EDITORIAL LETTER

OTC Beauty at Your Service For nearly two decades, OTC Beauty Magazine has been the No. 1 source for multicultural beauty products, industry news, and business tips. As the only publication that caters to an audience of beauty supply store owners, manufacturers and professionals, we pride ourselves on remaining relevant during these unique times. That’s why I’m proud to announce the changes that lie ahead for the publication. You’ve likely noticed the change in our logo, and we’re happy to say that we’ve adopted a new look. We wanted to represent a more modern look but not lose the traditional look our audience has come to love. We intend to accommodate more of our readers and translate more content into Korean and Arabic. You’ll notice this in our feature article on Related Items on page 48. That story will also be a new addition to the magazine. It’ll offer tips on upselling your customers on complementary products. More content will be forthcoming to help you better run your OTC stores, too. As we move forward into an era of uncertainty and turmoil, we will continue to grow and be a reliable source of information for our readers. We hope you’ll allow us to continue being at your service as a reliable source for all things multicultural and ethnic beauty. Jessica De Vault Hale EDITOR

EXPERT ADVICE

Universal Beauty’s Skincare Picks At Universal Beauty Products (UBP), we love hair, but that’s not our only area of expertise. We know how to take care of skin, too. Much like our hair products, our skincare products are packed with healthy ingredients and are designed to nourish and moisturize. Check out some of our favorites, all made to enhance your skin’s healthy glow.

Jamaican Mango & Lime: Mango & Shea Butter Lotion This lotion is a popular addition to our beloved Jamaican Mango & Lime (JML) brand. It’s enriched with moringa seed oil, which is rich in vitamins and minerals, and it contains manuka honey, a natural moisturizer full of antioxidants. This formula binds and seals in moisture on dry skin, leaving it soft and smooth. It’s non-greasy and absorbs fast into skin, making it perfect for everyday use. Each time you use it, the fresh and fruity mango scent will make you dream of your next tropical vacay.

My DNA: Life Naturals Oil Our Natural Oils help hydrate hair, but they also work wonders at rehydrating your skin, too. Choose from 10 refreshing flavors like vitamin E and peppermint. Each oil is made with nourishing ingredients like sunflower and flax seed oil. Rub the oils onto dry skin for long-lasting softness and moisture. Rub into your nails to help repair dull, cracked nails and peeling cuticles. They’re also great to use with scalp massages and moisturize deep for soothing relief from head scratching, dryness, and tightness.

OTC Beauty Magazine October 2021

VIA Natural: Lip Care

Pucker up and get ready for buttery smooth lips. Each tube of VIA Natural Lip Care is full of hydrating ingredients like shea butter and beeswax, made to soothe and soften chapped lips. Pick your favorite, or try all six delicious flavors, including milk chocolate and cocoa butter, because we all know you can never have too many lip balms.

VIA Natural: Ultra Care

Ultra Care oils are made of a concentrated mix of natural oils like vitamin E and D, shea butter, and meadowfoam, so it’s no surprise they pack a moisturizing punch. Apply liberally to dry skin areas and let the oils penetrate deep to soften and hydrate. Massage it into your nails and the skin around them for strong, healthy nails and cuticles.

My DNA: Jamaican Black Castor Oil

We love to sing the praises of Jamaican Black Castor Oil. It’s a versatile oil that can be used for so many beauty routines, and that includes skincare routines. The “miracle treatment oil” provides intense hydration to smooth and soften the driest skin. My DNA Jamaican Black Castor Oil comes in seven different scents. All the oils will moisturize your skin, but certain scents will have different results. For example, use tea tree JBCO to help rejuvenate your mind and alleviate tension. Use lavender to help you unwind and get more restful sleep. With its calming effects, JBCO is ideal to use during a massage to deliver total relaxation and soothing aromatherapy. You can also pour the oils into your bath water for full-body moisture and a spa-like bath experience. Whether you’re using JBCO in a bath or massage, or if you’re just rubbing it into your skin, breathe the scents in deeply to soothe your mind and spirit.

JML Beard Care

We can’t forget about our men! JML has an all-inclusive line of beard care products made to revitalize skin and facial hair. One of our favorites is Beard Wash and Conditioner. This 2-in-1 formula deep cleans your beard and washes away odor and build up while smoothing and conditioning coarse, wiry hair. It’s also enriched with vitamins A & E to maintain hair health, promote shine, and protect and strengthen beard hair, giving you the foundation to grow a fuller, healthier beard.

MARKET PLACE

Skincare Staples When it comes to skincare, there are some products your shoppers just can’t live without. Cocoa butter, lotions, lip balms and more are daily tools in your customers’ beauty regimens. Are you prepared to address your customers’ skincare needs? Here are 12 of OTC’s skincare favorites that we know will always sell and will bring your shoppers back for more!

Body Cream Suffering from dry skin? The Cantu Skin Therapy Hydrating Cocoa Butter Body Cream can help. It penetrates rough, dry skin to leave it feeling soft and smooth. The naturally hydrating cocoa butter and unique blend of shea butter, mango butter, and Vitamin E make this an excellent option for moisturization.

Black Soap Black soap is always popular in beauty supply stores, and the Dudu Osun Balck Soap is no exception. Crafted entirely from natural ingredients and herbs (many handpicked in Africa), this soap leaves the skin refreshed and silky smooth. It is also helpful in healing chronic eczema, acne, freckles, and dark spots.

OTC Beauty Magazine October 2021

After Shave Shaving a textured beard can irritate the skin. That’s what barbers reach for the Clubman After Shave Lotion. This aftershave cools, exhilarates and soothes tender skin.

Hydrating Spray Tone, balance, and refresh your skin with the By Nature Rose Water. Customers can use this spray on the face, neck and skin. It can also be used as a body spray or as a way to add softness and shine to tresses.

Lip Balm With the winter fast approaching, dry lips will be an ongoing concern for your shoppers. That’s why you should have the Triple Force Formula™ of Carmex Lip Balm to protect your lips from cold, wind and dry weather.

Astringent Deeply cleanse your skin with the Sea Breeze Original Formula Astringent. This potent formula clears the skin of debris, deep cleanses and shrinks the appearance of pores. It also has natural oils to enhance the soothing and refreshing cleansing experience.

OTC Beauty Magazine October 2021

Skincare Staples

Dark Spot Corrector When dark spots and hyperpigmentation are the problems, you’ll need a corrector like Topiclear Papaya Cream. Formulated with natural papaya extract, this product gradually fades dark blemishes from the skin, such as sunspots, acne scars and age spots.

Healing Jelly Whether you’re suffering from damaged skin or in need of dry-skin relief, Vaseline® Healing Jelly Original continues to be a multiuse household staple. It’s made with 100% pure petrolatum and can be used on dry, stressed, and sensitive skin.

Daily Skin Therapy When your rough, dry skin needs a bit of healing and softening, reach for Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Body Lotion. Crafted with intensively moisturizing Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E, this longtime beauty staple will always be in demand.

Skincare Staples

Fade Cream If your shoppers are looking to erase their facial imperfections, recommend Daggett & Ramsdell Facial Fade Cream. This non-irritating moisturizing formula helps to gently fade freckles, dark areas, scars, age spots, and discolorations.

Cocoa Butter Everyone knows about the natural benefits of cocoa butter, so it’s no wonder shoppers love to carry the Cococare Cocoa Lip Balm in their pockets. This all-natural moisturizer goes on smooth and silky. It’s also ideal for preventing and protecting dry, chapped, cracked or windburned lips.

Ointment For those male shoppers suffering from skin conditions like dandruff or psoriasis, recommend the Lucky Tiger Ointment. It provides relief from itching, burns and even razor burn. It’s also ideal for men with sensitive skin.

OTC Beauty Magazine October 2021

WORKS BETTER FOR HER TEXTURE CREATED BY BLACK EXPERTS, GOLD SERIES WORKS BETTER BECAUSE IT’S MADE BETTER A dedicated team of PhDs and scientists strived for over ten years to develop a haircare line using innovative technology and superior ingredients formulated specifically for textured hair. Inspired by their loved ones and their personal hair journeys, the talented souls behind the science of Gold Series have mined their deep knowledge and fondest hair memories to develop a unique line of products that deliver unrivaled benefits to care for, style and maintain textured hair. Whether your customers’ hair is natural, relaxed or if they’re transitioning, the Gold Series Collection gives their hair moisture, shine and strength. For Isoken Igwekala-Nweke, PhD, her 1-year-old daughter’s fascination with her “big chop” is what excites her to give specialized attention to the formulation of Gold Series. Scientist Ian Henry understands that his invaluable contribution to shaping positive messages about Black women’s beauty will help his young daughter navigate the world confidently. Through rigorous testing and years of research, these brilliant minds have found that from the corner suite to the astronaut’s seat, you need your haircare to not only work for you, but also make your proudest moments that much better.

In addition to customer favorites like the Hydrating Butter-Crème, Intense Hydrating Oil, and Leave-On Detangling Milk, Gold Series has introduced a Maintenance Collection that will continue to satisfy your customers’ unique hair needs and make their hair easy to maintain. Also, Gold Series has been refreshed with a beautiful look, guaranteed to turn heads. Check it out below.

weaknesses at the extremes. High Adaptors’ discomforts with ambiguity kill them altogether if they can’t resolve the ambiguity quickly. And their opportunities outside their day-to-day world.

So now what? If you’ve ruled out extreme Innovators and extreme Adaptors as the best candidates for managing the process, where does that leave you? With everyone else. Here’s the great news: everyone else is most of us. 67% of the population is in the middle of these two extremes.

If you want someone who may be naturally inclined to manage an innovation process, pick someone more in the middle who can be a Bridger. The benefits of a Bridger in this role are numerous because they naturally exhibit moderate traits of both adaption and innovation. So with a Bridger, you get a bit of the best of both.

In short, they’ll drive everyone on the team crazy and jeopardize the success of the project. So, an extreme Innovator may not be the person you want to run the show. They’re one of the actors and probably a lead actor, but they shouldn’t be the producer.

The problem may be in getting these people to understand that they are the ones who should be running the innovation process. Since they’re not high Innovators, they haven’t had people telling them their whole lives that they’re creative thinkers. So they may not think of themselves as a good fit for innovation. The role of the company innovators should be to convince those in the middle that they’re needed in the innovation process - and

THERAPY TRENDS Virtual Cosmetics The Try-and-Buy Spiral By Elayne McClaine Department stores offer the luxury of high-tech, high-touch product experimentation and onsite human consultants. They have dedicated their display space and trial mechanisms to this endeavor. However, this business model is not efficient for even the largest OTC store. It’s incredibly labor-intensive, even if department stores don’t have to pay for labor. In addition, there are “try-on” apps for makeup and cosmetic trial tools now. The consumer can virtually tap into the convenience of online shopping while in a store. The consumer has its in-store mirror right in their smartphone. Such technology has become an integral part of the shopping experience. Small OTCs may not have the space for makeup stations and Hollywood mirrors, but retailers can offer their own unique, in-store experience. Beauty supply stores can provide luxurious shade charts, uniquely ethnic branding, and dedicated aisles for cosmetic and makeup customers. OTCs can also provide budget-conscious products and a wide variety of beauty solutions.

DREAMWORLDPRODUCTS.COM

Consumers identify beauty purchases either in-store or online. They likely have virtually sampled their shades. They have experienced skincare therapies in branded boutiques. They have been “made up” on the department store floor. All of this investment by other retail outlets can benefit attractive store offerings in the OTC outlet. The customers have the product knowledge from various online and social media sites. The ultimate purchase will come down to a product with the ideal price point and finding a comparable shade or skin therapy. The OTC could offer pop-up retailing strategies that focus on periodic, in-store beauty experts to be competitive. Glamourous mirrors in the store can replicate the luxurious environment of more upscale outlets. To date, many OTC stores are attempting to grant a more spacious shopping environment.

CMY

Ultimately, elegant product displays will also help customers bring the virtual try-and-buy experience to the reality of an instore purchase at your OTC. 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.
