TFWA announces TFWA 365 TFWA announces new digital platform and strong events programme aiming to support travel retail industry recovery

The TFWA Board has outlined plans for a number of new initiatives aiming to provide the duty free and travel retail industry with the vital platforms and

resources it needs, as the Association announced further support for the industry through its upcoming trade events and new digital platform. At a press conference earlier today, Singh and the TFWA Board thanked its permanent staff and Management Committee for their hard work and resilience during this difficult time. They went on to explain how the new decisions being made were taken with the entire industry at front of mind, and with acknowledgement of TFWA’s central philosophy of ‘by the trade for the trade’. During the conference, the creation of a new online platform called TFWA 365 was announced. This will be launched at the TFWA Asia Pacific Hainan Special Edition digital event held from 21st to 24th June. TFWA 365 is a permanent resource that will provide year-round support and a range of services for TFWA members and industry partners.

A strong programme for Tax Free Asia Pacific Hainan Special Edition TFWA also announced a strong programme for the TFWA Asia Pacific Hainan Special Edition online conference and workshops, including high-level panel discussions featuring the world’s leading retailers and travel associations. Detailed plans for the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference have yet to be finalised, and a number of contingency measures are in place to meet the requirements of rapidly changing circumstances. However, the Board stressed the considerable demand and desire for a physical event, and the importance of the personal relationships that are the bedrock on which the industry is founded. It assured that whatever the format of that event will be, the Association will step up and make every effort to provide the platform the industry so desperately requires. Among the new offers will be a Hosted Buyers Programme, which will give delegates an unrivalled opportunity to engage with key contacts, essential to the success of any virtual or live trade event.

EVENTS

COSMOPROF ASIA The 25th edition of Cosmoprof Asia will be held from 17 to 19 November 2021 one venue: hybrid format

With around 2,000 exhibitors from international markets anticipated, Cosmopack and Cosmoprof Asia 2021 will, for this year only, be held under one roof at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre(HKCEC). This one-time consolidation of both events will feature a hybrid format, running a parallel digital platform available for all stakeholders unable to travel to Hong Kong. The digital tools will allow for online connection between all companies and professionals visiting the fair district, therefore optimising new business opportunities and enhancing the capacity for global networking. BolognaFiere and Informa Markets, the exhibition organisers, are proud to transform the iconic fair as it celebrates its quarter century into a truly inclusive and global event by pivoting to the new hybrid format. In addition, consolidating Cosmopack and Cosmoprof Asia (typically held at Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE)), under the single roof of HKCEC means in-person buyers will maximize their time by sourcing from 13 product sectors all in one venue. Product sectors include Cosmoprof Asia’s finished products categories of Cosmetics & Toiletries, Beauty Salon, Nails, Natural & Organic, Hair and the new areas “Clean and Hygiene” and “Beauty & Retail Tech”. Meanwhile, Cosmopack Asia will host suppliers from Ingredients & Lab, Contract Manufacturing, Primary & Secondary Packaging, Prestige Pack & OEM, Print & Label, Machinery & Equipment.

Capturing Asia-Pacific’s beauty market

Cosmoprof Asia has long been a vital industry benchmark for stakeholders worldwide interested in developments in the Asia-Pacific. Asia-Pacific is the second largest beauty market in the world after Europe, and it was the first region to restart after the pandemic breakdown, as highlighted recently by the latest annual report by McKinsey & Company. Being held in Hong Kong, the perfect business hub and an international finance centre, the exhibition is the “gateway” for the main markets in the region. In China, a unique example globally, beauty sales increased in the first half of 2020 thanks to Chinese consumers spending more on the domestic market. Generally speaking, China’s economy is projected to grow by 8 to 10% between 2019 and 2021; at the same time, the remarkable development of e-commerce in South-East Asia – above all Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines – is expected to offer fresh new opportunities to international players. Cosmoprof Asia is more than ever one of the fundamental meeting events for the Cosmoprof international community this year, thanks to its hybrid format,” declared Antonio Bruzzone, General Manager of BolognaFiere and Director of Cosmoprof Asia. “We are focusing on offering seamless digital connections for virtual attendees while guaranteeing total safety for in-person visitors keen to experience Cosmoprof Asia “as normal”. Opening up the exhibition to an even wider global audience enhances the business opportunities and networking capacity for all. Cosmoprof Asia 2021 makes it easy for global beauty industry players to focus their investment in Asia-Pacific, where the strongest driving economies in the world are currently located.” “We look forward to delivering an even better Cosmoprof Asia in 2021, with the hybrid format opening up the event to an unprecedented audience worldwide, thanks to the combination of digital and face-to-face visitors. We are proud to be pivoting to this exciting new format while celebrating the momentous 25th anniversary of Cosmoprof Asia,” said David Bondi, Senior Vice President – Asia of Informa Markets and Director of Cosmoprof Asia Ltd. “At the same time, we are excited to share our year-round, on-going calendar of digital opportunities designed to maximise the engagement of global buyers and suppliers. We look forward to greeting you all, online and in-person, at Cosmoprof Asia 2021.”

TRANSVITAL

New regenerating treatments for renewed and vital skin New Regenerating Treatments In a preventive treatment, a normal cosmetic would improve the appearance of your skin’s surface. The Regenerating Line has a different principle: to regenerate cells and stimulate them so that they live longer. In other words, to contrast the natural

ageing process by generating new and more vital skin. Thanks to the very high technological content of the Swiss formula, the active ingredients in the range interact directly with the cells. The face finds what it has lost; it appears different when wakening, regenerated. As if its youth has been prolonged.

LAUNCH

The results CELLULAR REGENERATION: +27% in fibroblasts, shown with immunofluorescence tests. CELLULAR LONGEVITY: the tests show an increase in the longevity of keratinocytes and fibroblasts of 17% and 10%. CELLULAR DNA PROTECTION: -21% in damage caused to the cellular DNA from exposure to UVB and UVA rays. SMOOTHING OF WRINKLES: forehead lines treated with hyaluronic acid micro-spheres filled by +77% and smoothed out with a depth reduction of -54%.

The eyes light up with the future

At the base of the line is the Skin Regenerating Complex, an exclusive Transvital complex with rejuvenating and anti-ageing effects. It contains a combination of plant extracts, consisting of tannins, soy lecithin, plant orsirtine peptides, hyaluronic acid microspheres, gold and platinum. The other fundamental active ingredient is Matrixyl

3000®, a peptide in the family of matrichines, which are peptide fragments, messengers of the natural tissue repair process. It stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, to reconstitute the skin’s extracellular matrix and stimulate the synthesis of collagens, fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans.

Regenerating eye A precious treatment for the eye contour, it stimulates skin regeneration and prolongs cell longevity in the delicate eye area. It has highly energising, moisturising properties.

Swiss research agency m1nd-set demonstrates in a special China-focused study on both traffic and shopper insights that, in light of consumer confidence, shopper behavioural changes and the Chinese consumer’s relentless desire to travel, 2021 will mark the beginning of a robust return to growth for the travel retail sector in China. According to m1nd-set’s Business 1ntelligence Service (B1S) traffic and shopper insights data tool, China will see an increase of more than 200% in

international departures in 2021, to reach circa 30 million international departures. Pre-Covid levels are expected to return by 2023, when outbound traffic is forecast to reach 88 million following 108% growth in 2022 and 44% in 2023. The growth forecasts come despite travel restrictions imposed ahead of the Chinese New Year holiday, which saw 28 million Chinese consumers in lockdown following a renewed outbreak of the Covid pandemic in the northern Heilongjiang and Hebei provinces.

Tailwinds and turbulence in China’s pandemic recovery Despite renewed travel restrictions imposed during the lunar new year period, there is every reason to be confident about travel retail 2021 growth prospects in China, according to the latest m1nd-set research on the Chinese market

REPORT

m1nd-set’s China market research also details the profile of the Chinese traveller, the impact of the pandemic on their daily life, and in particular the impact on their travel behaviour. According to m1ndset, improved testing and containment measures, accompanied by the arrival of the vaccine, the latest outbreak is not expected to generate as significant a blow as when the pandemic first erupted over 12 months ago. Traveller behavioural trends have changed considerably in China since the outbreak of the pandemic, and Chinese travellers are now paying significantly greater attention to health and safety measures, practicing greater hygiene when travelling, m1nd-set reports. The impact of the Covid-19 vaccine and how it will affect the Chinese traveller’s desire to travel and their planned shopping behaviour is also analysed in the research. More than half (53%) of Chinese travellers interviewed said their household income was negatively impacted as a result of the pandemic, moderately lower than the global average of 55%, with a drop of between 5% and 20% compared to pre-Covid levels in China. In terms of international travel uptake, one third of Chinese travellers said they would travel again not immediately, but within the first 6 months after restrictions are lifted. The Covid-19 vaccine will inevitably have a highly positive impact in China as 97% of Chinese travellers are willing to receive the vaccine, the majority of whom said they would prefer to get vaccinated as ear as possible. The Chinese are more likely to consider travelling again if they have received the vaccine

compared to global travellers (39% vs 31%). When they do eventually travel internationally, the research reveals both positive tendencies and challenges. While 80% of travellers who usually visit the Duty Free store would still do so on future international trips, which is higher than the global average at 73%, two-thirds of Chinese travellers said they will spend less time at the airport compared to before. Around 27% will also spend less time inside shops, and more than half will try to isolate themselves from crowds, more so than the average traveller across all world regions. m1nd-set Travel Retail Research Director Clara Susset commented: “Communication is key to post-Covid recovery in China. The industry will need to work collectively to restore traveller confidence and entice them back into the stores. It will be essential to provide easy access to clear information about health and safety measures at the airport and potential delays throughout the airport journey due to modified security measures and procedures.” “Chinese travellers express a clear preference – and a greater tendency than global travellers – for digital technology such as QR Codes, Susset continued, “as a means to learn more about products and brands in the Duty Free shops, search for specific products and check prices before purchasing. The research reveals a number of new such trends and provides recommendations on how to approach this all-important market to ensure the travel retail sector is able to benefit from the Chinese recovery as best possible.”

Thanks to its different geographical features (mountains, gently rolling hills and a coastline), there are many microclimates which is the reason for the wealth and biodiversity of the land.

The packaging selected for Tindora is the “airless” system, designed to preserve the products from polluting agents and oxidation, in elegant white, decorated by a single pistil of the precious saffron with gold details.

To understand how Tindora comes into being, we have to make an ideal journey to the beautiful land of Abruzzo, where the generous nature also speaks of the character of its people, who are proud and with a fighting spirit. Fiorella Bafile comes from here and decided to start a business initiative using a precious local ingredient: saffron from Navelli. This decision is part of a project to hand down to the new generation the skill of producing saffron, including investments and economic help from the company itself, and to perpetuate the tradition of this cultivation. With the cosmetic line of Tindora – and its name is full of music and sounds like magic – the company is engaged in concretely supporting the cooperative that grows the precious spice which, thanks to the characteristics of the soil, grows full of active substances that allow stating that the saffron from Navelli is one of the most appreciated in the world.

FRAGRANS IN FABULA

A NEW NAME FOR THE RETAIL WORLD OF CALE’

Calé, a name synonymous with artistic perfumery, has decided to inaugurate 2021 with an important change in the world of retail. Its store in central Milan, in Corso Magenta 22, is changing its name from Pérfume by Calé to Fragrans in fabula. This change is part of an extensive corporate rebranding operation , which has also included the creation of a new e-commerce website and the renewal of the social channels of the boutique.

Along with the change of name of the boutique, Fragrans in fabula is also an e-commerce website, where it is possible to find information on the wide range of products on sale in the boutique and buy them directly online.

Fragrans in fabula has been created for precisely this reason. In two words, the name tells us all the beauty that a fragrance – fragrans – has to have to be able to teletransport the wearer to a fairytale elsewhere – fabula – through the power of smell. Whether it is a fragrance for personal use or for the home or a product for shaving or for personal care. With 65 years of experience in the sector, Fragrans in fabula offers clients the best anthology of Italian and international artistic perfumery brands as well as some exclusive services in the boutique in Corso Magenta 22, in the heart of old Milan. The services offered include the NOSE olfactory test that Fragrans in fabula offers exclusively for Italy to outline an individual’s olfactory

Silvio Levi, the CEO of Calé, has chosen the new name for a specific reason, as he says: “2020 was a great challenge for us, but one which has spurred us on to do more and to do it better to achieve our projects.

BRUNO ACAMPORA

THE OLFACTORY JOURNEY CONTINUES

Bruno Acampora Profumi has been synonymous with Italian hand crafted high quality perfumery for over forty years, when it was founded by the Italian gentleman and traveller Bruno Acampora. Its history has direct links with Italian prêt-à-porter high fashion and Pop art.

Red, which Miguel Matos then formulated. It is an essence which majestically combines the citrus notes of a fresh scent from the Mediterranean with the darker and intense shades of lands furrowed by rampant horses, creating a powerful harmony where the human and the divine meet. The notes of Orange, Lemon, Cinnamon and Cloves, Jasmine, Carnation and Lily, Peru Balsam, Vanilla, Oakmoss and Civet come together, leaving nothing to chance, where carnality, sensuality and love merge into a unique olfactory experience.

THE CURTAIN RISES AGAIN ON PRIMA BY

CARTHUSIA The Capri perfume brand pays tribute to the world of the theatre

A premiere at the theatre creates a unique atmosphere of expectation, excitement, passion and euphoria with an imperceptible charm. Due to the current situation with all theatres closed, this very special moment is something that many people miss. It is an occasion for the return of Prima, originally launched in 2012. Carthusia pays tribute to the world of the theatre, inspired by a great Neapolitan institution, the San Carlo Theatre in Naples, an international synonym of excellence, with this unique and inimitable composition of woody notes that has all the energy of a great opera.

Prima is an exclusive, personal and distinctive fragrance. Its lively bouquet of Bergamot, Mint, Rose, together with oil of oud, evokes shiny worn wood and fine fabrics; theatre-lovers will be able to discover a new sense with which to experience their emotions, just as though they were seated in the audience. The opening, with top notes of Mint, Bergamot and Mandarin, is fresh, while the base notes release an oriental and amber-infused melody. In a crescendo the solo of Cedar and precious woods arrives from the heart notes, which diffuses the scent of those noble velvets and old wood, amongst which, for centuries, genius, art and beauty, the essence of the San Carlo, have lived for centuries. The packaging of the fragrance, made by hand with all the care of great craftsmanship, like the fragrance itself, has the perfume of history with red velvet on gold-coloured hot printing. The result is artistic alchemy and a contemporary vision, a hymn to uniqueness. The fragrance has an exceptional testimonial, the famous soprano Carmen Giannattasio. She has known the world of Carthusia since she sang in “La Traviata” at the San Carlo Theatre in 2012, on the original launch of the fragrance. Since then she has become a sort of ambassador of the brand. She is currently in Sydney, Australia, performing in “Tosca”.

The year of happy beauty Happiness was low on the radar in 2020 but as we slowly start to emerge into a post-pandemic world consumers will be looking for solutions to boost them both physically, and mentally. According to Pinterest Predicts Report 2021* this year is predicted to be the year of ‘Emo Beauty’. Linking our emotional wellbeing with our skin, hair and body health, emotional beauty bridges the mind-beauty gap to simultaneously address how we look, and how we feel.

Our emotions and our physical appearance go hand in hand; on a very minor scale “when someone is stressed it comes out straight onto the skin and causes all skin conditions to get worse and the skin to dry out, become spotty or generally look dull” says Margo Marrone, Founder of The Organic Pharmacy. Put simply, when our mind is unhappy we don’t look our best.

POR

The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has created mass disruption for consumers’ emotional wellbeing. This has not only manifested itself in our physical appearance but it has signalled a shift in both beauty perceptions and beauty routines. For the beauty industry this means developing strategies, and products, that support physical and mental wellbeing, and providing beauty routines that not only make consumers look good, but make them feel good too. Living through a pandemic has understandably altered consumers’ emotional wellbeing, with 3 in 10 people reporting they are more aware of their mental health needs, revealed recent Mintel research. But it isn’t just our minds that have taken the hit, our physical appearance is suffering too. “The emotional impact of the pandemic, extended periods of working from home and the burden of an uncertain future has resulted in anxiety, declining skin health and premature ageing. This has been referred to as ‘Covid face’– and refers to the visible appearance of stress on the skin.” says Abi Buller, foresight writer at strategic foresight consultancy, The Future Laboratory. “Since Covid-19 and lockdown periods, people have been focusing more on overall skin health – especially as a result of zoom fatigue and an increased awareness of their appearance. Incorporating brightening, moisturising and blue light-blocking products into routines is something that is continually on the rise as people look to revive and rejuvenate their skin”, notes Buller.

Enter, ‘mindful beauty’. The Oxford Dictionary defines mindfulness as ‘a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique’ and indeed it’s a practice which could prove particularly beneficial given the current chaotic state of the world; a study published in November 2016 in the British Journal of Dermatology found that people who practice more mindfulness experience less distress and a better quality of life than those who do not. Crucially though, incorporating mindfulness into our daily routines has been shown to affect skin positively with as study in the Journal of Behavioural Medicine, June 2018, showing that the practice can help improve wound healing within the first few days, while the National Psoriasis Foundation discovered that mindfulness has been shown to improve symptoms in psoriasis.

While ‘Covid face’ is of course a new phenomenon the idea that our skin can reveal how we are feeling on the inside belongs to an emerging field of thought known as psychodermatology. The skin and brain are grown from the same embryonic layer in the womb and linked by a gut-brain-skin axis, psychodermatology “acknowledges this connection, treating skin diseases using a holistic approach, aware of the impact a skin disease can have on someone’s psyche, and vice versa”, says neuroscientist and Aromatherapy Associates Spokesperson, Dr Tara Swart. When we are stressed our “wound healing slows, oil glands go into overdrive, and inflammation takes off” explains dermatologist, psychiatrist and author of The Mind-Beauty Connection Amy Wechsler. Essentially, if brands can tap into consumers emotionally they can trigger a response aesthetically. *Pinterest Internal Search Data, Global, comparing searches from Oct 2018 - Sep 2019 vs searches from Oct 2019 – Sep 2020

The demand for mindful beauty is high with 69% of people** planning to dedicate more time to selfcare in 2021 than they did in 2021. Brands are already beginning to capitalise on this cultural need for moodboosting beauty; between March-July 2020 Skin & Tonic sold 35,000 pots of their ‘Calm Balm’ thanks to its promise of melting away makeup and stress. While CBD supplement brand, Mindful Extracts offers mindful practices which are designed to balance the body and calm the mind. By combining traditional products and services with practices such as mindfulness, meditation and deep breathing, beauty products and routines can offer everyday skincare and wellbeing solutions that simultaneously calm the mind and the skin. Consumers are thinking so much more about their physical and emotional wellbeing since the pandemic and self-care has become a vital ingredient to maintain our physical and mental health. In a recent study 67%** of people agreed that self-care routines they developed during the pandemic have become a permanent part of their life. “Elevating our mental and physical wellbeing by carving out time for our self-care keeps our inner resources strong and happiness levels high” says Aromatherapy Associates Education and Wellbeing Director, Christina Salcedas. The physical act of hair brushing, body brushing or moisturising is linked to repetitive motions which promote a state of calm but not only does self-care provide a moment of mindfulness it also creates a sense of control over our routine - something which many of us have been forced to concede thanks to Covid-19.

In fact, it has been found that people with more consistent routines are likely to be happier and suffer less from mood problems and loneliness***. Plus, a consistent beauty routine gives us something to look forward to; regularly treating yourself to proper love and attention can trigger a rush of chemicals to the brain which will boost your mood. So while we may not feel like we can be the masters of our destiny at the moment, with a little help from our beauty routines we can certainly be the masters of our emotional wellbeing. It’s not just skincare brands that can leverage the link between emotional wellbeing and beauty.

** Study carried out strategic foresight consultancy, The Future Laboratory 2020 *** The Lancet Psychiatry, June 2018

Scents that are proven to reduce stress and improve mood can, and should, be incorporated into skin, hair and body products in order to play within the ‘happy beauty’ space. “Linked to the area of the brain governing instinct, memory and emotion, our sense of smell is the most evocative and primitive of our senses. Through these scent pathways, essential oils can have a dynamic effect on our emotional state. They help transform our moods, moving us away from one state of mind another”, notes Salcedas. Indeed Aromatherapy Associates have developed a range of products which utilise all of your senses to elicit an emotional change through the power of essential oils while Disciple’s adaptogen-rich oils are formulated to help the mind and body deal with internal stress. Fragrance houses are also turning to ingredients to calm the mind. Perfumer Maurice Roucel has created ‘Matcha Meditation’ for Maison Margiela which “reduces stress levels and promotes serenity. It allows you to focus.”. A focus improving spritz is something we could all do with whilst working from home for the 400th day.

POR

As we look towards the future beauty brands will need to ‘behave like health and wellness brands’ says WGSN’s Director of Beauty, Jenni Middleton, they will need to not only provide aesthetic benefits but improve a consumer’s mental state too. This can be achieved by combining traditional R&D with a more therapeutic philosophy, look to brands that practice internal and external wellness such as The Organic Pharmacy and Oio Lab who select clinically-proven active ingredients to make you glow from the inside out. Indeed it is this holistic, inside out, approach which ultimately results in both a happy mind and happy skin. Because it’s true what Roald Dahl said ‘if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely’.

Faced with a global health crisis and economic meltdown, the personal luxury products market has faced some significant shifts. The ability to adapt to the challenging environment has seen segments like beauty account for a significant share. Data presented by Fraîcheur Paris indicates that beauty products accounted for 22% of the 2020 global personal luxury goods market. The products ranked second highest after accessories that accounted for 36%. Hard luxury had a share of 21% tying with apparel. The research also explored the 2020 global luxury market, which totaled to about €1 trillion. Luxury cars accounted for half of the entire market share at €503 billion to occupy the top spot, followed by personal luxury goods at €217 billion.

The market share of personal luxury goods in 2020 was heavily impacted by the coronavirus pandemic like many other sectors. The market size even recorded the biggest drop in a decade as changes to the consumer mindset forced many to spend more time at home while minimizing non-essential items. There was also reduced air travel, a greater focus on family and self-care. The wide-scale lockdowns contributed to the contraction of the market size as the situation impacted consumer confidence. Some consumers saw no sense in spending more on luxury goods since there was little opportunity to use the products owing to restricted global traveling. Beauty products were able to account for a significant share of the luxury products thanks to a change in consumer behavior. Many brands adapted by scaling up online sales to offset the decline from in-store sales. Notably, the e-commerce sector skyrocketed during the pandemic, with many retailers taking advantage.

In general, beauty habits change when the consumer is at home. With the working culture spreading, for example, women find it not necessary to put on makeup. Before the 2020 drop, the personal luxury market was rising

Road to recovery for personal luxury products In the path to recovery, the global luxury market is influenced by a combination of factors like economic trends, consumer confidence, tourism flows, and the ability to lead brands to anticipate and meet consumer needs. Furthermore, the recovery is already being seen in regions like China. Despite emerging as the epicenter of the health crisis, China has witnessed a revival of the luxury market after lifting measures to contain the pandemic. Among the leading luxury goods markets, China had earlier resorted to months of store closures, social distancing, and disrupted personal and professional habits. Consumers will likely be willing to make purchases not made during the lockdown.

mainly due to improving consumer living standards supported by their increasing disposable income levels. Furthermore, the high prevalence of western fashion trends catalyzed luxury product demand. The growing tourism sector was also driving the market growth. However, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe in early 2020 reversed most sector gains. Despite recording impressive gains before the pandemic, beauty products and other luxury goods have also been facing a rough patch. Recently, trade wars, increased global economic uncertainty, and shifts in consumer behavior and values have contributed to major shifts across the luxury goods landscape.

The subscription box economy:

Can beauty’s biggest comeback story retain its success post-pandemic?

Dubbed the most talked about trend of 2020 by Reddit UK, subscription boxes truly went boom in the year that most of the world went bust. Beauty box big hitters Birchbox saw a 150% increase in sales compared to 2019, E-commerce platform allsubscriptionboxes.co.uk reported it had received 173% more visitors in 2020 compared to the previous year and the Royal Mail reported that 15% of UK adults had ordered a subscription box since lockdown to ‘cheer themselves up through regular purchases’. The catalyst to these astronomical sales figures for a category that was, until recently, on the brink of collapse was, of course, a global lockdown. But as retail begins to open up and the need for letter box gifts wanes will subscription services be able to maintain momentum or will they be boxed up and left in the pandemic past?

Birchbox

Subscription boxes first hit the market more than 10 years ago and in that relatively short space of time the category has enjoyed both major successors and suffered extreme losses. In 2017, Royal Mail predicted that the subscription service category would hit £1bn in the UK by 2022, a 77% increase from 2017 but fast forward just two years and the category was on the down-turn. Pre- pandemic subscription services were suffering as a result of peak saturation within the beauty market, Birchbox cut 25% of its global staff, and FabFitFun around 18%. Sensitivity to market trends is the making or breaking of this unique category and the arrival of a global pandemic proved it to be the former as the subscription box formula of convenience, value for money plus the novelty of new products proved a hit with consumers’ new found dedication to self-care, and caring for others. Why though, is the subscription box so much more appealing to consumers when they are stuck at home? Alex Valbona, President of EU, Birchbox thinks the answer lies in a trend that Birchbox predicted back in 2012, that of cocooning. “Recent circumstances have forced us to find refuge in the home and seek an environment in which we feel truly comfortable, a bolthole from an outside world we find increasingly hectic, aggressive and unpredictable. We’ve spent years preparing ourselves, and the coronavirus pandemic has simply accentuated a trend we already saw coming in 2012: that of cocooning, the growing tendency to leave the home less and less, enjoying more and more experiences within its four walls.”. Aside from the human desire to create a safe and comforting space there are other factors which have exacerbated the subscription box acceleration. Firstly, there’s the convenience of delivery and the fact that the easy replenishment options offered by many subscription services means that consumers don’t have to forgo their favourite products. Additionally, “the boom in online shopping and the difficulties in trying out cosmetics in situ, due to safety and hygiene measures, meant that e-commerce can only go from strength to strength, both as a first option for discovering makeup, face, body and hair

care products and - as with our subscription model for trying them out in the safety of one’s own home, for later purchase” says Valbona. For many, the pandemic has encouraged them to make first time purchases of products they wouldn’t usually buy, Zalando, Europe’s largest fashion and lifestyle e-commerce marketplace, reported a boom in pampering and self-care beauty categories, including candles, aromatherapy, and detox products; sales of skin, nail, and hair-care products were up 300 percent, year on year*. As well as providing an opportunity for self-care, consumers also subscribed so that they could have something to look forward to that would break up the monotony of isolating. Royal Mail reported that 15% of UK adults had ordered a subscription box since lockdown to ‘cheer themselves up through regular purchases’. And, an increase in sending gifts was also a major contributor to subscription box sign ups, “people want to find original gifts that feel personalised for the individual. Lockdown has accelerated this trend with peaks such as Easter and Father’s Day seeing volumes almost double last year. They are easy to find online where people are browsing and looking for gift ideas” said DPD Chief Executive, Dwain McDonald. However, despite *ahem* unprecedented sales spikes over the past year, subscription services still have major barriers to overcome to both retain customers and to move the needle among nonparticipants. While there are more subscribers than last year consumer adoption remains relatively low, with only just over a third of consumers currently participating in at least one service noted a recent Mintel survey. Key stumbling blocks for subscription services to overcome include addressing negative perceptions about the value proposition and ‘contract’ terms with an out clause revealed the survey. The novelty factor of receiving new products is also something that can wear thin relatively quickly, “I think that the biggest ongoing challenge is the necessity to delight customers continuously every month with a new concept,” says Michael Maarek, founder of allsubscriptionboxes.co.uk, who says successful subscription-box brands tend to create a (virtual) community for subscribers and “build a brand proposition that goes beyond the contents of each box”.

Causebox

Although there are clear challenges for brands to contend with if they want to tick a consumers subscription service boxes there is still plenty of opportunity to become a key player within this unique sector. “Changes in people’s lifestyles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns have affected usage habits and led to major shifts in the types of beauty and personal care products consumers are buying. One of the big opportunities is for brands to focus on in- home beauty treatments and DIY kits that allow people to improve their skin and appearance within the comfort of their homes, whilst also catering to growing demand for self-care. There is scope to drive purchasing in the worst-hit categories such as fragrances through extensions with other categories such as personal care and household which have been less impacted by the pandemic” says Tamara Sender Ceron, Senior Consumer Analyst. Brands looking to opt in to the subscription model should be boosted by the fact that this offering is an easy way to provide regular product replenishment, convenience and sustainability. A subscription service enables brands to align themselves with key consumer values including sustainability, inclusivity and economic viability. Causebox is a lifestyle and wellness box that sustainably sources all its products locally or from artisans, putting a focus on transparency.

Meanwhile, the fragrance subscription service Scentbird gives consumers the opportunity to experience luxury fragrances before making an expensive commitment, thus appealing to both the value-driven and sustainably minded consumer, as it reduces the risk of a perfume going to waste. Annie Johnston, Beauty Analyst at trend forecasters WGSN recommends that “brands looking to launch into this growing category should design curated selection around sustainability, modern wellness and inclusivity.”. The nature of a replenishment model is at odds with the growing call from consumers for brands to limit waste. With this in mind brands must adopt innovative sustainable strategies to ensure their success; Beautiac for example is a makeup brush brand which has partnered with Terracycle to recycle old brush heads into ScentBird park benches. Collaborations and co-curations with other brands, influencers and industry experts is another way that brands can explore subscriptions services and get their products into the hands of a wider demographic. Allure regularly works with influencers to co-curate editions of its box, including Huda Kattan and Zoe Kravitz. These drove a 400% higher conversion than other months, said VP of marketing for Condé Nast Beauty. Consider partnerships beyond the beauty realm to entice a new audience or team up with a charity to enable your brand to join the political and social activism conversation. While the pandemic has created huge opportunities for the growth of subscription services brands will need to carefully consider how appealing subscriptions will continue to be as consumers emerge from the cocoons of their homes with a renewed sense of economic caution. Success can still very much be a possibility though, if brands are prepared to think outside the box.

EVENTS

MEADFA The Middle East and Africa Duty Free Association (MEADFA) held its first Advocacy webinar of 2021. Entitled ‘The Road to Recovery’, the webinar was dedicated to demonstrating how the industry in Africa and the Middle East can recover given the difficult situation it faces with the COVID-19 crisis. Over 160 participants attended the event from 28 countries. The webinar saw a variety of key industry players participating, sharing their perspectives on the situation. Hume Brophy Managing Partner and Founder John Hume moderated the event, while MEADFA Vice President, Sherif Toulan, gave the opening welcome address. Alan Murray Hayden, Head of Airline, Airport and Security Compliance and Operational Solutions at IATA presented the opportunities for the industry that is possible with the newly developed IATA Travel Pass. Mutual recognition of vaccination amongst countries will be critical to the restart of aviation globally, and the only way that this can be done properly is by harnessing the power of modern technology. IATA’s Travelpass is now being trialled by over 30 airlines worldwide, including Emirates, Qatar, Etihad and Gulf Air. Murray Hayden also suggested that this initiative may hasten the move towards document-free travel which will have immediate implications for the duty free industry for passenger destination verification. Rita Chidiac, MEADFA Advocacy Working Group Secretary General, presented progress from recent advocacy the industry has engaged in, as well as the main regulatory issues MEADFA needs to address. Rita Chidiac outlined the progress of MEADFA in terms of structuring its resources, including the working groups that have been created to share regulatory intelligence. Chidiac’s call to action is very clear: “All brands from all categories are encouraged to reach out to educate authorities about our unique operating model. A cross category approach is needed alongside an efficient way of sharing intelligence.” Sarah Branquinho, DFWC President, concluded the webinar with a presentation on the

outlines the road to recovery

WHO Protocol to eliminate the illicit trade in tobacco products. In a clear call to action to retailers and partners in the Middle East and Africa she pointed to the fact that over 40% of countries that have ratified the Illicit Trade Protocol come from this region; “The purpose of this Protocol is to stop the illicit trade of tobacco products. I fail to see why it is targeting law abiding responsible retailers and their airport and airline partners. We need to make this clear to our governments in the months ahead”. MEADFA Vice President Sherif Toulan stated that “the light at the end of the tunnel is near”. To ensure our industry has the best chances of recovery, MEADFA must act with its partners to ensure we can get back to normal as quickly as possible. There must be therefore increased cooperation between airports and airlines if this is to be achieved.

A SHARED PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE

LALIQUE GROUP and BRIONI The new Eau de Parfum from the renowned luxury brand Brioni is now available, as light and sophisticated as a Brioni bespoke suit. Although these two companies work in different sectors, their shared passion for excellence and prestige has given rise to a unique partnership. The Eau de Parfum is now available worldwide in Brioni boutiques and from selected points of sale.

high quality materials such as pink peppercorn, cedarwood, tonka bean and violet. He says that he “sought to glorify Brioni’s sophisticated allure and elegance. A creation with few ingredients, this perfume lends further refinement to the clothing. They are juxtaposed perfectly to create an authentic sillage which channels the savoirfaire of the Italian couture studio.”

This supreme alliance has given rise to a unique partnership between the fragrance company and the luxury brand Founded in Rome in 1945, Brioni is a legendary menswear luxury house. In addition to its state-ofthe-art bespoke service, Brioni offers exceptional quality in ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes and eyewear. The foundation of the house’s identity is its unique Italian sartorial heritage. Lalique Group is a niche player in the creation, development, marketing and global distribution of luxury goods, with its business areas comprising perfumes, cosmetics, crystal, jewellery, high-end furniture and lifestyle accessories. The group was created in Paris in 1888 by the master glassmaker and jewellery designer René Lalique. The fragrance was created by Michel Almairac, Master Perfumer at Robertet, using a short, perfectly tailored formula- precision-cut from

The bottle is made from heavy, navy blue Italian glass, with square shoulders and bevelled edges. It is decorated with a satin label, inspired by the labels sewn inside the bespoke suits by Brioni. The Austrianborn designer of the bottle, Norbert Stumpfl has this to say about the new product: “Brioni is about Italian flair – Roman flair – and craftsmanship; about luxury and effortless masculine elegance: nonchalant and understated, for people in the know. We’re not about fashion; Brioni is about style.” And the design of the new Brioni Eau de Parfum reflects this aesthetic stance.

FLASH/NEWS

MOLINARD PRESENTS OSMANTHUS,

A PERFUME FROM PARADISE

Osmanthus, the legendary flower whose name literally means “perfumed flower”, features in the new eau de parfum by Molinard. Defined by Japanese poets as the perfume of paradise for its intense aroma which inebriates the senses and even makes us doubtful as to its earthly origin. According to a Chinese legend, the Osmanhus grew in a lunar paradise and a divinity scattered some of its seeds on to Earth to root out the evil that was afflicting the human race. Its seeds and its distillate thus became a remedy to soothe human sufferings. Molinard’s new eau de pafum is an inebriating elixir that welcomes us into an enchanted garden with lively notes of bergamot and mandarin, to then open up to a heart of osmanthus where apricot prevails, underlining its fruity facets. Tuberose joins iris and white musks to seal this soft jus with a sensual touch. This divine fragrance invites us to a purifying peace of the senses.

The new packaging of Maison Molinard’s collection Les Elements has a violet bottle, with a sleek and simple shape, and copper details and cap, recalling distillation stills, the emblem of the ancestral expertise of the Maison Molinard.

the Magical Mushroom Company

announces large-scale production of its plastic-free packaging made from mushrooms

The Magical Mushroom Company (MMC), today announces the launch of large-scale production of its mushroom-derived biodegradable packaging, a plastic-free alternative that can be broken up to biodegrade on a home compost heap or flowerbed. Uniquely, this new packaging offers the same performance, at comparable cost, to traditional polystyrene, and is already being used to protect goods ranging from cookers, to cosmetics and a huge variety of everyday consumer products, including Diageo’s non-alcoholic gin brand, Seedlip. This extraordinary packaging is made possible through mycelium composite technology, pioneered and patented by US firm Ecovative Design LLC. The process takes the post-processing waste from agricultural products such as hemp, hops, corn and timber and combines them with mycelium – the root system of the mushroom. This living material is then grown to shape using 3D moulds of the packaging design. These moulds are baked, hardening the material and preventing any further growth. The full process, from design to prototype takes just 14 days. MMC Holding International LTD, trading as The Magical Mushroom Company, has the exclusive EU, UK and Ireland licence to produce Mushroom® Packaging. Its first facility, in Esher, Surrey, began production in August 2020 and has capacity to produce more than a million packaging units per year. The business will open a second UK plant in 2021, increasing total production to more than three million units per year. This will be followed by the opening of plants in Bulgaria and Italy, which together will

provide production capacity for the EU of more than six million units annually. A third continental European plant (in Germany) will open in 2022. With polystyrene causing immense environmental harm, a commercially viable and practical alternative is essential. Packaging produced by MMC is 100% biodegradable at home and breaks down in soil within 40 days. It also fully breaks down in water in just 180 days, meaning it has the long-term potential to significantly reduce the level of plastic waste in our oceans. MMC is already working with a number of iconic brands that are serious about reducing their environmental impact. Current clients include Lush Cosmetics, Raine Marine, Bodyshop, Seedlip (from the Diageo group) and luxury designer, Tom Dixon. Paul Gilligan, founder and CEO, commented: “We called ourselves the Magical Mushroom company for a reason. Mycelium’s unique qualities really are magical, enabling us to produce a hard-wearing, cost effective and totally sustainable alternative to polystyrene packaging that biodegrades in the back garden in under 40 days. “We’re thrilled to be open for business and excited by how quickly we’re scaling up our production and securing ever bigger contracts. Customer feedback has been universally positive and our earliest customers are all – without exception – now coming back for more.” “With over a decade of experience producing mycelium materials at scale, Ecovative is thrilled to see consumers and brands around the world adopt Mushroom® Packaging,” said Gavin McIntyre, co-founder and Director of Business Development at Ecovative Design. “We are excited to be working with Magical Mushroom Company to further scale this technology and look forward to providing more brands with this breakthrough packaging solution.”
