“Today we remember Evelyn Lauder, who helped put breast cancer on the map with the co-founding of the Pink Ribbon almost 20 years ago,” said Carlotta Jacobson, president of CEW. “She was a rockstar, one-ofa-kind. She used her contacts, experiences and resources to help others, and I admired her. When we do have a cure for breast cancer, we can all thank Evelyn.”

“In 1991 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it only took one phone call before Evelyn was helping my parents and I through the terribly hard journey,” said Zinn Moore. “She gave total support and guidance, and always wanted to know how she could help. I feel tremendous loss from her passing, but I am blessed that she was such a wonderful mentor for me—her spirit of giving will forever be remembered.”

Self Magazine, the publication responsible for cofounding the Pink Ribbon with Mrs. Lauder, also reflected on her assiduous contributions to the cause.

“We don’t only remember her for her famous name,

but for her famous fight,” said Laura McEwen, vice president and publisher of Self.

Over the span of 10 years, the seven supportive companies creating the Founders’ Circle have together contributed a staggering $4 million to the Cancer and Careers program.

“780,000 cancer survivors return to work each year,” said Gina Drosos, group president of global beauty for P&G and CEW Foundation chairwoman. “We are only touching a fraction of those lives right now, and this is the only organization to help balance work with the fight of cancer. There is great work left to be done.”

VERSACE REVEALS YELLOW DIAMOND -Continued from Page 285

To create the juice, Euroitalia and Donatella Versace collaborated with Firmenich perfumer Alberto Morillas.

The scent opens with notes of citron blended with pear and bergamot, which unfold to reveal a heart of orange blossom, freesia, mimosa and nymphea. Ambery woods and palo santo wood mix with musk for a sensual dry down.

“Yellow Diamond is a burst of juicy freshness and enveloping sensuality; a diamond that has got character and reminds us of the brightness of a sunny day,” said Morillas. “It expresses luxury, energy and warmth.”

The ad campaign.

A clean, carved bottle highlights the brilliance of the yellow juice, and is topped with a jewel-cut top designed to create the impression of a precious jewel glimmering in the sun. The bottle is housed in a yellow box patterned with a vintage Versace Baroque, which is the first time Versace has directly linked its fashion to fragrance.

The eau de toilette will be priced at $50.00 for 1.0 oz., $67.00 for 1.7 oz. and $88.00 for 3.0 oz., and w i l l b e ava i l a b l e a t M a cy ’s , Bloomingdale’s, Dillard’s, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom and Sephora stores nationwide.

The Magic Inside Thought Leadership

Johan Firmenich The Foundation

Meet 6 of the 6,000 employees at Firmenich who believe sustainability is broader than a “green strategy”. It’s a game changer.

Co-Creating Solutions The power of partnerships to empower thought leadership – to bring to life our vision of individual and collective responsibility – is magical. And, it’s more than that. By harnessing the passion and experience of our internal and external experts, we are transforming ourselves into the fragrance and flavor house of the future.

A differentiating feature of Firmenich’s sustainability vision is expertise in public-private partnerships.

Patrick Firmenich, CEO, explains, “Our first partners in sustainability are our clients. We integrate their objectives and set priorities on projects where we can co-create sustainable solutions, leveraging our wide network of partnerships to promote a holistic view.”

Today, with a strong global presence and a network of partnerships, Firmenich is committing to a 2015 business and sustainability strategy that focuses on meeting the challenges of water management, CO2 reduction, and on finding nutrition and hygiene solutions to positively impact the lives of children around the world.

Firmenich, together with The Firmenich Charitable Foundation, supports more than 200 organizations worldwide. Thinking ahead, we have recently entered into five new sustainability partnerships, including, the Naandi Foundation, the BioTrade Initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Rainforest Alliance and the International Business Leaders Forum.

WWW.FIRMENICH.COM

Broader than a green strategy, a game changer.

Thinking Ahead Sustainability has long been embedded in Firmenich’s business strategy, as evidenced by the steady track record of “firsts” achieved in our industry, including the signing of The Business Charter for Sustainable Development (1991), The World Safety Declaration (2007), and the UN Global Compact and UN CEO Water Mandate (2008). Describing the evolution of their strategy, David Shipman, Group Vice President of Corporate Compliance remarks, “Having met and exceeded seven safety and environment goals set for 2010, we recognized that it was now time to challenge ourselves to reach even more ambitious sustainability goals across all aspects of our business.”

The Long Term View As the largest privately-owned company in its industry and a leading creator of fragrances and fl avors for the world’s most desirable brands, Firmenich’s success has been built upon a long-term view, one that naturally translates into building sustainable partnerships that last.

For 2011, Firmenich continues its support of the GoodPlanet Foundation and their President, renowned photographer Yann Arthus Bertrand, the UN’s main partner for the 2011 International Year of Forests campaign. Globally recognized for his use of art to capture the vulnerability of the earth, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has previously collaborated with Firmenich on the Company’s 2010 Sustainability Report.

Believing in a business strategy that fully integrates our clients, employees and partners into one sustainable vision…this is where the magic begins.

StriVectin-EV Get Even Brightening Serum and StriVectin-EV Get Even Spot Repair.

“Hyperpigmentation is one of the fastest growing segments in the skin care market today,” said Dr. Ellen Marmur, vice chair of cosmetic and dermatologic surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. “Getting an even, clear skin tone, without discoloration, is just as important as wrinkle-fighting to achieving a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. To some patients, it is even more important.”

Different types of hyperpigmentation—melasma, sun spots, freckles, age spots and more—caused by an uneven nutrient supply to various parts of the skin, can be treated topically with an ingredient called niacin.

“Our proprietary accelerator molecule, NIA-114, is a patented form of niacin designed to target the triggers that cause hyperpigmentation by normalizing the transfer of pigments and rebuilding skin health,” said Dr. Myron Jacobson, chief scientist for StriVectin.

“With these two new products, we can guarantee that we are going to enhance the health of your skin.”

Both the serum and the spot repair treatments work on three levels to slow down the production of melanin,

normalize the transfer of pigment and improve the overall quality of the cell, and increase cell turnover to reveal those higher quality cells and get rid of spots quicker.

“StriVectin- EV was tested in 12-week, independent placebocontrolled, double-blind clinical trials with 39 women,” said Dr. Elaine Jacobson, chief scientist for StriVectin. “Each subject conducted self-assessments and provided feedback, as well as participated in before and after analysis using digital photography.

The images speak volumes.”

The brightening serum is to be used all over the face for mild to moderate spots, and the spot repair—an ultra-concentrated formula i n a u n i q u e c l i ck - p e n applicator—is meant to target dark, stubborn spots.

“We’ve learned that 63% of women ages 35 and older experience age spots, discolorations and uneven skin,” said Kristine Cryer, vice president of product development for StriVectin. “These new products push efficacy and speed of results to a new level.”

StriVectin-EV Get Even Brightening Serum will be priced at $89.00 and StriVectin–EV Get Even Spot Repair will be priced at $49.00. Both will be available in stores in January, as well as at strivectin.com.

retailers in Europe to offer a more diverse perspective of the market.

Keeping with the cheer of holiday spirit, retailers reported that they were happy with the sales throughout the season so far, and saw increases across a majority of prestige beauty categories, including fragrance.

There were, of course, a few signs of worry about the potential for a slowdown, but overall, thoughts were positive and so were the numbers.

The Lancôme Boutique in Paris.

Cosmetic World met with Annalise Quest, general merchandise manager for beauty at Harrods, to discuss the store’s new holiday promotions.

“Harrods is embarking on a Crystal Christmas theme in-store and have collaborated with Swarovski to transform a collection of iconic, hero beauty products into crystallized, coveted items—perfect for that allimportant Christmas gift, as well as being collector’s pieces,” said Quest.

“Key exclusive products that we hope will enjoy strong results are the Crème de la Mer 16.9 oz. holder with a crystal encrusted lid, which I’m sure will appeal to our loyal core of Crème de la Mer customers; Sisley has transformed the lid of their Phyto Poudré Compacte into a twinkling leopard print, and Bond No. 9 Harrods Oud is a sparkling example of the classic Harrods Bond No. 9 iconic bottle, encrusted with Swarovski Elements. There are some fantastic stocking filler ideas too that we predict will be popular with our younger customers; for example, Benefit High Beam with a Swarovski lid, and the hugely popular Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara with ribbons of crystals adorning the product.” ■CW december 19, 2011
