Dear Reader The year is coming to an end! It’s time for retrospection and introspection. 2017 will be remembered as the year one of the biggest economic reforms was implemented – the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Indian salon industry accepted GST wholeheartedly. In the long run, it will help eliminate fake dealers and dubious distributors, bringing about a reform in the true sense of the word. In this issue, we look back at the key happenings from the industry. We saw a host of brands, both global and Indian, put themselves forth in the market. There was a special leaning towards skincare. As the market is opening up, entreprenuers and global brands are seeking to leverage the opportunity of being in such a vast marketplace. In the hair space, we saw the debut of a new brand from one of India’s largest grooming brands – Godrej Professional. The expertise and technology that has gone in the development of its wide product range, we are positive it will command a huge fan following amongst hairstylists and colourists. As we wind up the proceedings of 2017, we are looking at 2018 with tremendous hope. We wish the salon industry and all its allied segments success in the New Year! That’s all from us, folks. Looking forward to meeting you in 2018. Stay tuned with www.beauteespace.net for your daily dose of beauty news.

L’Oréal Paris has announced actress Aja Naomi King as the brand’s newest spokeswoman. Aja is one of Hollywood’s top rising stars. Just as her body of work has evolved with impressive performances and versatile roles across film and television, so has her passion for helping others understand and value their worth. The skilled actress and Yale graduate currently stars in the hit series “How to Get Away with Murder.” In her newest role, Aja joins an esteemed roster of spokeswomen including Julianne Moore, Eva Longoria, Elle Fanning and Camila Cabello, among others, in representing the brand. Aja will star in TV, print and digital advertising campaigns for the brand beginning in the US in early 2018. Her first campaign will be for True Match Lumi Glow.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) announced that it had accepted the U-SENS™ method (to predict sensitising potential) and the HCE EIT* method (to detect the eye irritation potential of chemicals), both of which can be used in place of animal testing. This adoption by the OECD will enable all industries to use these two alternative methods developed by L’Oréal’s research laboratories. In order to guarantee consumer safety, it is imperative that the cosmetics industry ensures that the ingredients present in the finished product have no undesirable effects, such as skin allergy or eye irritation. Since the EU banned animal testing in 2013, alternative in vitro methods have been developed to predict these potential side effects. *HCE EIT: Human Corneal Epithelium Eye Irritation Test

BRAND/Interview

Chambor honours

25 years C

a tête-à-tête with Toni Parisi, CMO, Baccarose. — By Ritoo Jhha hambor has been on the market for over 25 years and has literally established itself as a go to brand for premium products in colour cosmetics. It was one of the first that matched quality in product with a suave packaging and was to be found on the shelves of prestigious department stores. Beauty Launchpad brings you an exclusive interview with Toni Parisi, CMO, Baccarose - the first Indian company with the largest number of success stories in selling prestige and premium cosmetics including Chambor, arden and Clarins amongst others. Chambor has completed 25 years in the market. As a premium brand, how has the brand maintained a steady course without being in the Face? We have always put the customer first. Understanding the Indian Woman and then delivering quality products that are relevant, sometime daring and always delivered with a strong sense of service and loyalty to our customers. We want our customers to feel special when they buy Chambor, at the right value proposition. at Chambor, we believe that every woman is beautiful and Chambor helps her enhance her beauty, the way she wants to. reaching out to most Indian women giving them the confidence to express themselves and empowering them to always show their best. Have its antecedents in Switzerland helped? Are you manufacturing in India? yes some of the products are manufactured in India with using the best ingredients. What are the key innovations and FIRSTS from Chambor? Chambor has created some real classics that have lasted the test of time. some

have been passed down from Mother to Daughter, sister to sister or Friend to Friend. • Silver Shadow Compact Powder was the first launch ever, which is still available today and we continuously endeavour to improve its formulation. • Powder Matt – was the key innovation as a matt lipstick, which at the time, were not available in India. • Flowing Lipstick – was the first liquid lipstick introduced by Chambor in India • Refreshing Stick Foundation (Aqua Stick) – first foundation in a cooling stick form. • Lip Vinyl – a lip gloss with a vinyl finish.

Toni Parisi

Chambor is primarily positioned as a makeup brand - how has skincare worked to supplement the offer? We believe that beauty also comes by helping our customers have a vibrant, youthful and healthy looking skin, starting with cleansing, before and after applying makeup. We also wanted customers who love Chambor, to experience the brand in their skincare regime. so in effect, it was the customer demand which lead us to create our skincare line. From my experience, it is very difficult to move customers between categories, unless they really feel part of the brand and treat it as a ‘Love Brand’, playing an important part in their lives. Chambor is

this for many, many women and we are humbled by this. We have seen a manifold growth in standalone stores - has this strategy worked for you? Which works better brick & mortar or online? standalone store allow brands to express themselves to the full. From the outside of the store to the moment they walk in, we want to engulf them with the Chambor beauty experience. The customer can take her time and relax, enjoy discovering and being pampered by our wonderful staff. standalone store need to be special and feel special, thus the selective distribution of these formats. Naturally, we have also supported and invested in our retail partners who have played an important role in helping us build Chambor into a household name brand. Together, we learnt how to build this Category when nothing was there and we created it, together. They also play a key role for us to engage the customer when they are shopping for items other than beauty and we help retailers to create a complete shopping experience for their customers at the high service levels they expect. Online retailers play a complimentary role to brick & mortar retailers. The type of service, product offering and education should match that of in store, but be presented in a format, which fits the customer need online. In some circumstances, the customer profile is different to brick & mortar retailers, but we are here to build the beauty category and the two can work together to build an

overall better customer beauty experience and where we leave it up to the customer where and how she wants to purchase her beauty product. This can only be better for the customer, who can have a more varied service offering, purchase solutions and multiple formats to enhance her overall Beauty education to always look better. you can never stop learning to look and feel better. What are the marketing channels that work for you in today’s fluid & competitive market for colour cosmetics? Chambor has been a first in many areas of product offering and we continue to strive to maintain this tradition. This, combined with customer service and experience at counter is key to maintain customer loyalty and appreciation of our brand. We have always been and will always be loyal to our retail partners, both long standing and new who proactively work with towards the same vision to build the beauty category by making the whole experience as engaging, educational and entertaining as possible. We want our customers to love shopping and keep discovering beauty. It’s a never ending process. What are the key areas for emphasis in the next few years? same principles as always: Understanding Indian women Products that surprise Customer service and care

Salon ownerS aSSociation

he country saw the beginnings of a Salon Owners Association - an initiative by salon owners in Delhi-NCR, wholeheartedly supported by those from other parts of India, in an attempt to present a united front to the government on the pressing issue of GST restructuring. A delegation of almost 60 salon owners from Delhi-NCR paid a visit to Manoj Tiwari, MP & the Delhi head of BJP, to raise their concerns on the issue. All major salons are a part of this association formed by salon owners Kusum Goel, Pinky Singh, amongst others. Major players like Geetanjali, Looks, Madonna, Indica, from North India showed up in solidarity. The newly formed Indian Salon Owners Association (ISOA) has an elected working committee by majority voice vote. The association is currently for salons only, but plans to expand its winds to Spa/ Massage centres in due course, if the general body permits. The ISOA focussed on consolidating and considering issues related to salon management & business, may affiliate with other state units, once a healthy membership is attained. Group members are requested to apply for formal membership of this association to make it a strong entity. Members participation and support will encourage the working committee to march forward in the right direction.

iuseppe Toni Mascolo, one of the founders of the Toni&Guy salon group passed away on December. The news was broken by the social media reps of Toni&Guy on twitter in a solemn post. Giuseppe ‘Toni’ Mascolo was born into a family of very talented hairdressers, and he opened the first Toni&Guy salon with his brother Guy in 1963 in Clapham, South West London. The sons of Francesco and Maria Mascolo, the brothers learned their hairdressing skills from their father, himself a respected hairdresser. The brothers had tremendous vision and energy and their particular skill of dressing hair, created with the amazing flair that is so typically Italian, was an attractive option to the geometric hairstyles of the late 1960s. By the mid-70s the brothers had opened their first salon in central London, on Davies Street, Mayfair and were receiving coverage in glossy magazines. At the same time, they started participating in hairdressing shows that took them all over the world. During the late 70s

How does it feel to be back with Sebastian Professionals? It feels like going back to a house I lived in several years ago. Everything has changed, and I am still trying to navigate my way round a new layout. What has changed with the brand over the years? What has happened in the past is exactly that, the past! But we need to look at our past successes as milestones as we start defining what should be done next. I would like to think we are on a new creative journey where we need to connect some of the dots to keep pace with current trends, which in turn means we have to take a leap of faith to another dot.

Rebel with a

cause Beauty Launchpad in an exclusive interview with Robert Lobetta, Creative Visionary, Sebastian Professionals. — By Kanishka Ramchandani

beauty launchpad india | 12.17

What are your plans for the brand and for yourself as the Creative Visionary? For the brand, it’s incredibly important to have a strong belief, a philosophy that has the ability to drive ideas, via a group of individuals that work as a collective. Whatever we create, whether it be a haircut, a film, a product, a photograph or the written word, ultimately the message has to carry our beliefs and our thumb print. If what we create is to be successful, it has to have honesty and integrity, but most of all it has to have soul, and it’s the soul of our brand that will touch our people. I believe that part of my job is to bring back the soul of the company. How has photography helped you evolve as a hairdresser? It hasn’t really, in reality I think it is the opposite. When you look through the lens you tend to understand that it is just as important what you don’t show in an image, as what you do show. The hair you are trying to capture through the lens takes on new meanings, as you start to see things you didn’t think you were going to see. Looking at hair differently has helped me evolve more as a photographer than I realised.

You are known for creating iconic images for Sebastian. Do you plan to create more such inspirational looks? Obviously it’s a different time, and a different set of visuals are needed, I don’t believe any brand should stay with one style, because our style is similar to our taste. We are all on a path thats permanently evolving, which causes our taste to change at any given time. As a brand we continually develop a changing aesthetic whilst our eyes are constantly finding new possibilities. I believe the image of any brand has to change on a permanent basis to stay relevant. What advice would you like to give to aspiring hairdressers? Whether you like it or not, you are never going to please everyone. Some people will love what you do and others won’t. Listen to your instincts, and always be inspired to create something that comes from within. Try not to feel the pressure to follow others, which I know can be difficult, but once you find your own style, and learn to trust in yourself, you will then find a way to make it relevant to all those around you. Last but not the least, tenacity is the dark side of creativity, without tenacity, drive and devotion to making something happen, you might just end up average. So, don’t be afraid to ask for help, and remember this – never let the noise of other peoples opinions drown out your inner voice. You describe youself as a ‘Rebel’. What are the things/trends that you would like to rebel against in the present hair fashion scenario? Being a rebel is about challenging the status quo, seeing things differently, and always having a belief. Having a rebellious attitude causes us all to invent new methodologies, new ways of seeing and doing. The method I work within is only useful until it leads me to a new one, and you can only get to a new method by rebelling against the old

one. In order for our industry to grow, we have to look at our roots, which are salons, I think it’s time to rebel against how salons function in the next decade. In the last 40 years, the salon itself has hardly changed in how it functions. My question is this – can a salon be thought of as a study of anthropology, the study of people, where a space is designed more towards an experience of interactivity. As hairdressers we study our clients, and they study us, and the environment we inhabit together paints a picture of how we evolve. The design of a salon affects how we function as hairdressers and clients, if we take a moment and study the environment, we will probably know it is in need of a change. What keeps Robert Lobetta going as a hairdresser, artist, rebel and photographer? I have this sense of community that is beckoning me at the moment. After all these years in the hair and beauty industry, it’s reassuring to still be here, and at the same time humbling. I am always trying to move forward, no matter what discipline I’m working within, and this forward motion has given me a perspective that benefits from the inspirations and openness of the people I have crossed paths with. My goal is to reach out to untouched audiences and communities in the different spheres of what we consider creativity in the visual and verbal world of communication.

RawNatÜRe

FOR MeN Only

In an exclusive conversation with Beauty Launchpad India, Sangita Desai and Mohit Saxena, Co-founders, RawNatÜRe talk about the brand presence and expansion plans. — By Meher Castelino

iving competition to the Indian women on the grooming front, the Indian men are conscious about how they look in a world where the first impression is the most lasting one. to cater to the needs of the millennial male, Sangita Desai and Mohit Saxena has recently launched RawNatÜRe. Priced between `525

beauty launchpad india | 12.17

and `1459, the brand is manufactured in Mumbai and offers a wide range of products to cater to male grooming options. Sangita Desai and Mohit Saxena reveal more details about the brand. How was the name RawNatÜRe selected? there were many options but we wanted the name to reflect our

philosophy of transparency and safety. also, the fact that it is natural, naturally derived, connected to the elements and is also masculine. RawNatÜRe fits all of these. Did you do any research before launching a men’s grooming line? Yes, both from syndicated studies from euromonitor for the trends and the market dynamics learnt first hand by

having experience in this domain led us to launch a men’s grooming line.

in mind the Indian skin, hair, type and environmental conditions

why did you pick on a men’s line when the women’s section is more popular? Growth. the men’s segment is new and galloping at a rate of 17 percent CaGR (as per techSci Research) and some new categories like beard management, being absolutely new categories, having a 42 percent CaGR by many estimates. also, adoption by men into this category is faster than the women who may be more wary to adopt / try a new brand, especially if it does not come from an established stable.

what type of R&D was conducted before the launch? we invested almost 2 years and innumerable trials before we finalised on the 17 products that we have launched. all products have been developed ground-up keeping in mind the modern Indian man and the issues he faces with respect to grooming. environmental factors, safety factors and even specialised needs were addressed and products developed accordingly. this saw the launch of the Volcanic Clay series of body wash, face wash and shampoo for deep cleansing. we also provide a range of anti-chafing products for everyday use and for people who undertake activities such as running, cycling and gymming. we address the needs of the 40+ male with anti-ageing and skin management products.

who is your target audience? we are serving the needs of men from 24 to 55. So the tG is wide. Some of our products are focused to 40+ and the balance is for 24-40. these are typically urban men who are a mix of both achievers and aspirers. what is the USP of the brand? we have specially formulated and not taken the formula off-the-shelf. all ingredients are Vegan — either natural, naturally derived or safe-to-use as defined by ecoCert making them very SaFe to use. we use no Parabens, Sulphates, artificial fragrances, artificial colours, tea, Mea, Dea, ethoxylates of Phthalates. the formulation keeps

which men’s grooming brands will you compete with? we have created a niche with the product line, which is not only safe, chemical-free and focused on specific needs of today’s modern man but is also very high on product efficacy that makes us very different from everybody else. However, other online brands are also targeting similar tG with their offering so we will be

competing with them. Off-line brands like Kama and the Body Shop will be our competition. what are your promotions plans, advertising, public relations, and schemes? we have an extensive advertising, social and a reach out program in place, which we are currently rolling out in parts. there are a lot of natural ingredients in your products where are they sourced? all the products are sourced from primary manufacturers of their official representatives in India. are Indian men aware of the various products like beard oil and wash? Our beard range was born in response to the growing wave of male styling and grooming in India. Beard management is a big shift in the Indian man’s daily grooming regimen. Now, men have access to products that are specially made for facial hair. Since, this category is already 3 years old, there is more than a fair amount of awareness about beard products. will you go for off-line retail if so where and when? we are already available in select salons. Our strategic off-line presence will also start rolling out in the first quarter of 2018. where do you see the brand 5 years from now? today’s man is well-informed, discerning and concerned about what products he uses and how they affect him. with our strategy of creating unique and safe products, we will help him meet this ever-growing need. with this simple yet powerful philosophy, we believe that RawNatÜRe will be a leader in the affordable luxury space of men’s grooming. will you be adding a women’s line in future? Currently, we have launched our line for men. In the future, we will also launch a women’s line. However, this will be only after we have established ourselves in the current space. 1 2 .17 | b eauty launchpad india

Get Soft

CraCk-Free Heels

Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals give you the best prep for your heels this winter season!

CAUSES OF CRACKED FEET • Dryness: Dryness renders the outer layer of the skin brittle. Pressure on this brittle skin causes small cracks. • Over Strain: Prolonged standing at work or at home exerts pressure on heels. • Skin Problems: Psoriasis and eczema. • Dietary Deficiency: Deficiency of Zinc, Omega 3 fatty acids, minerals and vitamins leads to dryness.

t’s that time of year again; December has made an appearance and has brought with it the Christmas shopping and party season. With all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to forget to treat ourselves—not to gifts or sweets—but to maintaining soft feet as we pound the pavement and spend hours on concrete floors while running laps in malls and partying all night. Addressing this neglected yet significant concern, Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals, India’s professional skincare brand, brings a revolutionary solution to give your feet some much-needed TLC this festive season. At Cheryl’s, we believe in a thorough diagnosis before prescribing any treatment. Experts at Cheryl’s provide a targeted diagnosis and check client’s cracked heels before they suggest a suitable treatment. The growing tendency to ignore one’s feet, increasingly leads to a common problem of cracked heels. We take almost 10,000 steps a day and our feet bear the weight of our body, resulting in the build-up of dead skin and callouses. Cheryl’s HeelPeel Treatment effectively and conveniently eliminates

beauty launchpad india | 12.17

rough skin and cracked heels in just 20 minutes! It is recommended to use Cheryl’s HeelPeel in-salon treatment once a month. However, the cycle must be changed depending on the condition of the callouses. Backed with scientificallyproven herbal actives and biotechnological ingredients in the purest form, Cheryl’s skin solutions provide professional procedures to optimize the health and beauty of skin. This winter season Cheryl’s HeelPeel Professional Treatment will be the perfect addition to your feet moisturizing routine.

POST TREATMENT MAINTENANCE: The new HeelPeel Eliminator is enriched with natural and scientific ingredients. Cheryl’s HeelPeel Eliminator contains active ingredients like Beta Glucan, which heals wounds and cuts, urea that hydrates and moisturizes the skin, shea butter which increases blood circulation and promotes cell renewal and kokum butter, which restores elasticity and makes skin soft and smooth.

“HeelPeel Treatment is designed to work on cracked feet and soften them, along with removing calluses in one sitting. It should not be mistaken for a pedicure which aims at feet maintenance rather than addressing the concerns of cracked heels and calluses. With Cheryl’s HeelPeel, clients will never have to suffer the pain of painful heels again!” - Presley Coelho, National Education Manager, Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals

YEARLY OVERVIEW

Snapshots from 2017

IndIan beauty Industry’s

success run The salon space was constantly making news in 2017. New brands vying for their share of the pie, innovations changing the face of beauty and beauty industry spreading its wings and roots were some of the impressive achievements that we witnessed this year. Beauty Launchpad brings an exclusive round up of the exciting chapters that made up the industry’s success story in 2017. — By Kanishka Ramchandani

he Indian salon industry is not an easy space to be in. It needs a gestation period of at least two years and even then, it’s not a money spinner. And yet we find new salons opening up every other day. This trend can be equally attributed to consumer demand and professionals’ passion. The growth rate of the salon industy has been lethargic this year. While we saw a general slow down in salon expansion plans, there were brand launches from global markets that kept the inspiration going. As we come to end of 2017, let’s look at key news highlights of the year. Biz world From a business perspective, the salon industry went on a backfoot due to the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST). The much-dreaded tax levied 28% on cosmetics and 18% on salon services. Luxury and premium salons were tagged at 28%. However, after the initial hit and slowdown, the beauty market got back in action and the year passed off without too much damage. The one real benefit of the GST for the beauty industry was that it eliminated bogus dealers and weak links. Going forward we are hoping the industry would take a firm grip of each upward rung of its success ladder. Here’s what Businesseconomics. com has to say about the beauty industry.:According to a recent report by Research and Markets named “India Cosmetic Market Overview” (November 2016), the country’s cosmetic market

beauty launchpad india | 12.17

was growing with a CAGR of 17.06% over a period of five years. In 2008, the industry growth was counted to be 7% and it did a business of USD2.5 billion. In 2016, the market size of India’s beauty, cosmetic and grooming market was USD6.5 billion and is expected to reach USD20 billion by 2025, according to a report by Assocham (2016). A report by KPMG wellness sector (2014) states that India’s beauty market will reach `80,370 crore by 2017-18. It was `41,224 crore in 2012-13. The report also indicates that the workforce requirement will grow to 12.1 million in

2022 from that of 3.4 million in 2013. According to the CII, the total Indian cosmetics market is of USD950 million, which indicates a growth of 15-20% per annum. The pulse of BeauTy It’s no secret that India is a veritable market for consumer products and beauty services alike. With its huge population and a wide bandwith of middle class with disposable income, India is a flourishing market for cosmetics and beauty products. With the current spate of international beauty

pagaent winners from India as well as Bollywood beauties striking gold in the West, beauty trends are fast catching up here. In terms of product and treatment development, 2017 was the year of face packs. This year we saw a rise in demand for facial packs, both insalon and at-home care categories. Brands like Repechage and Innisfree are developing a demand for this category with their exclusive products such as a sleep-in mask. Also steadily on the rise are medi-facials, which are fast becoming an integral part of the bridal skincare routine. There is also growth in the segment of invasive treatments. Consumers are demanding facial corrective measures to become minimally invasive and the existing minimally invasive treatment to become topical applications. Year 2017 witnessed some of the key global brands setting up shop here along with new homegrown ones, hoping to get their share of the country’s growth pie. Top BeauTy Brand launches Paul Penders America’s leading Vegan beauty and personal care brand made its entry in the Indian market. Paul Penders offers vegan beauty and personal care products for women and personal care products for men and children. The products draw inspiration from Paul’s grandmother’s 22 herbs concoction, which is the base material for every product.

men’s grooming Year 2017 was the year of styleconscious men. More and more male consumers were seen experimenting with their hair and beards. With their grooming requirements on a rise, brands are fast filling up the demand gap with niche product lines. This year we saw the entry of Depot Male Tools in the professional segment and brands like Black Leopard the ‘men-only skincare’ brand from Australia wooing the boys from off the shelf. In spite of its highs and lows, Year 2017 turned out to be a decent one for the Indian beauty industry. We are positive that the industry stakeholders will continue with their optimistic streak well into 2018 and learn from the mistakes of 2017. If economic reforms continue to be in favour of the service industry, we will see the beauty sector emerging as one of the top contenders. 1 2 .17 | b eauty launchpad india

Foundation with panelists featuring Dr Arjun Khandare, Scientist and Head – Food Safety and Toxicology, National Institute Dr DS Rana, Chairman, Board of Management, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Suneeti Toteja, Director (FSMS), Food Safety & Standards Association of India and KR Sreenivas, Resident Editor, Times of India, Hyderabad. The panel unanimously agreed that awareness-raising and health promotion strategies should be an integral part of any disease prevention and control program. This was followed by ‘HEAL Health Honours Presentation Ceremony’ and interesting panel discussions on topics like ‘Food safety and complete nutrition for a healthy India’, ‘Passive Euthanasia’ and ‘Living Will’ Threadbare and ‘Technology paving the way for more effective healthcare solutions.’ Delhi-based nutritionist Kavita Devgan was also a part of the conference that concluded on November 11, 2017. She moderated a session on ‘Food safety & complete

nutrition for a healthy India’. Talking about the nutrion standards in the country, she concluded, “Nutrition standards are clearly not up to mark, with deficiencies becoming an epidemic now, and creating mayhem at par with major lifestyle disorders, and food safety situation needs a huge prop up too, as lately multiple breaches have come to light. It’s good that we have more talk about this now, as this as dialogue can only help. In fact, with such a wonderfully curated panel, the convention is indeed the best platform to talk about factors like the widespread consumption of antibiotics from poultry and seafood, the excess salt, sugar and fat and also the additives and chemicals that we are unwillingly and often unwittingly consuming due to the excess consumption of packaged foods…and the resultant rise of NCD’s, superbugs, toxicity in our body, and the dual threat of over consumption running parallel to widespread deficiencies — the undernutrition that is so unique to our country.”
