EDITORIAL LETTER by Jessica De Vault Hale

Lessons Learned There’s no doubt about it. This has been a tricky year. The global pandemic caught us off guard, finding many of us scrambling to find income during statewide lockdowns. But 2020 didn’t just come to put us all in a compromising financial position or to threaten the success of our business. Instead, I think this year has taught some valuable lessons.

Lesson #1: Be Prepared Being prepared may mean having a contingency in place for another potential lockdown. This could be as simple as having an online shopping option for your shoppers or setting money aside for a rainy day.

Lesson #2: Go With the Flow To have a fluidity in mindset requires a “go with the flow” attitude. You must be flexible in these trying times. Yes, many customers stopped coming to your store during the onset of the pandemic. But rather fight what you can’t control, focus more on alternative solutions. Discover new ways to engage with your customers when they can’t come to your business. Or meet your shoppers online. Meet them where they are. Going with the flow encourages you not to fight life’s challenges but to embrace its adventures instead.

Lesson #3: The Shoppers Will Return This year also taught us how quickly our customer base would migrate towards big-box retailers when the local beauty supply store isn’t open. But many will return to your store the minute they can because you’ll likely provide the widest variety of multicultural products for them to choose from. Remember, big-box chains aren’t stealing your shoppers forever. If you’re forced to close down again, just remember your customers will return.

Jessica De Vault Hale EDITOR

OTC Beauty Magazine December 2020

We can’t control what lies ahead, but we can certainly learn from this year and be better for 2021. As we ring in the New Year, be sure to keep these lessons in mind.

CLIPPER TIPS Sponsored by Andis Co.

Pro Shaving with the ProFoil from Andis® By Angel Raws, Andis Educator

The new Andis Copper ProFoil® Shaver is the perfect tool for both stylists and barbers of any skill level. Barbers will love it because there’s no messy creams or lathers involved to get that skin-smooth shave, and they can get clients in and out of the chair quicker. And for stylists, whose licensing may not allow straight razor shaves, the Copper ProFoil is the perfect substitute. Plus, the new metallic copper finish provides premium durability. Because of the versatility of its staggered, independent foil heads, it’s my go-to tool for tight areas such as above the moustache or right above the ear. And the octagonal gold titanium foils with hypoallergenic finish provide a better, irritation-free shaving experience. To get a true, smooth skin fade, use upward flicking c-stroke motions – this will ensure that no lines are left behind. Another great way to use this tool, and one of my personal favorites, is polishing waves. This technique is often overlooked due to lack of education, but once you master it, will provide striking results. When you finish cutting a nice set of waves with a taper or even with a bald fade, lightly skim the ProFoil shaver along the top of the waves with the grain, following the growth pattern of the hair. This technique will knock down any stray hairs left behind and give your wave cut a finished, polished look. Throughout the 80-minute run time, the lithium-ion battery provides constant power without reducing performance, so your clients won’t experience any uncomfortable tugging or pulling. And since the ProFoil is cord/cordless, you can plug it in and never have down time. Overall, the Andis Copper Profoil Shaver is user-friendly and gives you the ability to provide top-notch precision to your haircuts.

Angel Villegas, most commonly known as Angel Raws, has taken the barbering industry by storm, setting trends with his original barbering style and approach to branding. He merges the art of barbering, visual arts and Hip-Hop culture in a refined way to influence the cutting styles of those he educates. “I am able to teach others all over the U.S. and do what I love every day – working with the Andis Company gives me the freedom to share tools and products I truly believe in.” 48

THERAPY TRENDS Our Year of Diminishing Turns By Elayne McClaine

A global pandemic changes the way consumers meet, greet, work and shop. Sluggish retail sales started off the year. Since the beginning of 2020, we have been hidden and isolated. Mandatory social distancing and remote workforces are the order of the day. Don’t forget, socializing from home! Due to the era of electronic Zooming, it has been critical to look good from the waist up— especially the face. Spending money on makeup, skincare, and hair techniques are essential to keeping up appearances.

Consumers have also been distanced from their favorite brands and their access to those brands. The return to normalcy may come next year or in the coming years, but many buying patterns will remain forever. Our year of diminishing turns will result from challenged sourcing of products, eCommerce, and the doit-yourself/self-care phenomenon. While the beauty industry may be relatively stronger than other consumer categories, this will be one of the worst years in recent history for this niche.

This year will be the year known for realigning beauty routines and priorities. While consumers spent 50% less on professional beauty services, at-home self-care products remained stable. DIY hair coloring, nail care, and care in other beauty categories are being reimagined as a necessity. Nielsen reported rises in the sales of hair dye and hair clippers by 23 and 166 percent, respectively. The latest data suggest there will be a huge increase in eCommerce purchases from new or low-frequency users. And the vast majority of consumers who have increased their use of digital and multi-access services, such as home delivery, curbside pickup or shopping via social media platforms, expect to sustain these activities into the future. OTC owners must embrace all that has been lost in 2020 as a blueprint for the future.

Elayne McClaine has identified and developed emerging domestic and global trends in hair care, skincare and other consumer categories for such firms as Chesebrough-Pond’s, Revlon and Pharmacia (div. of Pfizer). Her expertise in therapeutic treatments for hair, skin and scalp led to the creation of the Women’s Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, sponsored by Rogaine. McClaine has been acknowledged by the American Academy of Dermatologists for marketing and promotional excellence.

INDUSTRY NEWS From innovative probiotic treatments to sustainable suncare: in-cosmetics Global unveils this year’s Award winners Winners of the Innovation Zone Best Ingredients Awards were announced on 6 October, as part of incosmetics Virtual 2020

07 October 2020: Celebrating the most cutting-edge personal

care ingredients, in-cosmetics Global is delighted to announce the winners in this year’s Innovation Zone and Green Ingredient Awards. Despite the challenges brought about by Covid-19, leading cosmetic manufacturers, including Mibelle Biochemistry, Cargill Beauty, Givaudan Active and Lucas Meyer, all put forward their most creative innovations for consideration across three categories – Best Active Ingredient, Best Functional Ingredient and Best Green Ingredient. Judged by some of the industry’s foremost experts, the awards are highly respected around the world and recognise the cosmetic ingredient manufacturers who are helping to push the boundaries of innovation, while responding to evolving consumer demands.

Vytrus Biotech take Gold and Silver for Best Active Ingredient

Scooping both the Gold and Silver awards in the Best Active Ingredient category, Vytrus Biotech was recognised for its KANNABIA SENSE and DEOBIOME NONI ingredients.

Described as ‘the microbiota whisperer’, KANNABIA SENSE took the top accolade, credited for its innovative probiotic treatment that stimulates the skin microbiota to produce an in-situ postbiotic cocktail that promotes the synthesis of cutaneous oxytocin. Recommended for use in sensitive skin treatments, anti-ageing cosmetic products and delicate facial treatments, it is made from plant stem cells of Cannabis sativa, a herbaceous plant indigenous to eastern Asia. Vytrus picked up the Silver award for DEOBIOME NONI, an innovative prebiotic deodorant treatment, that reduces the generation of body odour while allowing the skin to breathe and respecting the skin microbiota.

Closing the category, Mibelle Biochemistry and Clariant Active were announced as this year’s joint Bronze Award winners. Recognised for its Alpine Rose Active, Mibelle Biochemistry’s novel ‘senolytics’ concept was chosen for its ability to eliminate senescent skin cells and protect skin proteins from oxidative stress. Clariant Active was applauded for its rare and unique ingredient, Prenylium™. Thanks to Clariant’s Plant Milking technology, Prenylium is extracted from the root of the Morus Alba tree without causing any damage. This innovative and sustainable approach to sourcing helps to stimulate root growth and results in a concentration of prenylated flavonoids 2000% higher than what is typically found in mulberry root extracts. 52

Best Functional Ingredient Award celebrates sustainability and sun protection

German cosmetic manufacturer Symrise took the top award in the Best Functional Ingredient category for its Symrise SymEffect™ Sun. Based entirely on renewable raw materials from responsible sources, the newly developed ingredient combines the advantages of conventional sunscreen products with the increasing sustainability requirements of consumers. It pursues a 360º approach, offering a holistic way to meet the multiple challenges of sunscreen products. It stood out for its use of natural sources, the efficiency of its UV filters and formulation stability. Also demonstrating a sustainable approach to sun protection, Dow Chemical was awarded the Silver award for its SunSpheres™ BIO

SPF Booster, a bio-based and readily biodegradable SPF boost that enables greater SPF efficiency in suncare and daily skincare products.

The category also honoured two bronze award winners: Clariant and Gattefossé. The former was selected for VELSAN® FLEX which, thanks to its high water solubility and Renewable Carbon Index (RCI) of 93%, offers preservation boosting powers together with broad formulation flexibility. Gattefossé’s Emulium® Dolcea MB – a natural origin O/W emulsifier - has the ability to create a wider range of textures, from fluid serum to thick butter in a wide range of applications, such as skincare, suncare, make up and haircare.

Green Ingredient Award highlights natural ingredients and upcycling

As sustainability continues to drive cosmetic manufacturers to assess the ingredients used in their formulations, this year’s Green Ingredient Award – in partnership with Ecovia Intelligence – recognised the ingredients championing sustainability in the personal care and beauty market. Henry Lamotte Oils’ Paradise Nut Oil/Magdalena River Nut Oil scooped the Gold Award for its ability to support the regeneration of the skin’s lipid film, while improving the water retention capability of the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss.

Unveiled as the Silver Award winner, Cargill Beauty’s FiberDesign™ Sensation was praised for its approach to sustainability and upcycling. Derived from 100% natural origins, the texturiser and emulsion stabiliser, designed specifically for skincare, is based on citrus peel fibres from the pectin production side stream.

Joining an exciting line-up of award winners, Minasolve SAS scooped the Bronze Award for Best Green Ingredient for its A-Leen Aroma-3, a nature-derived perfuming agent that offers a broadspectrum antimicrobial effect. It is a 100% natural version of phenylpropanol produced from cassia essential oil.

INDUSTRY NEWS Andis® Company Partners With the Conscious Kid to Deliver Education on Healthy Racial Identity Through ‘Books to Barbershops’ Program STURTEVANT, WI (November 2020) –– Andis® Company, a global leader in professional barbering tools and education, has teamed up with The Conscious Kid to support barbershops across the U.S. to supply two award-winning children’s books that affirm healthy racial representations of Blackness and Black identity to barbershops free-ofcharge. Andis® Company, through the Andis Foundation, sees the importance of barbershops in supporting communities by building relationships, fostering communication and educating today’s youth. Through the powerful reach of barbershops, the #AndisBooksToBarbershops program is designed to counter anti-Blackness, support social equity and promote long-term change.

The first book in the set, Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut, written by Derrick Barnes and illustrated by Gordon C. James, serves as a highspirited, engaging salute to the beautiful, raw, assured humanity of Black boys and their self-perception when they approve of their reflections in the mirror. The second book, Hair Love, is tender and empowering. Written by Matthew A. Cherry and illustrated by Vashti Harrison, Hair Love

is an ode to loving your natural hair — and a celebration of fathers and daughters everywhere. “Barbershops are more than businesses. They serve as community hubs where customers discuss the state of their communities – and the world– building connections that last lifetimes,” said Laura Andis Bishop, Andis CoCEO. “With the #AndisBooksToBarbershops program, we are excited to support The Conscious Kid’s mission of driving forward a critical conversation educating and empowering children while supporting community barbershops across the nation.” Barbers can sign up to secure copies of these books for their business at https://www.theconsciouskid.org/andis. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, some barbershops may not be permitted to have books in their facilities. Please follow the recommended safety guidelines and protocols and use these books when it is safe to do so.

Novel in-cosmetics Virtual delivers new contacts, insights and Covid-era trends With face-to-face events across the globe still on hold, the incosmetics Group provided another unique opportunity for the personal care industry to continue learning and discussing new approaches to product development. Over three days in the first week of October, the first-ever in-cosmetics Virtual event brought together 3,062 personal care creators from 86 different countries, with the largest representation hailing from Brazil, the USA, France, the UK and Spain. Running from 09:00-21:00 UK time each day, in-cosmetics Virtual offered targeted meetings for formulators, buyers and suppliers from the European and Americas markets predominantly. The exclusive, free-to-attend business event matched 140-plus leading ingredient suppliers with manufacturers and indie brands from across the world. Visiting companies in attendance included the likes of Antonio Puig, Avon, Belcorp Colombia, Clarins, Caudalie, Colgate Palmolive, Coty, Estee Lauder, Grupo Boticario, Glossier, Henkel, L’Oréal, Johnson & Johnson, La Prairie, Natura, Oriflame, Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, Tata Harper and Unilever, amongst others – providing them with an invaluable way of networking and identifying novel concepts while travel is restricted. The value of in-cosmetics Virtual was undeniable, with attendees (exhibitors and visitors) rating the event’s quality of meetings as 4.53 out of 5. Kathryn Atkins, the co-founder of Kathryn Tilly, was one of those who joined the sessions. She commented: “in-cosmetics Virtual was fantastic! It was a very personable experience and I got to meet suppliers I didn’t even know existed in my field of natural skincare. I had 38 meetings over three days so you can imagine how intense it was, but everybody was highly engaged. I would give in-cosmetics Virtual a nine out of 10 and I would summarise my experience in one word: inspirational.” Celine Erkey, Lab Technician at Tata Harper added: “It all went very well. I really enjoyed the fact that the process to schedule meetings was very straightforward. I liked the fact that suppliers were able to reach out to you and be able to introduce their new actives. I was very busy, but I also made time for seminars and presentations on sustainability and these were very informative!”

winner. Joining an exciting line-up of award winners, Minasolve SAS scooped the Bronze Award for Best Green Ingredient. Learning during a pandemic As ever, in-cosmetics brought a diverse range of experts together to provide registered viewers with very well attended presentations during its renowned Marketing Trends and Technical Seminars. One of the most popular seminars over the three days was run by The NPD Group, which discussed where the next growth in prestige skincare trends is set to derive from. Attendees listened live to Ana Gonzalez explore how the current COVID-19 pandemic has affected the beauty retail category, before diving into the new normal. She talked about the emergence of ‘Clean-ical’ brands that are gaining greater prominence, with one in four consumers that look for natural ingredients also requesting information from a doctor/dermatologist. Ana concluded by looking at what the future holds for skincare, highlighting how revenge shopping will come to the fore around Black Friday in Europe and Cyber Monday in the US. Euromonitor International’s session on the changing landscape of beauty and personal care retailing was also immensely popular. Povilas Sugintas, Consultant – Beauty and Fashion, reviewed the performance of the sector during and after the outbreak of COVID-19. He highlighted the significant financial impact the virus has had on the industry, before reviewing the research consultancy’s latest predictions for different categories. He showed that the bath and shower sector is expected to outperform 2019, driven by liquid soap and sanitisers, while fragrance and colour cosmetics will be worse affected.

Finding the latest innovations With a large percentage of the world’s leading personal care ingredient suppliers joining in-cosmetics Virtual, including Cargill, Croda, Evonik, Kobo Products and Solvay, R&D professionals had the perfect opportunity to learn about trends before finding solutions and ideas for future product development.

INDUSTRY NEWS Continued of all attendees included botanicals, essential oils and plant extracts. This marks a significant increase in popularity compared to 2019, where it ranked as the 7th most popular product group at in-cosmetics Global and 12th at in-cosmetics Latin America. Other product categories of interest include biological, marine extracts and bio-fermentation. With microalgae climbing in popularity and being famed for producing compounds for chemical defence - plus the main draw of fermentation being the production of probiotics - which have been shown to have benefits for skin health, it’s in keeping with the need for protection and cocooning in the Covid era. Other trending beauty categories identified by attendees included ingredients to aid hydration and moisturization; anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle. Last year, at in-cosmetics Global and in-cosmetics Asia, emulsifiers were the number one product category of interest to visitors. It has now dropped to 5th at in-cosmetics Virtual. It is true that the category is still of interest due to the fact that threequarters of volumes are being used in skincare products (leaveon). However, according to Kline, a decline is anticipated due to a fall-off in sales of premium skincare, mitigated by mass, masstige and budget products. For many this was the first time to engage with their contacts since forced lockdowns were introduced around the globe.

George Rosson, Managing Director of Natura-Tec, which exhibited, commented: “in-cosmetics Virtual provided a great opportunity to e-meet customers and also restart the conversation about our range of vegetable and marine-based ingredients. These meetings direct with manufacturers enabled us to share our vision, our philosophy, our technology and the traceability of our products and it gave us enhanced visibility. in-cosmetics Virtual was brilliant - I would rate it a 9 or 10 out of 10!” Cathy Laporte, Portfolio Director of the in-cosmetics Group, concluded: “We live in unprecedented times and this is the first time in 30 years that the in-cosmetics Group has had to run a full-scale virtual event for the industry. As we navigate this challenging period, it is essential for our community to keep abreast of the latest industry developments, both from a scientific and consumer trends perspective. We’re proud to have run this highly curated event, which has been widely welcomed by the screened R&D professionals that joined and we will continue to be at the heart of the personal care sector as it looks to innovate its way through the pandemic into the post-Covid era.” in-cosmetics Virtual took place from 6 – 8 October 2020.

African Pride Dubs October 15 as ‘HBCU Plan to the Polls Day’ New National Holiday Encourages HBCU Students and Alumni to Make a Plan & Vote SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 15, 2020/PRNewswire/ -- African Pride, leading hair care product manufacturer with more than 30 years’ experience creating quality and affordable products, is excited to unveil today its first national holiday, formally dubbing Thursday, October 15, 2020 as “HBCU Plan to the Polls Day.” In partnership with And Still I Vote, a national call to action spearheaded by The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the new national holiday aims to encourage HBCU students and alumni across the country to make a plan for how they will vote during this election season, as well as share their pledge to vote with their followers and communities.

The brand is committed to changing the culture around voting, and helping bring even more people into the voting process. African Pride will engage in key areas with concentrated populations of historically underrepresented voters, namely, young people and people of color, to have an impact in voter and volunteer engagement. The partnership will spread awareness and increase education on registration status, making a plan to vote in person or by mail, and knowing your community’s polling place for this election. Focus cities will include Dallas, Baltimore, Chicago, Jacksonville, Houston, New York boroughs, Memphis and Atlanta.

Stemming from African Prides’ larger #TakePrideAndVote campaign, which encourages people from across the country to join the voting rights movement and impact real change, the organizations will be tapping HBCU alumni, school administrators, current students, community leaders, and radio hosts to get involved and promote voter education through mailers, radio giveaways, swag kits, action based flyers and an online pledge forum.

“Together with African Pride and our And Still I Vote campaign, we will work tirelessly to stop the efforts to silence our voices, and empower our communities to act,” said Leigh Chapman, Voting Rights Program Director at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “It’s up to us to create a democracy where every eligible voter can cast a ballot and have it counted, and we couldn’t be more excited to have a partner like African Pride helping to lead the charge.”

“In today’s climate, it’s about ensuring our voices are heard through voting,” said Alexia Amerson, Senior Brand Manager at Godrej North America. “Together with And Still I Vote, African Pride is committed to empowering our communities to take action and impact change by increasing voter registration and elevating voices. Through our efforts together, we will be one step closer to ensuring every eligible voter, votes, because when we all vote, we all do better.”

HONORS Wahl Clipper Corporation’s Professional division and social service organization Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis recently awarded full scholarships to six students to attend barber school at Antonio’s Barber College and St. Charles Barber College, as part of the Wahl Professional Fade It Forward program.

The program provides mentorship and support to at-risk youth with the goal of helping them achieve their dreams of becoming professional barbers and entrepreneurs. The students arrived at Urban League St. Louis Headquarters not knowing that Wahl Education and Artistic Team member Garland “G-Whiz” Fox would be there to surprise and welcome them to the Wahl family. He gave each student a scholarship certificate and a gift bag of Wahl Professional tools to use during barber school.

Before beginning classes at Antonio’s Barber College and St. Charles Barber College, the students will complete a four-week mentorship program with professional barbers in the St. Louis area. The goal of the mentorship program is to support and teach each student the importance of hard work and the dedication needed to become a barber. The scholarship and mentoring

program has started its first year in St. Louis and its second year in Chicago, with plans underway to launch the third program in Cleveland in 2021. For more details on the program and Wahl Clipper, visit https://wahlpro.com/.

LAST MINUTE BLASTS SheaMoisture unveils “It Comes Naturally,” a brand campaign created by a team of Black artists and multicultural creatives that conveys the essence of Black women and is an unapologetic portrayal of a shared experience of resilience and creativity.

In tandem with the campaign, SheaMoisture has pledged to commit proceeds from every product sold to help realize the dreams

of Black women entrepreneurs. Set against both a global social justice movement and a moment of transformative cultural change, It Comes Naturally is a celebration of Black identity. Six Black female artists—Monica Ahanonu, Rachelle Baker, Bisa

Butler, Alexis Eke, Linda Mawala and Reyna Noriega—were commissioned to create a campaign that brings to life the stories, legacy and heritage carried by Black women through generations in rich illustrations.

“This work is a manifestation of how we live our purpose out loud by investing in Black women to create something meaningful

for Black women,” says Tracey Jennings, SheaMoisture’s senior vice president, marketing and creative excellence. Visit sheamoisture.com.
