Founded in 2010, Glamglow has a strong Hollywood following and has created a buzz on social media. It is sold in 112 countries in prestige distribution and had sales of $103m in 2013 with just three products. It now markets five mud-based facial skin mask products, formulated with a patented Teaoxi leaf-steeping technology. This month, the brand will launch a new range of mud-to-foam daily cleansers. Glamglow is ELC’s fourth acquisition since October 2014. In a move to reinforce its haircare R&D capacities, L’Oréal acquired Israeli hair technology company Coloright in December.

  • 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.

    Cosmetics: Consumers’ Choice; Consumers’ Policy by Malena Boome A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Studies The Evergreen State College June 2018 ©2018 by Malena Boome. All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Studies Degree by Malena Boome has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Edward A. Whitesell, Ph. D. Member of the Faculty ________________________ Date ABSTRACT Cosmetics: Consumers’ Choice; Consumers’ Policy Malena Boome Human exposure to toxins happens in a variety of ways in people’s daily lives. Most of these toxins are known; however, one source of toxic chemical exposure may be coming from a lesser-known place, from cosmetics. Cosmetics policy in the United States under the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is often referred to as much more relaxed than in other similarly developed countries such as those in the European Union. This thesis researches whether or not current cosmetics policy in the United States matches the opinions and perceptions of the consumers the policy is in place to protect. As of now, there is information coming from professional parties such as politicians, cosmetic companies, and scientists that inform the current cosmetics policy in the United States. This research concludes that consumer’s opinions and perceptions do not align with current cosmetics policy in the United States. Natural cosmetics were seen as a viable alternative to conventional cosmetics in the United States, and this research explores barriers that may be disconnecting consumers from purchasing these products. This research conducted an online survey that asked questions regarding opinions on current policies, as well as natural cosmetics and policy suggestions that have been made by researchers and cosmetic safety advocacy groups.

With e-commerce growth significantly outpacing brick-and-mortar, millennial customers are spending a staggering number of hours on social media, all while preferring to spend money on experiences versus products — what will the role of brick-and-mortar be in a brands go-to- market strategy. How will brands utilize this space and make it productive? Will it even be needed? According to Boston Consulting Group, in the past, 60% of luxury growth came from retail expansion while in the upcoming decade, it is predicted that only 35% of growth will come from retail expansion, leaving the remaining 65% to come from organic growth. The brick-and- mortar store must therefore evolve its productivity and attractiveness to its customers. Our research has shown that not only will brick-and-mortar remain an integral part of a brand’s retail strategy, but it will also be at the heart of the brand’s relationship with the customer.
