The claims I won’t make in beauty and why

There are claims we can make easily because everybody understands or do they? It’s not clear what people understand or expect from your product or service. Making “green” claims is even more complex since it involves a lot of parameters. In other words, we need to understand why we

Need to learn what to do first to prevent climate change?

As a marketing professional you need to make decisions on matters you don’t really master yet! You’re not an environmentalist or a packaging technologist, yet, you have the final say. Why can’t you get 100% PCR materials? Why couldn’t you use refillable packaging? or isn’t

Better sustainable beauty marketing claims

Marketing claims are getting more pressured by new legislation every day. Formulas have a very strict array of regulations, and when it comes to packaging it seems that we are entering a dangerous territory as well. There are the claims that the public won’t hear anymore. Or that it

What if you could change the beauty world now

COP26 is upon us and a lot of us are watching. Are we expectant of good outcomes? Or are we ironically turning our heads the other way? What if we didn’t need to wait any longer and if we could act now? What if we were making a u-turn

What if all made sense about sustainability and marketing

Sustainability is no silver bullet. Yet, you need to implement it NOW, in your brand portfolio. Where do you look for information, how do you learn? When looking at the news, to prepare this content, I feel I am more confused now than I was yesterday. Contradictions, misunderstandings, mis-interpretations, short-comings.

Oftentimes, our shopping behaviour doesn’t match our good intentions. And there are many factors to consider here: price, value for money, product utility, and convenience. To name a few. And for the younger generation, the “ fighter “ for the planet ones, it seems that they, “in particular, are saying they

La plastique c’est fantastique, or is it?

Plastic is public enemy number 1. But is it realistic to remove it from our beauty ranges and think that all will be well, and everything will work smoothly? If we can’t live without plastic, what are the best solutions out there in beauty, and how to implement “cleaner”

After the month of September, we’ve just been through, I don’t know if I have any more “energy” in me to keep going. And I’m not the only one, in every industry, all of my friends report the same feeling… …. September was like a storm. With all
