EP13. Lifting the Lid on Beauty Industry Trends with...

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/08/07

Making sense of beauty industry trends can be daunting if you're an aspiring skincare entrepreneur. How do you interpret the daily flow of opinion on social media? Isn't trend forecasting just finger in the wind anyway? On top of this, there is also the lingering worry that by the time you've grasped the next big beauty industry trend, consumers will have moved on. However, as our interviewee in this episode of Green Beauty Conversations explains, market research is an incredibly powerful tool for

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/07/24

Gender-neutral skincare is a buzz term right now, but it wasn't four years ago when Grigore Madikians started making skincare in his kitchen in California. We're all familiar with this US State's pioneering environmental protection. California and green credentials go hand in hand. However, even in a place as eco-friendly as California, it still takes hard graft to enter the market with a sustainable, organic, vegan and gender-neutral skincare brand. When Grigore Madikians first started spending

2018/06/14

We decided it was high time to take stock of the natural beauty market now that it has matured and is going mainstream. Immediately, we thought of our graduates Elsie and Dominika from BYBI Beauty as the ideal interviewees to discuss a raft of perennial issues such as greenwashing and the use of those vague terms we see liberally and often erroneously used in the beauty business, such as sustainable, cruelty free, and even the word natural. Entrepreneurs, beauty bloggers and Formula Botanica

EP10. Insider Tips on Working with Beauty Bloggers

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/06/14

Working with beauty bloggers is easy; you just send them a few products and they will review them. After all, beauty bloggers typically spend their days leisurely indulging in trying out products or heading to the spa for some pampering. This might be the glamorous image we have of the life of a typical beauty blogger, but for successful bloggers who have made it big time, it's far from the truth. We needed some great insider tips on working with beauty bloggers from someone in the know. To rise

EP9. Men's Grooming Products Get a Make-Over with...

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/06/06

Men's grooming products and male grooming in general consist simply of a bit of hair gel, some deodorant and perhaps a quick trip to the barbers? That's what we thought until we discovered in this Green Beauty Conversation that men have their fair share of bad hair days too. Rarely, however, are they a catalyst for starting a business. But for two 20-something lads from London, that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, we talk to Josh Blackburn who along with best friend Liam Jennings founded

EP8. Why 100% Natural Claims Could Get You Into Trouble

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/05/14

We recently came across a New York Times article on the risks of making 100% natural claims in food and beauty. The article in question drew attention to the fact that there has been a spate of lawsuits against natural and organic skincare brands and retailers (particularly in the US). These lawsuits came about largely as a result of there being no legal definition of the word natural. They specifically targeted brands who made claims about being 100% natural, all natural or having ‘all-natural

EP7. Top 10 Beauty Trends at In-Cosmetics Global 2018

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/04/25

This year Lorraine and Gemma attended the In-Cosmetics Global 2018 exhibition in Amsterdam. In-Cosmetics is now in its 27th year and is billed as the leading event for personal care ingredients. The exhibition aims to bring together ingredients suppliers with product manufacturers with a focus on networking and building relationships. With around 780 exhibitors and 9000 visitors, to say that In-Cosmetics was jam-packed, busy and a tad overwhelming at times would be an understatement. However, the

EP6. Essential Oil Safety with Robert Tisserand

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/04/10

‘Robert Tisserand has just joined our Facebook group’, Lorraine messaged me excitedly. ‘The Robert Tisserand?’ I replied. ‘YES, THE Robert Tisserand’. This was an exciting moment for us at Formula Botanica. As organic cosmetic formulators, Robert Tisserand’s seminal work on essential oil safety had been a staple resource for Formula Botanica for years and his research into essential oils are highly regarded and respected within our wider community. Last year Lorraine and I were able to arrange a

EP5. Growing a Natural African Heritage Beauty Brand

2018/03/28

I was sitting quietly at my desk, head-down, getting on with my work (as all good working-from-home employees should do) when I received a message from Formula Botanica's Director Lorraine: ‘Two of our graduates from Daughter of the Soil are on Dragons' Den right now! You need to watch it.’ I stopped what I was doing right away, tuned in and watched Hellen Lawuo-Meena and Maria Magembe from Daughter of the Soil pitch to the Dragons. (For our readers/listeners who aren't in the UK - Dragons' Den is

EP4. The Beauty and Science of Plum Oil

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/03/09

When we met two of the sisters from Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil at the In Cosmetics conference in 2017, we immediately fell in love with their plum beauty oil. Once we heard more about their story and the development of the plum beauty oil we knew that we wanted to interview them and find out more. At Formula Botanica we love oils. We also love meeting skincare entrepreneurs and finding out more about what they are making, their processes and how they find inspiration. In September 2016, siblings

2018/02/20

We recently hosted a chat in our online classroom to find out what people’s biggest fears were about starting their business. We had many varied and interesting responses but there was one issue that kept coming up - formulators are scared of non-compliance with cosmetics regulations. In this podcast episode Gemma and Lorraine discuss what global cosmetic regulations are, what they mean to cosmetic formulators, how important they are and the steps that you can take to make sure you comply with

EP2. Are you looking for chemical free cosmetics?

Green Beauty Conversations by Formula Botanica ·

2018/02/20

If you are part of the natural, green, clean and organic beauty movement then you would have noticed the term 'chemical free' But what do people mean when they use that term or when cosmetic products are labelled as ‘chemical free’? It has been rightly pointed out that from a scientific point of view the term quite simply does not make sense as all matter is a chemical. All matter is made of chemicals. So that begs the questions "are the people that use this term ignorant?", "are they misleading me
