  Of course “sustainability” was the key message. In our opinion, there are different levels of a sustainable product. Some on the surface with a nice pack or formula and others engrained deep from the conscious sourcing. With consumers demanding more transparency, we wouldn’t be surprised, in the future, to see more visibility of suppliers behind great brand innovations.
  
  Beauty shouldn’t shy away from showing off with its specialists who have built amazing savoir-faire over the years, and often great innovations are the result of successful partnerships with brands and specialist suppliers.
  
  To help you decipher sustainability, and identified to truth from the made-up news, we are building tailored courses online about packaging, formulation and marketing claims.
  
  We will release the marketing claims in the next few weeks, and the packaging course, and formulation course before the summer as well… stay tuned so you can join us.
