As Sales figures are another way to gauge success— always, choosing the winners was no easy feat when after all, numbers never lie. As you’ll see in “Beauty’s Top 75” on page 46, the industry’s top 10 companies all managed to achieve growth. Our annual com- pilation of the world’s largest cosmetics companies has a new format this year, ranking companies on their calendar year 2006 sales, rather than fiscal or calendar year. L’Oréal once again holds the top spot, with $19.84 billion in sales, an 8.7 percent increase versus 2005; Procter & Gamble comes in at number two, with $17.5 billion, up 8 percent from the year before. After a period of intense restructuring, Avon moved up a place to number five, while Kao shot to number seven thanks to the integration of Kanebo, and Limited Brands passed Alberto Culver to grab the number 10 spot. of particular note was the rise of highly specific niche brands that may do only one thing, but do it very well. it was also impossible to ignore the increasing influence of the green movement. As we were reviewing the year that was, we also turned our attention to the year ahead. Though America’s fascination with fame shows no signs of waning, a new type of celebrity is gaining ground— the cyberstar. This issue’s cover girl Cory Kennedy epitomizes the trend. The high school senior gained nationwide notoriety after a photographer friend posted her pictures on his Web site. While adults may not yet know her name, Kennedy has become a hero to a younger generation for whom celebrity is the definitive barometer of success, the Internet the ultimate avenue. Discover online’s rising stars in “The New Fame Game” on page 38, then turn to “The Vision Thing” on page 44 for some predic- tions on what 2008 holds in store when it comes to technology, cultural trends, Wall Street and ES more. There’s a lot to look forward to, and much to G celebrate, too. On behalf of the entire WWD Beauty Biz team, I’d like to extend our congratulations to all of this year’s winners. — JENNY B.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions What Types of Companies Are on the "Don't Test" List? This list includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, household-cleaning products, and other common household products. All companies that are included on PETA's "don't test" list have signed our statement of assurance verifying that they and their ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and will not do so in the future. We encourage consumers to support the companies on this list, since we know that they're committed to making products without harming animals. Companies on the "Do Test" list should be shunned until they implement a policy that prohibits animal testing. The "do test" list doesn't include companies that manufacture only products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals and garden chemicals). Although PETA is opposed to all animal testing, our focus in those instances is less on the individual companies and more on the regulatory agencies that require animal testing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Legend V - The company makes or sells strictly vegan products. L - The company has licensed PETA's official cruelty-free bunny logo. F - The company is a PETA Business Friend, and shopping at this company supports an innovative partnership for compassionate companies willing to assist in PETA's groundbreaking work to stop animal abuse and suffering.

  • Consumer Propensity Report by Category
    Consumer Propensity Report Marketing and Merchandising Intelligence for Local Business The Consumer Propensity Report (CPR) shows the lifestyle, product, and psychographic likelihood indices for the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Major retail, restaurant, grocery, and consumer packaged goods firms use this very same information to drive marketing and merchandising decisions. Each analyzed item is assigned a propensity index score with 100 being average. For example, if the consumers within a trade score a 120 for a given analysis item you know that those consumers are 20% more likely to participate in or purchase that item than the average American household. A propensity index score of 80 would indicate that those consumers would be 20% less likely than the average American household to participate in or purchase that item. Information is provided for 32 major categories with over 4,800 total line items. Please note that line items are based upon national‐level purchasing and lifestyle characteristics. These line items are then correlated to the underlying household characteristics of the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Some line items may not be necessarily relevant or available currently in your market or region. The index score in these situations serves to indicate the degree to which the consumers would participate in or purchase that item if it were relevant and available. Often this is taken as an opportunity for expansion of a similar brand or concept within the category. CPR Categories Apparel
