of smaller, more
exclusive brands.
Sales in this area by traditional brands such as Olay, Lancome,
Neutrogena, Clinique, and Estee Lauder grew more than 80% in the past
year, leaping to an estimated $285 million in 2004, according to THE
U.S. PROFESSIONAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS MARKET 2004, a market study just
published by Kline & Company.
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.happi.com/current/Dec042.htm
Retail products have always been a good source of cash flow for the
spa industry. The U.S. Professional Skin Care Market 2003 study done
by The Kline Group reported that total high-end skin care product
sales generated approximately $200 million from retail sales in day
spa, cosmetic surgery, dermatology and medical spa facilities in 2003.
Products used for professional treatments represented approximately
19.3% of total 2003 sales, with home-use (retail) sales representing
the remaining 80.7%. Estimates from Kline indicate that professional
skin care product sales rose at a compound annual growth rate of
11.1%, whereas the traditional cosmetic and toiletry market expanded
by approximately 5.4% during the same period. In a recent study
released by the International Spa Association, the U.S. spa industry
generated an estimated $11.2 billion in overall revenue in 2003.

New beauty capitals emerge - News - Brazil, Sweden, Finland
Drug Store News, Nov 3, 2003
Paris and New York have long held the distinction as beauty capitals
of the world. Each is widely recognized as a country where great
beauty products are born and where international personal care trends
take root.
And while these two cities continue to spawn innovation and excitement
in the beauty industry, a new cast of lesser-known beauty centers has
begun to emerge.
The bio-diversity of the Amazon in Brazil, the vast forests of Sweden
and the crystal-clear lakes of Finland have proven fertile ground for
cutting-edge beauty products.
Several U.S.-based chain drug stores have traveled to these emerging
beauty capitals in search of brands that will appeal to American
consumers and, ultimately, position their drug stores as true
destinations for unique, high-quality beauty products--products not
found in the aisles of their neighboring supercenters.
