THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY BLOOMS We have an exceptional issue highlighting many of those things that harbinger the days to come. Please note the myriad of products L’Oréal Paris has unveiled, and in addition we are also very proud to have them on our cover. This is the first time they’ve been featured in quite some time, and we are thrilled. And what can be more seasonal than the approaching lavender harvest as highlighted by Givaudan’s Olivier Fallet and Marypierre Julien and their amazing work in supporting the production of lavender fields, and expanding their Innovative Naturals Program. On another note, nothing is more exciting than the preparation for the Fragrance Foundation Awards; and hats off to Elizabeth Musmanno and her team’s great work at the Finalists Breakfast. We are all anticipating the awards, which will take place on June 12. It is the beauty awards season, and I would be remiss if I did not mention CEW’s Carlotta Jacobson, not only on her tireless efforts on making the CEW Beauty Awards the juggernaut that they are today, but also hosting the most well-attended events like the Women and Men in Beauty Series. The event is featured on page 16, with The Estée Lauder Companies’ Dream Team speaking about innovative skin care, fragrance, and makeup products. The May flowers are in full bloom, and so are the happenings in the beauty industry!

osmetic Executive Women (CEW) hosted a Women and Men in Beauty Series event entitled “The Estée Lauder Companies’ Dream Team: Beauty Product Innovators,” on April 18 at the Harmonie Club. The evening’s Dream Team comprised Karyn Khoury, senior vice president, corporate fragrance development worldwide, The Estée Lauder Companies; Anne Carullo, senior vice president, global product development, Estée Lauder and Tom Ford Beauty; and Jennifer Balbier, senior vice president, global product development, artistry brands, The Estée Lauder Companies. Khoury, Carullo, and Balbier are forces of nature with regard to innovation in fragrance, skin care, and makeup products, respectively. And as trends and consumer preferences are constantly changing, it’s no wonder innovation was the night’s hot topic. A beauty product is innovative when it is able to sustain the waves of change and adapt to what consumers want. Khoury explained, “The evolution of fragrance includes modern positioning, disruptive communication and vibrant storytelling.” Consumers are an essential component of developing

Carullo expanded on consumer influence in terms of product development. “Our consumer’s voice is so important to us because they are incredibly engaged. We want to be inspired by them.” Although Khoury agreed with Carullo about making consumers a part of the creative process, she emphasized balancing that information with executive intuition. “The biggest successes often come from a leap of faith,” she said. Furthermore, Carullo has found that freeing her mind and testing new protocols helps with product development. “In stripping products of their packaging identities,

we have been able to find out what consumers are really responding to.” While brainstorming, Khoury said it is key to listen to her instincts. “My management team trusts my judgment. Part of good innovation is not being restricted by fear of failure. You reach greater heights of creativity that way.” Additionally, Khoury explained that she travels as frequently as possible to see how consumers are using products around the globe—which gives her a better insight into what they want as opposed to getting that information from a report behind her desk.

COSMETIX WEST R

on Chavers remembers the moment 15 years ago that he decided to found Cosmetix West, which has since become a leading contract manufacturer of fragrances, beauty and personal care products. “It suddenly hit me,” Chavers tells Cosmetic World during a visit to its El Segundo, California, plant, “how much time I’d spent in my professional lifetime trying to find suppliers who had the same quality standards that I did. I realized that this hole in the market was a fantastic business opportunity—that the contract manufacturer I was looking for was me.”

Within a dozen years, Cosmetix West had begun manufacturing a seemingly endless variety of standard industry products in personal care, bath and body, skin care, fragrance, home fragrance, hair care, spa and household. And as the business grew, so did the physical space and equipment required to keep up with orders. Twice, Chavers has had to buy larger buildings and build out his plant with state-of-the-art machinery (including another impressive, new fully automatic filling line that happened to be installed on the day Cosmetic World was visiting Cosmetix West). Today, Cosmetix West has more than

Cosmetix West’s Ron Chavers.

The formulation lab.

Judging by Cosmetix West’s rapid growth and success, that insight proved to be on the money—literally. The company’s first substantial contract was for a large retail chain’s signature fragrances, gels, and body lotions. (Chavers declines to identify the chain, just as he will not reveal any of his numerous name-brand clients). As word spread, leading brands began approaching Cosmetix West with both their established products for filling and inquiries for formulation. Even if it was a category he hadn’t filled before, Chavers and his growing team that now included what he calls “my world-class chemists” would investigate the process and decide whether Cosmetix West could do the job at the expectation level he’d set. “I decided early on that my company could only go as far as its weakest link,” Chavers says, “so that’s why we don’t have any weak links. Everyone here is totally committed to quality formulation, quality products, quality manufacturing process, and concierge-level service.

Barely out of college, Chavers must have impressed a number of people with his smarts and raw talent, because at age 23 he was named vice president of sales at Giorgio Beverly Hills, in charge of opening and maintaining all domestic retail accounts, including Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s and Nordstrom. He also managed the national sales staff and coordinated promotional activities. “It was a wonderful job,” Chavers says, “but in retrospect the best thing that happened to me was Michael Gould being named CEO. After seven amazing years, it was time to become the entrepreneur that I knew I was ready to be after everything I’d learned at Giorgio.” Today, Cosmetix West is growing faster than at any time in its history, thanks to its contracts with several “really hot brands that are flying off shelves,” Chavers says.

One of those benefits is that all Cosmetix West products are entitled to say “Made in California” on their labels. “That looks great on any label,” he boasts, “but especially beauty products.” Even at the end of a wide-ranging conversation and tour of his plant, Chavers still circles back to his obsession with quality. “Look,” he says, “the reason I love waking up and coming here every day is that everyone I work with is as devoted to getting it right as I am. That’s a very great atmosphere to work in. What’s most important to all of us is that our customers have at least one part of their supply chain that they never have to worry about.” BF

Givaudan’s Marypierre Julien and Olivier Fallet.

ivaudan is taking bold steps to support the production of a formative—and beloved—ingredient in the world of contemporary fragrance. Grown on every continent across the globe and utilized for its therapeutic properties since ancient times, lavender is used in a wide variety of formulations today— from fine fragrance to personal care to home and fabric care products. In Brazil, lavender is included in approximately 40% of women’s fragrances as well as most soaps, shampoos and detergents, Givaudan said. However, its existence in the Provence region of France is currently under threat, where a bacteria known as Stolbur’s phytoplasma weakens the plant over a period of three years until it dries out to a greyish straw. Climate changes have caused proliferation of the insect, a leafhopper, that spreads the disease—which is called the “dépérissement” or “decline” by lavender growers, some of whom have lost up to half of their crop. In response, Givaudan has expanded its Innovative Naturals Program, which was launched in 2007 to enrich the palette of its perfumers with new and exclusive naturals. (The program seeks to protect fragile supply chains and support local communities that are involved in production via optimized processes and educational infrastructures.) By building on its existing relationship with the local growers cooperative France Lavande and becoming a member of CRIEPPAM—a fragrant plants research organization—Givaudan has forged a three-pronged effort to finance the supply of certified healthy lavender plants from CRIEPPAM to the approximately 150 members of France Lavande. Accordingly, more farmers are encouraged to join the cooperative, which in turn works to evaluate and improve lavender quality each year. In addition, Givaudan financially supported the development of four plant nurseries that will supply 40% of plant needs for the 2013 lavender crop in France. BF

atrick Firmenich, CEO of the leading fragrance and flavor supplier Firmenich, visited the Les Cayes region of South Haiti last month in support of an initiative launched three years ago benefitting local farming communities there. Haitian vetiver—of which Firmenich is a most significant purchaser—is a crucial resource for the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, which has been plagued over the years by political turmoil and natural disaster. In 2010, Firmenich made a commitment under the Clinton Global Initiative to work Patrick Firmenich with vetiver farmers to ensure sustainable production, and in 2012, the company formed an official partnership with the Swiss Development and Cooperation Agency (SDC) to further support local farmers. Firmenich’s primary goals in Haiti include: improving agricultural methods and training; recreating dynamic ecosystems; providing better access to education, water, hygiene and nutrition; and job creation for women and men alike.

Patrick Firmenich meets students in the primary school that the company constructed in Débouchette.

The company selected the rural agricultural village of Débouchette in the Les Cayes region to pilot its sustainability work, and the top need identified by locals was access to education for their children. In response, Firmenich constructed a nine-classroom primary school serving approximately 500 students. “The vetiver farmers I met in Haiti welcome the opportunity to complement their artisanal skills with modern technology,” Mr. Firmenich said. “The children from the school in Débouchette shared with me their dreams for a brighter future. As my stay in Haiti came to a close, I left the island with a true sense of hope. Each time I smell the beautiful scent of vetiver, I will know that Firmenich played some small role in touching the lives of the people of Haiti.” BF

Fun in the Sun

f practice makes perfect, then it could be said that Dr. Robert J. Friedman’s practice is attempting to do just that. The good doctor is a dermatological oncologist and a clinical professor at NYU School of Medicine. Skin cancer, needless to say, is of major concern in his area of expertise, and the sun is Enemy #1 when it comes to that issue. Dr. Friedman is determined in his quest to prevent it. “MDSolarSciences is committed to shift the paradigm between sun care and skin care through Provention-R™ science and technology,” he says. In short, sun care is skin care. E ve r yo n e k n ow s that sunscreen is de rigueur to ward off the sun’s harmful rays, but many fail to use it. Why? Because many find that what is available is heavy, poreclogging and filled with irritants. With an eye to rectifying the situation, Dr. Friedman set about, along with his colleagues at Dr. Robert J. Friedman MDSolarSciences™, to researching and developing a line of products with a serious commitment to advance the science of sun protection and skin cancer prevention. Science is the name of the game here. Statistics with regard to skin cancer are downright scary. Here’s the bad news: According to skincancer.org/Skin-Cancer-Facts/, one person dies of melanoma every 62 minutes of every day. There are 3.5 million cases diagnosed annually— that’s more than the combined incidence of breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers. Between 40% and 50% of Americans who live to age 65 will have basal carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma (the two major forms of non-melanoma skin cancer) at least once in their lifetimes. In short, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. And that’s just the tip of the epidermis when it comes to the recorded facts. The good news is that there is a 99% survival rate for those patients whose melanoma is detected early. At the core of MDSolarSciences sun care is ProVention-R™, a complex formulation of state-of-art scientific technology dedicated to protecting the skin, preventing future damage and reclaiming a youthful image marred by past sun-induced damage. As a result, the products are lightweight, non-comedogenic and offer broad-spectrum UV protection without clogging pores, irritating skin MAY 2 0 1 3 /

The formulations use safer ingredients for both people and the planet; they are easily absorbed, comfortable to apply and cosmetically pleasing. All of MDSolarSciences products are rated among the top broad-spectrum sunscreens by the Environmental Working Group. Provention-R™ is both a method and a technology. “At MDSolarSciences we know the science behind photo-aging and the development of skin cancer – allowing us to provide the best available sun care and skin care to deal with the issues,” explains Dr. Friedman. It delivers double-barreled benefits in both sun care and skincare. In sun care, it provides a combination of bioactive ingredients that provide safe, efficacious and cosmetically elegant protection from the harsh UVA and UVB rays from the sun.

air, it is said, is a woman’s crowning glory, and L’Oréal Paris couldn’t agree more. With their introduction of Féria’s Wild Ombré, (just the name conjures up floating visions of chiffon), the company has put the salon look of dark-to-light graduated hair color at the fingertips of every woman with 25 to 45 minutes to spare depending on her preferred intensity of shade. Féria Wild Ombré consists of a three-part system—a Lightening Powder, a Lightening Crème and a Crème Developer—completed by a patented Expert Ombré Brush that precisely targets the locks to be lightened and the look desired. Since its application is instantly customizable, the results can range from subtle to sensational, depending on the whim of the woman whose crowning glory it is. Furthermore, it is suitable for all hair colors (whether natural or treated) and all types. As an added bonus, it protects the strands it lightens. The product retails for $12.99 and comes in three formulations: 060 for medium to dark brown hair; 070 for dark blonde to light brown hair; and 080 for light to medium blonde hair. According to the company, L’Oréal’s recent launch of Age Perfect BB Cream Instant Radiance was the first specifically designed for mature skin. It has a sheer tint of self-adjusting pigments and anti-aging ingredients that tone, treat, protect and reduce the signs of aging. Over time, the formulation works to reduce the dreaded age spots and improve the skin’s glow.

L’Oreal Paris’ Revitalift brand provides the missing link with their Revitalift Miracle Blur, a finishing cream that provides instant gratification in 30 seconds by “blurring” dermal imperfections, such as fine lines, wrinkles and pores to produce a virtually flawless complexion. This effect utilizes the science of optical skin care, the new opti-blur technology, which essentially diffuses light in myriad directions, thereby “erasing” the undesirable elements. It also absorbs and disperses skin’s natural oils, partly thanks to silica, a group of minerals known for its oil-absorbing properties comprised of silicon (1%) and oxygen (99%). Revitalift Miracle Blur, which is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of pores by 22.7%, also provides skin with an overall matte appearance.

Colour Caresse Shine Stain is a lightweight lip stain designed to deliver clear, luminous, long-lasting color with a glossy, high-shine finish (vs. the matte effect that many stains provide). It has a moisturizing, water-based formula that is non-drying, hydrates for six hours, won’t bleed or feather and glides on easily. Containing a blend of light shine oils and concentrated pigments, it comes in 12 fashionable yet wearable shades specially developed by the brand’s Paris-based color designer, appropriately named Orrea Light. Colour Caresse Shine Stain has a wand specifically designed to complement the formula and apply the product with precision. In short, this is a product that lends new meaning to “lip service.” It sells for $9.99 each. Now that hair, skin and lips are impeccable, can the well-dressed nail be far behind?

kin care is very much front and center in Dior’s portfolio of new products. The brand has channeled its innovative research into its new Diorsnow skincare collection featuring exclusive new Icelandic Glacial™ Water technology. This rare and precious active water is protected from the very heart of Iceland’s thousand-year-old immaculate glaciers and gifted with unique brightening powers. The new technology behind the Diorsnow collection combines over a decade of research with the powers of Icelandic Glacial™ Water and TEC™, Dior’s exclusive brightening complex, for a more even, luminous complexion. Devoid of pollution, Icelandic Glacial™ Water is derived from snow and ice, and has been running for over 400 years through volcanic rock formations without ever coming into contact with the surrounding atmosphere. The filtration process leaves it with rare properties, different from other traditional mineral waters. Iceland’s lava rocks act as a shield and protect water from the external environment. The slow filtration process of the water through the lava gives the water the power to counteract acidity—which is known to trigger the production of melanin—and improve overall radiance and evenness of the skin. A low production of filaggrin—a protein that binds keratin fibers in epithelial cells—makes skin more susceptible to external aggressions and increases the production of Diorsnow Anti-Spot Serum melanin. In an area of the skin with visible spots, the production of filaggrin is 66% lower than in normal skin. Diorsnow Anti-Spot Serum corrects visible and developing spots via patented technology that targets the production of filaggrin in the skin. The serum increases filaggrin production by 22% only in pigmented areas. Existing spots become less visible while new-forming spots are cleared before they even begin to appear on the skin’s surface. It is priced at $150.00. Diorsnow White Reveal Extreme Cooling Gel Mask allows skin to reset its temperature, slowing down melanocyte biological processes, and reducing the activity of tyrosinase (responsible for melanin production) by up to 18%. It lowers the skin’s temperature and creates a

Ferragamo Parfums S.p.A. is starting fresh—literally. Following the announcement that the Italian luxury house’s fragrances will now be marketed and distributed stateside by Beauté Prestige International USA (BPI) as of April 1, Ferragamo unveiled a brand new men’s scent on the very day that the agreement went into effect.

The print campaign.

Acqua Essenziale

The crystal blue-hued aromatic tonic is named Acqua Essenziale, and was helmed by world-renowned Firmenich perfumer Alberto Morillas. It launches exclusively at 470 Macy’s doors this month, as well as at Ferragamo’s 33 boutiques nationwide. Founded in the early 1900s, the Ferragamo brand now encompasses a multi-tiered Italian lifestyle dynasty. Salvatore Ferragamo emigrated from Italy to California in 1919, where he became a shoemaker to the stars. He returned to Florence in 1927 and opened a store there in 1938. After his death in 1960, Ferragamo’s widow, Wanda (who is still active in the company today at the age of 85) and his five children took the company’s helm, which went on to produce handbags, men’s and women’s clothing, silk scarves, eyewear, watches and fragrance.

MAKES FIRST FRAGRANCE FORAY

aunched in 1988 as the sunny and flirtatious fashion line of choice for the L.A. style set, laundry by Shelli Segal is now foraying into the world of fragrance. Owned by Perry Ellis International and with its fragrances licensed by Hollywood, Florida-based Falic Fashion Group (FFG), the laundry by Shelli Segal fragrance debuted this month at Lord & Taylor, Boscov’s and over 50 duty free boutiques across the country. (FFG’s parent company, Duty Free Americas, is the largest duty free retail operator in North America).

“Developing the captivating fragrance and eye-catching packaging was an exciting, creative collaboration,” stated Scott Berg, brand manager of FFG. The project was roughly two years in the making, added Cynthia Erland, laundry by Shelli Segal’s vice president of marketing, and takes its inspiration from the brand’s exotic birthplace and bold color palette. Developed by IFF perfumer Clement Gavarry, the floral chypre embodies “the fun, exuberant and sexy feeling of L.A. using energetic, mouthwatering fruits and vibrant florals accented by woodsy undertones,” he said. laundry by Shelli Segal’s top contains fresh mandarin, plum and guava leaf, which unfolds with a textured heart of peonies, orange flowers and osmanthus buds.

Clarins’ Double Serum Launch Celebration and Chanel John Fussell PA The energy radiated at the Clarins’ Dillard’s Northpark counter as VIP customers gathered to celebrate the launch of Clarins’ most innovative skin care launch in history, Double Serum, and to discuss “Awards Season Beauty.” Led by celebrity skin care specialist and vice president of sales at Clarins, Brenton Kearley, Clarins’ customers were educated about the benefits of Double Serum through a brief presentation. “Powered by 20 pure plant extracts and potent high-tech molecules, Double Serum is the only anti-aging treatment that reactivates the five vital functions: hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, protection, and regeneration,” Kearley explained. “Double Serum has two separate phases, one hydric and the other lipidic. With two pumps on your hand, you manually mix it and press it in and out on your face. This method of application increases stimulation and detoxification, leaving your face moist, hydrated and glowing with radiance!” Director of public relations Erin Cohen, account executive (Houston) Michelle Rahman, account executive (Dallas) Diane Cotta, and vice president of Sales Brenton Kearley are proud to celebrate the launch of Clarins Double Serum.

SPOTLIGHT ON DALLAS BEAUTY

REGIONALCORRESPONDENTS

Multi-tasking in Miami: Clarins Double Serum With South Florida’s rushed yet casual lifestyle, sometimes women get a little lax with their beauty regime. Thankfully, we have some of the world’s best experts on hand to help us get back to the basics. Recently Lisa Rosenthal, the Clarins cosmetics area sales director for Florida, came to Macy’s in Dadeland to introduce the amazing new Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate. The lucky women who attended this event were so excited to try the advanced anti-aging serum and to listen to her lessons about maintaining an effective skin care regime that fits their hectic schedules.

At the event, many women admitted to that mistake and also discussed how they were overwhelmed between work and family. There was not enough time in the day, and they still needed to do more. Rosenthal completely understood. “Multi-tasking is a way of life now,” she said. “And at Clarins we create products that fit into that pace, but it’s important to take the time initially to make sure you are applying and using the products properly. Because as busy as we all are, we still want to look terrific!” At the Clarins counter each consultant demonstrated the proper application technique for using the doubleduty Double Serum.

Lisa Rosenthal, Clarins cosmetics area sales director, applies the Double Serum on customers.

“We all want younger, healthier-looking skin,” said Rosenthal. “And a complete skin care regime will only take about 3-5 minutes in the morning and about 5 minutes at night. This really isn’t much time at all, but I see many women who are not following their regimes properly—therefore they are not getting optimal results.” Rosenthal explained that many women make the mistake of floating from counter to counter using a variety of different products and not sticking with one consultant who can really work with them to explain how to use the products and evaluate their progress. This is a real timewaster and not an effective way to enhance your skin.

When you look at the bottle you see that it is a hightech pump dispenser that delivers two formulas that get proportionally mixed upon application in your hand. The Hydric + Lipidic System gives you the optimal blend that most closely mimics your skin’s structure. The formulation is a highly advanced, scientifically proven combination of 20 pure plant extracts and potent hightech molecules that reactivates the skin’s five natural functions: hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, protection, and regeneration. The Clarins instructors showed the women how to dispense the serum into the palm of their hands, then warm it. Then they followed the simple application technique of pressing their hands on the sides of their neck and then on their cheeks and then their forehead. “The method is a little different, but it takes only seconds, and it boosts the results of the serum,” said Rosenthal. The women at the event were really thrilled with the texture and feel of the serum and the way it helped their makeup glide on so easily after. And the long-term statistics are amazing, with dramatic reductions of wrinkles and pores and increased skin firmness. Another top pick that makes being beautiful easier is Clarins’ New BB Skin Perfecting Cream with SPF 25, which blends perfectly for a diverse array of skin tones. “The really hot months in South Florida are coming, and this BB cream simplifies the steps. You have hydration, coverage and SPF all in one.” This triple treat, along with the Double Serum, certainly appealed to the multi-tasking Miami woman, but at the same time all the ladies left with the understanding that a few minutes of proper technique can really turn back the clock. And that is time well spent! BF
