Ubuntu

BEAUTYFORWARD® EDITION 5

Translated from Zulu, the word ‘Ubuntu’ means ‘I am because we are.’ It reflects the fundamental human need for togetherness, to feel we are accepted, and part of a community. Whilst demand for togetherness prevails, social restrictions make it more challenging to achieve. Thus, activities instilling a sense of community are valued more highly, linked with a sense of happiness and support. Consumers increasingly focus on commonalities with others, striving to feel senses of unity and belonging. In response, cosmetic brands are providing products that address widespread and relatable needs, with emphasis on togetherness in the ‘New Normal’ and experiences shared by many.

 

Formulation take-away: focus on community-wide characteristics of the ‘New Normal’, specifically those linked to togetherness, such as skincare for mask-wearing and at-home hair care

  • Beauty Unwrapped
    Plastic pollution is widely viewed as one of the most pressing environmental issues, resultantly, the packaging of cosmetic and personal care products is under increasing scrutiny. With the responsibility to package products sustainably placed on brands, solid formulations are becoming one of the most viable enablers for reducing plastic. As concentrates, solid products provide more use per unit of volume of product, thereby reducing packaging demands. With reduced water content in formulations, solid products additionally open the door to alternative packaging choices such as cardboard, or cork. In turn, this also provides branding benefits: with fewer consumers buying in shops, packaging viewed on delivery becomes a first impression of a brand and a chance to communicate ethical brand values.
