Hallo Berlin AND WELCOME

ATTENDEES AT BEAUTYX WERE THE FIRST to hear of the 2019 launch of IBE Berlin, the second IBE in Europe after London. Berlin offers European and non-European indie brands a new opportunity to reach German-speaking consumers, the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest economic demographic. In addition, Indie Beauty Media Group IBMG also introduced its brand curation partnership with Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest online retailer, Feelunique. The showcase of approximately 30 independent American brands debuts July 2018.

Amazon + Indie The e-commerce giant selected BeautyX Retail as the venue to reveal a new initiative that sent waves throughout the world of beauty. The news from the stage spread fast: In summer, Amazon would unveil an Indie Beauty Shop within its Marketplace, where brands sell directly to customers. Early indications point to a strong collection of skincare brands while also including men’s and color cosmetics brands. It’s expected to contain products from international and domestic companies. “Indie beauty is definitely a big focus for us,” said Justin Boettcher, senior strategic business development leader at Amazon, after his Beauty X presentation.

The Retail Summit concluded with a live learning exercise, the Race For Shelf Space contest, which provided a real-life study of brandbuyer interactions. Expert evaluator Jessica Richards, owner of Shen Beauty, awarded ingestible specialist Wannabefounder Sara Grey a six-month mentorship. Her fellow expert evaluators Jenny Duranski, owner of Lena Rose, and Jennifer Robinson, associate divisional merchandising manager of Neiman Marcus, picked bioactive skincare authority Skin Probiotics, and hair and scalp care brand Groh as the winners, respectively.

IBE Dallas 2018 IBE's return to Dallas was marked by large jumps in attendance among buyers (up 64%), press and influencers (up 46%) and shoppers (up 40%). The Indie Beauty Expo charged into Dallas for its second annual trade show in the city, powered by 70 brands presenting at event venue Sixty Five Hundred. The city lived up to its reputation as a national corporate retail center as buyers flocked to the floor during two intensive exhibition days.

American and international independent brands keen to make an impact in the huge Texas and southern U.S. markets made the most out of Dallas IBEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spacious yet intimate setting, and took advantage of the high buyer-exhibitor ratio.

2. HIGH-END SKINCARE

1. ECZEMA AND PSORIASIS PRIDE

In this day and age where people are choosing dignity over degradation, eczema and psoriasis are the latest conditions to come out from behind walls of shame. Freedom Naturals addressed the eczema and psoriasis symptoms of millennial and gen z shoppers with ingredients like organic aloe vera, colloidal oatmeal, shea butter and arnica. To calm the itchy patches on her face, Lindsay Wolf, founder of Svati Organics, formulated the facial serum Balance, an anti-inflammatory blend of black cumin seed, karanja oil, cape chamomile and thyme linalool. Honey Belle’s Sea Salt Facial Bar and Sea Salt Oatmeal Bar are designed to calm and cleanse skin when rubbed on it in circular motions, leaving customers with eczema fresh and buffed results. In its lightweight hand cream, Gallinée incorporates probiotics stemming from deactivated lactobacillus bacteria, as well as a prebiotic mix of gentle fibers and sugars to address eczema.

With the economy chugging along, consumers are shaking off recessionary caution and emerging skincare players are betting on products that carry lofty price tags. Swiss skincare line Mila D’Opiz’s Skin Whisperer Cream ($584), and Skin Whisperer Serum ($424) carry steep prices due to the high price of their formulas’ powerful plant stem cells, which costs as much as $25,000 per kilo. None of Pili Ani’s five products, such as its Intense Hydrating Facial Cream, are priced under $100, given that all are centered upon the nutritionally-dense pili nut found in the Philippine jungle. Luvanti CEO and founder Lidya Wati’s struggles with hyperpigmentation drove her to create the Correctinol Trio Cream ($175), laden with peptides, plant stem cells, flower acids, licorice root extract, resveratrol, ferulic acid, argan oil and vitamins C and E. Luvanti, Mila D’Opiz, Pili Ani

3. CRYSTALS AND BEYOND

Whether due to healing properties or just because sparkly stuff is so mesmerizing, crystals have invaded beauty products with a ferocity that belies their meditative qualities. The Lyfestyle Co. offers perfume oils tailored to a customer’s zodiac sign or numerology number with crystals chosen to help bring out the customer’s positive attributes. Full Unicorn’s Gemstone Resurfacing Treatment has hexagonal gemstone crystals paired with papaya and pineapple enzymes and hyaluronic acid to banish dead skin cells and plump the face. In addition to being charged with Reiki energy and infused with crystals, Holistic Hemp Co.’s bath bombs have 20 milligrams of CBD, kaolin clay, sea salt and essential oils.

Full Unicorn, Holistic Hemp Co., The Lyfestyle Co.

relies on four ingredients—non-nano zinc oxide, organic coconut oil, organic vanilla extract and organic beeswax— and gimmick-free packaging. Its SPF 30 Sunscreen Stick, with a diameter about the width of a child’s arm, is a standout for slathering on tiny tots. New Heights Naturals, Prep Cosmetics, Sweat Cosmetics

5. REFINED PRODUCT SETS AND BUNDLES

It’s never too early to think about Christmas gift sets, or bundled introductions to hero products. Cotarde assists weary travelers seeking efficacious skincare with the Take It Light Set—five .1-oz sizes of its DayDream Mousse Cream and Face With A View concentrated cream. Kylie Cosmetics made Lip Kits famous, but the brand didn’t make them natural. Earth Based Body has gone the clean beauty route with its vegan versions of mouthy sets containing lip masks, lip repair balms and lip tints. Skinkick urges customers to use both its natural products—Face Wash and Blemish Lotion—and assembles them together in a 2-Step Kick Blemish Relief Kit. Cotarde, Earth Based Body, Skinkick

6. SOUPED-UP TONERS

4. SUNSCREEN SENSATIONS

Brands are whipping out sunscreens from powders to glosses to give customers options for warding off harmful rays. Sweat Cosmetics fashioned its Mineral Foundation SPF 30 + Twist-Brush for the woman on the go, with a quick brush application and a mineral foundation formula that serves as makeup, skincare and sun-protection. Prep Cosmetics’ SPF 15 Lip Gloss gloss boasts 11% zinc oxide, a subtle pink hue and hint of mint. New Heights Naturals

K-beauty brands emphasize the step before serum. Now, brands of all origins are zeroing in on preserum primping with pumped-up versions of toners. On its box, Woodlot’s new toner is titled Nourishing Facial Toner, but brand co-

Show Report founder Sonia Chhinji describes the product as a toner serum; hyaluronic acid gives the formula a thicker texture and heightens the hydration factor. Scandinavian-inspired brand Scandic Beauty relies on heavy water, or deuterium oxide, which has a high amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, to deliver skin nutrition with its Ren/Pure Pre-Serum. Aura Amplification Mist puts a new spin on multipurpose products. “It is a facial toner and energy cleaner/amplifier all in one,” says Shaffali Skincare founder Shaffali Miglani. Scandic Beauty, Shaffali Skincare, Woodlot

7. UNIQUE AND LUSCIOUS LIP PRODUCTS

There were marvelous lipsticks aplenty at IBE Dallas, but the following lip products have unique ingredients, encasings or purposes. Never go digging for lip balm in your purse again with Lilu Lip Care’s lip balm necklaces with a patented silicone application mechanism that holds lip balm inside fine jewelry pendants. Holistic Hemp Co.’s lip treatment with rosehip, geranium, sandalwood and CBD-loaded hemp extract raises the bar beyond chapstick, while Ari Rose’s feminine care oil My Little Secret, formulated with vaginal pH in mind while combatting ingrown hairs in the bikini area, was a buyer hit at the expo. Ari Rose, Holistic Hemp Co., Lilu Lip Care

8. THE CARIBBEAN BEAUTY BEAT

It makes sense that one of the most beautiful regions on earth would become the next hotbed of beauty brand incubation. An aloe specialist from Curaçao, Curaloe does aloe differently. Instead of mixing aloe vera powder with water, Curaloe used aloe vera gel straight from the plant to infuse the purest form of aloe into its products. Haitian skin and hair care brand Onaturell uses local plantbased ingredients to produce clean and creative beauty and wellness products such as its bestselling Shea Mango Butter Cream for the hair and scalp. Curaloe, Onaturell

9. PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF SKINCARE PATCHES

Now that celebrities are walking the streets shamelessly sheetmasked, we mere mortals are starting to get a pass on the practice as well. Created by celebrity esthetician Lejla Cas, Knesko Skin’s chakra-activating Nano Gold Repair Collagen Eye Masks and Diamond Radiance Collagen Eye Masks elevate under-eye collagen masks from banal to blinged-out. For those who are botoxneedle-shy, Frownies can non-invasively iron out facial wrinkles; the patches should be left on for several hours, ideally overnight. Frownies, Knesko Skin

10. REFORMATTED FRAGRANCE

When it comes to fragrance, spray is so passé. IBE Dallas brands delivered scent for body, hair and home in atypical yet effective formats. Lifestyle fragrance brand Indaia specializes in scented discs for rooms, small spaces,

Imbued with Lovinah Skincare’s signature scent, Goddess Glow Shimmering Body Oil is infused with vitamins, nutrients, and mica to leave skin hydrated, shimmering and smelling delicious enough to eat. Flora Remedia, Indaia, Lovinah Skincare

Groh created an oil-free scalp serum enriched with natural antioxidant ergothioneine, derived from mushrooms to nourish hair follicle cells. Cleo & Coco, Elvis+Elvin, Groh

12. NEW APPLICATION METHODS

As brands innovate, many find that traditional application methods feel insufficient and staid. Ellie Trinh created her patent-pending, preservative-free Skin Probiotics brand with beneficial live bacteria. To protect the probiotics, they come in their own bottle and are mixed with the brand’s serum immediately before application. U.K.-based Emma Hardie has developed a product application and removal method dubbed ‘lines not circles’ because it maintains that using short, downward strokes with the natural grain of facial tissues is better than the conventional advice to rub in circles. Shunri MacQuarrie developed a “skincare map” to allow Shunly Skincare users to apply the brand’s collection of targeted treatments exactly where they’re needed instead of slathering one serum over your entire face. Emma Hardie, Shunly Skincare, Skin Probiotics

11. SCALP TREATMENT SPOTLIGHT

Top of head treatments were top of mind at IBE Dallas with brands bringing new-style scalp solutions for myriad skin and hair issues. Elvis+Elvin’s Sea Salt Scalp Purifying Anti-Dandruff Shampoo gives hair and scalp a thorough and therapeutic cleanse and exfoliation without soapy bubbles. Cleo & Coco’s talc-free Dusting Powder Dry Shampoo is powered by a blend of vegetable powders, activated charcoal, bentonite clay and essential oils to absorb odor-causing toxins, bacteria and wetness from your scalp…and your body.

18.21 MAN MADE The 18.21 Man Made barrel house is owned and operated by three hardworking gentlemen with a passion for making premium grooming goods that the society of Men will take pride in owning. Along their journey, the founders noticed that the landscape of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grooming goods had become somewhat mundane and all shared similar characteristics. They became inspired by the spirit of prohibition era bootlegging and began to bootleg their own meticulous grooming mixtures. The 18.21 Man Made namesake is an homage to the 18th amendment which started Prohibition and was later repealed by the 21st amendment. Each uncommon mixture in their reserve is infused with goodwill and is guaranteed to elevate a gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grooming experience. It has been said that four common cents are worth more than one wooden nickel. Don't take any wooden nickels. Choose 18.21 Man Made. 1821manmade.com

L ILU L IP C A R E LiLu Lip Care launched in April 2018 and is built on three principles: 1.

If your lip care isn't with you, you can't use it. Lip Care should be conveniently packaged for uninterrupted access to hydration and color/sheen.

Lip care should do more than beautify. Lip care should improve lip health by using natural and organic ingredients and providing integrated exfoliation.

The amount of plastic in lip-care packaging needs to decrease. LiLu's re-fillable products use a newlypatented innovation LILU LIP BALM PEARLS™, to achieve this. LIP BALM PEARLS™ are made from soft silicone and hold enough lip balm for 50-75 uses. In addition, LIP BALM PEARLS™ provide exfoliating fingers that are exposed as the lip balm is depleted. A "Send Back To Recycle" program is in development to reward consumers for returning balm pearls.

So fuelled by her desire to bring pure beauty products to Haiti, Christelle moved back in 2013 and the Onaturell brand was born.
